The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

Everyone said that the Fourth Miss of the Jiang family is a first-class beauty, but it was a pity that the Duke Anguo Mansion picked this flower.

However, on the eve of Jiang Si’s marriage,...

Chapter 448: No Name Shop

Yu-shi stared at her hand and said, "From a southern Xinjiang woman. One time, I happened to meet a southern Xinjiang woman selling some strange things on the street. I tried to ask her about the insects, but I didn't expect that she really had such insects..."

You was particularly impressed by the insects that could suck human blood.

It can be said that over the years, the image of the insect has been deeply imprinted in her mind.

"Where did you meet the woman from southern Xinjiang?" Jiang Si asked.

"It's on Xishi Street. There's a small shop without a sign at the back."

Jiang Si secretly took note and said to the old lady, "Grandma, my elder sister and I will help you go back to your room to rest. You should avoid emotional ups and downs right now."

The old lady nodded slowly.

Jiang Si and Jiang Yi supported the old lady on both sides as they walked towards the door.

Yu-shi stared at the backs of the three people and suddenly shouted, "Madam, if I am gone, Wen-er and Qing-shuang will have to observe mourning!"

The old lady paused, without turning back, and said calmly: "It is the duty of a child to mourn for his mother."

"But Qingshuang is already seventeen years old. It will be too late for her to get married in three years—"

"A good marriage has no time limit. She will be more sensible when she is older and will not take shortcuts." After saying this, the old lady walked out.

The atmosphere in the hall was gloomy for a moment.

Uncle Su said, "Father, brother, we'll go back first."

Seeing the old Marquis Yining nod, Second Uncle Su breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away with Xu.

Suddenly, only the old Marquis Yining, Uncle Su, Jiang Zhan, three generations, and the distraught You were left.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Old Marquis Yining frowned as he looked at his grandson.

Jiang Zhan said confidently, "I want to hear how my grandfather and uncle deal with the murderer who killed my grandmother and my mother before I leave."

The old Marquis of Yining placed his pipe on the table and said coldly, "Just listen to your grandmother."

You looked at Uncle Su blankly.

Uncle Su looked away silently.

Humans are not plants or trees. It is impossible for a couple who have been together for so many years to have no feelings for each other. However, no matter how much love they have, it cannot outweigh the sin of this vicious woman who harmed her mother and sister.

To pay for one's crime is what my mother wanted, and it is also the law of nature.

Uncle Su looked out the window and saw a lone goose flying across the sky.

He sighed softly.

Jiang Si helped the old lady into the house, walked to the window and opened it.

A cool breeze blew in, dispelling the faint smell of medicine in the room.

The old lady slowly sat down along the edge of the bed, and Jiang Yi took the pillow and placed it behind her.

"Grandma, please take a rest. Don't let your anger get you in trouble."

After listening to Jiang Yi's advice, the old lady smiled bitterly: "I never thought that Youshi would become like this!"

Jiang Si pursed his lips.

Once you start something, you can't stop.

Yu Shi was instructed by Princess Rongyang to kill her mother so easily, without anyone noticing for many years. When someone else's existence threatens her, she will easily choose the easiest way - to get rid of that person in the same way.

She felt the same way. Once she experienced the joy of revenge, she could no longer tolerate those people fooling around.

Taking it slow and steady was just an excuse to deceive herself and others; she preferred to take revenge immediately.

"Your mother is a miserable person--" The old lady's eyes were wet.

Jiang Yi raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

The old lady looked at Jiang Si.

In her eyes, this granddaughter was too calm, so calm that she couldn't see through her.

"Si'er, tell grandma the truth, what happened on the birthday banquet last year?"

Jiang Si was silent for a moment, then said, "My second cousin stopped me because my cousin Qingxue deliberately led him to the pavilion, and Qingxue was instructed by Youshi, who wanted me to marry my second cousin..."

"This vicious woman deserves to die!" The old lady was so angry that her chest heaved.

Jiang Yi was so scared that she patted the old lady's back.

Jiang Si nodded slightly: "Grandma is right, this vicious woman deserves death!"

"Fourth sister, please stop talking." Jiang Yi was worried about the old lady's health and gave Jiang Si a wink.

Jiang Si reached out and held the old lady's arm, pressing his face against it.

The person who was cold and strong just now turned into a delicate girl in the blink of an eye.

Her voice became softer: "Grandmother, it would be a shame if you got sick because of Youshi. You should be happy instead."

"Happy?"

"Yes, although what Youshi did made you feel disappointed and angry, if her crime had not been exposed today, my mother would have died with regrets. Those evil deeds will not disappear just because no one discovered them. They will always exist. Only when they are discovered will the evildoers be punished and the victims be relieved. Don't you agree?"

The old lady nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes."

Jiang Si smiled: "So, the person who killed my mother got his retribution, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Of course I'm happy!" After Jiang Si's encouragement, the old lady's depression was mostly relieved.

Coming out of the old lady's room, Jiang Si said, "Eldest sister, call second brother, let's go back."

"Um."

After sending Jiang Yi back to the Dongping Marquis's Mansion, Jiang Si did not go directly back to the Yanwang Mansion, but instead instructed Lao Qin to go straight to Xishi Street.

Princess Fuqing was put to death by the emperor's concubine, and her mother was put to death by Princess Rongyang at the behest of Mrs. You. She has no way of knowing where Concubine Chen and Princess Rongyang got the parasites from. At the moment, the information provided by Mrs. You is the easiest clue to investigate.

The carriage stopped at a place specially designated at the entrance of Xishi Street. Lao Qin walked in front to prevent anyone from bumping into Jiang Si, and Long Dan walked at the end. Although his face remained expressionless, his eyes were constantly darting around.

Xishi Street was bustling at that time. Shops were lined up on both sides with colorful flags flying, and many waiters ran outside the shops to solicit customers.

The group of four looked uneasy, and the voices of the waiters soliciting customers became more enthusiastic.

As they walked, Ah Man burst out laughing and pointed: "Look, our Lu Sheng Xiang staff is also attracting customers."

Xishi Street is a place dedicated to the sale of daily necessities, and shops selling rouge and powder are concentrated here.

Going further, walking along this road that smells of cosmetics, we see more and more types of goods.

This is only the normal time. In the capital city, there is a market every fifth day. It is then that the market is packed with people. You will sweat profusely after shopping here.

Therefore, the ladies from wealthy families never came in a rush to buy rouge, powder and other items.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Si stopped in front of a small shop without a sign.

Different from the bustling other shops, the outside of this small shop was deserted and the door was ajar, making people unsure whether it was open to customers.

Following Jiang Si's signal, Ah Man pushed open the door and walked in.

"Anyone there?"

As Ah Man asked, a woman raised her head and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

Ah Man stepped aside and said with a smile, "Madam, there is someone here."

The woman looked at Jiang Si and her expression suddenly changed: "Sheng——"

Jiang Si immediately realized one thing: this woman knew Saint Asan!
