Chapter 44 Part 1 - Instigation (1/2)

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.”
