Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 100 Part 3: Outer Room

Ye Ming Yu nodded and asked abruptly: “Ah Li, did you really write a letter to your father?”

In front of Li Zheng Tang, Jiang Li said that she had already told the matter happening in Xiangyang to her father and asked him to report this matter to the Weaving Unit so they could dispatch their staff. Ye Ming Yu hesitated for a while before continuing speaking: “Your father……. can really come out for this matter?”

In the Ye family’s eyes, it’s unlikely for Jiang Yuan Bai to come out for such a trivial matter. While in Jiang Li’s view, the reason why Jiang Yuan Bai would not come out was not necessarily because it was a trivial matter, rather because it involved the Right Prime Minister. Even though the Jiang family and the Li family were standing on opposite sites, for many years, they had been maintaining the balance of their relationship very carefully. If it was before, it’s not that Jiang Yuan Bai did not dare to directly empty the Li family. But now, there’s a Cheng Wang behind the Right Prime Minister. The Jiang family had to be even more careful when handling matters.

Jiang Yuan Bai definitely would not involve himself if he were to offend Cheng Wang for the Ye family.

Jiang Li shook her head: “No.”

The Ye family members looked at Jiang Li in surprise. Ye Jia Er asked: “Then, younger sister was bluffing magistrate Tong?”

“Not really.” Jiang Li said: “Although I didn’t write to my father, I wrote a letter to older cousin Ye.” Older cousin Ye is now an official in the Ministry of Revenue, the Weaving Unit will not dare to slight him. In addition, I informed older cousin Ye to use my father’s name to the maximum so the Weaving Unit will attach importance to the matter even more. I think, once the Weaving Unit receives the letter, they will immediately dispatch someone to Xiangyang.”

Nobody thought Jiang Li would say it like that. Ye Ru Feng asked uneasily: “Why would you let older brother use your father’s name?”

“During the palace feast, both older cousin and I received His Majesty’s awards. Others know that older cousin Ye and I are related. I noticed father quite appreciated older cousin Ye, so presumably father would not avoid out of taboo when colleagues inquire. Since the people in Yanjing all thought that older cousin Ye and father are on the same road, why not let them misunderstand til the end. Not using the available name, isn’t it a waste?”

This rightful attitude of hers produced a kind of complicated feeling, as if the person Jiang Li exploited was not her father, but a stranger.

“You are not afraid of bringing trouble to your father?” Ye Ru Feng asked, “You are acting on your own initiative, when you return to Yanjing, your father will not forgive you.”

“So what?” Jiang Li smiled slightly, “What’s done cannot be undone, could he still kill me?”

This kind of ‘dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, a vessel will naturally straighten upon reaching the end of a bridge’ stance truly made everyone in the Ye family speechless.

Yet, Jiang Li was clear in her heart, doing all these, apart from helping the Ye family, she wanted to sever the possibility of Cheng Wang and the Jiang family making an alliance. She wanted to make the crack between Jiang Yuan Bai and the Right Prime Minister unable to be repaired. If this happens, then she could create an opportunity.

As for how she would suffer Jiang Yuan Bai’s anger when she returned to Yanjing, it’s something to think about later. In order to deal with Yongning and Shen Yu Rong, she’s willing to pay any price.

Even if it’s her own life.

If there’s really someone behind Tong Zhi Yang, her appearance should already have disrupted his plan. He would inevitably write a letter requesting for help. But before that, Jiang Li had already written to Ye Shijie. Before Tong Zhi Yang received specific countermeasures to deal with the situation, in all likelihood, the people from the Weaving Unit would already have arrived in Xiangyang. Tong Zhi Yang would no longer be in charge of everything.

This time sequence was precisely the chance.

“That’s why, there’s no need to worry.” Jiang Li smiled: “I think, recently Tong Zhi Yang would not act blindly without thinking. In the meantime, those ancient fragrant satin that have been received must be kept properly by all means. There’s no problem with the ancient fragrant satin that I’m wearing , it can be clearly deduced that the recent ancient fragrant satin has problems, or perhaps it can be said that there’s a problem in Xiangyang. No matter how I thought about it, always feel that it’s not incidental. It can probably be investigated clearly when the people from the Weaving Unit have arrived.”

Ye Jia Er nodded: “I think so too.”

After explaining the arrangements for the next few days, the people in Ye the family dispersed one by one to rest. Jiang Li walked at the back, Ye Ming Yu was ahead. She called him: “Uncle Ming Yu.”

Ye Ming Yu stopped walking: “What’s the matter? Ah Li.”

“I’d like to talk with you.”

Ye Ming Yu followed Jiang Li to Ye Ming Hui’s study room. Jiang Li made Tong’er to watch outside, then said: “Uncle Ming Yu has traveled everywhere, you should have some friends, right?”

Ye Ming Yu heard what she said and laughed heartily: “Correct, I really have many friends.”

“These must be people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for friendship. Uncle Ming Yu, I have something that must go through you, perhaps your friend can do it.”

Ye Ming Yu saw Jiang Li’s serious face and couldn’t help putting his smile away. He said: “What’s the matter, Ah Li, you say.”

“Everyone in Xiangyang is aware that Tong Zhi Yang is henpecked. Although this person has unlimited greed, in the matter of male-female relationship, he is nevertheless completely clean. He never even stepped into a brothel’s door. Because of this, his wife was willing to let the maternal family to support him and let him sit in this magistrate position in Xiangyang.”

Talking about the matter of male-female relationship, even Ye Ming Yu was somewhat ill at ease. He glanced sideways at Jiang Li’s calm face, as if she was just talking about ordinary matters. Ye Ming Yu could only find a reason for Jiang Li in his heart, after all, Jiang Li had stayed in the nunnery for eight years, pure in heart, understood the principle that color was emptiness and emptiness was color. It’s only natural for her to treat towards male-female matters very plainly.

This was precisely free from vulgarity!

As his thoughts flew away, Ye Ming Yu again heard Jiang Li say: “However, Tong Zhi Yang is not as well-behaved in his private life as he appears on the surface. He has an outer room which he arranged at the side, not far from Xiangyang’s city walls. He bought a house for the outer room and in return, the outer room gave birth to a son for him.”

“Ah?” Ye Ming Yu jumped in fright. This secret matter, he had never heard at all. It’s widely known that Tong Zhi Yang feared his wife like a tiger, how could he have such a huge courage?

“Uncle doesn’t have to be surprised,” Ye Ming Yu becoming so startled made Jiang Li speechless. She said: “That outer room is young and looks good. Tong Zhi Yang loves her very much. In addition, the madam in his residence only gave birth to two daughters for him. Tong Zhi Yang desired a son, and the outer room gave him a son in one move, placing her at the tip of his heart. Once in a while, he would pay a visit to this mother and son.”

Ye Ming Yu was so shocked his jaw almost dropped to the ground: “Is, is what you said true?”
