Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 132 Part 3: Truth

Jiang Li smiled. Aunt Hu was a smart person, she did not immediately reply yesterday, none other than to weigh the pros and cons. Today, she decided quickly, it could be seen that she was clever.

“Don’t worry,” Jiang Li smiled and said, “I’ve said it, whenever Aunt Hu is ready to speak, then it’s time to speak. There’s no hurry for time, I will not force you.”

“Second miss has the heart of a bodhisattva, naturally will not force this concubine. However, this concubine sees that the fierce battle between the second miss and Ji-s.h.i.+ will soon begin. This concubine has an absolutely irreconcilable enmity with Ji-s.h.i.+, so this concubine will naturally lean towards second miss. Coming here today is to show my heart to the second miss.” She said, “This concubine is willing to lend a helping hand.”

“Lend a helping hand?” Jiang Li laughed, “Aunt Hu does not need to speak so righteously. Lending a helping hand or lending a knife to kill was just a way of speaking. Moreover, helping me, isn’t it the same as helping yourself?”

Aunt Hu looked at Jiang Li for a long time before she suddenly smiled. When she smiled, she showed a somewhat gentle and refined posture. She said, “Second miss and Madam are really different.”

The “Madam” she spoke of was of course referring to Ye Zhen Zhen.

Jiang Li smiled indifferently, “I only interacted with my mother for a while, and I also learned about her from other people’s mouths. It was said that Aunt Hu and mother were once good friends, probably Aunt knew.”

“Madam was a good person.” Aunt Hu said softly.

“Because my mother tolerated the existence of the eldest sister, while Ji-s.h.i.+ could not.”

As soon as these words came out, several people in the room went silent. Tong’er and Bai Xue did not dare to make any noise and stood quietly behind Jiang Li.

“Second miss is too bold,” Aunt Hu said, “Aren’t you afraid that Master would hear these words?”

“Aunt overestimates my father’s perceptiveness.” Jiang Li said indifferently, “If he could really see and hear everything, there would not be so many confused things occurring in this residence.”

“Second miss is a clear person.” Aunt Hu lowered her head and said slowly, “Yue’er falling from the rockery was indeed not an accident.”

“Yue’er” was the Jiang eldest miss’s nickname. In fact, whether it was the eldest miss’s nickname or formal name, the entire Jiang family did not seem to remember. She was a daughter born from a concubine, if it weren’t due to Ye Zhen Zhen’s kindness, this life should not have existed. Therefore, Yue’er’s death was believed to be her fate, as she was not supposed to be born. After struggling to be born, she still could not keep her life.

When all was said and done, whether it was fate or conspiracy, no one continued to care, aside from her birth mother.

“Speak slowly.”

“After I gave birth to Yue’er, Madam also had second miss later. Madam treated Yue’er very well, if she had any good things, she would give Yue’er a share. Although Yue’er was a daughter of a concubine. In fact, there was not much difference with the treatment towards the second lady. This concubine was very glad to have met a good person like Madam and I only wished for Yue’er to grow up peacefully, marry an honest family, and live a plain life, which would also be very good. ”

“I did not expect Madam would go so early, later, Ji-s.h.i.+ entered the door.” She looked at Jiang Li and laughed at herself, “Although Ji-s.h.i.+ also appeared extremely gentle and generous on the surface and treated Yue’er very well, as women, we always have a kind of intuition. There was something in her eyes when she looked at Yue’er.”

“I wanted Yue’er to stay away from her and not be close to her, but I did not think that something would still happen to her.”

“They regarded Yue’er as playmates to accompany Jiang You Yao playing, but how could they treat her as an ordinary playmate? That day…..”

That day, the Jiang family’s eldest miss was playing with Jiang You Yao in the residence. Jiang You Yao was just two years old, a child who did not know anything. It was not clear what the Jiang family’s eldest miss did, which caused her to b.u.mp into Jiang You Yao. Ji Shuran was furious and kicked Jiang Yue’er. The Jiang family’s eldest miss was four years old, the kick did not show any mercy, directly causing Jiang Yue’er to fall backwards and the back of her head was knocked onto the threshold. The person died on the spot.

Ji Shuran was fl.u.s.tered for only a moment before immediately making a decision, which was to let the subordinate carry Jiang Yue’er to the rockery in the garden and said that Jiang Yue’er was not careful and fell from the rockery, thus losing her life.

“They also did not think that Jiang Yue’er was only four years old, how could she climb that kind of rockery.” Despite her utmost attempt to reiterate the past calmly, Aunt Hu could not help shaking slightly. She curled her fingers and randomly grabbed at something, as if wanting to hold her daughter that had disappeared. She said, “My Yue’er died in Ji Shuran’s hands.”

“How did you know?” Jiang Li asked.

“My servant girl, her name was Bai Qin.” She motioned to her servant girl who was standing beside her and said, “Her twin sister, called Si Qi, was by Yue’er side that day. She was outside, and happened to see Ji-s.h.i.+ instructing others to do those things. When people were not paying attention, she ran back to the courtyard and told me.”

“What about the maid?” Jiang Li asked.

“Dead.” Aunt Hu lowered her head, “all the people in the courtyard became scapegoats that day. Si Qi was not able to protect the young lady and was beaten to death. I could not save her.”

“You know about this, why didn’t you tell father?” Jiang Li asked.

“Second miss, do you think I haven’t told the Master?” Aunt Hu said mockingly, “It’s just that no one believed me. They all said that I went insane from losing Yu’er and slandered Ji-s.h.i.+, even wanting to send me to the temple. If it were not for the old madam speaking up for me based on the master and servant relations.h.i.+p, I’m afraid something would have happened on the way to the temple early on and I would have died a violent death.”

Jiang Li was silent. After a while, she said, “You are saying that no one in the residence believed you?”

“Why should they?” Aunt Hu said, “She was the Ji family’s young lady, now the Madam of the main branch, gentle and magnanimous, virtuous and kind. No one would believe that she would do something to a child born out of a concubine who would not obstruct her. Perhaps, there were people who felt that there was something amiss, but in that year, the Ji family was becoming more prosperous. Who would offend the Ji family, the in-laws, for the sake of a dead person? Second miss, you have personally been in the Jiang family, where the relations.h.i.+ps among people were only based on interest, you ought to have seen it much clearer than me. They also have affection, but this little affection needs to pay attention to the merits and drawbacks. In the face of benefits, this affection is really weak.”
