If all goes well, the evil deeds of the Marquis of Changxing's son will soon become the next hot topic among the people of the capital. By then, Jiang Li and Jiang Pei, who have stayed in the Marquis of Changxing's mansion for quite some time, will be criticized to some extent.

After all, with a brother-in-law like that around, people who are watching the excitement will be able to associate it with other things.

Unfortunately, Jiang Pei didn't understand the deep meaning of Jiang Si's words, and she was still showing off: "Second sister gave me a red gold jade hairpin, fourth sister, do you think it looks good on me?"

"It's beautiful. I'm so jealous that I want to cry. I think you are satisfied, Sixth Sister?" Jiang Si said helplessly.

Jiang Pei finally recognized Jiang Si's mockery and immediately frowned: "Fourth sister, why do you say that? Even if you are jealous of the good things Second sister has given us, don't be so sarcastic. This is not the Changxing Marquis's Mansion, I am not afraid of you——"

Jiang Zhan couldn't bear it any longer and knocked Jiang Pei on the head.

Jiang Pei felt pain, covered her forehead and looked at Jiang Zhan: "Second brother, what are you doing?"

Jiang Zhan rolled his eyes: "Sixth sister, are you crazy? Wearing a hairpin makes you look like a phoenix with hair? It's totally incomprehensible. Fourth sister, let's go."

Jiang Si was trying not to laugh as Jiang Zhan pulled him forward. Jiang Zhan complained, "Why are you still laughing? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Yes, I was wrong." Jiang Si's smile deepened.

My second brother is always so simple and rough, yet it makes people helpless.

Jiang Pei covered her forehead and stamped her feet repeatedly: "Second brother is too much, I'm going to tell uncle!"

The concubine's daughter who carefully tried to please her stepmother naturally knew that her stepmother would not stand up for her if something went wrong, and she still had to rely on Jiang Ancheng to deal with Jiang Zhan.

Jiang Li hurriedly pulled Jiang Pei back and said, "Sixth sister, it's better to have less trouble than more. Let's just forget it."

"Why should I let it go? I didn't say anything, but my second brother is so protective of my fourth sister. It's really bullying."

Seeing that Jiang Pei was not willing to give in, Jiang Li, who did not want to cause trouble, advised: "Sixth sister, have you forgotten that Second Sister said that she would invite us to the Marquis' Mansion in a few days, and Fourth Sister will also go then."

Jiang Pei suddenly lost her temper.

I don’t know what’s wrong with the second sister. Although they are sisters, she treats Jiang like a spoiled brat.

The second sister said that she would organize a flower show next time and invite some noble ladies to come. This would be a rare opportunity to build relationships with those noble ladies, and she couldn't give up the opportunity just because of Jiang Si's words.

Thinking of this, Jiang Pei had no choice but to swallow her anger and thought to herself: One day, Jiang Si will have to look bad!

When the Jiang Si brothers and sisters entered the Ci Xin Hall, old lady Feng was listening to the opera with her eyes closed.

The second wife, Mrs. Xiao, who came to report household affairs, was waiting on the side, and the two of them could only stand there.

The two little girls singing opera had graceful figures and voices as sweet as the chirping of orioles. They were particularly charming when they turned around and flicked their sleeves.

Jiang Zhan, however, looked impatient.

The babbling singing gave him a headache, and he wondered if it would ever end.

After a while, the two little girls sang the last word, and then Mrs. Feng opened her eyes and signaled them to leave.

"Greetings to Grandma."

"I'm glad you're back. It's going to be hot tomorrow, Fourth Girl, especially as a girl like you, so don't go out too much."

"Granddaughter understands." At this time, Jiang Si would naturally not contradict Old Madam Feng.

Xiao was annoyed that Jiang Si had just come back from a short visit to Changxing Marquis's Mansion. She saved her daughter's face and took the opportunity to say, "The old lady has been missing you for the past few days when you were not at home. A mother worries when her child travels a thousand miles away, and the same is true for your grandmother. You should stop running around in the future. If you want to go out and play, go to your second sister's place. Your second sister said that she will hold a flower banquet at the Marquis's Mansion when you come back, so that the sisters can have fun together."

"Second sister is going to hold a flower banquet and wait for me?"

Xiao was stunned by Jiang Si's question: "Yes, your second sister loves you the most among you sisters. Haven't you been good to each other since you were young?"

Jiang Si smiled faintly: "Second Aunt, you are wrong. I treat all sisters equally and I don't favor one over another."

Xiao was furious, but she couldn't bear to quarrel with Jiang Si because of the pleading in Jiang Qian's letter, so she could only laugh dryly to cover it up.

Why did Qian'er treat the fourth girl so differently? I'll ask Qian'er about this when I get a chance.

"Okay, you can go down. Xiao, please tell me the business." Old Madam Feng became impatient and sent Jiang Si and his sister out.

After coming out, Jiang Zhan patted his chest and said, "It's still more comfortable outside. If I had known, I would have played for a few more days."

"Hmm? Play for a few more days?" A cool voice came from behind.

Jiang Zhan's body stiffened as he slowly turned around, forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Father——"

Jiang Ancheng had a dark face and was very angry.

Although he didn't say anything during the days when his two children were away, he was worried about them so much that he couldn't even enjoy his meals. When he heard that they were back, he couldn't wait for them to pay their respects and rushed to Ci Xin Hall. He didn't expect that this little bastard would say this.

Sure enough, my skin started to itch after I didn't use it for three days.

Jiang Si lifted the hem of her skirt and went forward to greet Jiang Ancheng with a smile: "Father, we brought you many specialties. Your daughter has tried them all and they are very delicious."

Jiang Ancheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still had to put on a strong expression: "Just come back, why bring those things?"

"My second brother and I enjoyed the delicious food, so of course we should honor our father. Those things were bought by my second brother."

Jiang Ancheng glanced at Jiang Zhan and temporarily took note of the beating: "Since you are so filial, I will taste it later."

Jiang Si walked back with Jiang Ancheng. Jiang Zhan felt that he was two steps behind. When he saw Jiang Si looking back at him, he quietly gave him a thumbs up.

Compared to his sister, he always felt that he was blown by the wind.

Here the father is loving and the son is filial, and the family is reunited. But when Yu Jin returns to the house in Quezi Hutong, he finds the pots and stoves are cold. He sits on a stone bench under a tree in the yard and starts to daydream.

They had just separated, so why did he feel so empty inside?

"Woo woo—" Erniu came over with his tail wagging, and when he saw that his master ignored him, he put his two front paws on Yu Jin's shoulders and licked his handsome face with his tongue.

Yu Jin wiped his face, stretched out his hand and grabbed the big dog's ear and scolded: "Asshole, who told you to do this?"

Erniu looked nonchalant, wagging his tail, turned his head and barked towards the door.

"What's wrong?" Yu Jin was confused for a moment.

Erniu looked at Yu Jin with contempt, and his big tail almost hit his face. He quickly ran out of the door and then came back, shaking his head and body towards him.

Yu Jin couldn't help but be dazed, thinking about Erniu's intention.

I haven't taken Erniu with me these few days. What happened to it?

"Woof woof!" Seeing that his owner didn't understand what he meant, Erniu slapped the ground with his big tail, causing dust to fly everywhere.

Long Dan couldn't bear to see it, so he boldly guessed, "Master, is Erniu dissatisfied with you for not bringing that girl back?"

Jiang Zhan's smile froze and he stared at Erniu.

Erniu Chonglongdan shouted happily, indicating that he was right.

Yu Jin felt a pain in his heart.

He has been away for so long and still hasn't brought his wife back. Is he being looked down upon by a dog?
