Chapter 331 - 121 Departure_4
"Jiang Yuanbai?" Ye Minghui frowned, "Jiang Yuanbai sent you to Xiangyang just for this matter?"
"Sort of. It’s because I was going back to Xiangyang to visit my maternal grandfather. My father had other plans, so he sent me to Tongxiang on a trip. In fact, it was all directed by my father. I’m just acting according to his wishes. Once we return to Yanjing, these matters will be overseen by my father himself," Jiang Li laughed, "It’s my fault for making the old madam and my uncles and aunts worry."
Without hesitation, she pushed all the responsibilities onto Jiang Yuanbai. The Xue Family members were not particularly interested in Jiang Yuanbai, and by completely dissociating herself, the Xue Family members became less worried.
Indeed, upon saying this, the Xue Family members looked at each other, and although their expressions were still somewhat concerned, they were no longer as urgent as at the beginning.
Jiang Yuanbai is a sly fox, and with matters of the government, the Xue Family members were in the dark, so they did not ask why it had to be done this way.
Upon seeing this, Ye Mingyu secretly gave Jiang Li a thumbs up in his heart. Being well-read really had its advantages. With just a few words, she had persuaded the family. If he had Jiang Li’s eloquence, he would not have to be urged to marry every year by Old Madam Ye and his brother and sister-in-law.
It seems that being less shrewd means one should read more. Ye Mingyu resolved that he must hire a teacher in the future to learn more about the art of speaking.
Even though the matter was pushed onto Jiang Yuanbai’s head, Jiang Li still had to explain to the Xue Family what the case involving Xue Huaiyuan was all about. However, she did not mention that above Feng Yutang, there was someone even higher up pulling the strings. Hence, to the Xue Family, it seemed as if Feng Yutang was framing Xue Huaiyuan, acting as the county magistrate and committing all kinds of evil.
Ye Rufeng said, "Feng Yutang is really too despicable! I feel sorry for that County Magistrate Xue."
"It’s astonishing that such scoundrels exist in the world," Ye Jiaer said earnestly, "and what’s even more terrifying is that these scoundrels can hold office."
