Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 93 Part 5



Chapter 93 Part 5: The Ye Family

“Don’t speak nonsense,” Ye Jia’er stopped Ye Ru Feng’s speech, “even if older cousin is an official in the Ministry of Revenue, it’s still not worthwhile for the Jiang family to curry favor with our Ye family. There are many people who have both power and influence in Yanjing, those people still want to stay close to uncle. Why would uncle allow Jiang Li to return to Xiangyang just because of the relationship with older brother?”

“Once opening the mouth it’s calling uncle. Sis, have you forgotten,” Ye Ru Feng said: “our uncle has now married another woman. They no longer look at our Ye family. You calling so intimately, could it be that you are thinking of catching up to their chief assistant’s momentum and become the eldest young miss in Yanjing?”

“You!” Ye Jia’er was rendered speechless from anger.

“Okay, okay, don’t argue,” Zhuo-shi had a headache, “it’s confusing enough already, if you two want to argue, go and argue outside.”

Right at this time, someone knocked on the door from outside. It was Ye Ming Hui and Guan-shi walking in. Apart from Ye Ming Yu who was still outside and had not returned, the two rooms of the Ye family were in this room.

“Second brother, what do you mean by this?” As soon as Ye Ming Hui entered the door, he immediately asked.

Ye Ming Xuan rarely saw his older brother’s heavy look and suppressed anger and was startled for a while. He then asked: “What meaning?”

“Why did you bring her back?” Ye Ming Hui frowned, “also didn’t inform us in advance. What on earth are you doing?”

“Older brother, don’t admonish me like you admonish the third brother.” Ye Ming Xuan felt wronged, “It wasn’t my idea to bring Jiang Li back to Xiangyang, she proposed it herself.”

“She proposed it herself?” Guan-shi was puzzled.

“Yes.” Ye Ming Xuan simply sat down and carefully told them of all the events. How he was reunited with Ye Shijie in Yanjing, how Ye Shijie brought up Jiang Li, how he went to the Jiang family and met Jiang Li and how Jiang Li proposed to go back together with him to Xiangyang. That’s all, Ye Ming Xuan spread both his hands, “this is what happened. After listening to it, can you understand what our niece’s intention is?”

Nobody foresaw so many eventful things to happen when Ye Ming Xuan made a trip to Yanjing. They even more didn’t anticipate Jiang Li to repeatedly turn into the topic of discussions after she returned to Yanjing in less than half a year.

“Did she really achieve the top list for Ming Yi Hall’s six arts, and still be awarded by the emperor?” Ye Jia’er asked in amazement, “didn’t younger cousin stay in the nunnery for eight years? Without anyone in the nunnery to instruct her, how did she achieve the top position?”

“Yes.” Ye Ming Hui muttered to himself, “could she be a genius?”

“How many genius are there on earth.” Ye Ming Xuan shook his head and smiled. He said: “The way I see it, Jiang Li has many secrets at hand. That day when I paid a visit to the Jiang residence, at first I thought, as Jiang Li just returned to Yanjing, with Ji Shuran around, she must be spending her days in caution. Who would know that it didn’t turn out like that. Her position in the Jiang family was higher than I initially thought. Think about it, within half a year, being able to reach this degree, it’s not something that an ordinary person is able to achieve.”

Each and everyone in the room was silent, pondering upon Ye Ming Xuan’s words.

“In any case, she also helped Ye Shijie during the palace feast. Before that, she warned Shijie about Li Lian. Regardless of whether she wants to make use of the Ye family or planning to do other things, for the time being, she would not harm Shijie. I originally went to the Jiang residence to personally see Jiang Li with my own eyes. After all, I understand Shijie, this child, very clearly. He said that Jiang Li had changed and she wasn’t the same, then it means she was precisely different. Who would have thought, after I went I discovered that she was not just different, she was simply like two different people.”

“When she proposed going back to Xiangyang, at first I surmised that it was the Jiang family’s idea. But when I looked at Jiang Yuan Bai and old madam Jiang’s manner, they didn’t seem to be aware of this thing at all. I want to get to the bottom of what she’s actually doing so I simply agreed to her. As for why I didn’t tell any of you on the way back, the journey was rushed so I overlooked it.”

After a bit of silence, Ye Ming Hui said: “You didn’t do anything wrong like this. Since we didn’t know what she meant, then just see how it goes first.”

The tone in his speech showed that he didn’t treat Jiang Li as a close relative but more like a stranger whom he didn’t know the purpose of coming.

“But, second brother,” Guan-shi worriedly said: “you brought her back, she said she wants to see mother. But mother’s current health truly cannot withstand any tossing. If she is aware that Jiang Li has returned, we can’t say that something might not happen. This..... you say, should we let her see mother or not?”

Ye Ming Xuan was stumped and subconsciously looked towards Ye Ming Hui.

Ye Ming Hui spoke in a deep voice: “Let her meet, but communicate it clearly with mother beforehand so as not to scare her.”
