The doorman's hesitant expression and the servants' hurried steps and solemn expressions all made Jiang Si realize that something unusual had happened in the mansion.
Jiang Si simply stopped a servant and asked, "Did something happen in the mansion?"
The servant glanced at Jiang Yi subconsciously.
Jiang Si's face darkened: "What?"
The servant said cautiously, "The second wife is missing!"
Jiang Si was really surprised: "What's going on?"
Apparently, the news had spread throughout the Bo's mansion, and the servants hurriedly told everyone what they knew: "Today, the Second Madam went to Baiyun Temple to burn incense. Unexpectedly, two masked men rushed out on the way, kicked Old Zhang, who was driving the carriage, off, and drove away..."
"Oh my God!" Jiang Yi covered her mouth in shock, feeling panicked and terrified.
What happened today? She and her fourth sister encountered a series of accidents, and even her second aunt got into trouble...
Jiang Si's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she suddenly felt an indescribable fear: What would happen if she had taken the carriage from the Bo's mansion to Baiyun Temple today?
Jiang Si didn't think she was being overly suspicious. Every step since her rebirth had been dangerous, and in her opinion, any accident could be man-made.
As soon as she thought that if she had taken the carriage to the Bo's mansion today, she would be the one missing now, Jiang Si no longer felt happy about the disappearance of the second wife Xiao, but only heavy heart.
This matter cannot be let go.
"Has Second Auntie come back now?"
The servant said, "No, the three masters have gone out to look for someone, and now only the eldest master has returned."
“Fourth sister—” Jiang Yi called out with a pale face, and said anxiously, “I’d better go back first. The house is so chaotic, I can’t cause trouble for father anymore…”
Seeing that Zhu Ziyu had already chased to the gate of the Bo's house, Jiang Si decisively grabbed Jiang Yi's hand and said, "Sister, you are wrong. It is because all the things happened at the same time that it is too strange. We must report today's events to father."
"Aunt, you are here too." The servant was already surprised to see Jiang Yi, and he was even more surprised to see Zhu Ziyu hurriedly dismount and walk inside.
Zhu Ziyu nodded hastily to the doorman and quickly chased after him: "Yiniang, wait a moment."
Seeing that his elder sister had stopped, Jiang Si didn't want to drag her away by force, so he simply waited there, waiting for Zhu Ziyu to come over and sneer, "Does the promise made by my brother-in-law not count anymore?"
Zhu Ziyu was embarrassed by the strange looks from the servants in the Bo's Mansion. He forced a smile and said, "Of course it counts..."
"That's good, let's go see father together." Jiang Si pulled Jiang Yi towards Ci Xin Hall.
Jiang Si had already figured it out. For someone like Zhu Ziyu who always excelled in everything, it would not work for her to act like a gentle and reserved lady from a wealthy family. Only by losing face could she gain the upper hand.
Jiang Si had expected it right. Jiang Ancheng was in Cixin Hall at the moment. He was surprised to see her come in. "Si'er, you're finally back. Where's your second brother?"
Jiang Ancheng was surprised when he saw Jiang Yi: "Yier is here too."
Jiang Yi and Zhu Ziyu hurriedly greeted Jiang Ancheng and Old Madam Feng.
Facing Zhu Ziyu, Madam Feng's gloomy expression eased a little: "Ah Fu, serve tea to the eldest aunt and the eldest aunt."
Jiang Ancheng ignored the politeness and asked Jiang Si, "Isn't your second brother with you?"
"Second brother came to find me?"
Jiang Ancheng nodded: "Your aunt was kidnapped. I am worried about such a serious incident, so I asked your brother to look for you."
"Maybe he got lost with his second brother."
At this time, Ah Fu served tea, and Mrs. Feng asked curiously, "Yier, why did you and your aunt come together today?"
Jiang Yi and Zhu Ziyu looked at each other, not knowing where to start.
"Because I have something to report to grandma and father." Jiang Si didn't think it was difficult to speak up, and he poured out everything that happened today. Finally, he said with a cold face, "Someone in the Zhu family wanted to harm my eldest sister. I was worried, so I brought my eldest sister back to ask grandma and father to make the decision for her."
Old Madam Feng frowned upon hearing this.
A daughter who is married off is like water spilled on the ground. The shocking incident should have been investigated thoroughly when returning to the Zhu Mansion. At most, it was just a conspiracy between the women in the backyard, and it could have been resolved behind closed doors. Wouldn't it be causing trouble if the fourth girl brought the person to the Bo Mansion? We couldn't let the Bo Mansion interfere in the family affairs of the Zhu Mansion.
Jiang Ancheng slammed the table and said, "Si'er, you did a good job!"
Jiang Si smiled slightly: "My daughter has reported it to the authorities."
"That's exactly how it should be (nonsense)!" Jiang Ancheng and Old Lady Feng's voices rang out at the same time, and their completely opposite attitudes made the atmosphere even more awkward.
Madam Feng's attitude was just as Jiang Si had expected. She turned her eyes slightly and looked at Madam Feng in surprise: "Grandma, do you think your granddaughter did something wrong?"
Old Madam Feng was really angry, and she suppressed her anger on her face: "How can a clean family report to the police so easily? It will make people laugh!"
Jiang Si sneered: "The driver used a long needle to pierce the horse's butt to harm the master. Is this considered an innocent family?"
Old Madam Feng disagreed.
Every family in a large and deep mansion has its own shameful deeds. If everything were reported to the authorities, the people in the government office wouldn't even have time to eat.
"The elders of the Zhu family will make the decision for your elder sister. If you act so rashly, won't it make things difficult for your elder sister in the future?"
Zhu Ziyu's expression relaxed slightly.
My wife's grandmother was a sensible person. At least she didn't blindly protect Yezi.
It was obvious from what Old Madam Feng said that she thought Jiang Yi was already a member of the Zhu family and that the Bo family should not interfere in the affairs of the Zhu family.
Jiang Si felt sad and gave a heavy punch: "Grandma, I don't think this is just the Zhu family's business. On the contrary, our Bo family must pay attention to this matter."
Old Madam Feng frowned and listened to what Jiang Si said.
Jiang Si glanced at Zhu Ziyu and said calmly, "Today, the Zhu family's driver was able to kill my eldest sister. Who can guarantee that others will not use more shameless means in the future? If someone slanders my eldest sister's reputation, how can our Bo's Mansion hold our heads up?"
Zhu Ziyu's expression suddenly changed: "Fourth sister, you are going too far——"
Jiang Si retorted, "Not as good as my brother-in-law's family who can make the train driver go too far."
Old Madam Feng was silent for a moment.
If such a thing really happened, the Bo family would not be able to show their faces in the capital, and this would not just be a problem for the Zhu family.
Seeing that Madam Feng's expression was wavering, Jiang Si sneered in his heart: It turns out that only by involving the interests of the Bo's Mansion can my grandmother take me seriously.
Jiang Ancheng glared at Zhu Ziyu fiercely and walked away: "Come with me to Zhu's house!"
"Father——" Jiang Yi was in a dilemma.
Jiang Ancheng had already strode out.
In a blink of an eye, Ci Xin Hall returned to peace, and Old Madam Feng rubbed her brows.
It's really one crisis after another, and we still don't know where the Xiao family is!
At this time, Xiao looked around his surroundings in panic, feeling as if he was about to collapse.
Who could tell her what had happened? She was sitting in a carriage, eating melon seeds and going to burn incense, but in the blink of an eye she was in this place!
