Old Madam Ye looked at Jiang Li with a mix of relief and heartache, saying, "Girl, for someone as young as you to think of such things, it's evident that life in the Jiang Family must have been very difficult. It's our Ye Family who has let you down. If only I had been more insistent back then, and taken you back to Xiangyang, you wouldn't have had to suffer these grievances."
Jiang Li's intelligence was acknowledged by everyone, but her capricious and willful nature in those years was also well known. The transition from a spoilt young lady to a skilled and strategic one could only be attributed to the demands of life. Jiang Li also had her stepmother and stepsisters and now even Jiang Bingji to contend with, so her days were certainly not easy. Intelligence, too, came at a price.
Jiang Li smiled and held Old Madam Ye's hand, saying, "I haven't been wronged, and my life with the Jiang family was not too bad."
