Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 27 Part 2: Raw Jade

Madam Liu, who was at the side, heard this Madam’s words and thought of saying a few sentences to defend Jiang Li. But today, the people who just wanted to follow the harmony were too many. Everyone who came to the Jiang residence today to attend the ritual wanted to make friends with Ji Shuran on the surface. Afraid even if she took the initiative to say these sentences, no one would listen. It might even cause more trouble to Jiang Li.

Jiang Yu’e saw the corner of Ji Shuran’s mouth rise and she was pleased with herself. Their third branch wasn’t very important in the Jiang residence. She was the shu son’s daughter, merely relying on Yang shi and Jiang Yuan Xing, she would never get anything significant in this lifetime. So it was better to faw over this elder aunt. It should be known that in the Ji family, there still was the favoured Li pin in the palace. If she could make Ji Shuran happy, she might still eat a bit of cold leftovers.

Jiang Yuyan was not as shrewd as Jiang Yu’e and just sat woodenly next to Yang shi, who on one side was extremely angry looking at her own daughter’s shameful performance in fawning over Ji Shuran, while at the same time had no option but to let Jiang Yu’e did so.

Lu shi was further away from them and didn’t sit on this side but the corner of her mouth also emerged a trace of a sneer. Apparently, she was disgusted towards Jiang Yu’e’s attitude.

Just as they were talking, the birthday ceremony was about to start.

Jiang Yuan Bai and Ji Shuran got up to stand on the steps located in the East side of the courtyard. The guests stood at the outer courtyard and some entrusted with copper plates stood on the steps in the West side.

Jiang Youyao, escorted by a servant girl, came forward slowly.

Today, to complete the rite, Jiang Youyao was dressed in a wide-sleeved and long-skirted purple ceremonial robe, her hair combed into two knots which made it convenient for it to be pulled out later. She was born attractive and spoiled, the fragrance belonging uniquely to young ladies made all the people at the scene feel beautiful. Since she was young, Jiang Yuan Bai had pampered her which made her even more delicate, just like glittering jewels. Such brilliant appearance immediately made her more distinct among the guests present.

Comparing beauties, Shen Ruyun’s clothes were also bright, but no matter what, she was missing the temperament of a person who had lived like a princess. Also her appearance was still a far cry from Jiang Youyao.

The young Jiang Bing Ji had also come to attend the ritual. Sitting by old madam Jiang’s side, he said loudly: “Third sister is so beautiful!”

Jiang Youyao was delighted when she heard him and a smile came out within a split second. The morning light was shining softly, her smile was bright and moving, extremely tender and captivating, making the people who were looking to be unable to take their eyes off her.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Jiang Youyao saw this scene and was proud of herself. She was even more delighted and was just about to speak when she was suddenly aware of something strange. Those guests’ sight seemed to faintly go past her.

They were looking behind her?

What was behind her?

Jiang Youyao turned her body around with some doubt. Lifting her eyes, she caught sight of a girl walking slowly and gracefully.

That girl came from another side of the courtyard. There were numerous plants and flowers in the Jiang residence’s courtyard and along the way, the girl parted the plants and willows. Yet, without any reason, it made the people feel soft and fragrant.

Different from Jiang Youyao’s bright and colourful dress, this girl merely wore a light duck blue-green jacket. There wasn’t even any embroidery on her clothes, it was extremely plain. Even more contrasting was the head full of jet-black long hair just like ink that was gathered into a bunch using the same colored green jade hairpin.

Her face was spotlessly white, her eyes clear, the corner of the mouth had a gentle smiling expression. She looked clean and bright just like the color of her skirt.

Not bright and colorful enough, yet elegant and transparent. If Jiang Youyao was like a precious stone, she was precisely like a raw jade who had not undergone any carving.

Without any carving, also not necessary to be carved.

Jiang Youyao’s breathing was blocked. Her fingernails nearly dug into her palm.

They were looking behind her.

—— What’s behind her?

——Behind her is Jiang Li

The one they were looking at was Jiang Li.

I don’t know if I want my last exam to come fast and go fast or if I want it to never come cuz I’m so unprepared for it >.<
