Chapter 36 Part 2 - Discussion

 

Ji Shuran wasn’t afraid of anyone discovering anything strange. As a female master, whose hands were clean without any kind of tricks? Yet after employing her trick but still losing, it was suffering a double loss1. If this came out, perhaps people would laugh very loudly. It was like admitting that her skill was not as good as other people, losing in the hand of a young silly girl.

Ji Shuran was proud and arrogant. Returning to her courtyard, she had angrily swept the entirety of vases and pots in the room.

Ji Chen shi comforted her: “With you doing things like this, if seen by others they’ll say that you are losing your cool. Where is the style of a chief assistant’s madam.”

“Jie jie, I really cannot swallow this breath.” Ji Shuran said hatefully: “Jiang Li, that young slut is really too evil! Her age is not much different from You Yao, yet she is so clever. You’ve also seen this matter, how could she make such a scheme!”

Ji Chen shi said: “She is indeed not simple, you also shouldn’t lose your head in panic.” Ji Chen shi instructed the servant girl to close the door and continued: “At present, you are the master in the Jiang residence main room. Don’t forget that you have given Jiang Yuanbai a pair of children and his heart is biaised towards you. Jiang Li is a daughter that has been forgotten, would there be someone in the Jiang residence who would really regard her as a young lady? If you want to deal with her, it’s still not that easy. Remember to slowly plan, don’t let anyone grab a handle. Look at what happened with Xiang Qiao this time, you almost meet with mishap.”

Ji Shuran slowly calmed down and said: “I know.”

Yun Shuang had already been taken away. In the end, Jiang Li’s words had arisen suspicion in Ji Shuran despite Yun Shuang’s explanation that it was due to the jealousy between Xiang Qiao and her that had made the situation turn out like it was. But no matter whether it was true or false, Yun Shuang had caused Ji Shuran to fail at the last minute. Making such a mistake, she could not be allowed to stay. As for what method she used, in short, if others asked, she just merely said that Yun Shuang was unable to stand Xiang Qiao’s death and packed up her things and returned home.

“It was that Madam Liu,” Ji Chen shi‘s complexion became gloomy, “they’ve set themselves against our Ji family two or three times already. Last time Father told me, Liu Yuan Feng has once again partaken in his report. This Liu Yuan Feng really doesn’t know how to appreciate favors. Now that Madam Liu has also repeatedly opposed us, it really is making people angry.”

“Really makes people fed up.” Ji Shuran immediately chipped in: “At that time, if it were not because of her meddling, how would Jiang Li have had the chance to go back to Yanjing!”

“It’s nothing,” Ji Chen shi said: “The Liu family dared to set themselves against our Ji family, naturally they will have to eat the fruit.2 The most important is yourself,” Ji Chen shi repeatedly warned Ji Shuran, “This time you’ve provoked Jiang Yuanbai’s anger, you must carefully placate him. As for Jiang Li, don’t be anxious, just casually find a way. Anyway she is now right under your nose, don’t forget, the major event in her life is still grasped in your hand, it’s easy to create a stumbling block.”

Ji Shuran nodded: “What you said is reasonable.”

Just at this time, a person suddenly ran inside, it was precisely Jiang You Yao. She appeared angry and her features looked distorted. Seeing that both Ji Chen shi and Ji Shuran were present, she didn’t bother with anything else and immediately said: “Mother, aunt, Jiang Li that young vixen actually seduced Zhou heir in front of me, shameless! You must give her a lesson for me!”

“How dare she?” Ji Shuran teng all of a sudden got up.

“She dared.” Jiang Youyao felt extremely aggrieved, “Mother, she didn’t put us in her eyes like this, how can we tolerate it? Mother, you must vent this bad breath for me!”

ah really, so hateful! this Ji Shuran makes me so mad! and this You Yao is just utterly stupid… Excuse me? which of your eyes saw Jiang Li seducing, it was all that good-for-nothing fiancé of yours! Grow up and face reality, your chosen man is just a *****

And now let me apologize for the big delay, I was very busy and had many stressing matters coming at me that I couldn’t edit the chaps… and then I kinda forgot… well not really, only a tiny bit (just 99% forgot). So here you are the chaps, one from last week which I missed, the other one from yesterday coming with delay, and an extra one bc in August it was our first anniversary for MDD and we totally didn’t realize. Enjoy^^
