Chapter 9.1: Love Affair
The crowd of madams and masters standing behind Madam Liu had been startled by Madam Liu’s earlier baffling words. This Jiang second miss was the poisonous di daughter of the first wife. Even though she looked pitiful, if they were to openly help her, they would be standing opposite Ji Shu Ran. These days, the Vice Imperial Censor Ji was a trusted man of the Emperor Hong Xiao. Also, the family matters of the Chief Assistant were not sothing that anyone could manage. Therefore, everyone was just planning to watch without lifting a finger.
Who would have imagined that Jiang second young miss rely greeted Madam Liu with a few words and afterwards Madam Liu imdiately proposed for her to return to Yanjing together? To everyone’s surprise, Madam Liu didn’t hesitate to offend the Ji family to give face to this unfamiliar young lady.
What made everyone even more surprised was, this Jiang second miss still declined.
Everyone was astonished upon hearing Jiang Lî’s answer. In her heart, Tong’er was also anxious. Madam Liu faced her to enquire: “Jiang second young miss, what is the reason?”
Jing Li replied with a smile: “Father sent to the family temple to let grow and cultivate moral character. Although it was hard, but I am able to pray for the family’s peace and health. If I give up halfway, it would be a blasphemy to the Bodhisattva. Moreover, father has not yet allowed to go back. How could I just act on my own initiative?”
In her reasoning, she didn’t bring out the matter of being punished for harming her di mother at all. She only ntioned her being sent here to cultivate her moral character and to ask for good fortune for her whole family. This made the people who heard her feel that this Jiang second young miss avoided the major charges while admitting to the more trivial matters. However, in Madam Liu’s ears, there seed to be another aning.

Madam Liu and Ye Zhen Zhen had been good friends for a few years. She knew Ye Zhen Zhen as simple, honest and benevolent. Naturally, she did not believe that Ye Zhen Zhen’s daughter was that malicious. However, at the ti when Jiang Lî had the accident, Madam Liu and the Jiang family had not been in contact for a few years already. Also, the accident where Ji Shu Ran was pushed over and miscarried happened in the presence of many madams. The evidence was conclusive. Although Madam Liu did not believe, there was no other way to co out of it.
Now, seeing how her forr acquaintance’s daughter was being bullied here, and also seeing how she was warm, soft, simple and benevolent, suspicions grew in Madam Liu’s heart. Jiang Lî not ntioning the matter of her mistake, perhaps it was because originally, she didn’t make any mistakes. Harming the di mother was just an excuse. It was deliberately made up so that people would believe it as she sent this daughter out to be tornted.
Listening to Jiang Lî’s final words, everything was to listen and obey Jiang Yuan Bai. However, one was afraid Jiang Yuan Bai had never thought of this daughter!
A fire rose inside Madam Liu’s heart, but she saw Jiang Lî raising her head to see her and sowhat hesitatingly said: “Talking about it, don’t know why Madam co here at this ti? Furthermore, these.......” She saw the crowd behind Madam Liu and asked: “Could it be that you ca here to light incense? Normally, there are not many people who co here to light incense, they usually go to He Lin Temple that is on the other side. Also, it’s already very late now, madams and gentlen, you couldn’t be here to light incense, right?”
When these words ca out, everyone present had different expressions on their faces. Suddenly Madam Liu thought of sothing, looking thoughtful for a mont then she abruptly asked Jiang Lî: “This family temple is not a very good family temple. Since your father sent you here, he should have looked for a decent family temple. Never mind, since you are not willing to leave with , tomorrow I will set my trip to go back to Yanjing. But I think, your father should quickly pick and bring you back ho.”
The aning in her words was quite obvious.
Jiang Lî looked as if she understood but at the sa ti didn’t. She rely smiled and replied: “Then I have to thank madam.”
Madam Liu spoke once again: “Actually, you don’t have to be this devout. In the middle of the night kneeling in the hall, justice is at people’s heart. If the heart has sincerity, Buddha naturally will know. Yu Xiang,” she called the servant girl by her side, “stay here these few days and take good care of Jiang second young miss. There is only one servant girl by Jiang second young miss’s side, I fear it is not enough to look after her.” Then she turned her attention to Jiang Lî and continued, “Jiang second young miss doesn’t have to refuse. Your mother and I were good friends. Yu Xiang, this girl, is my personal servant girl. She knows a bit of martial arts. With her by your side, I will be a bit more assured. Wait until you return to Yanjing and then you can let Yu Xiang go back to my side.”
To go as far as to lend her close servant girl to Jiang Lî, it was clear that Madam Liu regarded Jiang Lî as important. It could be said that perhaps not too long in the future, Jiang Lî would be able to quickly return to the Jiang family in Yanjing and play her role as the Jiang family’s young miss.
