Jiang Yi is in her twenties, beautiful and dignified, with a faint smile on her fair oval face, looking gentle and amiable.

Jiang Si looked at Jiang Yi steadily.

It seemed that she had not seen her elder sister for several months, but in fact they had been separated for several years.

That winter, the eldest sister was divorced for having an affair with someone, and she hanged herself not long after returning to the Dongping Marquis's mansion.

Jiang Si looked at Jiang Yi seriously.

Jiang Yi now has plump cheeks, relaxed brows and looks relatively happy. She is not like the last time she saw her elder sister in her previous life, when she looked pale and weak, like a frail paper figure that would disappear if the wind blew away.

Jiang Yi had already walked over, took Jiang Si's hand, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few months. Don't you even recognize me?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Yi felt very guilty.

The fourth sister was of aloof and proud character, and had never been very close to her. After the fourth sister broke off the engagement with the Duke of Anguo, she was unable to return to her parents' home to accompany her due to pressure from her mother-in-law. It was understandable that the fourth sister was angry with her now.

After all, it was her fault as the older sister.

Jiang Si held Jiang Yi's hand tightly and said in a sweet voice, "I miss you, big sister."

When Jiang Yi heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Not only did the fourth sister not blame her, she also spoke to her in such an intimate tone, which showed that she had grown up.

A light laugh came from the room: "Cousin Yi, cousin, do you just want to please me?"

Jiang Yi smiled at the girl who was approaching, "Cousin Shuang loves to tease us."

Jiang Si greeted the girl: "Cousin Shuang."

The girl's name is Su Qingshuang, and she is the daughter of Jiang Si's uncle.

The old lady of Marquis Yining had two sons. The eldest son's family was very lively, with two legitimate grandsons, one legitimate granddaughter, and two illegitimate granddaughters. The second son's family was much weaker, with only a five-year-old youngest son.

Although Su Qingshuang is the only legitimate daughter of the Yining Marquis's Mansion, she has a very good temperament. She is always friendly to both Jiang Yi and Jiang Si. Although she is a little cold to her two concubines, she maintains a harmonious appearance.

The cousin that Jiang Si envied the most in his previous life was this one.

Su Qingshuang smiled at Jiang Si and complained, "I posted a message to invite my fourth cousin to come and play, but you ignored me."

Not long after Jiang Si broke off the engagement with the Duke of Anguo, Su Qingshuang sent her an invitation to visit the Marquis's residence, which showed her support.

Jiang Si didn't have time to care about these things at the time, and because her mother had passed away long ago, Su Qingshuang naturally couldn't go to the Bo's house to find her. Besides, the cousins ​​hadn't seen each other for a while.

"I couldn't get over it at that time. I felt ashamed." Jiang Si made up an excuse.

Su Qingshuang blinked: "What about now? My cousin seems to be in better shape than when we met at the beginning of the year."

Jiang Si smiled faintly: "Now I have figured it out. It is not worth it to worry about people who have nothing to do with me. It is better to spend more time with my sisters instead of being sad and depressed."

Su Qingshuang clapped her hands: "Just think like my cousin."

A pink-dressed girl sitting in the corner whispered to the green-dressed girl next to her and sneered, "Did you notice that our cousin-like sister is not as noble as before. She can even say nice things now."

The girl in green curled her lips and said, "What's so strange about this? She has always boasted of her beauty and liked to act pretentiously since she was a child. Later, she got a good marriage like the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, so her heart was so high that it went to the sky. Now that she has fallen from the sky, it's time for her to wake up."

The girl in pink is named Su Qingxue, and the girl in green is named Su Qingyu. They are the two concubines of the eldest wife.

The two of them tried carefully to conceal their succumbency, but it still showed in their expressions.

Jiang Si didn't even glance at this. Many people would take advantage of high ground. Since she dared to come, she must have expected this.

The Yining Marquis's residence was very lively today. Many families with whom the couple had close or superficial friendship had guests or sent their stewards to deliver birthday gifts. Guests who were not considered close relatives only had their meals in the front yard. It was these real relatives who came to congratulate the old lady of Yining in person.

Jiang Si quickly followed the crowd to the hall to congratulate the old lady of Marquis Yining on her birthday.

The hall was bustling with activity. The old lady of Marquis Yining was surrounded by people and sat at the head of the table. The red ruby ​​as big as a dove egg on her forehead sparkled brightly, making her look energetic and festive.

Jiang Si quickly glanced at everyone in the hall, and followed Jiang Yi to pay birthday greetings to the old lady of Marquis Yining.

She was originally just a youngster and played an insignificant role in today's occasion. But when she stood up to wish the birthday, the hall was suddenly very quiet and countless meaningful glances fell on her.

Jiang Yi felt sorry for her sister's situation and couldn't help frowning deeply.

Jiang Siqu didn't care and calmly wished the old lady, Marquis Yining, a happy birthday.

The old lady of Marquis Yining looked at her granddaughter and saw that she did not feel sorry for herself. She smiled lovingly and gave her some encouragement.

Su Qingxue pulled Su Qingyu aside and whispered in her ear: "Look how partial grandma is. Jiang Si and the Dongping Marquis's Mansion have been embarrassed one after another, but she doesn't care at all."

Su Qingyu glanced at Jiang Si who had retreated to Jiang Yi's side, and said disdainfully: "It's not the reputation of our Yining Marquisate that's lost, why does grandma care?"

Su Qingxue chuckled: "That's true."

The banquet began soon, and Jiang Si finally got the chance to talk to Jiang Yi alone.

"Sister, my second brother asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

Hearing Jiang Si mention Jiang Zhan, Jiang Yi's eyebrows curved: "How is my second brother doing recently? Has he gotten into trouble and got beaten?"

Jiang Si couldn't help laughing: "Second brother is still the same."

Jiang Yi shook her head: "Second brother is always worrying. Fourth sister, I can't go back often, you should persuade him more, he is not a child anymore and he should control his temper."

"I will take good care of my second brother. As for my eldest sister, I rarely see her except during the holidays. I wonder how you are doing? We all miss you very much."

When talking about herself, Jiang Yi smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with me, don't worry."

Jiang Sizi carefully looked at his elder sister's expression, and when he saw that she didn't look like she was pretending, he became more confused.

Now it seems that my eldest sister is doing well, so why did such a shocking thing happen in the winter not long after?

No matter what, she would never believe that her elder sister would have an affair.

"Sister, do you quarrel with your brother-in-law? Is your mother-in-law kind to you?"

Jiang Yi was startled by the question: "Why do you ask this?"

"I'm just a little curious. I don't know what it's like to go to a completely unfamiliar environment. Big sister, you don't know, but before I broke off the engagement with the Duke of Anguo, I was thinking about these questions all day. Later, when the engagement was broken off, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief when I thought I wouldn't have to leave the house for a while..."

Jiang Yi felt that her sister's idea was a little dangerous, and shook her head repeatedly: "Fourth sister, it's normal for you to worry like this, but as long as you learn to be tolerant, you will always get along well with others."

Her eyes were full of brilliance: "Your brother-in-law is very good to me. Although the mother-in-law is a little strict, she is not harsh. Yanyan is smart and cute... I am very satisfied with this kind of life."
