Chapter 12.2 - Jiang Family (2/2)

Ji Shuran frowned: “You Yao, how many times have I told you, don’t pay attention to Jiang Lî. She is just grass. Sooner or later, she will get trampled. You are the Jiang family’s honorable di daughter. Why do you want to bother with her?”

“But…..” Jiang You Yao was not reconciled and still wanted to continue.

“So what if she really comes back? Nowadays, in this residence, the one who controls all matters is your mother, me. Will she get any benefits by returning? This time, it was just her running into good fortune and nothing more.”

“Can mother not let her go back?” Jiang You Yao angrily asked.

Ji Shuran shook her head. If it was someone else’s intention instead of Jiang Yuan Bai’s, naturally she could still play a trick. Let people murder Jiang Lî on her way back to the capital and just say that Jiang Lî’s fate wasn’t good. It was a pity that the emperor showed interest in this matter. If an accident were to occur midway, the entire Jiang family would have to face the consequences.

Jiang Lî not only could not have any accident. She had to be carefully escorted back in style to show Emperor Hong Xiao.

Really making people unhappy.

“No harm,” Ji Shuran coldly said: “Having lived for merely seven years and she already didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth1. It’s also good that she comes back. Once she comes back, I will naturally find ways to pack her up.”

“At that moment, she will feel that her return to the capital is not such a good thing after all.”

I can’t understand how they still hate her so much after so many years without seeing her. Like, really, are they in love with her or sth? There’s nothing that can really justify such obsession, specially for that kid You Yao, she is really just a kid, how can she hate and be the whole day thinking about someone she probably barely remembers?! Wouldn’t it be normal to forget about such a ‘disgusting’ existence after so many years of not being in contact and enjoying a luxurious and frivolous life?
