Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 13.1 - Arrival

Chapter 13.1: Arrival

The peach blossoms on top of Mount Qingcheng bloomed in abundance; it was extremely flouris.h.i.+ng. Right after they bloomed, the majority also started to wilt. Even though they had wilted, they still retained their pinkish white color. The sight was really befitting of the rumor of He Lin Temple’s amorous monk, adding quite a bit of charming and gentle ambiance to the mountain.

The weather up in the mountaintop was not as hot as at the bottom of the mountain, where it was extremely fresh and cool. Unlike in the past, Jiang Lî and Tong’er no longer needed to do endless work. Before leaving, Madam Liu had thoughtfully left enough food and silver for them. There also was Yu Xiang a.s.sisting at the side, and the nunnery was devoid of those hateful nuns. Tong’er’s laughter could be heard much more often than before.

On the second day of the sixth month, there was a sudden noise outside the nunnery. At this time, Tong’er was sitting in front of the window listening to Yu Xiang talking about interesting things that happened in the capital city of Yanjing during these past few years. She was startled upon hearing people’s voices and said strangely: “What’s happening outside?”

Jiang Lî, who was sitting together with Tong’er and listening to Yu Xiang, moved her eyes and quietly said: “They arrived.”

“Who has arrived?” Tong’er was puzzled.

Jiang Lî smiled slightly: “The people who are picking us up have arrived.”

Yu Xiang thought for a bit, then she got up and said: “This servant will go outside to take a look. Second miss, please stay here first.”

“There’s no need.” Jiang Lî smiled as she also got up: “I will also follow. Let’s just go together.” Without waiting Yun Xiang’s reply, she took the lead to walk outside. Upon seeing this, Tong’er hastily got up to follow her outside: “This servant will also go!”

Ever since the matter between Master Wu and Head Nin Jing An was revealed, both He Lin Temple as well as the nunnery were abandoned. Originally, although the incense burning here was not that vigorous, before its reputation suffered this devastating blow, those honorable people still took the initiative to come. Now, they were eager to put some distance between them and this place, afraid of being misunderstood as having relations and be pointed at by others.

As a result, it had been very quiet in the past half a month. With the abrupt arrival of people, it appeared particularly obvious.

As they stepped out from the big door of the nunnery, they were right away faced a group of people who had been standing in a row. There were approximately 20 people standing, with the majority of the people wearing bodyguard uniforms. There were also a few dressed as servant girls headed by a black-clothed madam. The clothes had a small vest made out of satin. On her hair, a solid gold hairpin of a dazzling flower the size of a person’s eye was inserted. As the person in the head, her stature was tall and lofty, her sight carried a bit of fierce arrogance.

These people standing here looked out of place. When the three people came out from the doorway, the madam heading the group sized them up. Her sight very quickly fell onto Jiang Lî. She took a step forward and said: “This servant greets second miss.”

Jiang Lî didn’t reply and moved slightly sideways while smiling. She wasn’t the genuine Jiang family’s second miss to receive this gesture. She also didn’t know what this madam’s name was. However, she also didn’t feel the need to be afraid.

The madam not only didn’t receive Jiang Lî’s reply, but from the looks of it, she had calmly received her greetings. She couldn’t help feeling somewhat astonished. Unable to hold herself, she raised her head to look at Jiang Lî.

In reality, six years had pa.s.sed, and there were not many people in the whole Jiang family who still remembered Jiang second miss. Even the people who had met Jiang Lî, afraid nowadays they could only vaguely remember the young lady’s appearance. This time, lifting her head up to see, the madam felt that the young lady before her was very unfamiliar. When Jiang Lî was sent to the nunnery, she was merely a young and tender child. However, at this moment, the girl before her eyes was wearing simple and neat clothing, with a clear look, and stood there elegantly. Making people’s heart rise a feeling of calmness.

With her clear and pure appearance, she deserved to be called Chief a.s.sistant Jiang’s di daughter, there truly was no difference with her father. In the madam’s mind, this sentence suddenly emerged for no reason.

Tong’er blinked her eyes and feeling strange, and she asked: “Sun momo, why did you come?”

As it turned out, this madam’s surname was Sun. Jiang Lî was thinking this when she heard Sun momo smilingly replied: “Madam ordered this servant to welcome second miss in returning home. Second miss has stayed here for a few years. Madam has been endlessly concerned and has repeatedly mentioned to the lord to bring second miss back home. A few days ago, lord finally agreed, and madam immediately sent this servant to bring a few people and pick second miss up.”
