Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 47 Part 2 - Liu Xu

Chapter 47 Part 2: Liu Xu

When these words came out, the entire study hall became quiet. Following immediately, some students almost exposed their smiles. Meng Hongjing blushed deeply, she was unable to say a word out.

On one side, Jiang Li said that they were deliberately provocative while on the other side, she humiliated Meng Hongjin’s family background. Everyone knew Jiang Li’s father was the chief a.s.sistant and Meng Hongjin’s father was the Cheng Xuan Envoy. No matter how, a Cheng Xuan Envoy couldn’t be higher than a chief a.s.sistant. Contrary to expectation, Jiang Li still asked this question seriously, making Meng Hongjin be reduced to a laughingstock.

The atmosphere was awkward, Jiang You Yao also had no idea what to say. If she helped Meng Hongjin to speak, it was equal to stepping on his own father. If she agreed with Jiang Li’s words, it’s be weird if Meng Hongjin didn’t hold grudges towards her. Secretly hating that Jiang Li was so cunning, Jiang You Yao had no alternative but to glance meaningfully at Jiang Yu’e.

Without any choice, Jiang Yu’e softly coughed a couple of times, breaking the silence and stiffly pulled the topic away to another direction. She said: “Second sister, don’t talk about those things first. You just entered school, you need to pick a seat. Fourth sister and I are seated together, third sister and Miss Meng are seated together. Because you came too late, you have to ask if there’s anyone who’s willing to be together with you.”

Who’s willing to be together with her? Jiang Li did not need to think she was also aware. Of course there wouldn’t be anybody.

As expected, Jiang Li stood in the middle of the hall yet n.o.body called out to Jiang Li to sit beside them.

Baixue couldn’t enter the study hall and stayed outside with the carriage along with the other misses’ servant girls. Those servant girls probably also disdained Baixue’s solid built and isolated Baixue. Baixue didn’t mind and squatted by the side of a rockery, basking in the sun with a stray cat.

In the silence, someone abruptly yelled: “There’s n.o.body by my side, why don’t you come and sit here.”

Jiang Li felt unexpected and saw a girl dressed in a cyan dress standing up at the front, looking at Jiang Li.

This girl could be regarded as beautiful, however, her lower jaw was rather square which came across as somewhat firm and persistent. There’s a faint shadow of Madam Liu in her features and Jiang Li suddenly realized that this was the young miss from Chengde Official’s residence, Liu Xu.

Jiang Li didn’t hesitate and walked over to the desk beside Liu Xu. A jee came from behind her: “Liu Xu, you really dare to sit together with her and not afraid one day she’ll push you down the stairs? When there’s life threatening worries later, don’t say we didn’t warn you.”

Liu Xu silently tossed those words to the back of her head, seemingly didn’t hear anything at all and Jiang Li sat beside Liu Xu, all smiles. Liu Xu knitted her brows, a faint unwillingness could be faintly seen. However, she didn’t say anything.

Jiang Li understood, most probably, Madam Liu also received the news of her attending Mingyi Hall and talked to Liu Xu, asking Liu Xu to look after her. In reality, a girl must be feeling afraid when facing someone with a reputation of attacking the mother and murdering the younger brother. It’s a very normal thing. Liu Xu able to restrain her fear and completed the task entrusted to her by Madam Liu was already very amazing.

Seeing that Jiang Li was a.s.sessing herself, the corner of Liu Xu’s mouth was stretched taut and she flung her head sideways. Jiang Li laughed when she saw her, thinking, this is an adorable girl.

The voices of discussion came to a halt one by one. Still the voice of someone asking Jiang You Yao could be heard. Jiang Li knew Jiang You Yao and Jiang Yuyan were very likely to go all-out to discredit her.

But not long after, a person came in. It was a female teacher dressed from head to toe in a pine colored long gown. Her hair was coiled tall above her head into a bun, her eyes and lips were thin, and her figure looked thin and weak. When she entered, the noise in MingYi Hall immediately faded.

She was a strict teacher.

Jiang Li looked at the female teacher in front of her and felt somewhat absent-minded.

This female teacher’s surname was Ji, with one word Luo as her name. In MingYi Hall, what she taught from the Confucian Six Arts is “etiquette”.

Ji Luo was also a person who strictly abided by etiquette. In Jiang Li’s view, she was even somewhat old-fashioned and inflexible. Ji Luo was lofty and admired Shen Yurong greatly in the past. In public, she praised Shen Yurong as brilliant, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with literary talent. But towards Xue Fangfei, she was pitifully harsh.

As a female, naturally she could see that Ji Luo admired Shen Yu Rong.

Afterwards, the matter of Xue Fangfei having an illicit affair spread widely in Yanjing. Once Ji Luo visited and cursed and berated in her face that she didn’t observe women’s virtue and sympathized deeply with Shen Yurong’s bitter experience.

But, Jiang Li lowered her pupils, what if Ji Luo learnt of Shen Yurong’s true appearance, would she still have those deep feelings?
