Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 16.2 - Younger Brother

Chapter 16 Part 2: Younger Brother

It was the blistering summertime, yet inside the Jiang residence, there was not a bit of heat. Admittedly, it was due to the many plants and trees in the courtyard. At the same time, another unavoidable contribution was the ice cubes in the bas.e.m.e.nt. Moreover, “Wan Feng” hall was somewhat cooler compared to outside the Jiang residence. As soon as one stepped inside, they would only feel as if they were in the third or fourth month. The temperature was just right, very comfortable.

There were many people sitting inside the hall at this time. Seeing Jiang Li come in, all the people got up from their seats, except for the person sitting on a soft seat at the very center.

“Mother, Li-er had returned.” Jiang Yuan Bai faced the person sitting on the seat and cupped his hands in greeting.

The person sitting soon opened her mouth, and she spoke in a calm voice, neither anger or joy could be heard: “It’s good that you’ve returned. Second girl, come forward and let me look at you.”

In accordance to her words, Jiang Li stepped forward and slowly raised her head.

The age of the old madam on the seat seemed to be past 70 years old. Her head was full of grey hair, but not one hair was out of place and it was combed meticulously into a bun at the back of her head, looking very clean. She was wearing a light and loose green silk gown with a row of jade green b.u.t.tons which added a bit of a luxurious impression. A face full of wrinkles, somewhat aged, but those pair of eyes was very deep and imposing.

This was a very quick-witted old madam. Even though she was at an advanced age, she still paid attention to her attire. Probably, she was strict towards herself as well as towards others. She didn’t seem to be too affectionate, yet sufficiently took the burden of carrying an official residence. An intelligent and courageous madam.

Thinking of it, Old Master Jiang pa.s.sed away early. Before 40, Old Madam Jiang had already become a widow. It must had not been easy for the old madam to raise the chief a.s.sistant by herself.。

Jiang Li had already heard from Tong’er that the temperament of this Old Madam Jiang was harsh, yet she handled affairs with fairness. After Ye Zhen Zhen pa.s.sed away and Ji Shuran entered the door, Old Madam Jiang had never neglected Jiang Li. It was only after Jiang Li caused Ji Shuran to miscarry and lost the Jiang family’s di grandson that Old Madam Jiang became disappointed with her. When Jiang Li was sent to Mount Qingcheng, Old Madam Jiang didn’t say any words to obstruct.

In short, the current Jiang Li and Old Madam Jiang’s grandmother and granddaughter relationship could be said as thin and almost non existent.

Right at this time, suddenly the sound of messy footsteps could be heard from outside, along with a child’s young and tender shout: “Mother, grandmother!”

Jiang Li turned around and from the door, a female servant walked in. In her hands, she was holding a child wearing a small vest with golden threads, around five or six years old. He could be regarded as bright and adorable.

The child entered the door, he immediately struggled free from the servant’s hands and ran towards Old Madam Jiang . Old Madam Jiang busily told the momo at the side to support him. The child climbed onto Old Madam Jiang’s knee with familiarity and hugged Old Madam Jiang’s neck. Suddenly, he looked towards Jiang Li, afterwards, with a crisp voice he spoke: “Are you the bad person who killed my older brother?”

Older brother? Bad person?

When these words came out, the surrounding fell silent in an instant. Ji Shuran reprimanded: “Ji ge’er, don’t talk nonsense!”

That Ji ge’er’s mouth pressed into a line and he looked at Old Madam Jiang full of grievances.

Old Madam Jiang didn’t speak, Jiang Yuan Bai coughed softly and spoke to Jiang Li: “Li’er, this is your younger brother, Bing Ji.”

Jiang Bing Ji? Younger brother?

Jiang Li saw the child in the old madam’s embrace and noticed that Jiang You Yao raised the corner of her mouth, and she suddenly realized.

For Old Madam Jiang to dote on the child so much, also calling Ji Shuran as “mother”, it seemed that the matter when the second Jiang miss harmed the fetus in the stepmother’s stomach and they said that the stepmother was unable to conceive anymore was false.

And here in front, was precisely the Jiang family’s di grandson. After the matter, Ji Shuran got pregnant and gave birth to a son. Jiang You Yao’s blood related brother, Jiang Yuan Bai’s only son, Jiang Bing Ji.

In that split second, Jiang Li was able to process a lot of things.

It’s no wonder that Jiang You Yao dared to brazenly grab Jiang second miss’ marriage. Due to the son that Ji Shuran had given birth to, they were able to stand firmly. Ye Zhen Zhen had completely become the past, and the first room been thoroughly replaced.

This was being secure because they had a backing ah!
