Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 85 Part 4: Vying for a Husband

Translated more characters so only 4 parts for this chapter ^^, enjoy!

Painstakingly came up with a strategy to snatch this marriage from Jiang Li’s hand. Waiting joyfully for the husband to escort her and enter the husband’s house. Just need to wait for next winter, just need to wait until that time, she would be the justified madam of the heir.

But everything was ruined when it was almost complete. The result of her painstaking effort was to make wedding clothes for other people!

In Jiang You Yao’s heart, there was a murky despair.

Right at this time, there was the sound of women crying far and near from the outside. Some people entered Wan Feng Hall and they were actually the people from the third branch.

After he went in, without saying anything, Jiang Yuan Xing immediately knelt down towards old madam Jiang. Behind him, Yang-shi and Jiang Yu’e also knelt down following him.

Jiang Yuan Xing turned his head towards Jiang Yuan Bai and slammed his head twice onto the ground. He said: “Eldest brother, third younger brother has let you down. It’s the father’s fault for raising a child without education. This time, Yu’e rushed into disaster, all because I didn’t teach her well. It’s better if you beat me to death!”

Yang-shi also cried while facing Ji Shuran: “Eldest sister-in-law, I really don’t have the face to meet you. I know, this time, Yu’e’s mistake is really too big, but Yu’e is the meat that fell from my body. You are also a mother, I have no other way but to beg you to give Yu’e a way out. In the next life, I will be a cow and a horse to repay you!”

With misty eyes, Jiang Yu’e also cried towards Jiang You Yao and kowtowed. Unlike Jiang Yuan Xing and Yang-shi, she didn’t say so many words, just merely sobbed: “Third sister....... I’m wrong.......”

All the people in this family had gone as far as to come and apologized. For a time, Wan Feng Hall was filled with sorrowful crying, not at all lively.

Jiang Yuan Bai was a little awkward. This half-brother and he were not very close. It wasn’t due to their relationship as half-brothers, rather, it was due to Jiang Yuan Xing having no ability and a cowardly temper. Jiang Yuan Bai looked down on him. This time as well, there’s gold on a real man’s knees. Jiang Yuan Xing kneeling down to him, for Jiang Yuan Bai, this was not a display of Jiang Yuan Xing’s sincerity. On the contrary, he felt that Jiang Yuan Xing treated kneeling as a light matter.

Ji Shuran avoided Yang-shi’s hand that was trying to grab her skirt. She forced a smile and said:

“Younger sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Why ask me to give Yu’e a way out? I didn’t do anything to Yu’e. If you are talking about the marriage between the Zhou family and You Yao, you don’t have to worry. It’s no longer possible between our family’s You Yao and Ningyuan Marquis’s heir. Whatever plan Yu’e plans to do next, it will not have the least bit of concern with You Yao. So there’s no need for your speech about being a cow and a horse to repay.”

Yang-shi didn’t expect Ji Shuran to talk so frankly and straightforwardly. When she heard that Jiang You Yao and Zhou Yan Bang were no longer possible, then probably the marriage would not be completed and her heart sank even more. All the people in the Jiang family were aware of Jiang You Yao’s deep feelings towards Zhou Yan Bang. Now that Jiang You Yao was unable to enter the Zhou family’s door but Jiang Yu’e could, it would be a wonder if Jiang You Yao didn’t put it on Jiang Yu’e’s head.

Yang-shi’s mind was like duckweed floating on water, unable to distinguish left and right, up and down. She was at a loss, unable to take any action, totally flustered.

On the other hand, Jiang Yu’e who was listening felt very happy.

To be honest, if she were to choose between Shen Ruyun and Jiang You Yao to be Zhou Yan Bang’s main wife, Jiang Yu’e would rather pick Shen Ruyun. Staying with Jiang You Yao everyday would make Jiang Yu’e recall the days she spent being worthless in the Jiang family. It would also remind her of the fact that she was just a shu daughter.

Jiang Yu’e was not at all willing to stay together with Jiang You Yao. Jiang You Yao wanted her to admit defeat, she also had to give tea and pay respect to Jiang You Yao, waiting to serve dishes, just like the time she needed to compliment Jiang You Yao usually. There was no difference with how she used to pass her days before. Thus, she might as well wait upon a stranger.

The joy in Jiang Yu’e’s gaze fell clearly on Jiang You Yao’s eyes. Jiang You Yao only felt the fire in her heart “buzz”, and it soared high in an instant. The offensive joy made Jiang You Yao lose her reason, suddenly jumped up and pounced on Jiang Yu’e.

“Slut!” She screamed.

Jiang Yu’e, who was cowering and kneeling pitifully, was caught off guard by Jiang You Yao’s abrupt move to injure her. In a short while, she fell down, the pearl hairpin hair holding her hair in a bun flung away and she was pounced by Jiang You Yao to the ground.

Jiang Yu’e let out a blood-curdling screech.

......

The sun lazily shone on the window’s decorative pattern and a yellow oriole stopped on the crab-apple branch by the door, chirping cheerfully.

When Jiang Li passed by, the yellow oriole was startled, flapped its wings and flew higher up in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Li looked at the sky outside, it’s a good weather.

“Miss—— miss——” Tong’er trotted from outside.

Bai Xue was sweeping the floor. When Tong’er entered, she ran too fast and slipped, almost falling onto the ground. Bai Xue hurriedly extended her arms to support her. She deserved to be known for her great strength, just one hand was able to support Tong’er steadily. Only then was Tong’er able to stand firmly and straight. More scared than hurt, she gratefully said to Bai Xue: “Thank you, Bai Xue.”

“What’s so urgent?” Bai Xue asked curiously: “Can’t you speak slowly?”

“Cannot, it’s a first-class major event, telling it slowly will make it old news. Miss——” Finally, she found Jiang Li who was standing in front of the window, soaking in the sun. She said: “I found you at last, miss, today slave servant went outside the courtyard and heard something. Do you know what it is, miss?”

Before Jiang Li opened her mouth, Bai Xue had interjected: “You have not said, how is miss to know what it is?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Tong’er said: “Slave servant heard something happened in Wan Feng Hall last night. It’s unknown for what reason, the third miss and the fifth miss fought with each other.”

“Fought with each other?” Jiang Li didn’t expect it, but was relieved after thinking about it. Jiang Yu’e and Jiang You Yao, these two people, were originally not someone who could hold their anger, so it’s normal for them to fight. It’s just unexpected for them to fight in Wan Feng Hall. No idea how much face they’d lost in the presence of old madam Jiang, their courage was not small.

“Who won the fight?” Bai Xue only cared about this.

“Hehehe, third miss is so violent, of course third miss won the fight. Heard that the third miss still injured fifth miss’s face until bloody. This could cause scarring. But the strange thing was, third madam and third master didn’t say anything. Yesterday night they called a physician to come and take a look. Even if this matter was exposed, surprisingly no one blamed the third miss. This is too strange.”

Tong’er shrugged: “I also don’t know why they started fighting.”

Jiang Li laughed, she knew why.

It’s for Zhou Yan Bang.
