Chapter 495 - 153 Xiao Hong_4
She noticed that Princess Yongning was not among the crowd. However, no one here dared to inquire about Princess Yongning’s whereabouts, and where she went was even more beyond their control. Jiang Li knew that Princess Yongning was probably with Shen Yurong at this moment. Having finally found such an opportunity, she naturally wanted to pour out her innermost feelings. But based on Jiang Li’s understanding of Shen Yurong, she feared that seeing Princess Yongning would cause more annoyance than joy, more disgust than happiness.
Speaking of which, Jih Heng and Shen Yurong were two entirely different people—one loved to watch plays, while the other excelled in performing them. It seemed that the former was too indifferent, while the latter was too sentimental. But Jiang Li felt that she would rather face the detachment of a spectator than be deceived by an actor.
Whether it was joy or sorrow, reunions or separations, one had no control over them and they became the butt of jokes for others to see.

Liu Xu nudged her and frowned, asking, "Why does Shen Ruyun keep looking at you?"
Jiang Li was startled, and looked toward Shen Ruyun, just in time to catch Shen Ruyun’s undisguised look of loathing. She understood and said, "It’s probably because of my fifth sister."
Shen Ruyun was soon to marry Zhou Yanbang, but before that happened, Jiang Yue had already entered the Zhou family’s doors. With Shen Ruyun’s nature of not tolerating any flaws, she undoubtedly wanted to teach Jiang Yue a lesson. Seeing Jiang Li and thinking of her also as a Miss of the Jiang Family, she lumped Jiang Li in with her hatred as well. Of course, there might also be resentment because Jiang Li had a prior marriage arrangement with Zhou Yanbang.
"She’s truly insane," Liu Xu said. "What does Jiang Yue’s matter have to do with you? Everyone in Mingyi Hall knows that you don’t get along with Jiang Yue. She’s really fond of making arbitrary connections."
