Chapter 44 Part 1: Instigation

 

Jiang Yuan Bai’s intention to send Jiang Li to attend Ming Yi Hall was quickly known to the entire Jiang family.

Lu shi and Jiang Yuan Ping from the second branch were talking about it: “What was eldest brother thinking about How could he think of sending Jiang Li there If Jiang Li was to enter, those young misses attending the school would inevitably talk about her behind her back.

Perhaps they might even bully her.

Then our Jiang family will lose face, right” 

Lu shi was spoiled since birth, Jiang Yuan Pin also had a good temperament and was always all smiles, therefore, there weren’t any apprehensions when they talked.

The first half of her sentence showed consideration towards Jiang Li, but the latter half seemed to be blaming Jiang Li for losing their faces.

It was vague whether her thoughts were good or bad.  

“Eldest brother has his own ideas.

What intention do you have for speaking blindly” Jiang Yuan Ping drank a mouthful of tea unhurriedly: “Our second branch have no daughters.”

“That’s true.” Lu shi pondered before speaking: “If they want to lose face, it’s the main branch that’s going to lose face.

But I see that Jiang Li is not someone who’s easy to deal with.

For how long has she returned to the residence, already able to make eldest sister-in-law be covered in dirt.

She seems to have progressed much more than before.

But no idea how long she can persist.

Ji shi, that person, I have never seen her eating a loss from anyone’s hand before.”  

Listening to Lu shi’s manner of speaking, the relationship between her and Ji Shuran was not as amiable as it looked like on the surface.

“Don’t bother about her.” Jiang Yuan Ping waved his hand: “The world is at peace.”

In Wanfeng Hall, old madam Jiang was also in the middle of discussing this matter with Jiang Yuan Bai.

“Yuan Bai, in the end, what were you thinking” asked old madam Jiang.

“Mother, Li’er is now 15 years old.

The children of ordinary families enter schools at 15 years old, the crown prince entered school at 8 years old and the children of high-ranking officials enter schools at 10 years old.  Although the time for Li’er  to enter school is a bit late, it is still the same as the children from ordinary families.” 

Old madam Jiang looked at Jiang Yuan Bai: “You know this is not what I’m asking about.

At what age the second girl attends school is not important.”

Jiang Yuan Bai hesitated for a while: “Mother, although Li’er made a mistake before, it’s never too late to mend her ways.

At that time, she was still too young, we mustn’t let the mistake made by the junior affect her future.”

Old madam Jiang lowered her eyes, no one knew what else she thought about.

After a moment, she said: “Since you have made your decision, just do according to your arrangement.

Zhen Zhu,” she called the servant girl by her side over, “Take the four treasures of the study made of purple wood from the warehouse and send it to the second girl.”

Zhen Zhu left hurriedly.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuan Bai loosened his breath.

He continued speaking with old madam Jiang about some matters following the entrance to the school before finally leaving.

After Jiang Yuan Bai left, Fei Cui, the servant girl by the side of old madam Jiang, asked: “Does old madam not wish for the second miss to enter school”  

“If I didn’t want her to, I wouldn’t have sent her those stationery.”

Sending the stationery was to convey old madam Jiang’s support of Jiang Li entering the school.

When the other members of the Jiang family were aware of it, even if they had other ideas, they wouldn’t dare to open their mouths.

“Then…….”Fei Cui was puzzled. 

“I looked after Yuan Bai as he was growing up, he is a deep person.

I was afraid he considered the second girl and thought of using the second girl for something.” Old madam Jiang let out a deep sigh, “However, the current second girl is not a person that could be used by someone.”

“I’m afraid animosity would be born between the father and daughter, causing the residence to not be at peace.” 

Chapter 44 Part 2: Instigation

As old madam Jiang was speaking, in the backyard, Jiang You Yao threw down a teapot. 

Jiang Yu’e looked broken heartedly at the clay teapot.

If bought outside, this teapot would cost 100 taels of silvers.  But Jiang You Yao just broke it like that without the slightest care. 

“Jiang Li! Why did father agree to send Jiang Li to Ming Yi Hall What did she actually say to father!” In front of Jiang Yu’e and Jiang Yu Yan, Jiang You Yao had never hidden her anger.

