Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 55 Part 2: Received and Paid For
Jiang Li knew, at the beginning, when Shen Yurong became the proud top scorer, in order to understand the characters of his future colleague above him, he had exerted a bit of effort. The Right Minister, Li Zhong Nan, had two sons. The eldest son was a handsome and talented youth in everyone’s mouth, but the second son, Li Lian, was clearly a hedonistic and evil son. Such a hedonistic son used paying a debt of gratitude as a cover, Jiang Li intuitively felt that something was fishy.
Probably because she thought it was fishy, she tried to recall a bit deeper. Suddenly Jiang Li recalled, the person who was looking for trouble yesterday, Liu Zimin, was a part of Li Lian’s pack of scoundrels. Moreover, he was on good terms with Li Lian.
If Li Lian was really thinking of repaying Ye Shijie, it’s not possible not to tell Ye Shijie’s name to Liu Zimin. If Liu Zimin was aware that Ye Shijie and Li Lian had relations, how would he dare to find trouble with Ye Shijie?
Unless, Li Lian knew about Liu Zimin finding trouble with Ye Shijie, or even acquiesced, or perhaps it was him who incited the matter.
But why did Li Lian want to do such a thing?
Within a short time, Jiang Li had already guessed any possibilities she could think of.
Ye Shijie didn’t know what Jiang Li was thinking about. Seeing Jiang Li lost in thought, he asked: “What are you thinking about?”
“Elder cousin,” Jiang Li said resolutely: “Li Lian, this person’s ways are not proper, his reputation in Yanjing is wrong. If you are thinking of becoming an official, it’s best for you not to have any relation with him. Otherwise, you might be implicated in the future. If it’s just you alone then consider it over, but if the Ye family is involved, the gains do not make up for the losses.”
Ye Shijie had a solemn expression as he asked Jiang Li: “Is there something that you know?”
An intelligent youth, Jiang Li silently exclaimed in admiration. However, at present, she herself also wasn’t clear on what Li Lian was trying to do, moreover it was not good to guess carelessly. She could only remind him tactfully: “It’s still unknown for now. But I think according to Li Lian’s temperament, he’s absolutely not a person who knows how to repay favor. Therefore, him recommending you to enter the Imperial College may not necessarily be without other reasons. Elder cousin Ye, in the future, you are someone who has to take on the task of carrying the people of the Ye family. It’s important for everything to be done cautiously. As for people like Li Lian, if you could keep away from them then keep away, okay?!”
“You…….”
Not waiting for Ye Shijie to talk, Jiang Li spoke again: “Liu Zimin and Li Lian are good friends. Yesterday you saw Liu Zimin’s conduct. Birds of a feather flock together, think about it yourself.”
Ye Shijie’s eyes moved. Jiang Li knew he was listening to what she was implying.
“Then what about you?” Ye Shijie inquired: “What are you trying to do? Although you said that yesterday you acted unintentionally, but our Ye family does business and pays most attention to not owing people. You helped me, what is the cost that you want me to pay? You want to repair the relationship with the Ye family?”
Tong’er who was standing and serving by the side heard the entire conversation and couldn’t wait to jump up. The Ye family’s young master’s words were really unpleasant to hear, as if Jiang Li was the same as those calculating merchants.
“How can I ask you to help me rebuild the relationship with the Ye family?” Jiang Li laughed carelessly and spread her hand out towards Ye Shijie.
Ye Shijie looked at the jade-like lily-white outstretched hand in front of him, the fingers were pointed like scallions, tender and spotlessly white. However……. Ye Shijie could also see the calluses between her fingers.
Ye Shijie stared blankly, he suddenly recalled that Jiang Li previously stayed in the nunnery for eight years. A period of eight years, after all she was a young girl, it was unknown how much suffering she had received. He originally had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, his speech was harsh but after seeing these, his heart unconsciously softened.
He heard Jiang Li’s not urgent nor slow speech: “Since elder cousin Ye said that I’m trying to do something, if I insisted that I do not want anything, elder cousin Ye would feel uneasy. In that case, just give me.”
“Give what?” Ye Shijie frowned.
“”Silver ah.” Jiang Li spoke righteously: “100 silver taels. The Ye family does business and should be familiar with this sentence, the goods are delivered and the bill is cleared.”
Okay peopleee we’re coming with great news!! We are preparing a new novel for the blog and we are sooooo excited!! it’s the one i wanted to do after finishing RP ( #unrealisticdreams) so you already know there’s gonna be lots of fun; but also cuteness, Lime also liked it very much so you can be assured you’ll enjoy it yes or yes! however, there’s one issue…
…the title in the raws suck lmao (well it’s a c-novel title so actually not that unexpected lol) so one crazy day we started to write many possible titles and we’ve done a selection and now it’s your turn to pick which title you’d prefer for the novel (which catches the most your attention? the funniest? most romantic? most spoil-me-the-whole-novel-plot?) i hope you are just as much hyped for this as we are hehehehe ^_^
SORRY i messed up and the first poll and it’s results went down the drain, however i had taken note of the 2 most voted options until then so we will take also that into account sorry >.<
(the winner may or may not become the final title -depends on whether I like it or not hahaha- but the most popular options will for sure have a higher weight when we take our final decision)
