Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 94: Brothel

Unlike the entanglement of the Ye family, Jiang Li's days passed easily. At least, from the Ye family servants' views, this Jiang second miss was completely relaxed, as if it wasn't the first time that she stayed at the Ye family's house. The Ye family servants that were assigned to wait upon Jiang Li were all aware of this Jiang second miss's past deeds. No need to mention how many years ago she disdained having a maternal grandmother who came from the merchant class , afterwards, she still harmed her mother and murdered her younger brother and was sent to the nunnery to cultivate herself.

They originally thought they would meet with a malicious, ill-mannered, extremely difficult to serve arrogant and willful eldest miss. Who would expect that the person who came was exceedingly easy to wait upon. She didn't have any excessive requests, and as long as Tong'er and Baixue could do them, Jiang Li didn't bother the Ye family servants. If Jiang Li was to be considered a guest of the Ye family, then this guest was certainly the easiest guest to serve.

Each and everyone of the servants was relieved. After a few days, they gradually became acquainted with Tong'er and Bai Xue. Tong'er was lively, often giving light refreshments to share with the servant girls to eat together. Bai Xue was even more approachable since she was born on farmland. The servant girls' courage grew and they would chat and exchange gossip with Tong'er and Bai Xue.

However, though it was like this, even after five to six days, the Ye family remained motionless and did not mention anything about Jiang Li meeting with old madam Ye.

When Tong'er brought this up with Jiang Li, she was quite dissatisfied and said: "What does the Ye family actually mean? It's been said that miss is coming to visit the old madam, but these days, not even a single word was mentioned. Really making people anxious."

The Ye family didn't take the initiative to mention it and it wasn't good for Jiang Li to inquire.

"You are on good terms with those servant girls, did you find anything out?" Jiang Li asked with a smile. Compared with Tong'er she wasn't in a hurry with this matter. She wasn't the genuine Jiang second miss, for her, old madam Ye was just a grandmother in name only. But when really talking about sentiments, it indeed wouldn't be very deep. It would be too deliberate if she assumed a sentimental look. Now, since she had arrived in Xiangyang and lived in the Ye family, her first step could be considered a success, it's already very smooth.

Tong'er shook her head: "I heard from the servant girls in the courtyard that old madam Ye's health is not very good and since a few years ago, it's difficult for her to get out of bed. The physicians said that she must fully relax and recuperate." She spoke up to here then sighed and continued: "Maybe we shouldn't blame the Ye family, supposed that the old madam truly cannot stand any stimulation, then this is not the time to let miss meet with the old madam." She recalled something and said: "Heard that the old madam's health is not good and third master Ye who is currently traveling outside is also rushing back to Xiangyang. Perhaps he will arrive within the next few days."

Old madam Ye had three sons and a daughter. Ye Ming Hui was the first son and Ye Ming Xuan was the second son. This third master Ye, Ye Ming Yu and Ye Zhen Zhen were twins, born at the same time. Ye Zhen Zhen was pure and simple, but Ye Ming Yu's temper did not follow convention since childhood. From a young age, he was fond of traveling extensively and acted like a warrior. After he ran into a stonewall while in the rivers and lakes, he decided to return home and do business. But even in business, Ye Ming Yu insisted on being unconventional. Every year he would follow the sea caravan out on the ships, going to remote and foreign small towns along the way and spent silvers to purchase a few strange gadgets before selling them when he returned.
