Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 51 Part 1: Complain
The people were watching the scene with excitement, waiting to see what kind of unclear lawsuit would be pulled out. Unexpectedly, Jiang Li abruptly tossed out such a sentence.
“OK.” Liu Zimin was afraid that Jiang Li would back out and immediately accepted. Although he had agreed, he still wanted to redeem some face and said to Ye Shijie: “Young Master Ye, I was also deceived by this painting which brought about such a misunderstanding. Though you tore this painting, we should forgive anyone who has made mistakes when possible. I also won’t argue with you on this matter anymore. Don’t worry about those taels of silver. Today, for the sake of Jiang Second Miss, the truth of this matter was shown. I’ll give this painting to you, I, this young master, doesn’t want it anymore.”
Hearing the booing coming from the crowd, with a lot of effort Liu Zimin restrained the humiliation and unwillingness in his heart. He cupped his hands in salute towards Jiang Li then feigned to calmly leave.
The two students following behind him also walked gloomily away together. Ye Shijie didn’t stop them, perhaps he understood that there was no benefit in continuing the argument. Ye Shijie looked probingly at Jiang Li. As he was about to open his mouth, he saw Jiang Li nodding slightly at him and saying to Bai Xue, who was standing next to her: “Bai Xue, bring this painting and give it to young master Ye. Then go back.”
Bai Xue answered in a low voice, rolled the fake painting of 《Bird Drinking in Spring》and passed it to Ye Shijie. Then she turned around and supported Jiang Li to walk to the carriage, without any meaning of talking to Ye Shijie.
Ye Shijie stared blankly at the master and servant walking further towards their carriage. The crowd watching in a circle also gradually dispersed while shaking their heads, throwing the many thoughts in their heads aside and walking away in other directions.
But nobody saw that in an alley not far from the street just now, there stood a sedan chair with a black phoenix roof. Outside the sedan chair, an imperial bodyguard was talking. If someone happened to pass by at this moment, they would discover that the person was talking about the dispute between Ye Shijie and Liu Zimin just now.
When the retelling was over, after a long time, a voice came from inside the sedan chair.
“Got it.”
The youngster inside the sedan chair leaned to the side in a lazy and leisurely manner, his red clothes spread on the soft cushion. In a subtle expression, he said: “Jiang family.”
Sitting opposite him, a scholar dressed in green was stroking his goatee while laughing: “Originally wanting to borrow Liu family’s young son to trap Ye Shijie, pressuring the Ye family to show up. Unexpectedly, this Jiang Second Miss turned the situation around and helped Ye Shijie to solve it. In this way, Master’s plan was entirely messed up.”
Although his speech had a regretful tone, yet there wasn’t the slightest trace of regret on his face. On the contrary, he looked completely relaxed.
“Ye Shijie is just a pawn,” Ji Heng brushed the dust on his sleeve and said: “from the start he doesn’t play a big role, if lost then it’s lost, nothing to worry about.” His appearance was distinctly gorgeous, yet his voice carried a trace of strange and low huskiness, similar to an ambiguous desire, making people unable to stop themselves.
“Besides, compared to Liu Zimin,” he slowly raised his lips, “Jiang Second Miss is much more interesting.”
……
Bai Xue and Jiang Li returned to the Jiang residence.
In Fang Fei Garden, Tong’er had been waiting in the courtyard since earlier. Since Jiang Li wasn’t there, Tong’er always felt awkward when doing things. Seeing the two of them returning, she jumped a meter high and noisily asked Jiang Li if everything had gone well and if she met any troubles.
Bai Xue was an honest and straightforward person, unlike the lively Tong’er. For instance, regarding Ye Shijie’s matter, she simply obeyed Jiang Li’s order and didn’t say more than needed.
Through Bai Xue, Tong’er heard about the dispute after school and nearly threw the cup down in fright. From time to time she cried out in alarm: “Goodness!”, “So hateful!”, “How could he bully people so much!”, “Thankfully miss is okay.”
