Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 14 Part 2: Return to the residence

After the incident at Mount Qingcheng, the matter of the Jiang family’s second miss being sent to the bewitching Buddhist nun was known by everyone. It seemed that Liu Yuan Feng did not let go of the opportunity to smear the Ji family. Naturally, there was also the help from Madam Liu. To prove that she was a caring and virtuous stepmother, it was necessary for Ji Shuran to block people’s mouth. Not just showing up to welcome her, she also needed to make the entire people in Yanjing know that she ordered the return.

There was no option but to do it grandly. Whether it was the carriage or the bodyguards, all were done by Ji Shuran to show her face, however, it inevitably had also raised Jiang Lî’s status. This move let the people in Yanjing know that even though Jiang second miss had a poisonous heart and had harmed her stepmother and brother, even though she was sent to the nunnery and there was no news of her for seven years, she still was the Chief Assistant’s golden branch and jade leaves1 di daughter and must not be neglected.

However, it was not known whether the current madam, Jiang Lî’s stepmother, Ji Shuran, was annoyed when doing all these.

Jiang Lî slightly raised the corner of her mouth. She was not at all afraid of the coming days living in the chief assistant’s house. Even if ahead of her were mountains of daggers and seas of flames2, wolves and tigers3, she didn’t dread them. As a person who had died once, her courage had been casted into strong irons. Becoming the Jiang family’s second miss, from now on, she would assume the responsibility of Jiang second miss’s past and future with the best of her ability.

And for her ultimate goal, she needed the support of Jiang family’s power and influence to approach that person. To get on the road for revenge for that pair of people.

The carriage travelled along a route and it was unknown how much time had passed before it finally stopped in front of a residence.

The outside that was bustling with activities seemed calm down in a moment.

Then, Sun momo’s voice was heard from outside: “Second miss, we have reached home.”

Reached home.

This, was Jiang Lî’s home.

At the doorway of the residence, outside the carriage, there was a crowd of people watching. Since a few days before, the news that Jiang second miss was about to return home had been known to everybody in Yanjing. Seven years ago, the matter of Jiang second miss harming her stepmother caused some noise for a while. Moreover, currently Jiang Yuan Bai held an important position in court. Jiang family’s affairs naturally attracted the attention of the people.

It was the Jiang second miss who had never returned home in seven years.

In front of the Jiang residence’s huge gate, a huge group of people were standing straight. A beautiful and gentle madam with considerable charm was at the head of the crowd. Standing at one side of her was a young girl, a delicate and charming lady. She had fine facial features, just like the ladies in paintings. In the middle of the two women was a man. With a tall figure, he looked handsome and pure, very refined.

This was precisely Jiang Yuan Bai, as well as his wife, Ji Shuran, and their daughter, Jiang You Yao.

The common people’s whispers were transmitted to their ears.

“Jiang third miss grew to be so pretty, how about Jiang second miss?”

Another person spat out: “Jiang third miss resembles her mother, can’t you see Madam Jiang’s immortal beauty and exquisite appearance? I heard that Jiang second miss’s birth mother, the previous Madam Jiang, her looks were just average. If Jiang second miss follows her mother’s looks, yi, the difference will be too wide.”

“That also can’t be said, you have never met her.”

“So what if I’ve never met? Leaving appearance aside, Jiang second miss stayed at the nunnery for seven years, she will not know the rules and etiquette. How could she reach Jiang third miss’s accomplishments? What’s more, that nunnery is filthy. Maybe she has been infected by something. Then, she will be even more unsightly.......” The voice grew fainter, apparently the speaker was afraid that if someone were to investigate, he would suffer the disaster from gossiping.

When Jiang You Yao heard this discussion, she almost couldn’t restrain the curve of her lips. However, looking at Ji Shuran at the side, she still remained composed, her appearance was fitting to the situation. So Jiang You Yao’s inner feelings soon disappeared.

Sun momo had called out some time ago, yet there was still no movement from inside the carriage. At the side, Jiang Yuan Bai frowned slightly. At the time when the crowd had grown impatient, suddenly, a crisp voice came out from inside the carriage.

“Young lady, this servant will support you to go down from the carriage.”

The carriage’s curtain opened and someone lent an arm to support Jiang second miss to come down.
