Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 90: Uncle

With a glance, Jiang Li could make out the worry in Tong'er's heart and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even if old madam Jiang truly looked for her to criticize, it was also nothing. She could protect herself and retreat, and if the other party was really being unreasonable, it would probably just be forbidden to go out, that's all.

That was really not a big deal.

She said to Fei Cui: "Sister Fei Cui, please wait a while for me. I'll go and change clothes before we go." Jiang Li returned inside and put on a robe before going together with Tong'er and Fei Cui to Wan Feng Hall.

There's some distance between Fang Fei Garden and Wan Feng Hall, usually, one would always come across other people when going through this road. But nowadays, Jiang Yu'e was recuperating in the villa while Jiang You Yao was grounded. Jiang Yu Yan had a cowardly temper when she went out, thus they didn't run into anyone along the road, which was overly smooth.

Jiang Li was very satisfied.

However, Fei Cui was pondering in her mind, this second miss stayed in the nunnery for eight years and has just returned to Yanjing for no more than half a year. The young ladies in the residence are in chaos, everything was vexing, only this Jiang second miss has her whole body withdrawn, not touching the splashed water. Not just that, her reputation even spread far and she got the reward of the emperor.

It's really fengshui turning. At that time, after the second miss was banished to the temple, nobody thought that she would come back.

As a result, Fei Cui didn't dare to underestimate this gentle-looking second miss. Respectful in terms of words and deeds, invisibly appearing much more deferential inside.

Jiang Li sensed the change in Fei Cui's attitude and smiled faintly without speaking. Stepping on the low and holding up the high was human nature. As a major official family, the Jiang family's servants inside were also infected by the characters of bureaucrats, used to seeing the wind and rudders.

Not a good thing, but also not a bad thing.

At least, it created a lot of opportunities for her.

When they arrived in Wang Feng Hall, Fei Cui moved towards the door and smiled to the people inside as she said: "Old madam, the second miss is here."

Jiang Li followed Fei Cui inside. When she entered, she saw a familiar young man sitting below old madam Jiang, his head slightly raised, appearing both somewhat ill at ease and proud.

Jiang Li's footsteps paused, doubt in her heart. Ye Shijie, why is he here?

Towards this older male cousin, Jiang Li didn't dare to say that she totally understood him, but she could figure out Ye Shijie's nature. Previously, Ye Shijie spoke to Jiang Li with resentment in his speech, naturally he had no good impression towards the Jiang family. It should be known that Ye Shijie was studying in the Imperial College before, yet had never once visited the Jiang family. But today, to one's surprise, Ye Shijie came openly and even sat under old madam Jiang. Based on old madam Jiang's expression, they seem to be interacting pretty well.

Before Jiang Li could figure out clearly what was happening, she heard old madam Jiang speak amicably: "Second girl, come quickly and meet your uncle Ming Xuan."

Jiang Li was stunned, uncle Ming Xuan?

Only then she clearly saw a middle aged man sitting beside Ye Shijie. This middle aged man was clothed in silver white, wore a silver crown, and a gold band on his waist. He looked like a scholar, but looked a bit wealthier than the normal scholar. He had a fair face, his figure was slender, and his expression was rather sharp.
