Chapter 310 How did you know?
Yu Zhiyi put down her chopsticks and looked at her calmly: "Sister has arranged to meet someone at the back mountain. If you don't eat quickly, you'll be late."
Jiang Siying was taken aback: "How did you know...?"
He abruptly stopped speaking before he could finish.
She almost gave herself away.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Lin Jingxuan looked at Jiang Siying with a puzzled expression: "Ying'er, who are you going to see?"
No matter how unconventional martial arts practitioners may be, well-mannered families would not allow their daughters to go out at night.
Moreover, they met in the back of the mountain, a place rarely visited by people.
Jiang Siying gave Yu Zhiyi a cold look before saying to Lin Jingxuan, "Mother, I made an appointment with my friends to go to the back mountain to admire the lights of thousands of homes."
The excuse was actually quite absurd, but she had no other choice.
After all, it's winter now, and the mountains are bare. The flowers and greenery were acquired by the Martial Alliance at great expense and effort, and they were only planted in areas with many people.
Places like the back mountain, where few people pass by, have nothing worth appreciating.
Lin Jingxuan looked puzzled, clearly still somewhat disbelieving: "Really?"
However, since it concerned her daughter's reputation, she ultimately said nothing more.
She planned to take her daughter back to her room later and then question her.
Jiang Siying knew from her mother's expression that she was about to be interrogated, and her eyes were full of anger as she looked at Yu Zhiyi.
However, fearing that Yu Zhiyi might say something she shouldn't, she suppressed her anger.
Jiang Yuchuan and his wife, along with Jiang Liuyi, entered the room one after the other. Seeing that the atmosphere in the dining room was not quite right, all three of them showed puzzled expressions.
However, no one could answer their questions, so the three of them could only suppress their confusion.
The eldest son's family found the meal rather unappetizing.
After finishing the meal, Lin Jingxuan put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "I got two nice bolts of fabric yesterday. Sister-in-law, you can have someone come over and take them back later to make two outfits for Yi'er."
Xiao Qingxuan smiled and agreed.
Yu Zhiyi noticed that Jiang Siying's already unpleasant complexion had turned even darker now.
Jiang Siying didn't want her to get that piece of cloth.
Could it be that the cloth is very precious?
The thought had barely formed when Lin Jingxuan said, "This fabric was sent by my family. It's the kind of brocade that noble ladies in the capital love to use. Our Jiang family only has two daughters, so they must be dressed up beautifully."
The attire of the Great Sheng Empire was very particular and best reflected the strict class barriers, with strict restrictions on styles and colors.
However, the definition of the materials used in clothing is rather vague.
Take Yun brocade as an example. If ordinary people can afford it, they can naturally use Yun brocade fabric to make clothes.
However, noble ladies from official families could tailor many beautiful styles of clothes, while ordinary people could only tailor clothes within the range that they could wear, basically only two or three styles.
Although the Jiang family holds a high position in the martial arts world, they are essentially just commoners.
The color of this brocade is certainly not very nice.
The styles of clothes that can be made are not very exquisite.
Even so, such a precious fabric as Yunjin is a cherished item that ordinary women can only dream of.
No wonder Jiang Siying was so angry.
Yu Zhiyi understood the other party's anger and then readily accepted her aunt's kindness: "Thank you, Aunt."
As he pondered what gift to return, his expression changed slightly when he glanced at the other person's face: "Where is Fourth Brother?"
The aunt's children's palace was dark and gloomy at this moment, especially the area symbolizing Jiang Liubin, which was shrouded in bloody light.
"I received a message from Shuang'er in the afternoon, saying that a bear had been spotted. Being a child at heart, he went with Shuang'er to hunt the bear."
Lin Jingxuan asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Zhiyi stood up: "He is in mortal danger."
Lin Jingxuan's expression changed, her eyes filled with worry: "What happened?"
