The Double
Chapter 204 - 204 96 Ye San_2

204: Chapter 96 Ye San_2 204: Chapter 96 Ye San_2 The caravan stopped, but there was no guard, just a coachman and a young servant-looking person.

Seeing Jiang Li standing at the door, the young servant looked at her in surprise, then quickly walked towards the carriage and a man jumped down from it.

This man had a small scar the length of a pinky finger on his left cheek.

He wore a blackish-brown short jacket, seemingly with a layer of soft armor underneath, giving the impression of a commoner or a peddler, but the boots on his feet were deer leather, embroidered with golden edges, evidently very expensive.

Jiang Li was startled; this man was the very one she had encountered after seeing Qiongzhi, at the back door of Cherish Flower Tower.

At that time, the man had also looked at her a few times.

She felt he looked somewhat familiar, yet he was definitely a stranger.

She hadn’t expected to run into him here.

Upon seeing this man, the gatekeeper’s servant immediately forgot about Jiang Li and greeted him with excitement, saying, “Master Ye the Third, you’ve returned!”

Master Ye the Third?

This man was Ye Mingyu!

Jiang Li realized, this man was none other than Ye Mingyu, the despicable master of the Ye Family, also known as Uncle Mingyu, who was born at the same time as her mother.

No wonder he seemed familiar but was in fact, a stranger.

She had never met Ye Mingyu, but after all, she shared blood ties with Ye Zhenzhen, which stirred her emotions.

Ye Mingyu laughed heartily while greeting the gatekeeper and at that moment, he saw Jiang Li.

His gaze fixed on her, clearly recognizing that she was the girl he had met at the entrance of Cherish Flower Tower.

Puzzled, he asked the gatekeeper, “Who is this young lady?”

The gatekeeper was extremely embarrassed and coughed lightly before saying, “This is Miss Biao from Yanjing City, Miss Jiang the Second.”

Ye Mingyu’s servant, who was laboriously carrying things towards the mansion gate, suddenly let a box slip from his hands with a loud “clang” as it hit the ground.

Ye Mingyu was also taken aback.

Miss Jiang the Second was his twin sister’s daughter!

It should be noted that Ye Mingyu had been somewhat concerned about his niece he had never met; he was probably one of the few members of the Ye Family who still had any affection for Jiang Li.

When Ye Minghui and Uncle Ming Xuan had gone to pick up Jiang Li, Ye Mingyu was away on business.

Masters Ye had all heard the offensive words spoken by Jiang Li, but Master Ye the Third had not.

Thus, unlike his two elder brothers, Master Ye the Third did not bear a grudge over it.

Moreover, being a wanderer of the martial arts world, he was naturally rough and unrestrained, his heart broader than others.

Simply put, he was carefree and believed that Jiang Li’s age meant her misguided words didn’t amount to much.

If it hadn’t been for Old Madam Ye falling critically ill over the incident, he would have disregarded the objections of the Ye Family and gone back to Yanjing to bring Jiang Li back himself.

Later, as Ye Mingyu frequently sailed with fleets, only returning once a year, he gradually gave up the thought of bringing Jiang Li back.

Now, unexpectedly, here and now, he encountered his legendary niece, nearly doubting he was dreaming.

Jiang Li has come?

How could Jiang Li possibly come to Xiangyang?

She was the daughter of Jiang Yuanbai, the legitimate miss from the Chief Minister’s Family; why would she suffer the hardship of travel to Xiangyang?

And how could the Ye Family have allowed her inside?

Didn’t they utterly loathe Jiang Li?

Yet, this young lady appeared to be doing quite well within the Ye Residence.

Damn it, what kind of mess was this?!

Why hadn’t Young Master Ye the Second mentioned a word about this in his letters?

Was he dreaming?

Ye Mingyu had a thousand words lodged in his throat, but for a moment, he wasn’t sure what to say.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Li actually smiled and said, “You must be Uncle Mingyu, I’m Jiang Li.”

Coming back to his senses, somewhat dizzily, he asked, “Jiang…

Jiang Li, what are you doing here?”

“Uncle Ming Xuan came to Yanjing and stopped by the Jiang Family.

I came back with Uncle Ming Xuan to Xiangyang, wanting to see my maternal grandmother.” Jiang Li glanced over Ye Mingyu’s shoulder, “Uncle Mingyu has just returned, but there aren’t many people in the Ye Residence right now.”

“No matter, they’re not important anyway,” Ye Mingyu waved his hand dismissively and said, “Jiang Li, I’ll go put my things away first then see my mother.

Afterward, tell me what’s going on.”

Jiang Li paused for a moment, Ye Mingyu was indeed unceremonious, treating her not as an outsider.

But this was what she preferred, as she had intended to use Ye Mingyu as a way into the Ye Family since the beginning.

However, with Ye Mingyu’s delayed return, she had no idea what kind of person he was.

Now that she had met him, Ye Mingyu was more easygoing than she had imagined, which was good.

There was no need to go out today.

Jiang Li smiled, “Alright, I’ll wait for Uncle Mingyu in the front hall.

However,” she gave a smile, “I have yet to meet my maternal grandmother, and she doesn’t know I’ve come back to the Ye Family.

When Uncle Mingyu sees her, please don’t mention me.

It wouldn’t be good if she gets too excited and hurts herself.”
