Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 19 Part 2: Worth

“Indeed.” Xiang Qiao nodded, her heart though was apprehensive. Wasn’t it? Which man wouldn’t be offended when his own wife cuckolded him? Against the norm, this top scorer official did not mind at all. Fortunately, that Madam Shen died early, otherwise, if the top scorer official carried a green hat for a lifetime, he would receive peculiar gazes from the people, not to mention his colleagues. Even among common people, he would already be a laughingstock.

So to say, in the end, the heavens still have eyes.

Jiang Li covered her mouth and softly let out a yawn. “That’s it, today you’re already tired from accompanying me. I will also prepare to rest earlier. There’s Tong’er here to wait for me, the rest of you can go out.”

Xiang Qiao was Ji Shuran’s person, originally, she should stay close to keep watch over Jiang Li. However, today she was eager to go back and admire the hairpin with gemstone rewarded by Jiang Li. Therefore, she immediately agreed and retreated happily.

Tong’er closed the door after Xiang Qiao retreated and worriedly spoke: “Young lady, that Xiang Qiao is not good. She saw that you are easy to bully and deceived to take money out of you.”

“She deceived me, how would you know that it wasn’t me who had deceived her?” Jiang Li replied with a smile. Carelessly, she fished out two things out of the small box of jewelry given by Ji Shuran. All of them were luxurious jewelry. Although presumably it couldn’t be compared to Jiang You Yao’s things, at least, it was dazzling enough for a person who had stayed at the mountain for eight years.

But if one were to closely observe, upon seeing these shining jewels and hair pins, Jiang second miss’s eyes were not the slightest bit disturbed.

The entire Yanjing already knew of Xue Fang Fei’s death. The entire Yanjing also knew that Shen Yurong almost died together with Xue Fang Fei in the name of love. A man who had talent, appearance, and deep feeling. In people’s eyes, he didn’t have the slightest flaw. In his seniors’ eyes, in the Emperor’s eyes, the subject had deep emotion and his talent could be used.

Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning were working hand in hand, a pair of adulterous couple, causing the death of his life partner, Xue Fang Fei. All for the sake of establishing a name for himself as someone with a deep affection. Moreover, he still wanted to gain a good reputation, step by step seizing opportunities to climb to a higher position.

But this person with deep affection, in his innermost heart, how much shamelessness and fickleness, only heaven knew. If God really had eyes, he wouldn’t be so unfair.

What a good and affectionate person!

Nowadays, Shen Yurong had already stood at a tall enough position. It was also due to Princess Yongning’s support behind him. Even if Xue Fang Fei was dead and reborn, he and she were like the cloud and the mud. She would be incapable of reaching her hands and pulling him down from the clouds. And if she were to lose the key moment, Shen Yurong would only go even higher, even further, to a place she would not be able to touch.

Luckily, now she was Jiang second miss. In Yanjing, the Jiang family was an official with high status. Leaning on this tree, she would still be able to cool off in its shade1. This was her shortcut.

However, she must find ways to establish her position in the Jiang family. A Jiang second miss whose words carried weight would be able to do things more easily compared to a Jiang second miss who no one cared about.

At the moment, no need to mention the stepmother who harbored evil intentions, also no need to mention the unfamiliar second and third branches. There were even only faint affections with the nearest blood-related person, Jiang Yuan Bai, not at all deep and profound.

Then how shall she gain a foothold in the Jiang family?

Xue Huaiyuan once said, at whatever time, there must be one’s own worth.

She had to let the people in Jiang family know her worth.

1: She meant it as, the Jiang family was like a huge tree, big enough to shade aka support her.
