Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 123 Part 2: Grievance

When he arrived in Wan Feng Hall, old madam Jiang was talking to Jiang Yuan Ping.

The usual smile hanging on Jiang Yuan Ping’s face could not be seen, revealing a bit of seriousness. Jiang Yuan Xing was not present. Ever since Jiang Yu’e married into the Zhou family as a concubine, Jiang Yuan Xing had becmuch more taciturn. Previously, he could still exchange a few words with the two brothers, but now, whenever they met, there was only a brief greeting, with no other exchanges like how it was before.

However, the two brothers did not care, after all they were not brothers from the smother.

Seeing the arrival of Jiang Yuan Bai, old madam Jiang said, “Eldest, you know about it.”

“Mother,” Jiang Yuan Bai said, “son is ashamed, son did not teach Jiang Li well.”

Old madam Jiang sighed, she actually thought that Jiang Li was an outstanding and clever person. Ever since Jiang Li returned from Mount Qingcheng to the Jiang residence, she had taken Jiang Li’s words and actions in her eyes and felt that Jiang Li could be the smartest and most thorough younger generation in this residence. However, she was not really fond of Jiang Li. She did not know why, perhaps it was because Jiang Li always had a kind of gentle estrangement.

Jiang Li seemed to look at her respectfully but there’s no affection.

Yet this brightest younger generation now made such a muddled mistake in such a big affair. Old madam Jiang said, “I do not wish to blher, after all, she is my granddaughter. But the eldest, second girl always forgets one thing, that she is our Jiang family’s daughter. Before she does something, she has to first consider the effect on our Jiang family. The disturbance of what she is doing now caused an uproar. Not mentioning the Jiang family, how about you and the second at court? How will your colleagues look at the two of you, what would the emperor think? There’s also You Yao; her marriage with the Zhou family was broken, but she still has to get married. With the second girl making such a big ruckus, You Yao’s marriage will get affected. She’s really….. What is she doing ah!” old madam Ye shook her head repeatedly.

Ji Shuran heard Jiang You Yao was mentioned and immediately used the situation to her advantage. She tearfully said, “Master, what mother said is right. This time, Li’er really has done too much. You Yao did not do anything, it’s heir Zhou, now I don’t expect anything, just hoping to look for a proper marriage for You Yao….. With Li’er making such a fuss, which good family in Yanjing dare to get close to us. This, this, I really have no way. I’m Li’er’s stepmother, so I don’t usually dare to rebuke her and did not manage her too much. Master, you are her father, you must take care of her!”

Ji Shuran wiped her tears with her handkerchief. It’s hard to say whether she was truly worried about Jiang You Yao, but it looked extremely real. These words sounded ear-piercing in Jiang Yuan Bai’s ears and in a deep voice, he said, “What dare or not dare to, you are the main madam, she calls you mother, what is it that you don’t dare to manage! If she refutes in the future, bring her to me! I don’t believe no one can control her in this entire Jiang residence. In the beginning, I saw that she has made progress after returning from Mount Qingcheng, but it seems that she’s still the sas before. If I had known earlier, I would not have brought her back!”

Ji Shuran was overjoyed upon hearing this. Jiang Yuan Bai’s words clearly showed his disappointment at Jiang Li. As long as the guilt he felt towards Jiang Li disappeared, and becthoroughly disappointed, sooner or later, Jiang Yuan Bai would reject Jiang Li.

Old madam Jiang looked at Ji Shuran. How could she not know Ji Shuran’s plan? But she merely said calmly, “Things have occurred, whomever is to blcan be discussed later, it’s most important to decide what to do now.”

“Yes, eldest brother,” Jiang Yuan Ping also spoke up, “Li’er has just returned to the capital and the people in the entire capital are looking at us. We must not let her continue on like this.”

“I’ve thought about it,” Jiang Yuan Bai’s face was gloomy. “When they return to the residence, I’ll immediately lock her up and nobody is allowed to see her! Reversing the verdict of a criminal, Tongxiang disputes, all of these have nothing to do with her, they have nothing to do with our Jiang family! Those people can make as much noise as they want, anyhow Jiang Li must not be allowed to participate! Without Jiang Li, I don’t think they will get anywhere, everything will be just a joke. The people in the capital will laugh it off and this thing will pass. In the future, no one will mention it anymore! I’ll just take it as my Jiang family is playing in a drama to amuse the crowd!”

