Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 100: Outer Room

Jiang Li left the teahouse and returned to Li Zheng Tang. She did not tell Ye Jia Er that she went to see Duke Su. For the people of Xiangyang, Duke Su, this name, was too distant. There were just too few people who had personally seen him. If Ji Heng was walking on the main street, others would only be amazed that there's actually such a beautiful man under the heavens, but they would not think that his identity was so.

Moreover, Ji Heng's appearance would make the entire matter more complicated. Before understanding the whole sequence thoroughly, Jiang Li did not plan to inform the Ye family. Even if she were to inform the Ye family, she would wait until Ye Ming Xuan and Ye Ming Hui, the two brothers, to return and discuss it carefully.

It was close to nightfall when people who came to exchange the ancient fragrant satin with silver had been settled one by one. Jiang Li and the others returned to the Ye residence, Guan-shi almost arrived and Zhuo-shi found out that Li Zheng Tang was alright and let out a breath of relief. However, Ye Ming Yu might not be able to return together.

"Old three is impulsive, when I went there, he already burst into the government office main hall. I heard people say that he shouted, wanting to meet Magistrate Tong and was arrested by the officials in the office. There were many officials and old three was not a match for them. I wanted to see Magistrate Tong to appeal but even the person could not be seen. The gatekeeper told me, want to meet people, I must at least prepare silver. I went out in a hurry, how could I bring any bank notes. There's no way but to first take the bank notes and go there tomorrow. Hopefully old three did not suffer much hardship."

"Still want bank notes?" Ye Ru Feng said hatefully: "These dog officials!"

Jiang Li was no longer surprised by this, not everyone had clean hands like Xue Huai Yuan. The smaller the official was, the more benefit they enjoyed using their power. Otherwise, how could there be the saying "A clean magistrate for three years, 10,000 snowflakes of silver".

"This is the way of the world," Zhuo-shi sighed, "let's gather it, in any case, we cannot leave old three alone."

"That's true," Ye Jia Er also said: "thankfully what they want is silver, this is still easy to do."

"Jia Er, you do not know." Guan-shi sighed, "This time, the Ye family already suffered losses from the matter of the ancient fragrant satin. Those ready-made clothes stopped doing business with us, then there's also the damage that cannot be calculated. People's hearts are greedy, what we are afraid of are these people who can never be satisfied, the demand limitless, treating our Ye family as a silver warehouse. If this mouth is opened..... if we want your eldest uncle and father to come out, it will need a lot of effort."

The Ye family was an expert in business and they were clear about the greed in people's hearts. As long as Tong Zhi Yang had tasted the sweetness through the Ye family, one Ye Ming Yu could be redeemed with a large amount of silver. As for Ye Ming Xuan and Ye Ming Hui, afraid it's impossible to let go without injuring the strength of the Ye family.

The Ye family was like a piece of fat. Tong Zhi Yang had been staring at it for so long, finally found the chance to start, how would he let the duck in his mouth fly away?

Jiang Li smiled: "Really no need to be so anxious."

Everyone in the room looked at her.

Everyone knew Li Zheng Tang was finally safe and sound today thanks to Jiang Li standing up to speak. Although she was younger than Ye Jia Er and never managed a business, looking at her manner, she was more attentive than all the people present at the moment.
