Chapter 64 Part 1: (1/2)
The smile on Ji Shuran’s face stiffened.
Jiang You Yao opened her mouth to speak, unable to endure and blurted out: “What did you say?”
Her voice was somewhat piercing and was panic-stricken.
“Probably misheard.” Jiang Yu’e felt unbelievable from the bottom of her heart and shook her head. As if by doing this she could persuade herself and said: “You’ve certainly misheard…….”
It’s still Lu-shi who first reacted. Her smile immediately bloomed and she said: “If I didn’t hear wrongly just now, Li-er is ranked first?” She shot a glance at Ji Shuran’s frozen smile, a slight glee flashed in her heart.
Since an earlier time, she was already rather dissatisfied with Ji Shuran. Ji Shuran relied on the Vice Imperial Censor, Ji Yan Lin’s promotion the past years and her weight had increasingly become bigger. Lu-shi was originally a proud person and couldn’t stand Ji Shuran. Moreover, in every year’s examination, Jiang You Yao’s achievements became better which in turn made the two sons from the second branch seem mediocre. Nowadays, a Jiang Li came out, covering the sky with her attack, ferociously pressing down Ji Shuran’s might. Naturally Lu-shi was glad to see it happen.
“I didn’t expect Li-er to be someone with ability.” Without hesitation, Lu-shi inserted a knife into Ji Shuran, “it’s only been a while since she attends Ming Yi Hall and seemingly hasn’t learned all these before. In my opinion, she deserves to be called elder brother’s biological daughter, both have such remarkable literary talent, innately clever ah…..”
Everytime she spoke a sentence, the bitter resentment in Jiang You Yao’s heart increased. The anger from being surpassed by Jiang Yu’e, had now been completely shifted to Jiang Li. Jiang Yu’e is fine, but what could Jiang Li be considered as? She has just attended Ming Yi hall for a few days and couldn’t be compared with the people. Might as well say she is no better than rubbish?
At this moment, Jiang Yu’e was also squeezing the handkerchief in her hand tightly. Just now her whole heart was still delighted, but now her head felt as if it had been poured with ice cold water. A bone chilling cold that penetrated her bone marrow in the middle of summer, making her fingertips feel slight chills. Aside from this, there’s still a deep-rooted unwillingness.
The only thing she was proud of, the only thing that put Jiang Li under her feet, now is no more! Why?!
Old madam Jiang merely glanced and understood, taking each person’s appearance and manner in her sight. She said indifferently: “You see the results clearly, whether the second girl is really at the top of the list?”
