Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 34 Part 1: Two Birds

Everyone was astonished to suddenly hear Yun Shuang’s name come out from Jiang Li’s mouth.

In the crowd, Yun Shuang was caught unaware by the call of her name. Until she had heard what Jiang Li said clearly, her first reaction was to look at Ji Shuran’s expression.

From across the crowd, Yun Shuang could feel Ji Shuran staring at her as if looking at a dead man.

She subconsciously wanted to shake her head to deny but Jiang Li once again turned to her, looking very grateful, seemingly still wanting to show her appreciation, and said: “Yun Shuang reminded me before to be vigilant with Xiang Qiao. At that time I didn’t believe her very much. Now, thinking about it, I was too conceited. Thank you, Yun Shuang.” She then said to Ji Shuran: “Although mother made an error with Xiang Qiao, Jiang Li gives many thanks for mother’s effort in sending a considerate Yun Shuang to my side.”

Ji Shuran squeezed out a smile. Nevertheless, no one knew what she was feeling at this moment.

It was too late for Yun Shuang to say anything at this time. Moreover, she truly was unable to refute in front of the guests. Xiang Qiao had indeed hidden the ruby head ornament well, however Yun Shuang had followed her closely and dug it out to secretly place it in her room.

Most people on earth suffered the misfortune of injustice. Both Xiang Qiao and her were arranged by Ji Shuran to be the spies at Jiang Li’s side. But relying on her mouth, Xiang Qiao had surprisingly received a lot of rewards from Jiang Li’s hand. Perhaps they might not even be able to obtain those rewards even if they had stayed by Ji Shuran’s side for another 10 years.

Red eyed, Yun Shuang looked at Xiang Qiao even more unfavorably. She overheard Tong’er and Jiang Li’s plan and understood that in order to counter Ji Shuran, Tong’er would prove that Xiang Qiao had replaced the head ornament in front of the guests. Thus, Yun Shuang stealthily placed the head ornament in Xiang Qiao’s room.

Even by doing this, Ji Shuran’s plan wouldn’t work anymore. Then why? Even if Yun Shuang told Ji Shuran of Jiang Li’s plan, Ji Shuran would make another arrangement, she wouldn’t get any credit either, yet it would not hurt Xiang Qiao even a bit. However, following Jiang Li’s plan, Xiang Qiao would certainly die.

In the Jiang residence, there was no way out for a deep, unfathomable mind of a lower person harming the master. In addition, she had messed up the task Ji Shuran handed to her. How could Xiang Qiao possibly have a good end?

Originally, everything clearly fell on Xiang Qiao very smoothly without a hitch. Who would have imagined that nearing the end, Jiang Li’s words would bring Yun Shuang into the abyss.

Yun Shuang’s legs were soft and she almost knelt on the ground.

Jiang Li’s smile became more vivid. Ji Shuran was probably a suspicious person, and her words would immediately give way for Ji Shuran to really doubt Yun Shuang. After all, something that seemed certain was suddenly saved at the end, not possible unless there was a hidden traitor informing Jiang Li.

Naturally, Xiang Qiao would not dig her own grave, then there could only be Yun Shuang.

Up to here, the truth of the matter had come to light. Old Madam Jiang spoke coldly: “What are you waiting for? Bring this servant girl who brought calamity and chaos to the house away, drag her down and hit her to death with a stick!”

Xiang Qiao’s pair of eyes opened wide, her mouth that was blocked by a cloth could only sound “wu wu”. With no other alternative, she could only look towards Ji Shuran. But at this time, how could Ji Shuran talk about their unclear relationship for her. She even so much as urged: “Be quick, didn’t you hear mother’s words?”
