Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 122 Part 3: Fuma

She wished Shen Yurong could stay overnight, but Shen Yurong was unwilling. He said that with identity now, there were many people who fixed their attention on him and wanted to hold a handle on him. It would be troublesome if his wrongdoing was grasped.

Princess Yongning dropped the subject, thinking that since Shen Yurong had agreed anyway, soon she would become his legitimate wife, firmly holding Shen Yurong. She even thought that this short separation was still bearable.

Shen Yurong walked out of the princess mansion, through the streets, and directly returned to the Shen residence.

The top scorer’s residence was dazzling, looking brand new just like when the emperor first bestowed it. The gatekeeper saluted him, when Shen Yurong walked into the courtyard, he stopped by the flowerbed.

The gentle smile that’s always on his face suddenly cracked and he bent down, as if something made him disgusted and he vomited.

His head was dizzy and his chest felt heavy, then he seemed to see a pair of legs. He followed the legs up to see that it was his most familiar pillow person.

The woman’s complexion was remarkably beautiful, capable of causing the downfall of a city. She did not say a word, merely looked at him quietly, just like in the past, without any change. However, in that pair of cold eyes, Shen Yurong could see the satire.

The same mocking gaze when he looked at Princess Yongning.

He reached out to touch the vague shadow. The shadow immediately scattered.

Mother Shen’s voice rang out, “Yurong, what are you doing?”

Shen Yurong shook, stood up straight, and said lightly, “Nothing.” Then he returned to his room.

It’s okay, to get some things, you must lose some things. He has lost some things, although it makes people feel sad occasionally, he still obtains much more.

He finally changed his fate and was no longer that poor scholar that everyone looked down on.

A life that’s completely different from the past had just begun.

……

Ten days after Jiang Li left Tongxiang, the letter that she was returning to Yanjing finally arrived in Jiang Yuan Bai’s hand.

It’s not just a letter about returning to the capital, there was still the rumor abuzz in Yanjing, a rumor saying that the second miss of the Jiang family made a huge noise for the sake of a guilty official in Tongxiang, Xiangyang. She also brought villagers to the capital to file a lawsuit.

This matter caused a huge wave in Yanjing as there had never been such bizarre matter occurring in the capital. A government official’s noble daughter, without any rhyme or reason, went back to the countryside to visit her natal family and was involved in a guilty official’s case. It’s fine if it stopped there, she still brought villagers to enter the capital. Could she be thinking of being a fair and incorruptible official, to enter the court and become an official?

His colleagues in court looked at Jiang Yuan Bai in a strange way. Someone from the Cheng Wang faction who did not get along well with Jiang Yuan Bai even said deliberately to him, “Really, a tiger father will not have a dog daughter! Your daughter quite has your manner, intervening when one sees an injustice. This is holding up righteousness, justice!”

The noble ladies felt that Jiang Li was too meddlesome. Doing so much was nothing but to seek fame and to make others pay attention to her. Making so many tricks, all day long running outside to show her face, really losing the face of noble ladies and taking things too far. Thankfully she was not their sister, otherwise, their reputation would be ruined.

However, the common people were more curious about Jiang Li’s past performances. That time, the scene of Jiang Li’s examination was boundless and her name had spread far among the people. This time, it involved the case of a guilty official. No matter how you looked at it, it’s a good drama.The people were itching to see what Jiang Li actually wanted to do, nearly becoming a happy thing in Yanjing. Everyone anxiously waited, waiting for the day when Jiang Li would return to Yanjing and what kind of nice surprise she would bring to them.

Regardless of what others thought, Jiang Yuan Bai was furious. Jiang Li and Ye Ming Xuan returned to the countryside to visit old madam Ye, how did such a huge disaster come out? Unexpectedly, he did not put this on Jiang Li’s head. After all, Jiang Li and Xue Huai Yuan had no relationship to mention, so naturally, there was no justification of her involvement in this case. Jiang Yuan Bai suspected that this matter stemmed from the Ye family. It was most likely that the Ye family borrowed Jiang Li’s hand to interfere in this case.

The matter about the Ye family’s ancient fragrant satin was not mentioned. The head of the Weaving Room Unit would bring the matter up to him tactfully later. Jiang Yuan Bai knew that Jiang Li used his name to make the Weaving Room Unit handle things, but it did not matter. No matter what, the Ye family still had an in-laws relationship with him. In Xiangyang, Jiang Li helping the Ye family out of troubles had no effect on the Jiang family. Even if she offended one or two people, he, as the magnificent chief assistant, was still not afraid of anyone.

But it’s different with the Xue family’s case. Leaving aside the situation where Jiang Li had caused an uproar before she returned, even if Xue Huai Yuan was an honest and upright official, he was ultimately harmed to this point. Naturally, Feng Yu Tang had a backing for him to dare to be such a tyrant in Tongxiang. Jiang Yuan Bai already heard the talk that a Yanjing noble person was involved in Xue Huai Yuan’s case.

Jiang Yuan Bai did not know who this noble person was. If it was before, he might not necessarily be afraid of the consequences. However, nowadays Cheng Wang and the Right Minister watched the Jiang family like a prey. In case the Jiang family’s handle was grasped, his enemies would certainly hit him when he’s down. At the moment, Jiang Yuan Bai ‘seeked stability’, therefore he did not wish for any incident to occur.

Once Jiang Li returned, he would forbid Jiang Li to go out, let her stay properly in the residence to reflect so she would know, with her identity as the Jiang family member, she could not act recklessly without taking care of her family’s reputation. It’s better to cut her involvement with the Xue family’s case and let those people leave.

In Shu Xiu Garden.

Jiang You Yao had one foot inside the room, without even closing the door, she directly asked, “Mother, have you heard? Jiang Li, that cheap person, is coming back!”

On the day Jiang Li departed, Jiang Yu’e became a concubine and was lifted into Zhou Yan Bang’s official residence. Jiang Yu’e left hurriedly, perhaps because she was afraid if she stayed in the Jiang residence, Jiang You Yao would make things difficult for her. So soon after Jiang Li left, she entered the Zhou residence.

Shen Ruyun would marry into the Zhou family at the beginning of spring this year.

In the entire Jiang residence, the misses who remained were Jiang You Yao and Jiang Yuyan. Jiang Yuyan was timid and cowardly, without Jiang Yu’e present, she almost did not want to come out from the third branch’s courtyard. But even if she did not have such a cowardly temper, Jiang You Yao also found it beneath her to hang out with a concubine’s daughter.
