Chapter 119 Return to Beijing



Mr. Chi was shocked and stared motionlessly at the figure that appeared out of nowhere.

The door creaked in the wind, but he no longer found it irritating. His entire attention was focused on the girl sitting at the desk.

"Jiaojiao, is that you?" Old Master Chi walked quickly inside, but after a few steps he suddenly felt dizzy and had no strength to move forward.

The girl who was sitting carelessly at the desk stood up and turned around slowly.

"Jiaojiao, where have you been? Do you know that your father is worried about you?" After the initial surprise, Mr. Chi's face turned ashen.

The girl blinked lightly, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?" Mr. Chi was very anxious.

In his eyes, his daughter was as naughty as a boy and rarely shed tears.

"Dad, my daughter is dead..."

Master Chi was stunned at first, then he became furious: "Nonsense! You damn girl, do you think you can avoid being beaten by saying that?"

As he spoke, he looked around, picked up the chicken feather duster from the high table and walked towards the girl, but he was stunned after taking only two steps.

Tears of blood flowed from the corners of the girl's eyes and meandered down her beautiful cheeks.

With a clang, the chicken feather duster in Mr. Chi's hand fell to the ground.

"Dad, please listen to me..." With tears in her eyes, the girl slowly recounted her experience.

I don't know how long it was before a gust of wind blew in, making Mr. Chi's thin robe rustle.

The wind was warm, but Mr. Chi's back was covered in cold sweat and he felt chilled to the bone when the wind blew.

When he came to his senses, he found that the girl had disappeared.

"Jiaojiao——" Old Master Chi walked quickly to the desk, but there was nothing there, only a very faint fragrance left.

That's the scent of the perfume my daughter is used to wearing.

Mr. Chi seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned around and walked towards the door, but found that the door was closed.

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao!" Old Master Chi cried heartbreakingly.

Soon, a servant who was resting nearby came over and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"Have you seen the girl?" Master Chi grabbed the servant's sleeve and asked loudly.

The servant looked puzzled: "Master, what are you talking about? Isn't the girl not at home?"

Mr. Chi loosened his grip, stumbled back, and finally fell to the ground, muttering to himself: "No, no, Jiaojiao will not be in any danger."

He found it hard to accept the fact that his daughter was no longer alive, but thinking of the nightmares he had just before he left the house, he began to have a bad feeling.

As if he had thought of something, Mr. Chi ran to the desk again and searched carefully.

This time he found a long black hair next to the inkstone.

Pinching the long hair, Mr. Chi began to tremble violently.

The two men, who had completed their mission, walked on the dark street. Yu Jin asked with a smile, "How is it? Am I more useful than your maid?"

Jiang Si's mouth twitched.

Compared to the maid, he has really achieved a lot.

"Agree?" Seeing that Jiang Si didn't say anything, Yu Jin teased her deliberately.

The work has been done, and they are going back to Beijing soon. It will not be so easy to be together day and night like this again, so of course he has to cherish the opportunity.

"Don't be so self-righteous. Ah Man can make the bed, serve tea, comb hair and draw eyebrows... there are many things a maid can do." In the dim starlight, Jiang Si saw that the other person's eyes were curved into a beautiful arc with bright lights in them.

The young man smiled and said, "I can do it too. I can do even more. Your maid will never know how to do it."

After hearing this, Jiang Si's face suddenly became hot and he blurted out: "Shameless!"

He had said something similar before, but in bed...

Yu Jin looked innocent: "How can I be shameless? I am a man of both civil and military talents, so I am better than a little maid, right?"

Suddenly he noticed the girl's rosy neck, and Yu Jin blinked: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Si was very embarrassed. He glared at Yu Jin and walked away.

Yu Jin hurriedly followed and reached out to hold the girl's hand, but the atmosphere was just right at the moment and he was afraid of ruining everything by being rash, so he had to endure it and smiled secretly under the cover of night.

Ah Si seemed not so cold towards him anymore.

But what on earth was Asi thinking?

The next day, the group stayed in Yanzi Town for another half day.

When Jiang Si heard that Master Chi had hurried out with a few servants early in the morning, he felt relieved and asked Jiang Zhan to go home.

Jiang Zhan was like a bird out of a cage when he left Jiang Ancheng's bamboo board and whip. He was having a great time. When he saw that Jiang Si wanted to go back, he agreed without saying a word.

This trip was originally made possible by Fourth Sister, so of course I have to follow Fourth Sister's wishes.

They stopped and walked a bit on the way here, but went back very quickly. Within a few days, they returned to the capital.

Standing on the bustling street, Jiang Zhan sighed: "Although I was happy to go out and play, I was also quite happy to find that I was going home."

Jiang Si leaned against the car window and smiled, "Second brother must be missing father."

Jiang Zhan frowned: "Nonsense."

When his father saw him, he usually had two choices: either stew meat on a bamboo board or whip him with salt water, but he didn't want to do either.

"Second brother Jiang, I'll leave first and come back to my place for a drink." Yu Jin clasped his fists, then smiled at Jiang Si and rode away.

Jiang Zhan curled his lips secretly.

What does that mean? He smiles so beautifully at the fourth sister, obviously trying to win her heart with his beauty.

Fortunately, the fourth sister is not such a superficial person!

Jiang Zhan glanced at Jiang Si worriedly, but saw that his innocent sister's eyes were following the handsome boy who was walking away.

Jiang Zhan coughed heavily: "Fourth sister, what are you looking at?"

Jiang Si calmly retracted his gaze: "I always feel that Master Yu is quite mysterious, second brother, please don't be fooled by him."

Hearing Jiang Si say this, Jiang Zhan was relieved immediately, and couldn't help but defend Yu Jin: "Don't worry, Fourth Sister, Yu Qige is definitely a good person."

Jiang Si smiled and lowered the car curtain.

You should work hard to save money. If Yu Qi sells out his second brother one day, you will have to buy him back.

After returning to the Dongping Earl's Mansion, Jiang Si and his sister went to Cixintang to pay their respects first. After receiving Jiang Si's instructions, A'man quietly told Lao Qin to go find A'fei.

This time when he went out, Ah Fei never appeared openly in front of Jiang Zhan and others. After getting the news about Miss Chi in Lingwu Temple, Jiang Si sent him back to Beijing first.

May 19th is just around the corner, and Jiang Si needs one of A Fei and Lao Qin to keep an eye on Tofu Xishi, while the other one keeps an eye on the post station. Naturally, these have to be arranged in advance.

On the way to Ci Xin Tang, I met the fifth girl Jiang Li and the sixth girl Jiang Pei.

"Second brother, fourth sister." Jiang Li knelt down and greeted.

Jiang Pei followed suit and said hello, "Fourth sister, you're back. I thought you would come to play with us after you accompanied Third sister back home, but I didn't expect you to go out alone."

"Why is fourth sister going out alone? Is your second brother not a human being?" Jiang Zhan really disliked this sister who spoke in a sarcastic tone and said unhappily.

Although Jiang Pei looked down on Jiang Zhan in her heart, she did not dare to talk back. She rolled her eyes and said, "When we came back, Second Sister and Madam Hou gave us many gifts. It's a pity that Fourth Sister missed them. Fourth Sister, why don't you go to my place later and take anything you like."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "No need, as long as Sixth Sister is happy."
