Jiang Songyi frowned slightly, and doubts arose in his heart: "Is the life in Yinzhou Garden not to your taste?"
Yue Qingyang follows her like a shadow, and has been pestering her in different ways lately. Could it be that because she poisoned him, he has doubts about her?
Yue Qingyang has always been meticulous and cautious, so he naturally noticed the slight wrinkles on Jiang Songyi's eyebrows. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, outlining an imperceptible arc.
Her concern was palpable.
"On rainy days, the sound of raindrops tapping against the study tiles always echoes. My collection of books has been completely soaked by this relentless downpour. The servants in the mansion... they don't seem to care much, so I can't help but think of asking the Marquis' wife for help to solve the problem."
Yue Qingyang sighed softly as he recounted these trivial matters. Although he did not elaborate, that sigh was enough to make people imagine his helpless situation amidst the negligence of his servants.
In a previous life, Jiang Songyi would have stood up for him without hesitation, helping him to discipline those incompetent servants and solve all his problems. However, now, she just pretended to know nothing and said lightly, "Mother is busy with work, so these trivial matters can be handled by the housekeeper."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them had already walked into the main courtyard.
Jiang Baichuan and Jiang Yuyao were walking out from inside.
Jiang Yuyao's face looked pale, as if she had suffered a great injustice. "Second brother, I don't necessarily have to plead for my uncle, I just want to protect the reputation of my aunt and cousins..."
Jiang Baichuan gently stroked her hair and soothed her softly, "Brother understands your good intentions. It's just that Father and Grandmother have already made their decision regarding Auntie, and we younger generations are powerless to change it. Mother's words may be harsh, but that's just how she is. Don't take them to heart. Tonight, Brother will take you to taste the city's delicacies."
Jiang Songyi's appearance made Jiang Yuyao hold Jiang Bochuan's arm tightly and said affectionately: "Yeah! Second brother is the best to me!"
Jiang Bochuan smiled and almost blurted out "the only one" like he used to, but when he saw Jiang Songyi across from him, he immediately changed his words wittily: "The only sister."
Then he began to listen to Jiang Songyi's thoughts.
I only heard her mumbling softly: [Who cares? ]
Jiang Yuyao was slightly displeased with Jiang Baichuan's change of heart, but her expression remained gentle and tolerant. She turned to Jiang Songyi and asked, "Jindu City is very lively around the Qingming Festival. Sister Songyi rarely leaves the house. Would you like to go out for a walk with us this time?"
Jiang Baichuan frowned slightly, with complicated emotions surging in his heart.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he didn't want to take Jiang Songyi out for a trip.
Every time he left home, he couldn't help but visit the gambling house to gamble for fun. However, Jiang Songyi always treated him strictly like a mother, which made him feel extremely depressed. On the other hand, Jiang Yuyao always stayed by his side, never criticizing him, and even when he lost everything, she would gently comfort him.
"If you don't want to take me with you, then I'm happy to be at peace. You're such a sucker! It seems you're destined to lose money today. Whoever stays with you will be in trouble."
After hearing this, Jiang Baichuan's heart was suddenly filled with shock.
He has confirmed more than once that Jiang Songyi's voice is indeed true.
A bloody disaster might not be a big deal, as long as his life was hanging by a thread. But he was penniless at the moment, and if he were to suffer another financial disaster, it would be a fatal blow! Jiang Songyi must have seen that he favored Yu Yao and ignored her existence, and she must have been angry with him and refused to go with him.
Deep down in her heart, she must still desire to be close to him as her brother, she just needs a suitable step, and as a brother, he should take the initiative to step back.
Jiang Baichuan glanced at Jiang Songyi's face and coughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere. "Songyi, you should come too. We haven't traveled together as siblings for a long time."
Jiang Songyi flatly refused: "I have no interest in traveling with you."
"Sister, is it because of me that you don't want to go with me? Then I can stay and you two brothers can just have fun." Jiang Yuyao spoke softly. On the surface, she was giving in, but in fact she was waiting for the dispute between Jiang Baichuan and Jiang Songyi.
She thought this time would be the same as usual.
Sure enough, Jiang Baichuan's face was gloomy and his tone was cold and hard, "Jiang Songyi, are you waiting for me to beg you?"
The corners of Jiang Yuyao's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile.
Jiang Songyi glanced at him unhappily.
Jiang Baichuan took a deep breath, the omen of impending financial ruin flashing through his mind. He gritted his teeth and said resolutely, "Yes, I am begging you! Sister, I'm back from vacation at the academy. This is a rare opportunity. Please accompany me to relax."
Jiang Songyi lowered her eyes slightly, [As expected, her morbidity was fully revealed.]
Jiang Yuyao's smile froze instantly. She had never expected Jiang Baichuan to be so servile to please Jiang Songyi.
Jiang Songyi glanced at Jiang Bochuan sideways, walked around his side, and snorted contemptuously, "Beg me? I don't even bother to pay attention."
[In the past, I have flattered you and tried my best to please you. Isn’t that enough?]
Jiang Baichuan was slightly startled, unable to catch the murmurs in her heart, and at this time Jiang Songyi had already stepped into Xu's house.
Jiang Yuyao was secretly delighted, eager to see the conflict between the siblings. She was secretly glad that Jiang Songyi didn't appreciate it. "Second brother, you don't have to blame my sister. It's natural for her to be indifferent to me. Besides, she has a close relationship with Proton, so she might prefer to be alone with him."
Jiang Baichuan didn't understand Jiang Songyi's true inner thoughts in the past, and always thought that she was just as Jiang Yuyao said. But now he heard it clearly. Jiang Songyi hardly mentioned Jiang Yuyao in her inner thoughts. Instead, Jiang Yuyao reminded him between the lines that Jiang Songyi had no good feelings for her.
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "Okay, Yuyao, stop imagining it. Songyi doesn't care about you at all."
Jiang Yuyao was stunned.
Jiang Baichuan sighed, "Actually, what she cares about is me."
Song Yi was not as narrow-minded as he imagined. She always cared about her relatives rather than the grudge with Jiang Yuyao. It was just that he disappointed her.
"However, it's not appropriate for her to always be inseparable from that kid Yue Qingyang. It doesn't matter if Yue Qingyang ends up alone, but my sister will get married in the future."
Yue Qingyang, who was following behind Jiang Songyi, frowned slightly when he heard this.
He had always favored intelligent people and had once felt that Jiang Yuyao possessed a similar cunning quality to himself, like a venomous snake lurking beneath a frail and harmless exterior, capable of shifting a thousand pounds with a mere ounce of force, and always hitting the target. This was something he admired greatly.
However, now, he felt that Jiang Yuyao was a bit annoying.
In addition to the Xu family, Jiang Dinglian, Jiang Shu and the three daughters of the Hao family also gathered together.
When Jiang Songyi and Yue Qingyang stepped into the threshold together, Jiang Dinglian couldn't help but frown slightly, and his eyes shot towards Yue Qingyang with a cold look like ice, as if he regarded him as a potential thief.
