Chapter 76 Part 3: (2/2)

Ye Shijie didn’t know whether he should also write about Jiang Li. For many years, not a single person in the Ye family had ever mentioned Jiang Li’s name. Many years ago, Jiang second miss’s words had thoroughly chilled the hearts of the people in the Ye family and even made old madam Ye seriously ill. From then onwards, the Ye family acted as if there wasn’t any relation with this young lady; including Ye Zhen Zhen, no one dared to mention her name.

In this sort of situation, suddenly mentioning Jiang Li’s recent development should be very abrupt. Ye Shijie planned not to write, but as he was about to put his brush down, he recalled the words Jiang Li had spoken to him.

“I was young then, maternal grandmother was also far away in Xiangyang. Mother had left early, father was busy with government affairs, many things were looked after by stepmother. Whatever I said might have been taught by someone. Perhaps, someone had even threatened me to say these words.”

Jiang Li said that the Ye family was a merchant and wanted to sever the relationship with the Ye family. Was it possible that someone truly incited from behind? So as to make Jiang Li and the Ye family separated and have no more contact.

Ye Shijie discovered that he had already involuntarily inclined to believe in Jiang Li. In fact, he had not met Jiang Li many times; he even only exchanged words with her twice. With the causes from both sides, how could he have such trust in her?

Ye Shijie felt somewhat unfathomable.

But he also felt that Jiang Li was incredible. In her current circumstances where she was neglected in the Jiang residence, she had forcibly let the entire people in Yanjing to remember her name. Not only that, this name wasn’t a bad name. The name made people think that the Jiang second miss was pretty talented.

This was the female who topped all six subjects in MingYi Hall, without any exception.

He lifted the brush, then put it down again, lifted it, then put it down again; this happened several times. Just as Ye Shijie was about to lose his patience, his personal servant boy, Yuan Bao, came in.

Yuan Bao took out a letter from his bosom and spoke joyfully: “Eldest young master, a letter came from Xiangyang.”

“There’s a letter?” Ye Shijie was stunned: “It’s not yet the time for the letter to arrive.” He corresponded with the Ye family through letters every half a month and it usually took a month to arrive. This was usually not the time for the letter to arrive yet.

“It should be Madam and the others who remember eldest young master’s examination time,” Yuan Bao said complacently: “If old madam knew that eldest young master got first place, she would most definitely arrange a huge banquet for three days and three nights in Xiangyang.”

Ye Shijie didn’t pay attention to him, opened the letter personally and read the content rapidly.
