The wind blowing from the lake was cool. Even in midsummer, people still felt a chill in their hearts when listening to Su Qingxue's story.

Su Qingxue was filled with hatred.

Everything was going so smoothly. When she found her second brother, he was alone. She coaxed him to Chaoyang Pavilion with almost no effort.

Not long after, the maid sent by the stepmother brought Jiang Si over. She instigated him casually, and the second brother rushed out and pestered Jiang Si.

But she didn't expect that Jiang Si's maid could kick her big second brother to the ground with one kick. Before she could lead people over, Jiang Si escaped smoothly.

But what she could not have imagined was that her aunt came over and said something to her second brother, who then ran to the lake and looked in. Then she watched her aunt push her second brother in with all her strength.

Whenever Su Qingxue thought of that moment, she would be overwhelmed by the fear of suffocation.

She had never thought that her aunt, who usually didn't even dare to raise her head, would do such a thing. She was scared to death at that moment.

If my stepmother knew that my aunt had killed my second brother, she would definitely not let her go!

She wanted to rush out to save people, but she couldn't swim, and even if she could, she couldn't drag her second brother. Her aunt stood by the lake until her second brother stopped struggling, and then she left quickly. The only thing she could do was to escape from that nightmare place and pretend that nothing had happened.

Zhen Shicheng listened to Su Qingxue's story quietly and asked, "Why is Miss Su Er in Chaoyang Pavilion with Mr. Su Er?"

Su Qingxue glanced quickly at Youshi.

Yu Shi listened to Su Qingxue's account of how her aunt had killed her second son. Her originally pretty face had long been distorted, but this glance restored her clarity of mind.

Youshi nodded to Su Qingxue imperceptibly and buried her hatred for the mother and daughter in her heart for the time being.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew very well that the one who died today was her foolish second son. Although she was sad, she was not heartbroken. If it was her eldest son, she would have gone crazy long ago.

Su Qingxue calmed down and said, "We met by chance. My second brother said that no one wanted to play with him, so he insisted on asking me to play shuttlecock with him. I thought it was not good to have so many people on the road, so I took my second brother to Chaoyang Pavilion to play. Not long after, my cousin came. My second brother was very happy when he saw her and ran out. I wanted to chase her out, but before I could react, my cousin left in a hurry. Then--"

No matter what, she couldn't tell her stepmother what she had been told to do, otherwise she would only face death.

In fact, Su Qingxue knew in her heart that her biological mother had killed her stepmother's son. Even if she didn't confess now, her life would not be easy in the future. But it was better to be sad than to lose her life.

At this moment, Su Qingxue regretted her past troubles very much. If she had not reported Jiang Si to her stepmother, perhaps none of this would have happened.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Jiang Si.

Jiang Si was standing next to Jiang Zhan, and noticed that Su Qingxue's gaze turned slightly, with a cold look in her eyes.

Debts must be repaid. Since Su Qingxue schemed against others, she must be aware of the retribution she will receive. As for whether there is someone behind her, Jiang Si turned his eyes and glanced at Youshi lightly.

The loss of a loved one is a severe retribution.

Jiang seems to think that Su Qingyi’s “death from illness” in the previous life might not be so simple, because not long after Su Qingyi’s “death from illness”, she heard that Su Qingxue’s biological mother had passed away.

The reason for this impression was that Su Qingxue appeared at a banquet in a bright red dress, and Su Qingshuang mentioned this to her, saying that Su Qingxue's biological mother had just passed away, and even if she was just a concubine, it was inappropriate for Su Qingxue to dress like that.

Su Qingyi and Su Qingxue's biological mother died one after another. In the previous life, they had nothing to do with each other in the eyes of outsiders. But now that we know the hatred that Su Qingxue's biological mother had for Su Qingyi, the truth that the Yining Marquis' Mansion wanted to cover up in the previous life is very clear.

It would not be nice to hear that the son of the Marquis's family was killed by his father's aunt, so naturally the most appropriate explanation is that he died of illness.

"Prince Su, do you have anything else to ask?" After the case was concluded, Zhen Shicheng asked Master Su.

Mr. Su didn't want to look at the woman any longer and waved his hand.

“Take it away!”

Zhen Shicheng spoke and immediately a bailiff came forward and dragged the woman away.

"Then I'll take my leave." Zhen Shicheng bowed to Master Su and turned around to give Jiang Si a meaningful look.

He also saw what happened today. Someone was plotting against this little girl. He hoped that she would be smart and not suffer any loss.

Jiang Sichong and Zhen Shicheng knelt slightly as a farewell.

Zhen Shicheng felt relieved when he saw her calm and composed look.

He seemed to be worrying about nothing. This little girl always had the ability to turn danger into safety.

Zhen Shicheng took two steps forward and turned back: "Xiao Yu, why aren't you leaving yet?"

Yu Jin smiled and said, "When I meet a friend, I talk about the past."

"Uh." Zhen Shicheng stroked his beard.

The prince wanted to reminisce, and of course he couldn't stop him.

Watching Yu Jin walking towards Jiang Si, Zhen Shicheng even forgot to touch his beard for a moment.

Fortunately, unlike what he thought, Yu Jin walked past Jiang Si and patted Jiang Zhan on the shoulder: "Second brother Jiang, what a coincidence."

Jiang Zhan touched his nose and said, "What a coincidence! How did Brother Yu Qi become a subordinate of Master Zhen?"

Yu Jin pointed in the direction of the gate and said, "Let's talk while we walk."

Jiang Zhan had been too lazy to stay because of Youshi's rude attitude towards Jiang Si, so he was happy to hear these words. He said something to Jiang Ancheng in a hurry and left with Yu Jin.

Jiang Si felt relieved when she saw that Yu Jin had no intention of pestering her anymore.

It's good like this. If you don't get close for a long time, those uncontrollable feelings will slowly fade away and eventually disappear.

Yu Jin walked a dozen feet and suddenly turned around. His eyes passed over Jiang Si's face like a dragonfly skimming the water, and he shouted to Erniu who was lying there, "Come here!"

The second ox raised its head to the sky and flapped its tail so that dust flew everywhere.

It didn't want to leave, and the hostess hadn't even touched its head yet.

Yu Jin didn't expect that Erniu, who was usually quite clever, would be so angry at this moment. His face darkened and he said in a serious tone, "Come here."

Erniu got up reluctantly, but called out pitifully to Jiang.

Jiang Ancheng hurriedly stood in front of Jiang Si and shouted to Yu Jin, "Officer, please take this dog away quickly. It will be bad if it scares people."

Sergeant?

At this moment, Prince Yu Qi's handsome face twisted and he looked at Jiang Ancheng deeply.

Hearing his future father-in-law call him "Officer", it feels really weird.

It’s all Erniu’s fault for looking for trouble!

Yu Jian unceremoniously threw the pot to Erniu and made a gesture to it.

Erniu's eyes lit up.

The owner will reward it with a basin of meat and bones!

But when he turned around and looked at Jiang Si, Erniu was tangled again.

Should I choose the meat and bones or the hostess?

Forget it, there are a lot of meat and bones, but there is only one hostess.

Erniu sat down again as steady as a rock.

Yu Jin really wanted to rush back and kick Erniu, but in front of Jiang Si, he had to hold back and gestured again.

Three basins of meat and bones!

Erniu stood up quickly, looked at Jiang Si reluctantly, and ran over.

Jiang Si: “…”
