Chapter 76 Part 4 - Breaking Marriage Contract (1/2)

Yuan Bao saw Ye Shijie’s surprised expression and asked: “Eldest young master, what happened?”

Father and second uncle are going to deliver goods to Yanjing.” Ye Shijie said: “They are already on the road, probably they’ll arrive in about seven days.”

“Oh?” Yuan Bao was stunned and foolishly opened his mouth to say, “then, do we still write a letter back?”

“Write.” Ye Shijie said. However, just writing about his situation would do. He thought inwardly, since father and second uncle Ye were coming to Yanjing, he could be considered having one’s family present to consult on Jiang Li’s suspicions. At that time, they could naturally talk it over instead of him having a headache over it by himself.

With this thought, Ye Shijie felt relaxed at once. In two three moves, he folded the first letter and sealed it inside an envelope before handing it to Yuan Bao. “Send it.” He said.

Yuan Bao received it happily: “Okay!”

……

After the examination ended, there’s no need for the students to go to Ming Yi Hall for the time being and they could rest at home for a few days.

On the second day, Jiang Li’s people stood at the gate of the Imperial College and following Jiang Li’s words, they declared that the wager with Meng Hong Jin was null and there was no need to brood over it.

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Li’s value in the eyes of the people in Yanjing rose again. She had put in a lot of effort for this bet, yet after her success, she didn’t hold on to it and refused to let go. Her heart was wide and she had benevolence, it was extremely hard to come by.

Consequently, Meng Hong Jin had, in contrast, become a joke.

Not only that, because Jiang Li showed an extremely gentle appearance, people started to doubt whether there’s something hidden in the matter of Jiang Li harming the stepmother and murdering her brother. On the account of such a gentle and lovely lady, no matter how they looked at her, she didn’t resemble someone who could do such a ruthless thing.

Moreover, Ji Shuran was a stepmother. This relationship was subtle and the guesses also differed.

These words made their way into Ji Shuran’s ears and her anger wasn’t small. However, as a result, her treatment towards Jiang Li became even more virtuous and devoted, which made Jiang Li feel somewhat ill at ease.
