Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 137 Part 1: Uncover

The sudden sound of the girl’s weeping made the people in the garden jump in fright. Those servant girls with smaller courage directly cry.

Jiang Li hung her head, as if she had lost all strength, but her body was still upright.

This still stance also scared Taoist priest Chong Xu. There’s nothing like this in his act. Usually, the confused medicine in the glutinous rice would make people temporarily lose their rationality. As long as Jiang Li maintained this appearance, which was scary enough, all the incomprehensible things she did can be interpreted as “running into ghosts”.

Taoist priest Chong Xu had used this trick countless times and it had gone smoothly many times, never failing even once. As for what to do next, he also knew it clearly. But Jiang Li’s action of standing still today was not in his plan.

Before he could react, the girl’s voice grew even louder and burst out, almost ear-piercing.

“Wuwu—–wuwu”, adding the black clouds in the sky and the burning candles and joss sticks on the altar, the situation was especially strange.

Ji Shuran hugged Jiang You Yao tightly; Jiang You Yao was already so frightened that she drilled into her embrace. She was a little bit scared just now, but at this moment, Ji Shuran was not afraid. Thinking that Jiang Li was about to be treated as a demon next and everyone would abandon her like a worn out shoe, it was too late for her to be happy. She lamented in her heart, Taoist priest’s skill in scaring people was still as good as before. No wonder he dared to enter the palace and did not have stage fright in front of the emperor. Her eldest sister had such a hard to find skilled person.

With her thoughts, she soon looked at Taoist priest Chong Xu. Who would have known that she would see him did not make any actions. On the contrary, he seemed to be stunned in place, staring at Jiang Li, and even took a step back.

Ji Shuran frowned. Although it had been explained to make it as realistic as possible, but as a skilled person, at this time, shouldn’t he appear vigorous and step forward bravely in an upright manner? This time Taoist priest Chong Xu’s act was not good.

She looked at Jiang Li again, the wind was blowing her hair and she walked staggeringly. It was not known where she was going, her steps were swaying from side to side. The Jiang family members did not dare to come close, only the few servant girls from Fang Fei Garden dared to. Qing Feng and Ming Yue were frightened and couldn’t move their hands and feet. But Tong’er actually chased her, and Bai Xue urgently calling out, “Miss!”

Jiang Li did not tell them the whole plan after all. Although Bai Xue and the others spoke according to what was prepared before, they did not know how it would develop. They were immediately in a panic looking at Jiang Li like this at this time. Bai Xue said, “Our miss is not a ghost, absolutely not! On this earth, there is no second person with a heart as good as our miss, how can she be an evil spirit!”

“Exactly! It must be this Taoist priest that made some tricks!” Tong’er’s mind moved, “how did you harm our miss to appear like this!”

Ji Shuran said to old madam Jiang, “Mother, Li-er has a gentle temper, raising the servant girls in Fang Fei Garden to not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Taoist priest Chong Xu is someone trusted by the emperor, not mentioning servant girls, even us as the masters do not dare to rashly comment. If the words spoken by these two servant girls got out, maybe it will be said that our Jiang family does not take the prestige of the imperial household in our eyes…..”

Old madam Jiang shook her head, “Second girl is really spoiling the servant girls too much, dare to be so impudent in front of the master.”

“No, old madam!” Tong’er wept and knelt in front of old madam Jiang, “It doesn’t matter what happens to this servant, but miss is really wronged. You have to believe her!”

“Really have no rules.” Ji Shuran said with disappointment, “Nanny, take these two servant girls down. Li-er cannot bear to instruct them, as the mother, I have to do it on her behalf.”

Qing Feng and Ming Yue’s eyelids jumped fiercely. Their young lady just met with mishap and Ji Shuran was eager to break the people by the young lady’s side? This is too much!

Old madam Jiang also glanced at Ji Shuran furtively. She didn’t know why, before Jiang Li returned to the residence, this madam from the main branch rarely made mistakes and looked able, virtuous, and kind. But ever since Jiang Li returned, she became increasingly agitated, even she could not stand it.

“Okay, it’s not the time to be in a hurry to instruct the servant girls.” Old madam Jiang said, “Talk again after the second girl’s matter is done.”

Lu-shi said, “Taoist priest, please make her quickly….. Quickly stop crying!” Her voice was shrill, she was really afraid.

The girl’s voice became clearer. In the beginning it was just muffled weeping, gradually, there seemed to be words in the cries. Afterwards, the dust seemed to clear, exposing the brick inside. The voice gradually reverberated.

“Dad!”

The girl’s voice was calling dad.

Jiang Yuan Bai was stunned. When hearing the calling sound of ‘dad’, an oddly familiar feeling emerged in his heart. This familiar feeling made him face Jiang Li without any fear. Instead, he took two steps towards Jiang Li.

Jiang Li’s head was lowered, the girl’s weeping seemed to come from her mouth, but also seemed close to everyone’s ears. However, there’s no doubt that Jiang Li’s voice was certainly not like this. No matter whether it was the young Jiang Li or the current Jiang Li, this was not Jiang Li’s voice. It was clearly someone else’s voice.

Taoist priest Chong Xu couldn’t help taking two steps back. The complacency when he made his movements had long gone. He had never met these kinds of circumstances. At this moment, he panicked, his path unknown, speech unclear, he had to force himself to calm down.

Aunt Hu, who was among the crowd, cried out suddenly. She stood in the corner and her shout caused a few people to look towards her. When they looked over, they saw Aunt Hu running staggeringly towards Jiang Li. When she reached Jiang Li, as if she did not dare to approach her, but she laughed and cried while saying, “Yue-er, my Yue-er…..”

Yue’er? Who is Yue’er?

This name was too unfamiliar, and anyone who heard it was puzzled.
