Chapter 26 Part 1: Shen Family
The third day of the seventh month was Jiang Youyao’s hairpin ceremony.
The whole Jiang residence had been bustling since the previous evening. Jiang Li who had originally been isolated, was naturally abandoned to the back of everyone’s mind. So much so that in the morning of the next day, no one in the kitchen remembered to send food to Fang Fei Courtyard.
Tong’er personally went to the kitchen to find some remaining cakes or pastries to give Jiang Li. On the other hand, she was extremely angry and wanted to speak up: “It’s just a birthday rite, both are the honorable young ladies of the Jiang residence. To go as far as to favor one and discriminate against the other to such a degree, it’s just too much!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJiang Li picked up a chestnut cake and took a bite while consoling her: “Jiang Youyao is the pearl in the palm of the people in the main house. Her birthday ceremony is, of course, a major event. Today there are a lot of nobles coming, naturally they cannot neglect them.”
“Young lady, with your manner of speaking, those who don’t know would think that you are an outsider.” Tong’er spoke: “You don’t feel so, but this servant feels unreconciled for you.” Then she continued: “The people in this Fang Fei Courtyard, apart from a few sweeping servants outside, there’s not even one person around. That Yun Shuang in the end is also a servant, but she pulled a long face all day long for people to see. How will young lady use her? Never mind this, that Xiang Qiao, she has taken so many jewelry but today even her shadow couldn’t be seen. She probably went to Ji shi to gain some credits. Pei, really raising an unfamiliar white eyed wolf!” Tong’er was already unhappy with Xiang Qiao and Yun Shuang from long ago. Today she couldn’t bear it any longer and spoke of her bitterness in one breath.
“Xiang Qiao is originally Ji shi’s person. The past few days, she was fawning in front of me just to get some silvers. My small box has been emptied out by her, of course she no longer has any reason to fawn over me again. As for Yun Shuang, I treated Xiang Qiao so well but she didn’t receive any advantages at all. She will certainly be more prejudiced against me.” Jiang Li finished eating a piece of cake and drank half a mouthful of tea to rinse her mouth.
Tong’er was looking from the side. Since returning to the Jiang residence, these past few days, Ji Shuran had for the time being not dared to deal with Jiang Li in the open. Food and other things to use were still not too bad. As a result, Jiang Li’s complexion had become somewhat better. Her facial features were originally born exquisite and clear. Her clothing compared to previous days was also better and exposed a beautiful form.
As well as her each and every movement, Tong’er was unable to describe, she just felt that they were especially moving.
Jiang Li saw Tong’er in a daze and asked: “What’s the matter?”
Tong’er came out of her daze and straightaway spoke: “Young lady, today is third miss’s hairpin ceremony. They wouldn’t not let young lady attend, right?”
Up until now, no one had come to notify Jiang Li to attend the ritual. If it was the real Jiang second miss, it would be hard to avoid displaying the mixed feelings in her heart. No need to think further, she would even be so frantic that she wouldn’t remember her place. After all, Jiang second miss already had a bad reputation. Such a person like the Jiang Old Madam who cherished her clean and pure reputation, in order to not to let Jiang Li make mischief during the ceremony, it was really possible that she would directly not allow Jiang Li to show up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the end, Jiang second miss had a history of harming her mother and murdering her brother, moreover, today Marquis Ningyuan’s heir, Zhou Yan Bang, would appear. If Jiang second miss saw Zhou Yan Bang and recalled how her marriage arrangement was forcibly taken away and by any change her mood was stirred up, it was possible that she might do something that overstepped the boundary.
Jiang Li laughed: “Impossible.”
Tong’er asked: “How is young lady so certain?”
“Even if each and every one in the Jiang residence doesn’t want me to attend Jiang Youyao’s ceremony, one person will definitely wish for me to take part in it, which is Ji shi. In order for me to attend the ceremony, Ji shi will certainly put in great effort to persuade everybody and give me the opportunity to attend this ritual.”
Tong’er stared with wide eyes at Jiang Li.
“The stage has been set up, if I don’t come to the stage to perform, how can their drama be played?” Jiang Li smiled gently, “it’s impossible.”
