Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 20 Part 2: Sisters

“So what if I give her things to do. Giving her a task, it’s also in order to give her things.”

“This servant doesn’t understand,” Tong’er was puzzled, “young lady, the silver in our hands now is not that much to give out.”

Jiang Li was somewhat amused by her own servant girl. She said: “You see, I only gave her jewelry, not silver. Do you know why?”

“Why?” Tong’er opened her eyes wide.

“Naturally it’s for others to see.” Jiang Li laughingly said: “To overcome the scheme, we need to divide the soldiers. Tong’er, if there’s a time someone gives you beautiful jewelry with precious gems, and doesn’t ask for the same price in return, you should guard against it. It’s possible that that person wants you to pay even more.”

Tong’er looked at Jiang Li with a baffled expression on her face. She still didn’t comprehend Jiang Li’s words, yet she felt something faintly. After thinking for a while, she still shook her head. Jiang Li was much more intelligent compared to her. What she couldn’t understand, Jiang Li would definitely be able to understand. There must be a reason behind how Jiang Li treated Xiang Qiao, she just needed to follow along.

“Let’s go out and take a walk.” Jiang Li spoke, “Since we have returned home, we should get familiar with our garden.”

“Ok ah!” Tong’er was extremely happy, “this servant will accompany you.”

Jiang Li changed her clothes. The tailored clothes weren’t ready yet and Ji Shuran, this stepmother, couldn’t be too obvious in her mistreatment. So she let some people send ready-made clothes that more or less fit for Jiang Li. These clothes appeared precious, but compared to Jiang Youyao’s clothes, the workmanship was a lot rougher. Worn on Jiang Li’s body, it didn’t reflect her temperament.

Although Tong’er liked good materials, she felt these red ah, green clothes didn’t look as good on Jiang Li as when she wore white ones. After pondering for a long time, she picked a green skirt for Jiang Li to wear.

At a glance, the style of these clothes seemed to resemble the style worn by servant girls. If it wasn’t careful, the green color could easily make the wearer look tacky. However, Jiang Li’s skin was thin and pale so when it was on her body, it didn’t look so bad. The color contrasting against her skin even made the whole person give out a tender and delicate appearance with a different kind of courageous look.

Tong’er and Jiang Li had stayed in the temple for a long time. They combed their hair into the simplest and most convenient hairstyle for work. They returned to Jiang residence and discovered there were different ways people combed their hair. Moreover, in the Jiang residence, they would be ridiculed if they combed their hair to the style of the servant girls.

Not waiting for Tong’er to think on how to style her hair, Jiang Li had already sat in front of the bronze mirror. Her hands deftly pulled and coiled her long, black hair, turning a few times before a top knot was done.

Tong’er opened her eyes wide in shock and spoke: “Young lady, how did you…….”

“I learned it before.” Jiang Li replied simply. When she was Xue Fang Fei and had just married Shen Yurong, in order to win the favor of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she learned how to comb hair, thinking that females love to look good. So if she combed their hair personally, perhaps they could get somewhat closer. Later on, her relationship with the Shen family completely broke, yet her skill of combing hair was still there.

“Young lady can do anything, really awesome.” Tong’er thought for a bit, there was a bit of doubt in her mind, “but how was it possible for young lady to specially learn how to comb hair? Isn’t this something that servant girls should do…….”

Sadly, before she got her answer, Jiang Li had already gotten up and gone out the door. Tong’er immediately pushed the question to the back of her head.

The Jiang residence was very big. Tong’er was originally just a sweeping servant girl. Afterward, when Jiang Li caused Ji Shuran’s miscarriage, all the people serving in Jiang Li’s courtyard were either killed or sold. When Jiang Li was about to be sent to Mount Qingcheng, Old Madam Jiang conveniently pointed her finger at a small servant girl to follow her. Tong’er was precisely that servant girl.

Due to leaving when she was still very young, Tong’er was also very unfamiliar with the circumstances of the current Jiang residence.

They had just taken a few steps out of Fang Fei Garden when they heard people’s voices. Jiang Li stopped her footsteps and raised her eyes to see a few people chatting in a small pavilion not far away from them.

Those few people had also seen Jiang Li and stopped talking. A person in the middle was looking especially beautiful and tender, wearing pink silk and soft cotton from head to toe.

It was Jiang third miss, Jiang Youyao.

I hope everyone is healthy, please stay safe ^^

Even if you live in an unaffected area, please wash your hands often and don’t be too close with others, avoid crowded places… That cases haven’t been reported in your area doesn’t mean there aren’t any infected people, just that they might remain undetected, being cautious will not harm you (but do not panic either!). If you live in an affected area, follow strictly the safety measures told by your government, not just for your own safety but also for the others’ sake. If you’re confined at home… congratulations, your hikikomori life has started! Don’t lie, at some point, we all have wished we could just stay home for days binge-reading novels or playing games all daylong ^^

We are in front of a global crisis so please be mindful and act with common sense, meaning, if they announce confinement to your city, don’t be an ass who grabs their luggage and goes on ‘vacations’ to their second residence! That will only help spread the virus to unaffected areas! I really wonder what some people have in their brain… >.<

And last but not least, we have a new novel fresh out of the oven to help you cope with the hard times! It’s super sweet, cute, funny and adorable, be sure to check it out^^ It’s about a certain ML Thinking of deer Fei Fei (≧◡≦)
