Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 98 Part 1

Chapter 98 Part 1: Disturbance

In the Ye family, after the Ye Ming Hui brothers left, the Ye family were somewhat silent.

Old madam Ye’s health was not good and she had not been able to get out of bed nowadays. n.o.body dared to mention this to her. Zhuo-shi and Guan-shi had to force a smile when they took care of old madam Ye so she would not discover any clues. Old madam Ye’s health had improved with great difficulty, they must not let this ruin everything.

Pertaining to what Jiang Li said about Tong Zhi Yang’s brother-in-law who was a Zhong Guan Ling in Yanjing, aside from letting people be astonished that Jiang Li had a clear memory of what these people do as officials, it didn’t interest the Ye family.

But Jiang Li didn’t think so. The Li family and Tong Zhi Yang’s relationship could be pulled with a Zhong Guan Ling. Such a close relationship, it’s very difficult to not let her think more.

It’s just that she’s afraid the Ye family people would not believe if she mentioned this to the Ye family.

After returning to her courtyard, Jiang Li sat in the room and thought hard.

Tong’er and Bai Xue did not dare to disturb her and quietly retreated outside. Due to Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan’s matters, the people under the Ye family were also much more taciturn. The whole residence instantly became more depressed. As if there’s an unseen haze shrouding everyone’s hearts, making people listless.

As the saying goes, the truth will be seen in trials and tribulations. Although n.o.body wanted the Ye family to meet with mishap, for Jiang Li, it wasn’t necessarily not an opportunity. To melt a block of ice, it’s doable to not do anything and just let it melt slowly. But too much time will be spent. Moreover, what she lacked most was precisely time. Supposed this time the Ye family met with mishap, she could exert her capability, and be able to help the Ye family to break out of the crisis, perhaps afterwards, the previous estrangement would, for the most part, disappear.

At that time, with the Ye family, “repairing old relationships” would be an easy matter.

However, at present, the first thing to handle clearly was the thing pertaining to the Ye family’s ancient fragrant satin and get to the bottom of the matter as to what actually happened. Jiang Li vaguely smelled a conspiracy. So far, she only suspected that this matter was related to the Right Minister Li family, but there wasn’t any evidence.

She could only wait for the two brothers to return to the residence before discussing it.

……

Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan did not return to the house that night.

Not only that, they seemed to have vanished in the following days. At first, Guan-shi and Zhuo-shi were still waiting anxiously in the house. After several days pa.s.sed by, there wasn’t even any news and the two people were unable to hold back. They personally went to the government office to look for Magistrate Tong, wanting to understand clearly what actually happened.

But Magistrate Tong did not meet with Guan-shi, only made the guard by his side to come out and be the spearhead, saying that the eldest master Ye and the second master Ye were staying in the government office as guests. The matters were not yet done, when the matters were completed, they would naturally return home.

Despite Guan-shi’s usual smooth handling of things on normal days, she also felt helpless when facing this slick Tong Zhi Yang. She turned around and complained to Zhuo-shi: “I can’t even see Tong Zhi Yang! Not to mention asking about the master and the second brother, I see Tong Zhi Yang is clearly being deliberate. He already knew from earlier that I would drop in, so he avoided and did not meet!”

Zhuo-shi was a little timid. After listening, she was deeply worried and said: “In the end, what does he want to do? Capturing the masters and holding them in the government office, I don’t know how they get by? He wouldn’t secretly use torture on them right? I’ve heard before there’s an official holding people in the prison to torture.”

When this words were heard by Ye Ming Yu, he shouted loudly at once and angrily said: “Use torture? They are eating bear’s heart and leopard’s gall! Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, the two of you just wait. Isn’t Tong Zhi Yang refusing to meet? I’ll burst inside! I’ll use a knife on his neck, see if he is willing to meet or not!”

Guan-shi and Zhuo-shi simultaneously shouted not to, but Ye Ming Yu was not someone they could block. He directly chose a fine horse outside and rode off without a second thought. He looked like he was going to find Tong Zhi Yang to settle the account.

Ye Ming Yu had quite a heavy river and lakes air in his body, not knowing that not everything on earth could be solved with the fists. Jiang Li, who rushed into the front hall after receiving the news, saw Guan-shi and Zhuo-shi in the middle of commanding people to chase after Ye Ming Yu. It’s still unknown whether they could catch up to him.

Ye Jia Er and Ye Ru Feng also rushed over. After learning of the whole sequence of events, Ye Ru Feng did not comment and immediately said: “I’ll go and look for the third uncle!”

“Ru Feng!” Zhuo-shi pulled him, “Don’t add more trouble at this time! There isn’t a single male in the house right now, only weak women remain. This is really……. really, aish!”

Ye Jia Er was also feeling extremely difficult. Seeing Jiang Li standing on one side, she soon came over and said in a low voice: “Younger sister also feels it’s unimaginable, right?!”

“Indeed.” Jiang Li nodded, “Before I came to the Ye residence, I didn’t know that the Ye family would have this trouble and still thought that the Ye family’s life in Xiangyang was very good.”

“The Ye family really lived very well in Xiangyang, but that was a few months prior.” Ye Jia Er laughed bitterly. “But as you see now, everyone says, prosperity is bound to decline. Could it be that my Ye family has reached the time of decline?”

The loss could not be concealed in Ye Jia Er’s tone. Though she was usually magnanimous and easy-mannered, her age was still young after all. Abruptly running into this matter, especially it was the eldest uncle and father both being arrested and not knowing the present situation, she would more or less be affected. Jiang Li saw the blue black under her eye, these days she must have not had a good night sleep.

“Man can conquer nature, there isn’t a time when it should or should not be. Moreover, the Ye family did not do evil, G.o.d would treat the Ye family well.” Jiang Li comforted her. When the consoling words came out, she wanted to laugh. G.o.d would not treat a person well just because a person was good. In her previous life, which one of the Xue family was not an upright person in their whole life? Yet in the end, they ended up alone and helpless. The heavens were unreliable, it’s better to rely on oneself.

She set her mind and said to Ye Jia Er: “Older sister, don’t be discouraged and say something in a moment of anger. In my opinion, the eldest uncle and second uncle won’t have any accidents in the government office. If they really wanted to harm them, there would already be indications from an earlier time. This kind of hiding and concealing, on the contrary, looked like making a deal. My guess is, Tong Zhi Yang not agreeing to let aunts meet uncles is for the purpose of waiting for a good offer.”
