Jiang Si couldn't hear anything unusual in Jiang Yi's words, and he couldn't ask any more questions, so he changed the subject and said, "I was just about to ask, big sister, why didn't you bring Yanyan with you today?"

Speaking of her beloved daughter, Jiang Yi said tenderly and sadly: "Yanyan had diarrhea these past two days, so I didn't bring her here."

Jiang Yi has been married into the Zhu family for several years and has only given birth to a daughter, who is now three years old and whose nickname is Yanyan.

"Is Yanyan okay?" Jiang Si didn't dare to miss any abnormality related to Jiang Yi, so he asked hurriedly.

At this time in her previous life, she came to a banquet as the daughter-in-law of the glorious Anguo Mansion. Many people surrounded her and chatted with her, so she did not have the opportunity to chat with her eldest sister, and she did not even notice whether her eldest sister brought her niece with her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Si couldn't help feeling upset.

Jiang Yi felt warm at her sister's concern, and smiled softly, "Don't worry, children are used to being sick when they are young. The doctor said that Yanyan has a good foundation, and she will get better as she grows up."

"That's good." Jiang Si breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Yanyan was fine.

She couldn't help but wonder whether Yanyan's serious illness might have triggered the subsequent series of events, but now it seems that she was overthinking.

At this time, Su Qingshuang came over and said, "When cousin Yi and cousin Si talk, other people can't get in. This shows that sisters and cousins ​​are different."

She pretended to be unhappy, but there was a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Jiang Yi said softly: "No, in my heart, Cousin Shuang and Fourth Sister are the same."

Jiang Yi is a down-to-earth person. Su Qingshuang could hear the true meaning behind her words and sighed, "Cousin Yi, you have such a good temper. Be careful not to be bullied."

There is some truth in the saying that a good horse is often ridden, and a good person is often bullied.

Jiang Yi was also a little puzzled as to why her younger sister and cousin were always worried about her being wronged today. She skipped the topic and asked Su Qingshuang, "Why didn't I see Bao Ge'er at the birthday celebration just now? I noticed that my second aunt didn't look very well either. Could it be that Bao Ge'er is not feeling well?"

Jiang Si's second uncle and his second aunt Xu were married for many years before they had a son, Baoger, who is also the only child in the second wife's family. It makes sense that he would not show up today to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

Su Qingshuang's expression was a little unnatural: "Bao Ge'er is sick. Second aunt must be tired of taking care of Bao Ge'er."

Jiang Yi couldn't help but worry when she heard this: "What disease did Bao Ge'er have? The doctor who often treats Yan Yan is quite good——"

"Don't worry, cousin Yi. Bao Ge'er is getting better soon."

Jiang Si remained silent, observing Su Qingshuang's expression coldly, always feeling that she was hiding something.

This doesn't make sense. Even if Bao Ge'er is sick, why is Cousin Shuang so evasive? Could it be that Bao Ge'er is suffering from an epidemic?

Epidemics are contagious, and it would be difficult to tell outsiders if my grandmother had contracted an epidemic on her 60th birthday.

Jiang Yi wanted to say more, but Jiang Si quietly pulled her sleeve.

Jiang Yisui didn't mention it again.

A high stage was built near the northwest corner of the garden at the Yining Marquis's mansion. After the banquet, a large group of people went to listen to the opera. After listening to two plays, the old lady of Yining Marquis said, "I know you kids don't like to listen to this. Go and play instead of sitting here and feeling uncomfortable."

Jiang Yi sat there without moving. Seeing that Jiang Si was also motionless, she asked in a low voice, "Why doesn't Fourth Sister go play with Cousin Shuang and the others?"

Jiang Si smiled and said, "I'll go with my elder sister."

Jiang Yi pulled Jiang Si up and said, "Forget it, let's go for a walk together. Maybe we can meet our second brother."

Although the male and female guests did not dine or watch the show together, they might all walk around in the garden. These people were at most cousins, so there was not much avoidance.

Jiang Si didn't want to sit here and listen to the opera in the first place. He just wanted to stay with Jiang Yi. Seeing Jiang Yi say so, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Perhaps Jiang Zhan had the same plan, as the two sisters ran into each other not long after they were walking in the garden.

Jiang Zhan couldn't hide his surprise and walked up to Jiang Yi: "Big sister!"

The young man who came with Jiang Zhan saw that the siblings looked excited, but he didn't bother them. He turned his eyes to Jiang Si, nodded and smiled at her: "She's like my cousin."

Jiang Si knelt down and greeted him: "Cousin."

The young man was Su Qingxun, the grandson of Marquis Yining. Although Jiang Si often stayed at the Marquis' mansion in the past, he did not have much interaction with this indifferent cousin, especially after Jiang Si got engaged. The cousins ​​would only say hello when they met occasionally.

Su Qing asked more questions today: "How is my cousin these days?"

"It's no harm to bother my cousin to worry about me."

"That's good." Su Qingwen glanced at Jiang Zhan, and when she saw Jiang Yi was talking about him, she turned her gaze back and said, "If you run into any trouble in the future, don't forget that there is still the Marquis' Mansion. This will always be your maternal grandparents' home."

Jiang Si nodded lightly and said nothing more.

The eldest cousin and the eldest cousin Shuang were indeed nice, but she knew that the eldest aunt was not easy to get along with. In her previous life, the change in the eldest aunt's attitude towards her after she became a widow had already made her realize what the world was like.

Jiang Yi calmed down her excitement of seeing her brother and greeted Su Qing.

"There are a few gardenias in full bloom out front. I'm going to take my cousin to have a look."

The four of them walked forward together.

Su Qingxue walked out from behind the flower stand, curled her lips in the direction the four people left, and said to Su Qingyu: "See, Jiang Si is so warm to big brother, who knows what she has in mind."

"She doesn't have the guts, does she?"

"How a woman's second half of life will be determined by the family she marries into. Jiang Si lost the marriage offer from the Duke of Anguo's mansion, so how can she find a good marriage? If she could marry into a marquis's mansion, she would probably wake up laughing in her dreams. Do you think she has the courage to do that?"

Su Qingyu nodded: "Second sister is right, but eldest brother has always been very cold to Jiang Si, he will definitely not be interested in her."

Su Qingxue sneered and ignored Su Qingyu.

Otherwise, the third sister would be stupid if she didn't think about how cold Jiang Si was to the eldest brother before. A man with a strong self-esteem like the eldest brother would certainly not follow suit. Now if Jiang Si lowers his posture, there is no guarantee that the eldest brother will not be moved.

Su Qingxue thought so, and quickly found an excuse to separate from Su Qingyu and went to ask her stepmother to make peace.

The eldest wife, Youshi, was accompanying the old lady of Marquis Yining to watch an opera. She drank too much tea and wanted to go to the toilet, so she walked out with her maid and happened to meet Su Qingxue who had returned.

"Mother, I have something to tell you." In front of Youshi, Su Qingxue behaved very well and didn't even dare to raise her eyelids.

Youshi had always been indifferent to the two concubines, but she was quite pleased with their small flattery. Upon hearing this, she moved to the pavilion not far away, sat down, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Su Qingxue glanced around, took a step forward and spoke softly.

Yu Shi went from being calm and composed at first to looking gloomy later, and finally her full moon face was covered with dark clouds. She angrily asked, "Did you see clearly?"

"I dare not lie to my mother. My third sister was there at the time."

Yu slapped the table and sneered, "That's really good!"
