Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 130 Part 2: Master

Xiao De Yin was unwilling to concede, but she had to admit that her skill was worse than Jiang Li’s skill in playing the qin. That’s why she was afraid, how long would her reputation as the number one qin player be kept if Jiang Li once again played the qin in a different setting.

It’s unknown whether Li-pin noticed her complexion; Li-pin held the teacup on the table and took a sip. Right at this moment, a palace maid entered and said, “Imperial concubine, Madam Jiang is here.”

Xiao De Yin hurriedly got up, “Then, De Yin will withdraw for leave and will not disturb concubine Li-pin anymore.”

Li-pin did not urge her to stay and said, “Since it’s so then we will chat another day. Hong Zhu, send Teacher Xiao.”

Hong Zhu accompanied Xiao De Yin’s departure. Lu WU asked, “Concubine, why did you bring up the matter about Miss Jiang second’s playing in the qin in the examination? Slave saw that Teacher Xiao’s complexion was not very good.”

“I just want her to feel unhappy.” Li-pin’s smile gradually disappeared. She said, “This person, Xiao De Yin, is the most competitive and places reputation more important than anything else. Jiang Li is so troublesome, with one more Xiao De Yin to deal with her, my younger sister will live a bit better. However,” she sighed, “Shuran should have no way to deal with it, that’s why she came looking for my help, or maybe she ran into something.”

Ji Shuran came in.

When she entered, she first saluted respectfully on the ground. Li-pin asked a palace maid to help her up.

“Third sister,” Li-pin said, “Why are you here?”

Ji Shuran looked at her older sister who looked younger than herself. It really wasn’t because Ji Shuran was not pretty enough, but even though Li-pin was older than her, Li-pin always carried a naive and pampered young girl’s look. This made her appear no different from all the other young females in the harem and even made her more graceful.

Among the three Ji sisters, Li-pin was the most good looking one, the one with the most strong temperament was Chen Ji-shi, while she, because she was the youngest, was the one who was most doted on. Ji Shuran and Ji Chen-shi were the closest, but she most admired this eldest sister. Not mentioning anything else, just based on their age, Li-pin could still dominate Emperor Hong Xiao’s love in the palace.

Ji Yan Lin had decided early on to send this eldest daughter to the palace. Therefore whatever the family ate or used, the best were always given to Li-pin. Ji Shuran was not sensible when she was young, so she always complained about the partial treatment. When she grew up, and Li-pin became someone in the palace the Ji family relied on, only then did she slowly become sensible.

Especially now, she needed help everywhere, but felt that Chen Ji-shi was unable to completely help her. So she requested help from this delicate eldest sister.

“Older sister,” Ji Shuran did not call her concubine, but called her like ordinary sisters. She said, “You have seen the circumstances in my residence. Jiang Li, this girl, is becoming harder and harder to control. I am looking for a way to eliminate her.”

When Li-pin heard this, she shook her head and said, “I could see during the previous palace feast that Jiang Li is someone hard to deal with. Youngest sister, you have been immersed in the backyard for so many years, how could you have ignored her growth until she reached this degree? If it were me, I would not have waited until now to take action. Now this girl’s wings have hardened, it’s not so easy to eliminate her like before.”

“It’s not that I have never thought of eliminating her, but the matter in that year was too sudden.” Ji Shuran said, “Master sent her to Mount Qingcheng, I thought she was merely a little girl and would not be able to make any waves. When she became older, find someone to send her out, and she still could pave the way for Bing Ji. Who knew Jiang Li’s temperament would change so much when she returned, incomparably cunning, even I find it hard to deal with her.”

Li-pin looked at her and said, “You came looking for me now, wanting me to help me eliminate her. Leaving the fact that I’m in the palace, with eyes staring everywhere, if I took on the task to help you, it would only provoke trouble for myself. Moreover, now Xue’s case has just passed, if Jiang Li soon got into an accident, His Majesty would certainly let the authorities investigate thoroughly. You want to take action is not a wise move.”

“Sister, you’ve misunderstood me.” Ji Shuran said, “I naturally know that Jiang Li’s life must not be threatened at this time. However, if it’s a family matter, others should not be able to take care of it, right?”

Li-pin asked, “What’s your thought?”

“Sister, in the palace, you should know many talented people. I found many dubious points after Jiang Li returned to Yanjing. There were no teachers in Mount Qingcheng, how did she have so many skills? Moreover, many times I feel….. I feel that she has become a different person, there wasn’t any shadow of the previous person. You have also heard about the Tongxiang case this time, before, Jiang Li took Xue Huaiyuan to stay in the Jiang residence, attending to him without any regards. Even now, she still goes to the Ye residence everyday to visit Xue Huaiyuan. That attitude, she was more like a father daughter to Xue Huaiyuan than towards our Master. There are rumors in the residence saying that Jiang Li was touched with evil. There are many fox-spirits and demons in Mount Qingcheng, perhaps something attached itself to her body that’s why she became so strange……. I’m thinking of asking my sister to help me look for a person, best to find a talented and famous person to come to our place and drive evil…..”

They were all smart people, with tacit understanding. Without saying things too clearly, especially since they were sisters, they would understand with just a bit of speech.

Li-pin understood and smiled slightly, “This is also a method, but if it is not done well, afraid you can’t convince others.”

“Indeed,” Ji Shuran said, “So that Master is a very important point.” This “Master” must be someone that could make people believe, preferably someone well-known.

“I know,” Li-pin said, “I will arrange this. But youngest sister, you have to succeed in this. Nowadays, there are many people eyeing my position in the harem, if you lose, it will implicate me…..”

“It won’t.” Ji Shuran trembled inside. If it really implicated Li-pin, let alone Li-pin, even Ji Yan Lin would not spare her. Thinking of this, she looked at Li-pin’s lower abdomen, “Actually….. As long as older sister conceives a dragon child, an insignificant Jiang Li will not amount to anything. Master could not protect her even if he wanted to, and there’s You Yao, she does not need to be so confused over a marriage.”

“Why don’t I want to?” Li-pin drew a long sigh, “all methods have been used, but can’t conceive, it’s probably fate.”

… and we are here, one of the favorite plot in Chinese drama…. calling a master to exorcise evil XD
