Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 124 Part 3: Opponent Surprise! An extra part to celebrate the drama adaptation!! ^^

Kneel then just kneel, Jiang Li also never believed that her return to the Jiang residence this time would be safe and sound. Jiang Yuan Bai only asked her to kneel and did not take the whip out to make her suffer the pain of skin and flesh, so she should be rejoicing.

She was about to kneel when Ye Ming Yu pulled her with swift movements. He roared angrily at Jiang Yuan Bai, “What kneeling, why should she kneel! Listen well, Ah Li, don’t kneel!”

Jiang Yuan Bai exploded in anger, “I am her father!”

“I am her uncle! Oh, because you are her father, you can ask her to kneel. There’s my Ye family’s blood flowing in half of Ah Li’s body, then shouldn’t the Ye family’s words also be heard. I don’t allow her to kneel. What’s more, everyone says that a sister’s child resembles the uncle, to speak of, Ah Li does not resemble you even a bit and resembles me more. Of course she has to listen to me!”

A scholar meeting a soldier really could not speak rationally. It’s not false that Jiang Yuan Bai was the head of the scholars, however, running into a rogue such as Ye Ming Yu, he was rendered speechless.

Ji Shuran looked at Jiang Li and said, “Li-er, in any case, he is your father. Others can’t control you, but your father is in charge of you. Your surname is Jiang, not Ye.”

Ye Ming Yu heard this and turned his head to look at Ji Shuran. Ji Shuran was scared from being stared at by him, took a step back, and moved her body to hide behind Jiang Yuan Bai.

Jiang Li stood out and said, “Father, it’s daughter’s fault. It’s a mistake for participating in the Xue family’s case without letting you know in advance, not returning to the residence first when arriving in Yanjing and instead went to Chang’An Gate to beat the drum and cry injustice. It was an even greater mistake to borrow your name to move the weaving room unit while in Xiangyang and ask their people to investigate.”

Whenever the young Xue Zhao and she made mistakes, they would confess in front of Xue Huaiyuan, admitting their mistakes voluntarily and sincerely. Jiang Yuan Bai could not continue scolding her.

Beside, there’s still Ye Ming Yu at the side watching him like a tiger watching his prey.

Old madam Jiang, who was sitting on the couch, said in a deep voice, “Second girl, talk about your mistakes another day. I want to ask you, you are not related to that county deputy Xue in any way, without any basis, why are you involving yourself in this case? In addition, you brought along so many villagers, heard that you even brought that already crazy criminal to the residence. Are you insane? Doing all these things.” freeweɓnovel.cøm

Jiang Li muttered to herself for a while then said, “Actually, this matter has something to do with cousin Ye.”

Ye Shijie? Not just the people of the Jiang family, even Ye Ming Yu looked over at her.

“I can only tell father about this.” Jiang Li said apologetically. “May I discuss this with father alone?”

Ji Shuran said with a smile, “What matter is it that we can’t listen to….. Li-er, you…..”

“This matter is of great importance, I think it’s better for mother not to get involved.” Jiang Li interrupted her.

Ji Shuran’s smile froze.

Jiang Li became increasingly secure in her backing in her return this time. In front of the old madam and Jiang Yuan Bai, she dared to treat her like this. Ji Shuran clenched her jaw.

Jiang Li looked at Jiang Yuan Bai with a firm gaze. Jiang Yuan Bai paused before saying abruptly, “Follow me.”

A smile burst on Jiang Li’s face, “Yes, father.”

She and Jiang Yuan Bai went to his study.

Other people were not allowed to enter Jiang Yuan Bai’s study. This was already the second time for Jiang Li to be here. Upon entering, Jiang Yuan Bai asked someone to guard the doors and immediately shut the doors. He asked, “So what actually is your purpose? Why do you have to do this? What does this matter have anything to do with Ye Shijie?”

“Father, in the case of the Ye family’s ancient fragrant satin, Master Tang from the weaving room unit discovered that it was someone’s set up for the Ye family. Presumably, you’ve known about this from the letter. The entire family of the suspected drug store was exterminated overnight, cutting off the trails. Despite that, we still found some clues. Father, the people who framed the Ye family are the Right Minister’s Li family.”

