Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 99: Resolve

Jiang Li stood calmly at Li Zheng Tang's entrance.

When the words "Chief Assistant Jiang's di daughter" came out, the crowd suddenly fell into silence for a period of time.

After all, Xiangyang wasn't Yanjing, the capital city. The people in the distant Xiangyang, upon hearing that there's someone who became an official in Yanjing, were already full of admiration. Not to mention the scholarly chief assistant. At this moment, the people recalled the little daughter, Ye Zhen Zhen from the Ye family many years ago. Wasn't she the one married to the present chief assistant, Jiang Yuan Bai? It's just that afterwards, Ye Zhen Zhen passed away and the Ye family and the Jiang family did not have any contact with each other for over ten years. Thus the people in Xiangyang gradually tossed this thing into the back of their heads.

Now, Jiang Li took the initiative to mention her identity. Thinking how Ye Jia Er called Jiang Li with "younger sister", in addition, looking at Jiang Li's attire and manners that was not like a small family's young lady, the common people who were causing disturbances believed seven points.

"Even if you are the young lady from the Jiang family, you must not take advantage of your position and bully people!" A male with a long, thin face said among the crowd. After saying this sentence, he immediately hid behind a robust man, seemingly wanting to conceal his face.

"Yes, how can you use your position to bully people!"

"The Jiang family wants to protect their in-laws, the Ye family. The government officials are colluding with the merchants!"

The words of the long, thin faced man immediately set the crowd on fire again. Ye Jia Er looked at Jiang Li with worry. There's nothing they could do if something happened to the Ye family, but the people linked the Ye family and the Jiang family together, and also splashed dirty water onto the Jiang family. Jiang Yuan Bai was an important official in Yanjing, if troubles were incurred, how would this be okay.

Ye Ru Feng also knitted his brows tightly.

Jiang Li didn't move, merely standing in her original place with a smile plastered on her face. She didn't immediately retorted in anger, neither did she treat the words in agreement and lost her head out of fear. Her smile was as flat as water, her gaze gentle and soft, but there seemed to be an invisible dignity which made the people quieted down unconsciously when they met her eyes.

The crowd gradually calmed down.

Only then did Jiang Li open her mouth to speak. She said: "Our Jiang family, even towards our own daughter, was not lenient. My father is most clear and most just, how would he speak to cover up?"

Everyone then recalled, how many years ago, this noble daughter was sent to the nunnery for harming her mother and murdering her younger brother. So to speak, Jiang Yan Bai indeed was not a person who would shield his close relatives.

However, she just reminded others about her own misdeeds, was this really okay?

Ye Jia Er and Ye Ru Feng looked at each other, each of them was somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Li definitely did not care how other people looked at her. She merely asked: "Dare to ask everyone, how did all of you find out that there's a problem with the ancient fragrant satin?"

"All the ready-made clothes shops say so!" A madam who was at the frontmost replied: "Now the entire Xiangyang already knows that Magistrate Tong brought the Ye family's eldest master to the government official to try the case!"

Try the case?

Jiang Li smiled sarcastically in her mind. As it turns out, this was their intention. Her thoughts became clearer and the smile on her face became more sincere. She just said: "I am not aware, since when does the government official take care of matters involving weaving."
