Chapter 88: Part 1: Empathy

“I heard that you were quarrelling with someone on the street after school?” asked Old Madam Jiang.

Jiang Li glanced at Jiang You Yao and Jiang Yu’e. These two people were trying their hardest to cover the delight upon seeing the misfortune of others in their gazes. Sure enough, Jiang You Yao and Jiang Yu’e did their utmost to complain and throw dirty water on her.

Jiang Li smiled: “I don’t know where Old Madam heard this from, but the truth is very different.”

Old Madam Jiang spoke: “Oh? Then what’s the truth? Come and say it.”

Jiang You Yao and Jiang Yu’e wanted to speak but didn’t dare to. Old Madam Jiang was a strict madam who emphasized rules. When others spoke, they must not interrupt at will.

Jiang Li smiled: “I’m afraid it would seem unfair if I say it myself. Let my servant girl explain it. Bai Xue.” Jiang Li called Bai Xue to come in.

When Bai Xue entered, she first walked over to Old Madam Jiang and paid her respect. Jiang Li said: “Recount the matter that we encountered today after school to Old Madam Jiang.”

Bai Xue received Jiang Li’s order and immediately said everything from beginning to end in its entirety. Bai Xue’s temper was straightforward and honest. When she spoke she also paid attention to details and never exaggerated. She viewed things from a spectator’s point of view and told the matter as it was, without bias towards anybody.

After Old Madam Jiang listened till the end, she looked thoughtful before asking Jiang Li: “So to say, you are speaking out for justice, not just quarrelling recklessly.”

“I don’t dare to speak out for justice, just tell the truth as it is.” Jiang Li was still smiling as before.

At this time, Jiang You Yao finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said: “Grandmother, the person that second sister helped wasn’t a stranger, it’s someone from Xiangyang’s Ye family.”

Xiangyang’s Ye family, Old Madam Jiang’s expression all of a sudden turned solemn.

It should be known that ever since Ye Zhen Zhen passed away, the Jiang family and Ye family, these in-laws, had less dealings with each other. Moreover, after Jiang Yuan Bai took Ji Shuran as his wife and became in-laws with the Ji family, the contact with the Ye family was almost broken off. Originally the Ye family and the Jiang family still had an unbreakable connection, which was Jiang Li. But many years ago Jiang Li vowed, not willing to be associated with merchants. The Ye family was heart-broken and no longer had any dealings with the Jiang family.

Ji Shuran opened her mouth to speak: “You Yao, don’t talk nonsense. You’ve never met anybody from the Ye family. How do you know that the person is from Xiangyang’s Ye family?”

“I heard it with my own ears, there’s also fourth sister and fifth sister,” Jiang You Yao hurriedly explained, “that young master was called Ye Shijie, Liu Zimin said that he was a person from Xiangyang’s Ye family.”

“Ye Shijie…..” old madam Jiang muttered to herself before looking at Jiang Li: “He should be the Ye family’s main branch’s son. Your eldest cousin.”

Only then did Jiang Li know, Ye Shijie and her had the relationship of cousins.

“Li-er, what’s going on?” Ji Shuran spoke: “it’s only been a short while since you returned to Yanjing, how did you know this Ye cousin?”

This sentence was filled with ulterior motives!

As expected, Old Madam Jiang’s eyes suddenly became sharp, looking straight at Jiang Li. Her gaze was like two knives trying to see through Jiang Li.

Jiang Li had just returned slightly more than a month and wasn’t familiar with the capital. Yet today by lucky coincidence she stood up for her elder cousin and solved his predicament. How could there be such a coincidence on this earth? After the Ye family and Jiang family severed their contacts, they hadn’t entered the capital for many years. This made people find it hard to believe that it was a mere coincidence. Was it possible that Jiang Li and Ye shijie had already contacted each other from an earlier time, perhaps had even contacted each other for a long time already?

This was an absolute taboo in old madam Jiang’s eyes!
