Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 94 Part 1

Chapter 94 Part 1: Brothel

Unlike the entanglement of the Ye family, Jiang Li’s days pa.s.sed easily. At least, from the Ye family servants’ views, this Jiang second miss was completely relaxed, as if it wasn’t the first time that she stayed at the Ye family’s house. The Ye family servants that were a.s.signed to wait upon Jiang Li were all aware of this Jiang second miss’s past deeds. No need to mention how many years ago she disdained having a maternal grandmother who came from the merchant cla.s.s , afterwards, she still harmed her mother and murdered her younger brother and was sent to the nunnery to cultivate herself.

They originally thought they would meet with a malicious, ill-mannered, extremely difficult to serve arrogant and willful eldest miss. Who would expect that the person who came was exceedingly easy to wait upon. She didn’t have any excessive requests, and as long as Tong’er and Baixue could do them, Jiang Li didn’t bother the Ye family servants. If Jiang Li was to be considered a guest of the Ye family, then this guest was certainly the easiest guest to serve.

Each and everyone of the servants was relieved. After a few days, they gradually became acquainted with Tong’er and Bai Xue. Tong’er was lively, often giving light refreshments to share with the servant girls to eat together. Bai Xue was even more approachable since she was born on farmland. The servant girls’ courage grew and they would chat and exchange gossip with Tong’er and Bai Xue.

However, though it was like this, even after five to six days, the Ye family remained motionless and did not mention anything about Jiang Li meeting with old madam Ye.

When Tong’er brought this up with Jiang Li, she was quite dissatisfied and said: “What does the Ye family actually mean? It’s been said that miss is coming to visit the old madam, but these days, not even a single word was mentioned. Really making people anxious.”

The Ye family didn’t take the initiative to mention it and it wasn’t good for Jiang Li to inquire.

“You are on good terms with those servant girls, did you find anything out?” Jiang Li asked with a smile. Compared with Tong’er she wasn’t in a hurry with this matter. She wasn’t the genuine Jiang second miss, for her, old madam Ye was just a grandmother in name only. But when really talking about sentiments, it indeed wouldn’t be very deep. It would be too deliberate if she a.s.sumed a sentimental look. Now, since she had arrived in Xiangyang and lived in the Ye family, her first step could be considered a success, it’s already very smooth.

Tong’er shook her head: “I heard from the servant girls in the courtyard that old madam Ye’s health is not very good and since a few years ago, it’s difficult for her to get out of bed. The physicians said that she must fully relax and recuperate.” She spoke up to here then sighed and continued: “Maybe we shouldn’t blame the Ye family, supposed that the old madam truly cannot stand any stimulation, then this is not the time to let miss meet with the old madam.” She recalled something and said: “Heard that the old madam’s health is not good and third master Ye who is currently traveling outside is also rushing back to Xiangyang. Perhaps he will arrive within the next few days.”

Old madam Ye had three sons and a daughter. Ye Ming Hui was the first son and Ye Ming Xuan was the second son. This third master Ye, Ye Ming Yu and Ye Zhen Zhen were twins, born at the same time. Ye Zhen Zhen was pure and simple, but Ye Ming Yu’s temper did not follow convention since childhood. From a young age, he was fond of traveling extensively and acted like a warrior. After he ran into a stonewall while in the rivers and lakes, he decided to return home and do business. But even in business, Ye Ming Yu insisted on being unconventional. Every year he would follow the sea caravan out on the ships, going to remote and foreign small towns along the way and spent silvers to purchase a few strange gadgets before selling them when he returned.

There were times when he could find good gadgets, but there were even more times when the things picked out by Ye Ming Yu’s caravans could not make much money. Fortunately, the Ye family businesses were huge. The oldest master Ye and second master Ye supported the family’s business, thus could still let him run amok.

This time around was probably because old madam Ye’s health was truly not good, thus before the end of the year, Ye Ming Yu had already returned to Xiangyang from his sea journey to see his mother.

Because Ye Zhen Zhen and Ye Ming Yu were a dragon and phoenix twins, the relationship between Ye Ming Yu and Ye Zhen Zhen were extremely close. At that time, when Jiang Li’s malicious words hurt old madam Ye, from then on, the hearts of the people of the Ye family were cold towards Jiang Li. Only this person, the third master Ye, had continuously kept Jiang Li in his mind. It’s just that afterwards Ye Ming Hui forbade the Ye family from mentioning Jiang Li, thus Ye Ming Yu dropped the subject.

To repair the relationship with the people of the Ye family, aside from the people who seemed polite but estranged and not at all easy to get close to, this third master Ye would actually be a very good breakthrough.

“The third master returning to Xiangyang was not just due to old madam Ye.” Bai Xue who was wiping the table at the side, spoke up: “Heard that some problems have arisen in the Ye family’s business recently. All the servant girls outside said that the third master came back to help out.”

“Problems have arisen in the Ye family’s business?” Jiang Li asked: “what kind of problems?”

Bai Xue shook her head: “This servant couldn’t find out, it seems that those servant girls are not too clear either. They only said that there were small problems.”

Jiang Li thought inwardly, if it is just small problems, Ye Ming Yu will definitely not return to Xiangyang. As the rumors outside say, in the Ye family, Ye Ming Yu simply didn’t care much and didn’t contribute much towards the Ye family business. If even the insignificant Ye Ming Yu also returned, the Ye family’s problems are certainly not as light as mentioned.

It’s just that the people in the Ye family did not trust her at all so she couldn’t find out what exactly was the matter.
