Chapter 474 - 150 Joy Together_4
Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, thinking of the way Jiang Yuyan looked at Ye Shijie at the dinner table earlier, considering whether or not to warn Ye Shijie. Little did she know that her bashful demeanor caught Ye Mingyu’s attention, who was pleased and said, "You two chat, I’ll go out first." He even dragged Xue Huaiyuan out with him.
Only Jiang Li and Ye Shijie were left in the courtyard, and Ye Shijie felt somewhat uneasy for no reason. Seeing Ye Mingyu leave, Jiang Li felt she had no choice but to speak up, "Cousin Ye, you should be cautious around Miss Jiang the Fourth."
"Miss Jiang the Fourth?" Ye Shijie was startled, "What do you mean?"
"I think... Miss Jiang the Fourth seems to like you quite a bit." Jiang Li said this with some embarrassment, but thinking it’s better to prevent problems before they arise, she decided to spill it all out, "Actually, Miss Jiang the Fourth is quite nice on ordinary days, just a bit timid. However, I’m not reassured. Lately, the third branch of the Jiang Family has been rather strange. Previously, at the palace banquet, Jiang Yue had plotted against both of us, and I always fear the same mistake may repeat itself, them resorting to their old tricks. Although it feels a bit like suspecting the honest of foul play, being a little careful is never a bad thing. You wouldn’t want to be entangled in troublesome matters, right?"
Jiang Li stopped at that, not saying more, but she believed that Ye Shijie, with his intelligence, would understand what she meant. The third branch had a Jiang Yue, and although Jiang Yuyan had never done anything wrong to date, she could still be misled or decide to follow Jiang Yue’s example, or possibly be strategized by Lady Yang.
For Jiang Yuyan, securing a marriage with Ye Shijie was definitely an excellent match. Not to mention that Ye Shijie already held an official post and was bound for greater success in the future, even the wealth of the Ye Family was enough to turn heads. Although merchants were often frowned upon for smelling of money, living within a merchant family, free of worries for food and clothing, was something many people couldn’t even wish for.
After listening to Jiang Li, Ye Shijie said, "I understand, I’ll be careful with Miss Jiang the Fourth."
Jiang Li nodded, then heard Ye Shijie ask, "I heard from my third uncle that you have been quite close to Duke Su?
