Chapter 317 What Else Do They Want to Steal?

"Jin'er, when did you go out?"

Xiao Qingxuan was immediately worried when she heard that her daughter had returned from the foot of the mountain in the middle of the night.

Jiang Yuchuan is not on the mountain tonight. With the Earth Ranking Conference about to begin, a large number of restless forces are hiding in the shadows, plotting their moves. As the second master of the Martial Alliance, he has an inescapable responsibility to do his best to maintain order, ensure the safety of everyone on the mountain, and guarantee the smooth progress of the Earth Ranking Conference.

Lin Jingxuan rushed over and immediately scolded her two sons: "You two are such a handful! It's fine that you're used to being wild, since you're both thick-skinned and no one will worry about you. But how could you bring Jin'er along to cause trouble?"

Jiang Siying, who came along with them, didn't say anything, but Chen Xinyue's words came to mind.

"Eldest sister, please don't blame me for being petty, but Second Sister has only been back for two days and Second Brother and Fourth Brother have already turned against her. That day I even heard Fourth Brother say that she is his only sister!"

"If this continues, I'm afraid even my eldest brother and third brother will completely side with her."

"But clearly, you are the pampered young lady of the Martial Arts Alliance!"

Jiang Siying knew she shouldn't overthink it, and she also sensed the provocation in those words.

But, knowing that this is an attempt to sow discord, does that mean she won't overthink it?

Before Jiang Sijin returned, she was the only young lady in the martial arts alliance. Although there was a Chen Xinyue, Chen Xinyue was not of the Jiang family bloodline, and no one would even call her the second young lady. Instead, they all called her "Miss Chen".

After Jiang Sijin returned, all eyes turned to her.

Even her own foolish younger brother seemed to have been bribed, only having eyes for his second sister and completely ignoring her, his own sister.

Just then, she heard her third brother say, "Mother, we owe a lot to our second sister this time. If she hadn't arrived in time, the fourth brother and I wouldn't have come."

Jiang Liushuang, who had always only pursued women for pleasure and had little genuine respect for them, spoke with a smile.

His tone was full of gratitude, and his eyes were filled with admiration and an undeniable warmth.

Jiang Siying couldn't discern the source of that burning emotion, but she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Even the third son...

Chen Xinyue, who arrived late, asked curiously, "Third Brother, what happened? Didn't you go hunting today? I remember Sister was still on the mountain this evening, how come she came back with you?"

Her eyes were innocent, and her face showed curiosity.

On the surface, she appeared innocent and well-behaved, but her words intentionally or unintentionally led everyone to think in a sordid direction—how could Yu Zhiyi, who was still on the mountain at dusk, have known that there was danger in a place where the assassin should have appeared in other counties? And yet, she just happened to run into him?

Jiang Siying frowned, her eyes indeed filled with suspicion.

Xiao Qingxuan held Yu Zhiyi's hand and said, "My Jin'er has many supernatural abilities. She predicted yesterday that the third brother would be in danger today, so it's only natural that she would go to his rescue."

Lin Jingxuan glanced at her two sons. Although she didn't know what had happened, she didn't follow up on Chen Xinyue's story. Instead, she asked, "What exactly happened?"

Jiang Liushuang then recounted her encounter with the ghost in the brothel.

Jiang Liubin stabbed his third brother without hesitation: "Mother, you have no idea how outrageous my third brother is. He actually took me to a brothel! I almost lost my innocence today because of him."

Jiang Liushuang looked at her stupid younger brother in disbelief.

Your brother puts you in his pocket, and you kick your brother into a ditch?

Was I trying to harm you, bro?

That's to let you experience the world's splendor in advance!

Unfortunately, before Jiang Liushuang could even offer any excuses, she was dealt with by her own mother.

As the wife of the leader of the martial arts alliance, Lin Jingxuan was naturally not a weak and powerless noblewoman, but a chivalrous woman who could wield a hammer and beat people.

So everyone saw that the dashing Jiang San Shao was being chased all over the world by his own mother, and was often kicked in the backside. Where was the dashing demeanor in the slightest?

"Mother! Mother! I know I was wrong! I will never go to a brothel again!"

"Sister! Sister, save me!"

Jiang Liushuang twitched and ran behind Yu Zhiyi. His tall, 1.8-meter frame shrank behind Yu Zhiyi's petite body, who was a head shorter than him, making him look as pitiful as a quail.

Yu Zhiyi: "..."

Nobody told her that Jiang Sanshao was like this.

The foolish son hid behind his niece, and Lin Jingxuan was too embarrassed to make a move. She could only stand with her hands on her hips and angrily say, "You brat, come out here!"

Jiang Liushuang: "No!"

Yu Zhiyi: "..."

Seeing that her aunt was about to turn into a pufferfish in anger, Yu Zhiyi could only try to smooth things over: "Aunt, today's events cannot be entirely blamed on Third Brother. That female ghost came from a brothel and has quite a few skills in bewitching people."

"She amplified Third Brother's desires, which is why Third Brother, in a moment of irrationality, took Fourth Brother to a brothel."

Jiang Liushuang's face lit up with joy: "Mother, you see! I knew I would never do something as stupid as taking the fourth son to a brothel under normal circumstances!"

Lin Jingxuan just wanted to teach her stupid son a lesson, because she really couldn't understand why anyone would take their underage brother to do that kind of thing.

Now that she knew her foolish son had been bewitched, her anger subsided by half.

As for his other half, it stemmed from Jiang Liushuang's bad habit of frequenting brothels.

Although people in the martial arts world are naturally unrestrained and don't cherish their reputation as much as those in the imperial court, and even find a reputation for being romantic and charming appealing...

But what decent girl would like a rotten cucumber?

If it weren't for his third son's bad habit, he wouldn't be so old and still unmarried.

When the girls heard that he was going to be introduced to a woman, they all wanted to run as far away as possible and refused to agree at all!

However, she didn't need to bring up these things and offend her niece's ears.

"No matter what, thank you for tonight." Lin Jingxuan handed the hammer to the servant beside her and expressed her sincere gratitude.

"If it weren't for you, those two would be dead."

No matter how skilled a martial arts master is, they are no match for a female ghost.

She simply couldn't imagine what would have become of her two sons if Yu Zhiyi hadn't rushed over tonight.

She couldn't bear the pain of losing her son!

Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "You're welcome."

She just didn't want her biological father to experience the pain of losing a loved one.

"No need to thank me."

Lin Jingxuan held Yu Zhiyi's hand: "You child, you're just too modest!"

Chen Xinyue walked to Jiang Siying's side and lowered her voice, saying, "Sister, Auntie really likes Second Sister."

Jiang Siying was already feeling down because of her two younger brothers' "betrayal," and upon hearing this, her distress intensified a thousandfold.

Not only have they already taken away her two brothers, but now they're trying to take away her mother too?

What else does she want to steal?

Is it her father?

Does she only relinquish her position as the young lady of the house before she'll be satisfied?!