Everyone fell silent. Now it seemed to be the best course of action. The things Jiang Li did could not be altered anymore, so what they could do was to stop her from continuing further. No matter whether Jiang Li’s “reversing a criminal’s verdict” would work out or not, in the final outcome, their Jiang family beca laughingstock.

Jiang Li, a little girl, meddling in politics? Xue Huaiyuan and she were unrelated, why exert so much effort to help?

Sometimes the people’s spittle could drown a person to death, which was the most dreadful weapon.

As he was talking, Jiang Jing Rui ran from outside. As soon as he entered, he immediately asked, “I heard that Jiang Li has returned? Why didn’t I see her?”

Jiang Yuan Bai spoke unhappily, “has not arrived yet.”

“Has not yet arrived?” Jiang Jing Rui was baffled. “Based on the news received, Jiang Li should have arrived in our residence. She should have arrived no matter how slow she travels. It’s likely for her not to return to the residence.”

“How is it possible? Just returning to the capital, not returning home, where else could she go to, is this proper!” Jiang Yuan Bai spoke angrily, but there’s a trace of anxiety inside him.

Jiang Li was a smart person, acute and had her own ideas. When she’s determined to do something, she must have thought about it very carefully. Could she have thought that he would lock her up and dares not return home, intending to stay outside?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan Bai becfurious. She simply did not regard him as her father. Moreover, does she think that by not returning, he would not have any methods to bring her back? As long as this case did not go to court, he had to tie Jiang Li back home.

Jiang Jing Rui shrugged and no longer spoke. Right at this time, the young servant cback to give them news.

This taround, he seemed to be more panicked than before. It was in the middle of winter, but there’s sweat flowing from his forehead to his cheek. He said, “Old madam, master, second miss and the others are not returning to the residence. They, they went to Chang’an Gate.”

Chang’an Gate?

Jiang Yuan Bai’s expression changed greatly.

“What are they doing in Chang’an Gate?” Jiang Jing Rui asked curiously.

“Go to Chang’an Gate, beat the stone lion, and cry grievance.” Jiang Yuan Bai squeezed a few words out.

……

Chang’an Gate was located right in front of the palace.

On special days, the emperor would hold religious festivals here. On ordinary days, there were officers and soldiers guarding. Nobody would usually chere.

In the expanse square place, two tall and mighty stone lions stood upright. In front of each of the stone lions, there was a very large sheepskin drum with red paint with the drum’s mallet also placed in front. It’s unknown whether it was because no one had moved it for a long time, there was a layer of dust covering the face of the drum.

The convoy stopped in front of Chang’An Gate, and Jiang Li jumped down from the carriage.

With Chang’An Gate as the center, there were crowds standing in the four corners watching. When those crowds saw Jiang Li go down the carriage, their eyes brightened. Jiang Li was the protagonist of the play. Jiang Li had shown up and the good play was about to begin.

In a restaurant not far away, a beautiful man dressed in red looked absent-mindedly at the delicate figure facing Chang’An Gate. He instructed the person at the side, “Watch more closely, don’t let anyone enter the gap and kill the girl.”

“Yes.” Wen Ji accepted the order.

Jiang Li made such a huge disturbance, when that master knew, would naturally be flustered. Luckily, they did not have restraint, just afraid they would act on Jiang Li secretly while hiding among the crowd. Since she was his person, it would slap his face if others took her life.

In addition, he wanted to see how Jiang Li was going to win this situation, so he must protect her at all costs.

Jiang Li walked to the front of Chang’An Gate.

The young officers standing like statues in front of Chang’An Gate stared at her.

Jiang Li turned around, Ye Ming Yu stood beside her and the Tongxiang residents calmed down. They had arrived here, all of them knew what to do.

“I’ve thought it over, this matter cannot wait, so without returning home, I went straight to this place. Don’t put off tomorrow what you can do today. Today, since we have arrived in Yanjing, we should do the first thing first. Everyone, “ she pointed at the two stone lions and said, “This is my first tcoming here. This is Chang’An Gate.”
