In the past, Yue Qingyang always tried to show his affection to her in various ways, but she ignored him and even took pleasure in belittling and teasing him. The more Jiang Songyi helped him, the more she wanted to belittle him.
But at some point, Yue Qingyang's figure gradually disappeared from her side, and instead often appeared beside Jiang Songyi.
Yue Qingyang said calmly, "If the Second Miss hadn't forced her to take it, the First Miss would have had the chance to spend her childhood with me in the Marquis' Mansion."
Jiang Songyi was a little surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect to hear such blunt criticism of Jiang Yuyao from Yue Qingyang.
"You!" Jiang Yuyao didn't expect Yue Qingyang to be so blunt with her.
He clearly had some feelings for her in the past! Although she didn't take it to heart, the fact that a dog that had been wagging its tail and begging for mercy at her actually turned to show kindness to her after Jiang Songyi's kindness made her extremely unhappy.
Jiang Songyi crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow: "Jiang Yuyao, didn't you go out with Jiang Baichuan? Why are you still staying here?"
If Jiang Baichuan were to meet with misfortune and die in a foreign land, his legacy would fall into my hands.
Jiang Baichuan was leaning on a crutch and walking past step by step with the help of a servant. His legs were wrapped in bandages and blood could be vaguely seen seeping out, making him look extremely miserable.
Just as he was anxiously preparing to seek solace in the main courtyard, he also harbored the thought of finding Jiang Songyi. The prophecy of bloody disaster had cruelly come true, so surely the omen of financial loss should be avoided as much as possible? However, before he could ask Jiang Songyi for help, an unexpected word struck him like an arrow through the heart, causing his knees to jerk.
Could this be the so-called sign of financial loss?
Jiang Yuyao looked a little embarrassed.
Originally, her second brother Jiang Baichuan had agreed to go out with her. She had even carefully planned how to induce Jiang Baichuan to splurge for her.
Ever since Xu took control of the Marquis's finances, her expenses had become increasingly tight, and she was even ridiculed by other noble ladies at the Spring Banquet.
Although the Fourth Prince had solemnly promised to cover all her daily expenses, which made her full of expectations, after Xu sent her past expense bills to the Fourth Prince's house, there was no further news.
Out of feminine modesty, she could not personally ask the Fourth Prince about this. However, during several outings, the Fourth Prince would always mention to her the empty treasury, the floods in the south, and the drought in the north, indirectly suggesting that she should be frugal.
Therefore, Jiang Yuyao turned her attention to Jiang Baichuan. She knew that although her second brother was addicted to gambling, he was very talented in business and his outside businesses were quite profitable.
However, she did not expect that after Jiang Bochuan agreed to go out with her, he would change his mind after Jiang Songyi refused to go with them. He claimed that he wanted to help Jiang Dinglian feed the horses in the stable and suggested taking her out another day.
"My second brother was in an accident while feeding the horses in the stables. He was unfortunately injured and will be unable to go out for a while."
Jiang Yuyao naturally didn't want to admit in front of Jiang Songyi that Jiang Bochuan changed his plan because of her.
Jiang Dinglian raised only aggressive horses in his mansion. I wonder if Jiang Baichuan will be able to escape this disaster.
Jiang Songyi asked casually, "Oh, is Second Brother's injury serious?"
"Luckily I'm still alive."
Jiang Bochuan's voice came from behind her. He limped to Jiang Songyi's front, his face full of grievance and resentment.
He had already believed Jiang Songyi's words, and in order to avoid bloodshed, he did not go out with Jiang Yuyao. However, unexpectedly, even in the mansion, he still could not escape the fate's trick.
"Those horses really made me waste my efforts. I'll go feed them when I have nothing to do. Tonight, I must stew that horse until it is fragrant!" Jiang Baichuan accidentally touched the wound when he was excited. The pain made him frown and grit his teeth, and his face was distorted.
Jiang Yuyao, who was standing by, always took care of her carefully, spoke softly and showed great concern, but Jiang Songyi still maintained an indifferent look.
This made Jiang Baichuan quite unhappy. "Hey, Jiang Songyi, don't you have anything to say?"
He is already in a bloody disaster, shouldn't she care about it?
Jiang Songyi said casually, "Well, when you stew the horse, don't forget to give me a portion. I haven't tasted horse meat yet."
Jiang Baichuan was so angry that his face turned blue. He was about to retort: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating. Will the Marquis' Mansion starve you?" But in the next moment, he heard Jiang Songyi's inner voice.
"If this horse meat is cooked to perfection, I'll be delighted and might even be able to help you resolve this bloody catastrophe."
Jiang Baichuan's heart tightened: It can't be that serious. He is already in such a miserable state, and the bloody disaster has not been resolved. Isn't this really going to cost him his life?
Jiang Yuyao noticed Jiang Baichuan's displeasure and frowned, "Sister Songyi, my second brother is already so injured, why don't you show any concern and instead think about tasting horse meat?"
She thought that with Jiang Bochuan's hot temper, he would definitely get angry at Jiang Songyi.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Baichuan burst into laughter. "Song Yi and I are on the same page. Come to my courtyard for dinner tonight. I'll ask Zui Xiang Lou's chief chef to cook horse meat for you to taste."
Zui Xiang Lou is a restaurant he opened outside. It is doing a booming business and has gathered many cooking masters, including a chef who is good at cooking horse meat.
Jiang Songyi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Jiang Bochuan would actually invite her to enjoy the food together just because of her unintentional words?
Jiang Yuyao's face looked a little ugly. She didn't expect that Jiang Baichuan was not angry with Jiang Songyi, but treated her warmly.
Jiang Songyi wanted to refuse, but she just liked seeing Jiang Yuyao's displeasure. "Okay, then it's settled."
Jiang Yuyao felt as if Jiang Songyi was challenging her, and a wave of unyielding anger welled up within her. She immediately and intimately clasped Jiang Bochuan's arm, her voice tinged with a hint of irritation, "Brother, I also want to taste the premium horse meat you cook at Zui Xiang Lou."
Does Jiang Songyi really think that she can easily replace her position in the second brother's heart?
As long as she acts coquettishly, her second brother is even willing to serve her the delicacies of Zui Xiang Lou!
Adding one more person to the meal was not a big problem. Jiang Baichuan had always doted on his sister, so he was ready to agree without hesitation.
However, at this moment, he inadvertently caught Jiang Songyi's voice with a hint of sarcasm.
[Huh, so Jiang Yuyao drugged the stable just for this delicious horse meat.]
Jiang Baichuan: What?!
He finally understood why the horses suddenly became agitated!
He had originally thought he was just unlucky and had encountered a bloody disaster, but he hadn't expected Jiang Yuyao to secretly drug him. Didn't she know that those horses were his father's prized steeds?
In today's chaos, even if my father were to be present in person, he would probably be ruthlessly trampled by those mad horses.
What exactly is Jiang Yuyao's intention?
Jiang Baichuan's emotions were extremely complicated. In the past, he would never have suspected Jiang Yuyao would do such a shameful thing. However, after repeated verification, Jiang Songyi's inadvertent revelations were all undeniable truths.
Jiang Baichuan couldn't help but recall that Jiang Yuyao was there when he went to the stable to feed the horses today.
