Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 3.2 - Daughter



Chapter 3.2: Daughter

Afterwards, although Ye Zhen Zhen had passed away, Marquis Ningyuan’s heir and Jiang Lî’s engagement was still valid. Even if it hadn’t been announced in Yanjing, there were witnesses to the marriage contract.

However, a few days ago, a Buddhist nun came to the small nunnery to deliver rice and provisions. She mentioned that Marquis Ningyuan’s heir was betrothed to Jiang family’s third young miss, Jiang Youyao.

Jiang Lî was immediately stunned.

Marquis Ningyuan’s heir was obviously betrothed to Jiang Lî, how did it become Jiang Youyao? Jiang Lî had an intense and fiery character. She wanted to go back to Yanjing and demand clarification.

Nowadays, the people in Yanjing only knew the Jiang family’s third young miss. Nobody knew who Jiang’s family second young miss was. Even if they knew, it was only as the sinister daughter who had harmed her own younger brother. This kind of person, how would she be suited to Marquis Ningyuan’s heir? It could be assumed that Marquis Ningyuan residence also did not desire to take the engagement with Jiang Lî seriously. Otherwise, they wouldn’t consent to Jiang family’s second young miss being replaced by Jiang third young miss.

The old woman ridiculed Jiang second young miss who was noisily screaming to return home. She also joked that, even if in the end Marquis Ningyuan residence had no choice but to marry Jiang Lî, they also would not treat her well. Instead, it was more possible that they would be disgusted with her.

Upon hearing that, the Jiang family’s second young miss threw herself into the lake straight away.

Seemingly rescued but right afterwards contracting a serious illness, she ended getting thinner with every passing day. Originally, she was already very thin, but now it seemed that she would collapse with a single blow from the wind. However, despite falling sick and looking like this, nobody from Yanjing came to see her.

Perhaps, they were just waiting for her to die, and only then would someone come to collect her corpse.

It was possible that this was exactly what they wanted to do: for Jiang Lî to slowly die at the small Buddhist temple. Let her ‘die of an illness’ in a natural way. Everything was only following the intention of the one in charge.

This was similar to the time when Princess Ningyuan and Shen Yurong wanted Xue Fang Fei to die slowly.

Tong’er angrily looked at the mountain pile of chopped firewood located on one side. Contrary to the quantity, it wasn’t warm, but cold and damp. Both master and servant’s basic needs were entirely self-sufficient. Putting it grandly, “to see the wisdom of cultivating the heart and nurture the character”.

“If I had known earlier that it would be like this, at that time, it would have been better to go to Ye family in Xiangyang,” said Tong’er, “how would our young miss have spent her days ah.”

Xue Fang Fei felt slightly moved.

Jiang Lî’s maternal family, the Ye family, was located in Xiangyang. She could go to Tongxiang from Xiangyang.

She wanted to go back and give offerings to her deceased father. She wanted to go back and kneel to her father for being unfilial. To marry a person with the heart of wolf and the lung of dog1, wasn’t that inviting disaster? Harming the father to die from anger and the younger brother to lose his life.

If she wanted to return to Xiangyang, it was vital for her to first go back to Yanjing. At present, she was not allowed to go out from the Buddhist nunnery at all.

Raising the hands three times2, there were the deities; in this rainy day, raising the head there was only alarming darkness, no deities could be seen.

Unobstructed, she would walk step by step, walking energetically so she could arrive sooner to that place.

At that time when she was facing death, Princess Yong Ning gave her an advice, for her to reincarnate as the daughter of a distinguished family in her next life. Now, she was already the daughter of a distinguished family. Although she was in dire straits, it was impossible for her to be trampled anymore. This time around with her coming back, could they still be as well prepared as before?

Xue Fang Fei had already died, from now onwards, she was no longer Xue Fang Fei.

“I am Jiang Lî,” she said to herself.

Jiang family’s second young miss, Jiang Lî.
