Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 107: Homecoming

"I want to go to Tongxiang."

Ye Ming Yu was stunned.

Jiang Li's eyes were firm. She's thought it through, no matter what, learning that her father was in prison and suffering hardship, she felt unbearable if she rescued him even a moment later. Moreover, now that she's at the Ye residence, she, as a big living person, could not suddenly disappear without any reason. No matter how, she had to tell the Ye family members. Otherwise, old madam Ye would be worried.

Just, looking for a flawless excuse was too difficult. As Jiang second miss, it should be the "first" time she came to Xiangyang, much less talking about Tongxiang. For her, Tongxiang should be an unfamiliar place and should not have heard about it. There's no need to mention whether there were any distant relatives and close friends, however people looked, the lies were full of holes.

Sure enough, after hearing her request, Ye Ming Yu immediately asked in surprise, "What are you doing in Tongxiang?"

"Not hiding from uncle, this is a long story. I was trusted by an old friend to resolve her worries. Her beloved is in Tongxiang, knowing that I'm going to Xiangyang, she asked whether I can help her bring a word. These few days, something happened in the Ye family and I forgot about this. Now things are approximately settled and I remember this, therefore I'm planning to go to Tongxiang to look for my old friend's beloved."

After saying this, Jiang Li also felt awkward. In her lifetime, she had never said such a lame lie. However, she really couldn't think of a better excuse.

Ye Ming Yu stared at Jiang Li for a while. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Ah Li, if you have something that's hard and not convenient to mention, there's no need to rack your brain to look for such an excuse. Even I can see through it."

Jiang Li's cheeks were slightly red. Even though Ye Ming Yu was a straightforward person, he wasn't a fool. If he were, how could he still survive fighting in the rivers and lakes until now? He would have been hindered long ago and wouldn't know where he would get up.

"Ah Li, I know sometimes there are things that are hard to say to other people, even to close relatives. It's okay, I will not force you to say it. I'm different from my eldest and second brothers. We, the people of the rivers and lakes, will not force people to do something. Wait until you are ready to talk about it, naturally you will say it. If you can't talk about it, there must be a reason why you can't. Though I don't know what you are going to do in Tongxiang, since you are a girl with ideas, you will not act arbitrarily."

Ye Ming Yu paused before saying, "but your reason just now won't work in front of my eldest brother and second brother. Especially my second brother, his cleverness is no less than yours. Even I don't buy your excuse, how is it going to deceive him?"

What Ye Ming Yu said was right, the Ye family's Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan, perhaps because they did business, they were not easy to deceive.

Jiang Li sighed slightly in her heart.

She really did not wish to deceive others, but some things really could not be said.

Looking at Jiang Li's embarrassed appearance, Ye Ming Yu suddenly patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm your uncle, I naturally will care about your matters. Leave this matter about your going to Tongxiang to me. I've thought of a way to convince mother and older brothers, that is, you are going together with me!"

"Going with you?" Jiang Li was surprised.

"Of course! Is it possible for a little girl to go to an unfamiliar place by yourself? Even if you have huge courage, our family members will not feel assured! Or else, you choose between eldest brother, second brother and me, who do you want to accompany you!"
