Chapter 8.2 - People Coming (1/2)

The gentle madam who had spoken first to Jiang Lî asked, “This miss doesn’t appear to be a person from the nunnery.”

“My family’s young miss is Yanjing’s Jiang family’s second young miss,” Tong’er replied in a clear and loud voice.

“Jiang family?” upon hearing what Tong’er said, several young misses from the other side looked towards them and asked, “Is it Chief Assistant, Lord Jiang Yuanbai’s Jiang family?”

“Precisely!” Tong’er gave an affirmative answer.

“How is it possible?” Those young ladies saw that Jiang Lî’s age wasn’t that big and said hesitantly: “We only know that Jiang family has a third young miss, Jiang You Yao, yet we had no idea that there is still a second young miss.”

“Jiang’s second young miss” when these words came out, the young ladies didn’t have any reaction. Nevertheless, each of the madams remembered, eight years ago, Jiang’s second young miss pushed Lord Jiang’s second wife causing her to miscarry. This matter, the entire Yanjing knew about. However, it had been too long. They had also heard that after the incident, the second Jiang miss was sent to the temple to learn the rules. All these years and she had never returned to the capital. Never meeting her, naturally they couldn’t remember.

They never expected that they would meet her here.

Yet the Jiang second miss before their eyes, Jiang Lî, did not appear like what the rumours said: a malicious person who plotted to kill her second mother. Kneeling in the Buddha’s main hall, with her docile and weak appearance, to possibly harm her second mother, when the words were out, nobody would believe it!

People were always more willing to believe the things they see with their own eyes.

Jiang Lî observed the first madam who had talked to her. She hesitated before asking: “Madam….. Are you Madam Liu from the Chengde Official, Master Liu’s household?”

The madam looked at her distractedly and asked: “Young lady remembers me?”
