Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 82 Part 5: Attracting Disaster

Those who came today were important court officials, no matter what, they were all young misses from government officials. Shen Ruyun used such a big tone, with Shen Yurong’s identity, without any nobility title, and without the protection of a parent’s official seal, although he was a talented youth, in the end, his power was still a bit weak. There were innumerable children of nobility in Yanjing whose family background was much better than Shen Yurong. However, Shen Ruyun actually felt that they were all inferior to Shen Yurong.

Jiang Li knew in her heart that Shen Ruyun was saying so not because she truly thought that Shen Yurong was terrific. It was rather because in her heart, there was only the royal Princess Yongning that was qualified to be her sister-in-law. How could those cabinet ministers’ daughters compare with Princess Yongning? She unexpectedly naturally assumed that the person who would match her older brother could only come from the imperial household.

In this split second, a wonderful idea suddenly appeared in Jiang Li’s mind.

She was aware of Shen Ruyun’s hidden thoughts. Just like this instance, Jiang Li was certain that the reason Shen Yurong went out to take a breath of fresh air at this time was because she couldn’t find Zhou Yan Bang. Since she was aware of Shen Ruyun’s secret, if she didn’t take advantage of this, wasn’t it the same as letting down their previous life’s relationship as her sister-in-law?

Thinking of this, Jiang Li smiled slightly and came out unhurriedly. She called out: “Miss Shen.”

Shen Ruyun was feeling stuffy and jumped in fright when she suddenly heard someone calling out to her. She turned her head and saw Jiang Li. While frowning, she reluctantly replied: “Jiang second miss.”

Shen Ruyun knew this Jiang second miss and didn’t like Jiang Li both publicly or privately. Jiang Li was Zhou Yan Bang’s former fiancée. This was enough to make Shen Ruyun refuse to deal with Jiang Li. Moreover, at that time Jiang Li still attacked her mother and murdered her brother, it’s best not to have any contact with such a person with a horrible reputation. If it was before, Shen Ruyun would definitely ridicule Jiang Li with a few sentences upon contact. But ever since Jiang Li returned to the capital and was in the limelight after the examinations, her position in the Jiang residence was not as low as what other people thought. Gradually, no one dared to look down on this Jiang second miss.

Even though Shen Ruyun borrowed Shen Yurong’s power to be arrogant, Jiang Yuan Bai was still the Chief Assistant of the court. Shen Yurong was still far behind.

Jiang Li smiled at Shen Ruyun and said: “Why did Miss Shen come out?”

Shen Ruyun replied arrogantly: “Didn’t you come out too?”

Jiang Li was slightly astonished inside. Though she knew that this younger sister-in-law was extremely arrogant and willful, at that time, it was merely her treatment towards Xue Fang Fei. On the outside, Shen Ruyun was very lovable.

There’s a saying “a dog threatens based on its master’s power”. The current Jiang Li could be considered as having experienced it. It seemed that along with Shen Yurong’s promotion, Shen Ruyun’s temper had also grown a lot.

Jiang Li shook her head: “For me, it’s because I drank too much fruit wine and my head was a bit dizzy. Coming out for the wind to blow to dissipate the effect and sober up, that’s all.” She seemed to recall something after, burst out with a “puff” and said: “Tonight is indeed fateful, meeting acquaintances over and over again. I just caught sight of heir Zhou just now. Unexpectedly, now I met with Miss Shen.”

“Heir Zhou?” At first, Shen Ruyun was impatient listening to Jiang Li. Upon hearing “heir Zhou”, these two words, she promptly paid attention and hurriedly asked: “Was it Ningyuan Marquis’s heir?”

“Precisely.”

Shen Ruyun looked Jiang Li up and down suspiciously. Thinking of Jiang Li and Zhou Yan Bang’s former relationship, she spoke sourly: “Your relationship with heir Zhou is not shallow.”

Jiang Li broke into laughter: “That’s not true, nothing else but random encounters. Heir Zhou was about to go to Yu Xiu Pavilion in the East Garden to rest for a while. We just met by accident.” She pointed to a direction, “Yes, it’s over there.”

“ Yu Xiu Pavilion in the East Garden?” Shen Ruyun asked.

“Correct, I see heir Zhou has also drunk a lot of wine. Perhaps he really feels unwell.” Jiang Li smiled and said: “But now I have to return to mother’s side. Miss Shen should also return soon, the wind outside is cold.” After speaking, she bid farewell to Shen Ruyun, turned around and left.

Shen Ruyun was rooted in her original place, looking uncertain, biting her lips all along, seemingly hard to choose.

The servant girl beside her was somewhat afraid, she whispered: “Miss, now.......”

“Go, let’s go to Yu Xiu Pavilion in the east garden.” Shen Ruyun made a firm resolution.

“Miss, it’s not good like this.” The servant girl still spoke somewhat appropriately.

“What’s not good! I’ll merely go over by coincidence and meet him by accident!” Shen Ruyun shouted in a stern voice and immediately brought the servant girl to walk in the direction of the east garden’s Yu Xiu Pavilion.

After the master and servant walked away, inside the garden, Jiang Li came out from the cluster of Chinese roses.

Shen Ruyun was really infatuated.
