Ji Shuran saw Jiang LĂŽâs smiling look and without knowing why, she abruptly had a feeling of unease. Her intuition told her to prevent Jiang LĂŽ from speaking further, but before she spoke, Jiang You Yao took the opportunity to open her mouth to reply: âIf thatâs the case, why didnât you wear them?â
âLĂŽâer is already accustomed to wearing simple clothes and eating vegetarian food, she must not be used to it. Donât mind it.â Ji Shuran hurriedly spoke. Her intuition told her that she shouldnât let Jiang LĂŽ reply to this, so she took the lead in obstructing.
Jiang LĂŽ shook her head: âHow is that possible? In the end, Jiang LĂŽ is a female, how could females not like splendid clothing? Itâs just âŚâŚ.â She regretfully shook her head, âAfter all, Jiang LĂŽ hasnât returned to the residence for seven years to see mother. There was also little communication, mother does not know Jiang LĂŽâs height, so when making those magnificent clothings, unexpectedly, none of them fit.â
None of them fit!
The commoners were in an uproar, based on Jiang LĂŽâs sentence, it didnât matter that she hadnât been back to the residence for seven years. But seven years with little communication, it was very likely that it wasnât just little communication. There must not have been any communication at all, right!? Otherwise, when the mother was making clothes for her, how could she not know her daughterâs measurements. Of course it must be because since seven years ago, she simply did not know Jiang LĂŽâs situation, so she had no idea how tall Jiang LĂŽ had become.
The heart was really ruthless ah. Although she had made such a big mistake, that was still their own flesh and blood ah.
The surrounding people pointed at Jiang Yuan Bai and he became gloomy though on the surface, he still remained calm and collected. However, Ji Shuran knew that Jiang Yuan Bai was already unhappy. In a moment of desperation, Ji Shuran looked at Sun momo, such a huge matter, why didnât Sun momo send a notice while they were still on the way? Or else, with such a shrewd experience, how was it possible that she let Jiang LĂŽ this young girl to seize such a handle?
Sun momo was also grieving in her heart. She had already given those clothes to Jiang LĂŽ but she didnât wear them. When Sun momo asked her why she didnât wear them, Jiang LĂŽ only said that she didnât like wearing these clothes. Since thatâs the case, Sun momo didnât try to persuade her, merely thinking that Jiang LĂŽ was just throwing a tantrum. She even thought that it would be better with this tantrum. Just wait till the time she arrived at the residence, Ji Shuran would be able to grasp her handle, making Jiang LĂŽ eat this loss. 1
At that time, Jiang LĂŽ only said that she didnât like wearing them, she didnât mention that they werenât well fit ah! Sun momo thought back to Jiang LĂŽâs behavior and conducts, and it suddenly dawned on her. Since the beginning, Jiang LĂŽ had dug a pit, waiting for madam and third miss to jump into it!
In her mind, Jiang LĂŽ broke into laughter. She didnât deliberately dig a hole for others. However, since this happened, then let it be. In a way, it was also considered probing. If Jiang third miss and Ji Shuran were really not fuel-saving lamps 2, naturally they would fall in it. If they were honest and sincere, then they could live together in harmony. She didnât expect that having just arrived at the residence, each and everyoneâs attitude was already testing her. Ji Shuran wasnât really like her gentle and kind-hearted appearance, and Jiang third miss also seemed to have quite a bit of hostility towards her.
As for this cheap father, Jiang LĂŽ wasnât really his biological daughter. So towards his affair, she wouldnât be disappointed. If this time it was the genuine Jiang second miss, afraid she would be discouraged since earlier.
Anyway, this Jiang family was Yanjingâs most outstanding government official great family. With the tall gates of the great family, inevitably there would be waves. This being the case, then just confront soldiers with generals and stem water with earth.3
But the current her was no longer the unskilled thatfell into the water Jiang second miss. She also wasnât the Xue Fang Fei who could be humiliated by people and got killed. The present Jiang LĂŽ was not afraid of anything.
You harmed me, why would you think I wouldnât be able to harm you?
Jiang LĂŽ smiled at Ji Shuran and spoke: âMother, although the clothes didnât fit, it was after all made with sincere intention, Jiang LĂŽ doesnât dare to forget. Itâs just, having lived in the nunnery for seven years, Jiang LĂŽ is aware not to be wasteful. Since the clothes were already made and didnât fit, they shouldnât stay with me.â She abruptly turned towards at Jiang You Yao who was at the side.
Ji Shuranâs heart skipped a beat, then heard Jiang LĂŽ smilingly continued: âI see third younger sister has the precise measurements with the clothes made by mother. Why not let the clothes made by mother be given to third sister. Now that I think about it, with those design and colors, when third younger sister wears them, they must be suitable and incomparable, will look very nice.â
All color drained from Ji Shuranâs face.
The last straw that crushed the camelâs back! Perhaps from tomorrow onwards, all over Yanjing city news would spread on how Jiang familyâs new madam treated the stepdaughter and her own daughter. Close and distant relatives were treated distinctly differently, just a look could tell. Jiang LĂŽ had just returned home, yet her many years of painstaking effort to build her virtuous reputation were smashed in an instant.
What a good Jiang second miss!
