Marriage of the Di Daughter-Chapter 105.1

“Uncle Ming Yu, simply said, there’s a noble in Yanjing that takes a fancy to the Ye family’s property and also Ye older cousin’s official position. So that person deliberately made a drama to invite the Ye family into the boiling pot. But then,” she laughed, “the singing was too much.”

Ye Ming Yu was somewhat baffled. He didn’t quite understand Jiang Li’s words, but also not totally incomprehensible.

The Ye family was a millionaire in Northern Yan and this family’s wealth would inevitably make people jealous. Apart from people in the same trade harboring jealousy, there were also other people who had errant thoughts. Thinking of using the Ye family and utilizing the Ye family’s vast wealth by employing disgusting methods was not impossible. However, Jiang Li’s words faintly revealed a thought that the person hidden in the Da Feng Medicine Shop, even the person behind Tong Zhi Yang and Tong Zhi Yang’s brother-in-law, was possibly extremely powerful.

People with great power always could not be trifled with.

Everyone knew the principle that commoners did not fight with officials. Even though Ye Ming Yu was full of bravery and fearless, the entire Ye family was not an impenetrable defense. Being stared at by this kind of person, they could escape once, how about the second or third time? They could not be lucky all the time.

He muttered: “Where is the justification of defending against thieves for a thousand days…….”

“Uncle Ming Yu does not have to feel inferior, the Ye family and the Jiang family have in-laws relationship. As long as I’m still alive, I will not let the relationship between these two families be cut off. My father and second uncle’s positions in the court were not low. That person is a noble person, our Jiang family is also not a humble household, and the Ye family cannot be bullied casually. Furthermore, there’s older cousin Ye. Now he holds a position in the Ministry of Revenue, his starting point is already high, in the future, his career would only be smoother. When older brother Ye has reached a certain position, the Ye family would naturally be shielded.”

Jiang Li paused before continuing: “Why those people chose this time to move was because older brother Ye’s wings are not hard yet. If waiting until the talons sprout then make their move, it will be even more difficult. They didn’t get their way this time, in the future, it will be harder to find the opportunity.”

Ye Ming Yu was slightly comforted by her speech. Thinking of what Jiang Li said, he couldn’t help saying in embarrassment: “This time with your father, the Jiang family got involved, we are bothering left and right.”

“One family, why have to say two families,” Jiang Li smiled. “Perhaps there will be a day when the Jiang family meet with a calamity and need the Ye family to lend a helping hand at that time.”

Ye Ming Yu was amused by her and said: “Ah Li, you are bluffing, no matter how, the Jiang family will never be reduced to asking for help from our Ye family. Don’t tell such a fantasy story just to console me.”

Jiang Li did not comment. In her view, it’s not easy to tell the future. At present, the alliance of Cheng Wang and the Right Prime Minister’s power was getting bigger and towards the Jiang family, it was getting more disadvantageous. The current power of Emperor Hong Xiao was weak, it’s still unclear whether the world would fall in Cheng Wang’s hand in the future. Although she strove to prevent this kind of situation from happening, if an accident happened to the Jiang family within this period was not something that she could control. The wheel of fate turned, the Jiang family had been flushed with success for many years, who would know what would happen later.

Jiang Li put away the thought in her heart, smiled and said: “Anyway, the ancient fragrant satin matter is already resolved for the time being. Tong Zhi Yang’s outer room, the mother and son are the problem. Since Magistrate Tong kept his promise, then according to the agreement, we should also return his beauty and son.”

“Just return them to him like that?” Ye Ming Yu was a bit indignant. After learning of the truth from the letter written by Tong Zhi Yang, he was extremely displeased. Tong Zhi Yang was initially thinking of pouring dirty water on the Ye family along with those people. But the outcome was good, even though the Ye family was washed clean from the injustice, it was very difficult for the business of ancient fragrant satin to be restored in the future. However, nothing happened to Tong Zhi Yang, which was really unfair.

“A person has to behave with integrity.” Jiang Li laughed good-naturedly. “Tong Zhi Yang loves his son so much precisely because Tong Yu is his sole descendant. Letting his sole descendant wander about outside is not a good thing. This time we also have to do a good deed and help Tong Yu. Let the He family also discover Tong Yu’s existence. Like this, Tong Yu does not have to be a child out of adultery, rather he will be the justified young master of the magistrate. In the future, when Tong Zhi Yang climbs up steadily, he will have a qualified successor, won’t he?”

She spoke and smiled quietly with a sincere appearance. Every word seemed to be considering Tong Zhi Yang. Whoever saw her would not doubt her good intention.

As Ye Ming Yu listened, his expression turned weird. Until Jiang Li finally finished speaking, he couldn’t help bursting into loud laughter. He said: “There are some things that a gentleman would do and not do, but today I learned that a young girl should not be trifled with!”

Every time Jiang Li talked about her plan, she was always straightforward, overturning conspiracies. Only she had the ability to do so. This method actually could not be counted as honorable. Just now, she just said “to keep promises”, but then she turned her head and gave Tong Zhi Yang an added huge trouble. However, as a Ye family member, after Ye Ming Yu finished listening, he only felt extremely carefree. The depression in the past several days was also swept away.

“Tong Zhi Yang fears his tigress-like wife. Once he heard that the place to put the mail was in the He residence, he did not dare to arrange someone to follow. It can be clearly seen that he has a lot of fear for his wife. Now letting He-shi find out the existence of the mother and child would mean the end of Tong Zhi Yang’s good days. Don’t say other things, whether he could still sit in his position as the magistrate properly still has to wait whether He-shi thinks twice and is merciful. All the people in Xiangyang city know that the magistrate’s wife is most unkind and severe, terribly shrewish. Hahahaha, Ah Li, this move of yours is very clever!”