“The Li family?” Jiang Yuan Bai frowned. “Li Zhong Nan?”

“Correct.” Jiang Li said, “Not only that, there’s a possibility that Li Zhong Nan is also involved in the Xue family’s case in Tongxiang. Cousin Ye is a newly appointed official in the Ministry of Revenue, he has not yet had a firm foothold in the court, yet the Li family began to target the Ye family. Without a doubt, this is targeting cousin Ye. A stately Prime Minister, why spend so much thoughts on a small official? Father, the Right Minister is not targeting the Ye family but the Jiang family.”

Jiang Yuan Bai said coldly, “Do you know what you are talking about?”

“The Li family and our Jiang family never get along well. Ever since the Li family got close to Cheng Wang, our Jiang family has gradually changed from the past. This point, father, as a court official, and second uncle should know best. It can still be maintained now, but in the long term, our Jiang family can no longer be supported. Now the Right Minister is already unable to hold back and has become restless, don’t tell me that we can still ignore it?”

Jiang Yuan Bai looked at his daughter as if just knowing her for the first time. He knew Jiang Li was clever, but the kind of good at exams and brimming with talents, the backyard struggle kind of acute smartness. While the present discussion about the current political situation could not be mentioned to be on par.

This not only required intelligence, but also structure.

“Cousin Ye also found out about this and asked me to rescue county deputy Xue in Tongxiang. I’m your daughter, handling things using the Jiang family’s name is more convenient. Since the Right Minister has already taken actions, it’s not a solution to always evading, it’s better to strike back. The Xue family’s case is the best weapon for counterattack. Pulling out the Right Minister through the Xue family’s case, implicating him, wouldn’t it be contrary to their purpose?”

She spoke so calmly as if she did not think that this might involve several hundred, or even thousands of people’s interest. Jiang Yuan Bai shook his head, “You spoke so simply, since ancient times, there are too many unjust, false charges to count. There’s just a mere few that could be overturned. You think, how can you reverse the verdict?”

“Father might not know, Feng Yu Tang oppressed the people in Tongxiang, committing all imaginable misdeeds, the people detested him so much. The number of people entering the capital alone at this time was a hundred. His case file was full of loopholes, the evidence was conclusive. The most important thing was, Feng Yu Tang privately mined gold in Tongxiang. This is a serious crime! Without someone backing him, how could he have such great courage?”

“You are too impulsive, the Li family is not that easy to overthrow. This time, you may be able to injure the Li family, but will make him harbor grudges against you. Once he finds an opportunity, he will crazily take revenge on the Jiang family…..”

“Don’t tell me the Li family will not take action on our family if we don’t strike back?” Jiang Li interrupted him. “For example, now, we did not do anything, the Li family used the Ye family to attack us. Furthermore, has father forgotten the result when I cried injustice at Chang’An Gate? In three days time, the Ministry of Justice will conduct a trial with the emperor supervising in person. The emperor is paying attention to this matter.”

Jiang Li said indifferently, “These years, the Right Minister and Cheng Wang walk closer together, doesn’t the emperor take it into consideration? The emperor is also afraid of the consequences. The Xue family’s case involves the Right Minister, thus the emperor attaches importance to it, therefore he will personally supervise it. This time, the emperor is standing on our side. Father, if the Jiang family and the emperor had not had any misgivings, at present, you should be standing by the emperor’s side, right?”

“Shut up!” Jiang Yuan Bai interrupted her in a hurry. “Tired of living, you even dare to say these kinds of things!”

Jiang Li looked at him quietly.

Jiang Yuan Bai waved his hand irritably, “Forget it, go out first. I understand what you are saying, I have to think about it.”

Jiang Li nodded.

She deliberately made the Xue family’s case related to the Li family. Knowing that the Right Minister was Jiang Yuan Bai’s sore point, she muddled the target to confuse Jiang Yuan Bai, obscuring her real purpose.

Because if Jiang Yuan Bai knew that this case involved Cheng Wang and Yongning, he would definitely obstruct it.

But with the opponent being the Right Minister, Li Zhong Nan, his approach might be different.