Jiang Yu Yan at once cowered in fear but Jiang Yu’e went along with her and said: “It must be Jiang Li saying something to eldest uncle.

Jiang Li, this person, is really dishonest.

She hasn’t been back for long, yet eldest uncle’s heart soon leaned towards her side.

Oh, that’s right,” Jiang Yu’e, still wanting to sting Jiang You Yao, continued with another sentence: “I heard grandmother also sent a set of purple wood stationery to Jiang Li.

That was exactly the one that third sister wanted but grandmother refused to give.

Jiang Li is really not simple, don’t talk about coaxing eldest uncle, she can even get the favor of grandmother.”

Hearing it, Jiang You Yao was stunned and immediately asked to clarify: “Is what you said true Grandmother really sent a set of purple wood stationery to Jiang Li” 

“Of course it’s true.” Jiang Yu’e shrugged, “All the people in the entire Wan Feng Hall saw it.”

“This slut!” Jiang You Yao was angry.

She liked that purple wood stationery very much and had asked for it from old madam Jiang several times but old madam Jiang refused to give it to her.

Yet now old madam Jiang gave that set of stationery to Jiang Li.

Wasn’t this the same as openly slapping her face and telling others that she couldn’t compare with Jiang Li! 

“It won’t do, I’m going to look for my mother,” said Jiang You Yao: “We must not let Jiang Li enter Ming Yi Hall!”

“Third sister,” Jiang Yu’e pulled her: “Now both old madam and eldest uncle have spoken, the matter of Jiang Li attending Ming Yi Hall is final.

It’s too late for third sister to speak of this matter now.

My thinking is, Jiang Li entering Ming Yi Hall basically shows she doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.

She must not have thought, how many noble families’ young ladies are in Ming Yi Hall, which one dares to associate with her.

Moreover, her talent and learning is shallow, who knows how much she’ll be made a joke of.

At that time, won’t she be reduced to serve as third sister’s prop and be ridiculed by others”

Jiang You Yao listened and only then slowy calmed down.

What Jiang Yu’e said was reasonable and said: “Even so, she always sways before me, making people unable to endure!” Thinking that Jiang Li might go to the Imperial College across from Ming Yi Hall and do something with Zhou Yan Bang, Jiang You Yao felt extremely uncomfortable.

“Third sister, great plans can be ruined by just a touch of impatience.” Jiang Yu’e said with a smile.

They left after Jiang You Yao calmed down.

Jiang Yu Yan then asked Jiang Yu’e: “Fifth sister, why do you want to instigate third sister to deal with second sister”

Jiang Yu’e sneered: “Who made her overestimate her own ability!”

The third branch’s power was originally weak.

After all it’s the branch from a commoner.

Jiang Yu Yan and Jiang Yu’e were able to attend Ming Yi Hall to study due to Jiang Yuan Xing fawning over Jiang Yuan Bai all the time, thus he got the chance.

Jiang Yu’e was both conceited and had a low self-esteem.

Her heart was higher than the sky and she was determined not to be worse than anyone else.

Her talent and learning was quite superior, in fact, in the entire Jiang residence, the most outstanding one was Jiang Yu’e. 

Without gaining the name of a talented person, Jiang You Yao was the pearl in the palm of the Jiang family.

But Jiang Yu’e needed this reputation to decorate her name.

This was the only thing Jiang Yu’e was proud of.

Rather than competing in talent, holding Jiang Li, this di daughter, under the foot gave Jiang Yu’e a sense of superiority. 

However, now Jiang Yuan Bai let Jiang Li attend Ming Yi Hall.

If this happened, then all four daughters of the Jiang residence were equal.

A person who was formerly worse than her abruptly caught up with her.

As a result, the sense of superiority Jiang Yu’e had was gone and Jiang Li was the main culprit who brought about all these. 

Restoring her sense of superiority was possible if Jiang Li was more inferior than her.

Jiang You Yao and Jiang Li were just like water and fire, just by lightly inciting disharmony, countless contradictions would inevitably occur. 

Jiang Yu’e only needed to aggravate the situation from the side.
