Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 129 Part 4: Possessed

“It’s……. Ji-s.h.i.+.” Princess Yongning’s eyes flashed. But soon, she glanced at her servant girl suspiciously. “How did you find out about these things so clearly? What proof do you have? It’s true that Ji-s.h.i.+ hates Jiang Li, but Ji-s.h.i.+ always has a reputation for being virtuous. To protect the good reputation of Madam Jiang, so what if she has to endure? Moreover, Jiang Li was so cunning, Ji-s.h.i.+ may not be able to fight her.”

Mei Xiang whispered, “Princess, this slave’s younger cousin is working in Miss Jiang third’s courtyard, it’s this slave’s younger cousin that told this slave. She also said that Ji-s.h.i.+ hates Jiang Li very much. When Jiang Li went to Tongxiang, Ji-s.h.i.+ hired killers to harm Miss Jiang second’s life while on the road. However, it’s unknown why it did not succeed and Miss Jiang second still arrived safely in Yanjing.”

Hearing this, Princess Yongning clenched her teeth, “She is really lucky.”

So Your Royal Highness Princess does not need to worry, Miss Jiang second meddled in so many things and there are many people who want her life. This time, Miss Jiang second won over Xue’s case, Ji-s.h.i.+ must not be able to bear it even more. In order to avoid further danger, Ji-s.h.i.+ will definitely deal ruthlessly. Princess might as well look on, if Ji-s.h.i.+ wins and Miss Jiang second suffers defeat, it will naturally be to everyone’s satisfaction. If Ji-s.h.i.+ loses, then Princess has to be even more on guard against Miss Jiang second, Miss Jiang second is clearly not simple.”

“You are talking about Ji-s.h.i.+?” Princess Yongning said with disdain, “She’s just a married woman, if she really has the ability, how could she tolerate Jiang Li climbing on her head, and still reached this stage now. It can be seen that she has no ability. I don’t think she can deal with Jiang Li.”

“Ji-s.h.i.+ is nothing, but behind Ji-s.h.i.+ is the Vice Imperial Censor, the Ji family. Don’t forget, princess, Li-pin is a member of the Ji family. Li-pin is not a fool, able to obtain His Majesty’s doting in the palace. If Ji-s.h.i.+ truly has no way, she only needs to ask Li-pin for a method, Li-pin would not refuse. So….. who will be victorious or who will be defeated in the end is still hard to say.”

Princess Yongning nodded and said, “What you said makes sense, Li-pin indeed has a bit of a brain. Since it’s like that…..” She looked at Mei Xiang, “Since you are clever, think of a good way to push the wave in this matter. Take advantage of your younger cousin, or you think of a way yourself. Within a month, I want Ji-s.h.i.+ to take action on Jiang Li. No matter what the result will be….. The two of them must receive casualties!”

Mei Xiang responded in a hurry.

Only then did Princess Yongning seem to feel a bit happier. She looked at Mei Xiang and said, “You are loyal, don’t worry, if this matter succeeds, your merit will be recorded and you will be greatly rewarded.”

Mei Xiang thanked her joyfully. When she lowered her head, no one saw the unusual flash in her eyes.

……

In the Jiang residence, Ji Shuran was chatting with Jiang You Yao.

Jiang You Yao was laying on Ji Shuran’s knees. Ever since Zhou Yan Bang’s affair had pa.s.sed, Ji Shuran had been looking for a suitable talented youngster for Jiang You Yao. There were actually some good ones, but Jiang You Yao was absent-minded. Ji Shuran could see that she still had feelings for Zhou Yan Bang. Fearing that she would do something inappropriate, she asked people to constantly monitor Jiang You Yao or accompany Jiang You Yao herself, not letting Jiang You Yao have the opportunity to go out and make mistakes.

Jiang You Yao did not know whether she was decadent due to being discouraged or any other reason. It was on the day when Jiang Li returned that Jiang You Yao’s fighting spirit ignited. She wished Jiang Li would end up miserably.

Unfortunately, her wish failed. Jiang Li brought the people from Tongxiang county to redress Xue’s case and made her reputation even better. And her reasoning in the palace discussion, her arguments that knew when to advance or retreat, also made some court officers praise her endlessly.

No matter how one looked at it, Jiang Li had gradually surpa.s.sed her.

Ji Shuran’s maid, Xia Han, walked in and said, “Madam, second miss is not in the residence, it was said that she went to the Ye residence to visit Xue Huaiyuan.”

“Xue Huaiyuan,” Jiang You Yao snorted upon hearing this name. “Isn’t he just a madman, still has to be looked at the whole time. She’s really just putting on an act, wanting to become famous, to gain a reputation of being kind hearted.”

Ji Shuran did not pay attention to Jiang You Yao’s words and asked, “Did you find out if there’s any relations.h.i.+p between Jiang Li and the Xue family before?”

Xia Han shook her head, “Second miss had always stayed in Yanjing since she was born. As for going to other places, it was just Mount Qingcheng for eight years. The Xue family had never been to Mount Qingcheng. Not the least bit of relations could be found between them.”

“That’s strange.” Ji Shuran’s eyes flashed, “Since there’s no relations, why is she so concerned about Xue Huaiyuan?”

“Mother, I’ve said it, she is just keeping up appearances for others to see that she has a merciful heart. Really disgusting.”

Ji Shuran shook her head and said, “She’s really not acting.”

Indeed, Jiang Li was a shrewd girl with intention. At her age, there were not many girls who were like her, able to conceal the happiness and anger on her face. However, precisely because of this, her mood was sometimes revealed. It was unusual for her to display her emotions. Her concern and closeness towards Xue Huaiyuan was not a pretense.

Jiang Yuan Bai also felt this. That’s why these days, Ji Shuran had blown pillow winds to Jiang Yuan Bai without a trace, telling him that Jiang Li was not as close to him as towards an outsider.

Although Jiang Yuan Bai did not say anything, inside, he must have minded. So these days, he had been indifferent towards Jiang Li.

For Ji Shuran, this was not enough. She must uncover the secret inside and grab hold of Jiang Li’s handle, only then could she win with a single strike.

Xun Chun spoke from the side, “This slave sees that the second miss treats Xue Huaiyuan as her own relative. Second miss could not have been possessed, right?”

Possessed? Ji Shuran’s heart moved.

She said, “What nonsense, can you talk about being possessed so casually?”

When Jiang You Yao heard this, she said in disapproval, “I think she is really possessed. Otherwise, mother, why did she become different after returning from Mount Qingcheng? Mount Qingcheng could turn a fool into a clever person, then those nuns and monks are immortals, right? Perhaps she was occupied by whatever fox spirits coming to our house to make trouble.”
