Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 33: Yun Shuang

She had obviously placed the head ornament in a small box and buried it in a safe place ah!

Who did it? Xiang Qiao raised her head to look and came in contact with Jiang Li's eyes and her heart shivered.

Perhaps Jiang Li had known since earlier what she was about to do. She had been watching without batting an eyelid from the beginning. Thinking about it, those jewels bestowed by the main courtyard were originally the least in her mind. But now, they seemed to enforce the proof that she was a thief.

Jiang Li had started her conspiracy since that time!

How was she an ignorant country bumpkin? She knew everything, yet still pretending to be ignorant!

Suddenly Xiang Qiao felt desperate. She had messed up Ji Shuran's scheme, Ji Shuran naturally wouldn't forgive her easily.

At this time, Jiang Li again said: "Actually there's something I don't understand. Xiang Qiao, you exchanged my head ornament and used an inferior counterfeit to give third sister. When third sister received it, she would probably think that I don't have much silver. But why did you want to risk the danger of being discovered and deliberately made many knife scars on the gem. Shifting the blame on me, nearly causing me to be rejected by my father and mother." Jiang Li spoke patiently and systematically, "When I think about it, you have no reason to do it. Could there be someone behind who told you to do so?"

When the last sentence came out, there was a subtle change in the facial expressions of the guests.

Who was behind it, the Jiang's stepmother and stepdaughter's complicated relationship suddenly appeared vividly before everyone's eyes. Ji Shuran's heart skipped a beat, wishing she could hold and tear Jiang Li to bits. She stood slightly sideways and secretly gave Xiang Qiao a warning look.

Xiang Qiao was extremely afraid. She clenched her teeth, her mind was in a jumble. She wept while looking at Jiang Li: "Second miss, you clearly instructed this servant to do so. You said that third miss doesn't deserve to use that head ornament and asked this servant to look for an identical head ornament for thisservant to cut and scratch with a knife......."

"Really full of lies." Jiang Li sighed and shook her head. She was standing upright and looking down at her: "You just said the words and now you want to go back. This kind of lies, you don't need to say it again. Moreover, you didn't explain how you stole my box full of jewelry."

Then Jiang Li looked at Ji Shuran and spoke: "Mother gave me this servant girl, saying that she is excellent and hardworking. Normally I don't dare to neglect her. Unexpectedly, this servant girl is actually light-fingered and still dared to shift the blame on the master. Mother, this time you've made an error in judgement."

Ji Shuran only felt her face was hot as if she was being slapped in public. Just now, she still vowed and testified for Xiang Qiao's character in front of everybody. Yet at this time she had no choice but to withdraw her own words.

Ji Shuran smiled and spoke with difficulty: "It's all mother's fault. Mother....... was not clear with the person, making you suffer from injustice."

How could the mistress who was in charge of the family be unclear of the people. Yet, to place such a hateful person by the stepdaughter's side, the madams who sympathized with Ji Shuran before were immediately hit in their hearts.

Ji Shuran saw the expressions on the guests' faces and her heart was extremely angry. At this moment, she understood Jiang Li's purpose. Jiang Li wanted to use this matter as a pretext to return Xiang Qiao and remove the nail she installed in the Fragrant Courtyard.

Jiang Li smiled in her heart. Ji Shuran thought she only wanted to remove Xiang Qiao, this one nail? No, she simply didn't have time at the Jiang family to waste her mind on this trifle matter. Some things just needed to be done cleanly from the beginning so as to save many troubles in the future.

"Mother wasn't completely unclear about people." Jiang Li smiled and said: "This time with this matter, I still need to thank mother for giving me another servant girl, Yun Shuang. If it wasn't due to Yun Shuang's reminder, I also wouldn't know Xiang Qiao is the kind of person who turns her back on her master." She glanced accurately at Yun Shuang who was standing behind the people and sincerely said: "This time, many thanks to Yun Shuang."

Xiang Qiao who was on the ground was stunned. She suddenly understood many things, like sparks from hitting fire rocks together. But her mouth was already blocked by an old servant with a cloth and she couldn't speak at all.

Yun Shuang who was hiding behind the crowd was dumbfounded. Ji Shuran looked at her, making her feel ice-cold.
