Chapter 34 Part 2: Two Birds
Xiang Qiao struggled as she was dragged down, and the guests who were watching felt a trace of coldness in their hearts. The rules in the Jiang residence were harsh, worthy of Jiang Yuan Bai. Even if he normally appeared good-natured, his methods were not trivial.
Yun Shuang got gooseb.u.mps on her back as she watched. She was vaguely aware that her taking advantage of the situation to set up Xiang Qiao was perhaps a huge mistake.
Jiang Li put her palms together in prayer and softly prayed “Amitabha Buddha”. Everyone looked at her, the center of the whirlpool of today’s matter, the eye of the wind that began the entire disturbance. At present, she slightly bowed her head as if she couldn’t bear the end of Xiang Qiao and appeared even more pure, simple and benevolent.
Old Madam Jiang looked complicatedly at Jiang Li and said to Ji Shuran: “Since Xiang Qiao is no longer by Li girl side, give her a new servant girl. Tomorrow the old servant in the house will bring some people in, let Li girl pick a few herself.”
Tong’er heard what was being said and her heart moved. She promptly opened her mouth and said with a crisp voice: “Replying to old madam, the servant girls for sweeping Fang Fei Garden were previously arranged by Xiang Qiao. Since Xiang Qiao, this person, has a problem in her morality and conduct, Old Madam please also let that group of people go and choose again. So that Fang Fei Garden can be clean inside and outside.”
Just a remark, but the indirectly mentioned Ji Shuran’s face grew even hotter, her heart angry. A small servant girl actually dared to criticize her. However, no matter how enraged she was, it wasn’t revealed on her face.
Old Madam Jiang said: “Handle it as you said.”
Ji Shuran hurriedly agreed and smiled at Jiang Li to say: “Previously mother was unclear, nearly made a big mistake. Let’s do it this way, return Yun Shuang to my side. Tomorrow Li’er can personally choose your close-fitting servant girl, does it sound good?”
Jiang Li showed a bit of regret: “Actually I think that Yun Shuang is very good, it’s better to let her continue staying by my side. But what mother said is reasonable, in that case, I will listen to mother.”
Listening to Jiang Li’s words, Yun Shuang was scared stiff. Jiang Li’s words simply pushed her into the fire pit! Ji Shuran was already suspicious of her, making her stay by her side was nothing more than for the purpose of torturing her. And it happened that Jiang Li still poured oil on the fire1 .
“Today we let everyone see a joke,” the way Old Madam Jiang handled this matter was good enough. In a low voice, she said: “My Jiang residence’s discipline towards the lower people was lacking, creating such a laughable matter and disturbing everyone’s mood. This old body will take the blame on behalf of Jiang residence.”
The guests didn’t dare to accept, Jiang Yuan Bai also spoke: “We will invite everyone to gather on another day.”
The people who came to observe the birthday ceremony today precisely wanted to see this good drama. However, there was little gain. Jiang You Yao, the original leading role, was even neglected by everyone.
Shen Ruyun and Mother Shen were led out by the Jiang family’s servants and Shen Ruyun couldn’t help commenting in a low voice: “I see that third miss is just so so, yet Jiang second miss is difficult to deal with. Only with a few words she could reverse the general situation, I’m afraid her mind is not shallow.”
Shen Ruyun hated Jiang You Yao because Jiang You Yao was Zhou Yan Bang’s fiancée. Today Jiang Li turned the situation around, on the surface it was as if punishing Xiang Qiao, but in truth it also was sweeping Ji Shuran’s face. It was also to take the light away from Jiang You Yao. Shen Ruyun was happy to see Jiang Li make Jiang You Yao lose her self-control. However, this did not mean that Shen Ruyun would like Jiang Li. In her words, if Jiang You Yao didn’t replace Jiang Li, Zhou Yan Bang’s fiancée at present should be Jiang Li.
They were all rivals in love, all equally annoying.
In the middle of speaking, suddenly a person shouted by her side: “Miss.” Shen Ruyun and Mother Shen turned their heads around to see two people walking towards their direction. The two people were the ones in the limelight just now, Jiang second miss and her servant girl, Tong’er.
Jiang second miss also saw them and her footsteps slowly came to a stop. She faced them and smiled while slightly nodding her head before pa.s.sing by.
Since originally they were not familiar, it couldn’t be considered lacking in manners.
Only at that moment, Shen Ruyun suddenly felt Jiang second miss’s style when she smiled and nodded her head was familiar.
Where have I seen it?
