After hearing Jiang Si's instructions, Aya couldn't help but look at Jiang Yi.
In Aya's view, it was obviously a bit strange that Jiang Si gave her orders without going through his master.
Jiang Yi was confused at the moment, and said casually: "Then you can stay."
Jiang Si looked at Aya without saying a word, and Aya gradually became uneasy.
Seeing that the little maid was no longer as calm as before, Jiang Si finally spoke: "Your name is Aya, right?"
"To answer your question, my maid's nickname is Aya."
Jiang Si smiled: "It's a good name. Aya, come here."
Aya became more and more confused and walked hesitantly to Jiang Si.
Jiang Si took out a jade box from his waist pouch and handed it to Aya, saying calmly, "Open it and take a look."
Aya took the jade box and opened it, only to see a fat pink insect struggling to raise its head, its small body twisting and turning.
This scene came so suddenly that Aya screamed and threw the jade box away.
Jiang Si was prepared and quickly grabbed the flying jade box.
The insect in the jade box was actually firmly attached to it and did not fall out. However, the fat insect was obviously frightened. It almost stood up and shook its beard violently at Jiang Si, as if venting its dissatisfaction with being abused by its owner.
The girl's white fingertips gently tapped the insect's back, and the fat insect was finally calmed down. It turned over and lay on its back in the jade box.
For some reason, Aya, who had been staring at the jade box, actually saw a sense of satisfaction in the fat bug's actions.
Jiang Si put the jade box away, then looked at Aya and said unhappily, "You almost dropped my little thing."
Aya's heart sank, and she knelt down to apologize: "I made a mistake, please forgive me, young lady."
"Fourth sister——" Jiang Yi came back to her senses slowly and found the expressionless girl in front of her a little strange.
When did the fourth sister raise such a vicious bug? And just now in the pavilion, the fourth sister knocked out two grown men without hesitation...
The more Jiang Yi thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed.
Jiang Si shook his head gently, signaling Jiang Yi not to interfere.
With her own sister on one side and a little maid on the other, Jiang Yi naturally chose to stand on Jiang Si's side and watch coldly without hesitation.
"Aya is afraid of insects?" Jiang Si asked with a smile.
Aya nodded in acknowledgement with a pale face.
Who wouldn’t be afraid of those round, chubby insects that twist their bodies as if they would crawl onto people at any time!
"Is Aya afraid of snakes?"
Aya's face turned even paler.
Jiang Si raised his hand and squeezed his wet hair, and said calmly, "What a coincidence, I also like to raise snakes."
Aya was completely confused.
She didn't do anything, why did the grandmother's sister seem determined to scare her to death?
Seeing that the time was almost right, Jiang Si said expressionlessly, "Aya, I don't care who you belong to or whether you are loyal to my elder sister. If even a word gets out about my elder sister getting caught in the rain today, then you'd better be prepared to keep company with insects and snakes in the future."
Meeting those two men in the pavilion was totally unexpected, and what they heard meant big trouble, so she and her elder sister must not reveal themselves.
Ah Man is absolutely reliable. As for what A Ya is like, I am afraid even the eldest sister cannot be sure, so let her make the decision.
If you want to control a person's words and deeds, slowly winning their hearts and minds is certainly the best strategy, but in the short term, coercion and inducement are obviously the most effective.
Aya suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Si in disbelief.
Jiang Si reached for his waist. Aya shuddered and said hurriedly, "I will never say anything nonsense!"
Those who didn't know would have thought that the eldest lady had committed murder or arson. It was just a rain attack. Why would she threaten a little maid like that?
"Girl, the hot water is here."
Jiang Si immediately put on a faint smile: "Sister, you can wash it first."
Jiang Yi passed by in a daze, and the comfort brought by the hot water gradually brought her back to her senses.
After Jiang Si finished washing, Jiang Yi immediately sent Ah Man and A Ya away, grabbed Jiang Si's hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Fourth sister, why did those two people mention you? How is the Seventh Prince they mentioned related to you? Also, how did you subdue two grown men——"
Jiang Si was at a loss for words: "Big sister, you asked so many questions in one breath, which one should I answer?"
Jiang Yi calmed down and smiled bitterly: "Fourth sister, my heart is beating fast and it feels like it's being fried in a frying pan. Please tell me what's going on."
What's going on? Jiang seemed to have a slight headache.
She couldn't really explain what was going on. What was the purpose of those two people looking for a woman who looked a bit like Saint Asan to get close to Yu Qi? Did the man in the long gown notice her because he found that she looked like Asan?
Facing Jiang Yi's nervous eyes, Jiang Si regained her composure and gently tied her hair with a soft towel: "Don't panic, big sister. I guess the reason those two people noticed me is probably because of the Seventh Prince."
"But how did Fourth Sister know the Seventh Prince?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "I don't know any Seventh Prince. Wasn't my second brother involved in the Jinshui River pleasure boat arson case not long ago? I went to Shuntian Mansion to pick up my second brother and was besieged by a few playboys on the way. A friend of my second brother saved me. Now that I think about it, that friend might be the King of Yan."
At this point, Jiang suddenly had an idea and realized something was strange.
Now that Yu Jin has been crowned king, people would call him the King of Yan when they mention him, but those two people just now called him the Seventh Prince. Does this mean that they were used to calling him that and never changed?
If that's the case, then those two people should have been targeting Yu Qi a long time ago.
Jiang Yi was anxious when she found that Jiang seemed distracted: "Even if Fourth Sister was saved by the Seventh Prince, why would those two people target Fourth Sister?"
Jiang Yi shuddered at the thought of those two people secretly inquiring about her sister's identity.
"Don't worry, big sister. After they find out my identity, I think they won't act rashly."
Regardless of whether the Earl's Mansion has real power or not, a noble lady from the Earl's Mansion is certainly not someone who can be easily controlled. Given other options, Jiang Si doesn't think that the man in the long gown would use her as an opportunity to get close to Yu Jin.
"Fourth sister, I'm still worried—"
"Sister, sometimes worrying is useless. If I really can't avoid it, I will protect myself."
Looking at his sister's determined and bright eyes, Jiang Si's confused mood gradually calmed down. He frowned and asked, "Fourth sister, how come you raise insects?"
"I discovered this insect by chance because of its beautiful color, so I adopted it."
Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you still raise snakes?"
"No, I just wanted to scare your little maid."
Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank God, my sister doesn't have a snake and is still a normal girl.
"Sister, don't mention what happened today to your brother-in-law." Jiang Si reminded.
Jiang Yi nodded vigorously, thinking of the tragic situation of the two men, and asked anxiously: "Fourth sister, did you beat those two men to death?"