Just as Yu Zhiyi was about to speak, Jiang Siying frowned and interrupted her, saying, "Jiang Sijin, are you ever going to stop? I don't care how you cheat and deceive people outside, but I absolutely will not allow you to play those tricks on your family!"
She then looked at Lin Jingxuan and said, "Mother, she's a liar. Not only does she deceive people outside, but she also uses such despicable means to attract our attention when she comes back! That's bad enough, but she even dared to curse our fourth brother. Her heart is too vicious, and she doesn't deserve to be our family!"
Lin Jingxuan's face, which had turned pale with worry for her son, suddenly became hesitant: "This..."
Seeing her children's palace continue to darken, Yu Zhiyi decided not to waste any more time and turned to leave.
"Jin'er!"
Jiang Yuchuan and his family chased after them.
Jiang Liuyi asked, "Sister, can you tell the exact location?"
Yu Zhiyi really couldn't tell.
After all, these people were related to her by blood, and she couldn't possibly see through this fog with her naked eye.
Meanwhile, in Yanglong County, dozens of miles away...
Jiang Liushuang, accompanied by Jiang Liubin, was chatting and laughing with several friends as they walked towards a brothel.
They hunted a brown bear today, which must weigh at least five or six hundred pounds.
It was already late, and they didn't want to travel in the dark, so they decided to bring their spoils home the next day.
Now, naturally, it's time to relax.
Upon hearing that they were going to a brothel, Jiang Liubin looked uncomfortable: "Third Brother, let's go somewhere else."
Jiang Liushuang looked at her younger brother's innocent appearance and laughed heartily: "Silly boy, you're about to come of age, it's time to broaden your horizons."
The others laughed and joked, "Fourth Young Master, your brother is right. Otherwise, when you get married, you'll lift the bride's veil but won't know what to do next. Wouldn't that be a waste of your wedding night?"
Jiang Liubin blushed deeply, but still managed to maintain a sliver of clarity: "Third Brother, I wasn't joking. Let's go back."
He hadn't forgotten the danger his sister had mentioned. There was only a little over an hour left until the end of the day, and as night fell, his anxiety grew.
He only felt safe when he returned to Mingshan and to his sister's side.
Seeing the deep unease on the boy's face, Jiang Liushuang understood immediately.
He chuckled: "You actually believe what she said?"
Jiang Liubin nodded without hesitation.
Jiang Liushuang was about to lose her temper with her stupid younger brother: "It's just some silly tricks. It's one thing for ignorant people to fall for it, but how could you be fooled?"
Someone asked curiously, "Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master, what are you talking about?"
Some people with better connections said, "Are you two talking about the Second Miss who was just found? I've heard she's skilled in metaphysics, but I don't know if it's true or not."
As soon as he said this, he was mocked by his companions: "What kind of mystical abilities are these? It's just a trick to fool the ignorant. If ghosts really exist, how come we haven't seen one in all these years?"
Jiang Liushuang glanced at her younger brother.
Although nothing was said, it was as if everything had been said.
Jiang Liubin frowned: "No, after thinking it over, I still think we should go back."
Jiang Liushuang was so angry she didn't want to speak: "If you want to go back, then go back. Today I want to see what kind of danger I will face!"
Jiang Liubin was also angered by his stupid older brother.
But the other party was his own brother, what could he do?
"I'll go with you."
Jiang Liushuang and his friends took it as an excuse to go to a brothel to broaden their horizons. They laughed and rode their horses to Sehang, the famous red-light district in Yanglong County, heading straight for the largest brothel.
As soon as the group entered the brothel, a still-attractive madam immediately came to greet them.
Jiang Liushuang was a straightforward and generous person. He reached into his pocket, intending to pull out a dozen silver notes.
But as soon as I put my hand in, I touched something icy cold.
He took the thing out with a puzzled look, his expression changing slightly: "What the hell is this?"
It was a golden hairpin.
The hairpin was exquisitely crafted and beautiful, and it was also inlaid with a blood-red gemstone.
But he never bought such a thing!
