Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 136 Part 3: Girl

She spoke steadily, but her words were tears of blood. A bit of unbear showed on the constantly shrewish Lu-shi, she did not know what Jiang Yuan Bai thought after all. Even if Jiang Li had made mistakes, she was his own flesh and blood. If Jiang Jing Rui and Jiang Jing You made mistakes, she would punish them firmly, yet she would not go as far as Jiang Yuan Bai.

There was shame, anger and resentment on Jiang Yuan Bai’s face, and he avoided Jiang Li’s eyes.

Ji Shuran cursed fiercely in her heart, really a cheap person with a glib tongue. About to die but still struggle for a while, no wonder she’s so hard to deal with. No wonder this hussy is still alive despite her instruction to grind her down while in Mount Qingcheng!

Taoist priest Chong Xu felt faintly uneasy. For so many years, he had duped people everywhere, he even dared to cheat the emperor. Apart from his superior trick, it was also because he could accurately see people. As long as he grabbed hold of a person’s character and attacked them there, many things would become very easy.

However, this Jiang second miss… Before going to the residence, he had first found out everything she had done. Observing her during the time after he entered the residence, he unexpectedly could not discover her weak points. Even when it had reached this point, she wasn’t anxious at all. Instead, she used justifications step by step to counter the other person’s words and persuade others.

Despite whether she could convince them or not, her temperament was hard to handle.

Jiang You Yao said, “Although what second sister said was right, but….. In Mount Qingcheng, second sister did not grow up much different from us young ladies who grew up in the capital. In the examinations, didn’t second sister win first position in all six arts?”

Six Arts? Ji Shuran’s heart moved and she spoke with hesitation, “Actually, when Li-er was young, she did not like to study. It’s unexpected that after staying for eight years in the nunnery, she became a talented girl when she returned. Afterwards, I asked around, and the nunnery has no horse nor a guqin. But Li-er was able to learn without a teacher, it’s really too powerful.”

Jiang Yuan Bai looked at Jiang Li, this was also his suspicion. Although Jiang Li had explained it and Jiang Yuan Bai accepted her explanation, perhaps due to his mentality, he dispatched someone to make inquiries of the affairs in Mount Qingcheng. The result of this inquiry was the same as what Ji Shuran said.

How did Jiang Li become so smart? On earth, there’s genius, but it’s impossible for geniuses not to need guidance. It’s difficult for a clever wife to cook food without rice. With nothing, how could it succeed?

“Moreover,” Ji Shuran said worriedly, “Li-er previously went to Xiangyang and brought Tongxiang’s county deputy Xue Huaiyuan when she returned. Even if Li-er has justice in her heart, standing up bravely for the truth, she was very meticulous towards Xue Huaiyuan. In the past, she had no relationship with Xue Huaiyuan, why is she so concerned towards a stranger? Could her eyes truly be bewildered by an evil spirit, that’s why she did something that made people hard to understand?”

When these words came out, Jiang Yuan Bai’s gaze turned stern. This was also Jiang Yuan Bai’s sore point, a stone in his heart. Jiang Li was more filial towards Xue Huaiyuan than towards him, her father. It had made Jiang Yuan Bai swallow a bellyful of anger since early on. If it were not because Xue Huaiyuan was currently a madman, Jiang Yuan Bai truly wanted to clearly find out what was happening.

But Jiang Li could not say it, she had no way to say it.

So in everyone’s eyes, she had exhausted her ability and tacitly agreed to the fact that she was plagued by evil.

“Actually, who is willing to toss a child like this?” Ji Shuran said again, “but if Li-er really has something wrong and harms the Jiang family in the future, harm the people in the residence up and down, plus the younger generation….. It is not a good thing.”

As soon as she heard ‘harms the Jiang family’, old madam Jiang was somewhat moved. She asked Taoist priest Chong Xu, “From Taoist priest perspective, how is the evil driven out? Supposed the evil is driven out from my granddaughter, will it injure her?”

Even if old madam Jiang was concerned about Jiang Li, in her heart, Jiang Li shook her head, feeling sympathy towards Jiang second miss. Once it was approved that Jiang Li was affected with evil spirits, that was, to tacitly agree to walk down this road that Ji Shuran had designed for Jiang Li, the end would naturally not be a good place. However, for the Jiang family, old madam Jiang did not contend for her, in the end, she did not believe her.

If it was the genuine Jiang second miss, she would certainly be deeply hurt.

“It won’t.” Taoist priest Chong Xu said, “Just, after driving out evils, the second miss must be kept in a pure land of Buddhism for some time and can’t meet anyone. Although the evil spirit cannot be seen now, after exorcism, illness will remain on the second miss’s body, such as weakness. It has to be carefully raised.”

Jiang Li understood, go to Buddhism? Repeating the act of going to Mount Qingcheng many years ago? In poor health, if this happened, then wasted away day by day in the land of Buddhism, and finally it’s natural to die silently from a grave illness? Then it becomes an exceptionally good excuse? Jiang Li believed she just barely left and the next moment, Ji Shuran would find ways to reveal this matter and caused a big scandal. At that time, she no longer needed to return to Yanjing, just quietly wait for her death in Mount Qingcheng.

In order to conceal the truth of the matter, the Jiang family would fabricate a reason, for instance, dying of illness. Her life would be like Ye Zhen Zhen, also like her previous life, dying dubiously.

Because Ji Shuran knew that she could not attack her in Yanjing, and an ordinary charge would not suffice for Jiang Yuan Bai to take her life. In the name of exorcism, driving her away from the residence, away from heaven and earth, it’s easiest to start on her.

She thought very solidly.

“Second girl,” old madam Jiang asked, “since there’s nothing serious, just let Taoist priest Chong Xu drive out evils for you, okay?”

Jiang Li nodded, turned towards Jiang Yuan Bai and asked, “Does father also agree?”

Jiang Yuan Bai fixed his gaze at Jiang Li. He did not completely trust Taoist priest Chong Xu, but Jiang Li’s strangeness did not make sense. He indeed felt that Jiang Li had become a stranger, even the tiniest blood connection now seemed to disappear.

He hardened his heart and said, “It won’t harm you, just go.”
