Tonger spoke of these events with disdain as she relayed them to Jiang Li, saying, "Those people really have no shame. They still talk about high-ranking officials. When Master Xue had no news, each and every one of them came to persuade our young lady to give up. Now, they have the nerve to want to enter our doors, without even looking in the mirror to see what they look like."
Jiang Li just shook her head and smiled without comment. Actually, there were even more unpleasant things said, but Tonger did not tell Jiang Li. Those people believed that now Jiang Yuanbai was no longer the Grand Secretary and Jiang Li could no longer be considered a noble's daughter, at most she had a cousin who was an official. But the Ye Family was originally of merchant origins. Besides, Jiang Li wasn't a beauty capable of bringing nations to their knees. She would eventually be tired of by Jih Heng. There would always be opportunities to take advantage of.
