Marriage of the Di Daughter-Chapter 13.2 - Arrival
Chapter 13.2: Arrival
Saying that Madam Ji Shuran wanted to pick up Jiang Lî, but on the contrary Chief Assistant Jiang Yuanbai had obstructed it by every means, it sounded as if she, this daughter, had indeed not obtained her father’s love. In the end, whether this was a fact or instigation, Jiang Lî naturally was able to see.
She smiled and nodded towards Sun momo before saying: “Many thanks for mother’s concerns. At the nunnery, Jiang Lî also keeps thinking of mother, not being able to wait by mother’s side and be filial, it was my fault and regret. Now, finally able to go back home, mother’s kind intentions, Jiang Lî doesn’t dare to forget. In this life, I certainly will think of ways to repay her.”
Her voice as she was speaking was soft and meek. Yet, as Sun momo listened to her, she didn’t know why she felt goosebumps on her arms. As if there was an unexpected chilliness in the scorching summertime of the sixth month. Remaining calm and collected, she brushed away the thoughts in her mind.
Sun momo was dumb for a moment.
It was Yu Xiang who broke the silence. With a smile, Yu Xiang spoke: “Since this was the case, it’s a wonderful thing that Jiang second miss can return to the capital. Dare to ask momo, when do you plan to depart with second miss?”
Sun momo finally paid attention to Yu Xiang and asked after her: “This is…….”
“This servant’s madam is Madam Liu from Minister Chengde residence,” Yu Xiang smilingly replied: “Our residence’s Madam felt distressed with Jiang second miss. Actually, at the time, she wanted to bring Jiang second miss back to Yanjing together, however, Jiang second miss wasn’t willing. So, Madam let this servant stay and take care of Jiang second miss.”
The personal servant girl of Madam Liu from the Minister Chengde residence was unexpectedly left here to serve Jiang Lî. When did Jiang Lî become so close to the Madam of Minister Chengde? Sun momo had doubts, however, her mouth replied: “Of course Madam wishes that second miss could return as soon as possible. We will wait for second miss to pack up her things and then we can immediately set off.”
“So it’s like that,” Jiang Lî raised the corner of her mouth, “Just nice, we can set off now then.”
When these words came out, the surrounding people were stunned, including those servants beside the carriages. Sun momo covered the scorn in her eyes and said: “Second miss doesn’t have to be so impatient. Madam has already ordered for second miss to have to return to the residence, there is no need…….”
“I’m not impatient,” Jiang Lî interrupted her words, “rather, there is nothing to pack.”
Sun momo was stunned.
“I don’t have any luggage, just the luggage that was brought here at that time. It has been six years, momo should not think that there are still anything that remains, right? It’s not as if momo doesn’t know, I wasn’t permitted to bring whatever gold and silver or jewelry, only bringing a few pieces of clothing. I haven’t been able to wear those clothes since long ago. In the entire nunnery, the only thing that I have is just Tong’er. It’s enough just bringing Tong’er back. As for those wooden stools, bowls, and chopsticks……. Could it be the chief assistant residence still needs them? If so, I will let Tong’er pack them up.”
Sun momo’s face “teng” immediately turned red.
In front of Yu Xiang, these words of Jiang Lî, didn’t it imply that the chief assistant residence had mistreated this di daughter? Foolishly staying in the mountain for six years, without any valuable things to use and without a penny. Now that she was leaving, not a single luggage needed to be packed and brought. Even her, a lowly person, still had a few pieces of jewelry.
Yu Xiang’s master, Chengde Minister Liu Yuan Feng, was on disagreeable terms with Madam Ji’s family. If these matters were to be known, who knew what kinds of issue would be raised!
Sun momo saw Jiang Lî earnestly looking at her as if she didn’t understand that the words just now contained a deep meaning of mocking.
In a split second, Sun momo felt problematic.
This second miss who had left Jiang residence for six years really wasn’t what the letter said, impulsive and brainless. Instead, she was gentle and courteous, yet wouldn’t be easily pleased by people.
Sun momo squeezed out a smile with difficulty and spoke: “All right then, second miss, allow these bodyguards to rest and drink tea for a while, then we can set off right away.”
Jiang Lî smiled gratefully: “Many thanks, momo.”
