Chapter 271 Shelter



Jiang Si had a faint smile on his face and his eyes were calm and deep, giving people the feeling that his temperament was unpredictable.

The girl was a little panicked and cried, "If the girl didn't want me, I would have nowhere to go. In the end, I was sold to a brothel by my lousy gambler brother and ended up with no way out..."

Jiang Si sighed.

So it is not possible to be a good person. Not only do you have to lose money, but you also have to take responsibility.

"So do you need me to find the person who just left and get the golden beads back?" Jiang Si asked expressionlessly after listening to the girl's crying for a while.

The girl's crying stopped for a moment, and because she was crying too quickly she burped, and her face instantly turned red.

She was already certain that the lady in front of her was definitely different from other ladies!

Seeing that the girl was speechless, Jiang Si felt a little better.

Although I have decided not to change my original course for the time being, it is still too uncomfortable to watch the person who framed my eldest sister acting out.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but remind her, "Fourth sister, please say less."

It is not a good thing for a girl to speak too sharply in public. If the news gets out, it will be bad for the reputation of the fourth sister.

Jiang Si understood Jiang Yi's concerns and did not agree with them.

If you have to swallow your anger or even compromise for the sake of a good reputation, then forget about such a good reputation.

The girl turned around and knelt down in front of Jiang Yi again: "Please take me in, Madam. I will do anything as long as you give me a place to stay and food to eat..."

Seeing more and more people coming over to watch the excitement, Jiang Yi was quite embarrassed by the noisy discussions. After a moment's hesitation, she made up her mind: "Fourth sister, if it is inconvenient for you, let this girl follow me. She looks like she will have no way to survive if she goes back..."

A little girl without parents, if she can be sold by her brother once, he will sell her a second time. Taking this little girl in is the ultimate way to save her.

Jiang Si sighed inwardly.

As expected, even though she bought the girl, she still stayed with her elder sister in the end without anyone stopping her.

The girl was overjoyed when she heard this, and kowtowed to Jiang Yi several times: "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam..."

Jiang Yi hurriedly pulled the girl up: "No need to do this, I don't even know your name."

"My nickname is Qing'er. If you think it's not good, please give me a new name." The girl was smart and quickly changed her name.

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Sunny after the rain, it's a good name, there's no need to change it. I'll still call you Qing'er from now on."

Not wanting to stay for long and be watched by others, Jiang Yi signaled Ah Zhu to take Qing'er to the carriage following behind.

"Yiniang, you two should get in the car too." Seeing that Jiang Yi's eyes were still on the carriage behind, Zhu Ziyu smiled, "She's just a little girl. If you like her, keep her in our yard. If you don't like her, just send her to work somewhere else. Don't take it to heart."

Zhu Ziyu's thoughtfulness made Jiang Yi smile softly: "The staff in other places have been arranged, so let her stay in the yard as a sweeping maid."

This one sentence determined Qing'er's destination, and made Jiang Si more certain that Qing'er was the person mentioned by his elder sister in the previous life.

After getting on the carriage, Jiang Si's frown caught Jiang Yi's attention: "Fourth sister, aren't you happy that elder sister took Qing'er in?"

Jiang Si raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yi, but still didn't speak.

Jiang Yi sighed and took Jiang Si in her arms, advising her: "Fourth sister, you helped Qing'er solve a big problem, which was originally a good deed that everyone praised. Why do you have to be so tough afterwards? A family like us doesn't lack food, but Qing'er will die if she goes home. Your kindness will be seen as wrong in the eyes of others..."

Jiang Si frowned and interrupted Jiang Yi: "Sister, is other people's opinion so important?"

Jiang Yi was stunned, and a thought came to her mind: Is it true that other people’s opinions are not important?

This is the difference between the two sisters. Even if she has not experienced rebirth, Jiang Si is not a person of honest character. In her previous life, she was even more willful. However, Jiang Yi has always been a standard lady from a wealthy family, always following the rules.

"Sister, do you remember what I said to you in Baiyun Temple?"

Speaking of Baiyun Temple, Jiang Yi's face turned pale. It was obvious that the place was not a pleasant memory for her, and she would probably not go there again for a long time.

"Sister, didn't I tell you that I dreamed that you saved a snake, but the snake bit you in return..."

Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat: "You mean——"

"It's such a coincidence that Qing'er appeared right after I had this dream. I think this dream must be a warning!"

Jiang Yi was a little bit unbelievable, and murmured: "But it was my fourth sister who saved Qing'er..."

Jiang Si almost laughed out of anger, and said helplessly: "Sister, if I don't show up, who will save Qing'er?

Jiang Yi was speechless after being asked this question.

If her fourth sister hadn't intervened, she would definitely have chosen to save people.

"Big sister, you might as well keep an eye on Qing'er and pay more attention to her words and actions, especially be careful not to be tricked by her." Worried that Jiang Yi would not agree, Jiang Si emphasized, "Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others. Big sister, if something happens to you, Yanyan will be the one who suffers the most."

Jiang Yi nodded: "Don't worry, fourth sister, I will pay attention to it."

Although it was hard to imagine how a new maid could have plotted against her, since Fourth Sister had such a strange dream, she should pay attention to it for Yanyan's sake.

Jiang Si certainly would not relax just because of Jiang Yi's nod. He already had other plans in mind.

Jiang Yi was worried and frowned when she thought about her sister reporting to the police.

"Wait, where are we going?" Zhu Ziyu's surprised voice came from outside the car.

Lao Qin replied: "The young lady said she would go back to the Bo's Mansion."

Zhu Ziyu pulled the reins and shouted, "Stop!"

The carriage passed slowly by Zhu Ziyu, and then Lao Qin whipped the whip, and the horse pulling the carriage started to run. The carriage disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Zhu Ziyu coughing due to the dust.

Jiang Yi was startled by the sudden acceleration of the carriage. She leaned over the wall and looked out. Seeing Zhu Ziyu being left behind, she asked anxiously, "Fourth sister, what happened?"

Jiang Si smiled and comforted Jiang Yi: "Don't worry, elder sister, let's go back to the Bo's Mansion and tell father what happened today."

Jiang Yi didn't expect Jiang Si to be serious, and her expression was anxious: "Fourth sister, this is the Zhu Mansion's business. Your brother-in-law and I will investigate it carefully when we return to the mansion. Why do we have to go to the Bo Mansion and make father worry?"

Jiang Si was unmoved: "Sit still, big sister."

"Fourth sister——"

No matter how anxious Jiang Yi was, the carriage soon arrived at the gate of Dongping Marquis's Mansion under the driving of Lao Qin.

Jiang Yi is a soft-hearted person, so at this point she could only bite the bullet and follow Jiang Si inside.

As soon as Jiang Si stepped into the gate of the Bo's mansion, he suddenly felt that something was unusual.
