Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 138 Part 3: Divine Doctor

Aunt Hu was probably scared. Ever since Jiang Yue’s death that year, she kept on waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. For so many years, she had become a hysterical madman, unable to do anything. On the other hand, Ji Shuran had a complete pair of boy and girl, and had steadily become the mistress of the household. If this went on, it would make people feel that a good person did not last for a long time, while a scourge lived for a millennium.

Ji Shuran was cunning, and the Ji family still had Ji Yan Lin. If Concubine Li wanted to save her, perhaps they could look for a way for Ji Shuran to survive. Therefore, Aunt Hu decided to turn her death into the final straw that would crush Ji Shuran to death. Aunt Hu and Jiang Yue’s death would no longer make Jiang Yuan Bai able to get over. And the last letter that she wrote to Jiang Yuan Bai should be nothing more than to make Ji Shuran die even quicker.

Although she lived her whole life as a concubine, she did not have any of the tricks used in the backyard. Instead, she made her daughter become a victim. Perhaps this was her first and also the last in her lifetime that she used scheming and strategy to sing the most perfect song in this backyard stage.

Jiang Li couldn’t tell what the feeling was. Originally, Aunt Hu knew clearly that Ye Zhen Zhen was harmed by Ji Shuran, yet she chose to put her own safety before principles and did not say anything. If she had said something at the beginning and made people see Ji Shuran’s true appearance from early on, Jiang Yue would not have been put into this kind of danger.

However, there was no regret medicine on this earth.

“Bao Qin, who was beside Aunt Hu, said in the evening before Aunt Hu left, Aunt Hu wanted Bao Qin to thank miss properly. Miss’s great favor will definitely be returned in her next life.” Bai Xue said.

“People push what they can’t do to the next life.” Jiang Li smiled bitterly, “In the next life, you have to bear the debt of this life, how hard ah.”

She recalled what she said to Ji Heng, every time, it was also to repay him in the next life. How similar was it to Aunt Hu?

It’s just, when she thought of Aunt Hu, Jiang Li still felt uncomfortable.

She sighed, right at this moment, the doors were pushed open and Tong’er walked in from outside.

Seeing Jiang Li sitting up and chatting with Bai Xue, Tong’er nearly jumped in delight. In an instant, she ran and stopped before Jiang Li and said, “Miss, you are awake, you’ve scared this slave to death….. Next time, whatever miss wants to do, you have to give instructions to this slave. This slave couldn’t sleep a wink last night, afraid that miss would meet with mishap…..”

Jiang Li smiled and touched her head, “It’s fine. Besides, I’m a person possessed by ghosts, aren’t you afraid?”

“Not afraid.” Tong’er replied boldly and forcefully. “Even if there’s a ghost that want to take lives, the ghost would only harm those evil people. Miss is such a good person, the ghosts also possessed your body wanting to right the wrongs through you. By doing this, miss is actually accumulating virtue.”

It was originally an ominous thing, but this little servant girl made it sound like a good thing. Jiang Li did not know whether to laugh or cry, she only said, “All the good things are already spoken by you.”

“It’s true.” Tong’er said, “As the saying goes, it’s not that there is no retribution, it’s just that the time has not come yet. Isn’t now time for Ji-shi to settle her debt? Heard that this time, the old madam wants to punish Ji-shi severely. The Ji family’s people came asking for the person, but the old madam did not release the person and even exposed all Ji-shi’s deeds in front of those people. At the beginning, the Ji family members were not convinced, then Master said that he wanted to let people investigate thoroughly, if he couldn’t do it, then he would report it to the authorities. Today, let him be a person who places righteousness before family. When the Ji family members heard that Master wanted to report to the authorities, they no longer mentioned taking Ji-shi back and left dejectedly.” Tong’er patted her chest. “Miss was still asleep then and did not see, but this slave saw it personally. It was really gratifying!”

“How could the Ji family still have the face to come out.” Bai Xue felt contempt. “Having harmed so many people but still wanted to take Ji-shi home, treating things as if they did not happen? If something like this happens in ordinary people’s homes, she has to pay with her life.”

“Precisely.” Tong’er said, “They really thought because they have someone in the palace, so the Ji family cannot be dealt with?”

Jiang Li looked at Tong’er, feeling there’s something behind her words. She asked, “What?”

“Even if someone from their home became an imperial concubine, this time, it’s hard to say whether she can protect herself.” Tong’er said, “Didn’t that annoying Taoist priest Chong Xu admit that he was a swindler in front of the people in the entire residence? Afterwards, he still wanted to run away, but our people found him later on, hiding in an inn in Yanjing, he didn’t make it out of the city. Master tied him up and brought him to face the emperor before sending him to the Jing Zhao Yin. Not sure what Master talked about with the emperor. This slave reckoned, such a big matter, this Taoist priest Chong Xu also has the guilt of deceiving the monarch, so Master definitely would not help to conceal this. If the emperor knew someone had deceived him, he would definitely get angry. Concubine Li also cannot avoid getting implicated. After all, he had saved Concubine Li’s life twice.”

Tong’er spoke mockingly, all the people in the room could hear the ridicule in her voice. Jiang Li poked her head, “You are so mischievous.”

“In short, this time they are stealing a chicken only to lose the rice¹. Old madam still doesn’t know how to handle Ji-shi, but miss may know. Jiang You Yao really made people sick. Jiang Bing Ji still pleads for leniency for Ji-shi, but the third miss did not take a look at Ji-shi all along. Don’t mention looking, she refused even mentioning a sentence. As if mentioning Ji-shi’s name would dirty her mouth. Even though Ji-shi is malicious, she was good to the third miss. This is a biological mother and daughter but has so little affection, not as good as outsiders.”

Jiang Li’s smile was indifferent, “Ji Shuran usually treats people indifferently, Jiang You Yao was influenced by her, so naturally she was raised with the temperament of having no regard for others. Jiang You Yao doing so was solely because of Ji Shuran’s guidance. It’s not unexpected.”

Tong’er pursed her lips, thinking of something. Then she asked Jiang Li, “Miss thinks, how will they deal with Ji-shi this time?”

“Adultery, harming the womenfolk, harming the heir, framing the di daughter, no matter which one is taken out, Ji Shuran has no other way out. As a result,” Jiang Li lowered her eyes, “it should be time to pay with her life.”

Tong’er and Bai Xue were silent.

Merry Christmas!!! Wishing all of you joy and peace this season. It’s time to spend with families and reflect on our journey this year. Thank you very much for all your support!!!
