Not listening?
Jiang Si raised his eyebrows and smiled: "A Fei is obedient, so she should be obedient too."
Being obedient does not necessarily bring benefits, but being disobedient definitely brings disadvantages. Maids like Aya who come from the lower class are mostly very aware of current affairs. I think tonight's nightmare will leave a deep impression on her.
"Miss, since you think there is something wrong with Qing'er, why do you still keep her with you?" Ah Man asked in confusion.
Jiang Si smiled and patted Ah Man: "Why are you asking so many questions? Go get some water, I want to take a bath."
The bathroom was filled with mist, mixed with the coolness of autumn. Jiang Si took off her clothes and stepped into the big wooden tub, letting the warm water cover her fair shoulders. Her black hair spread out on the water like seaweed, bringing with it an indescribable laziness.
There was the sound of water splashing in his ears, but Jiang seemed to ignore it and closed his eyes, thinking about his own things.
There shouldn't be any problems with the eldest sister for now. She's going to meet Ah Fei tomorrow...
Ah Man stopped watering with the ladle and asked Ah Qiao in a low voice, "Is the girl asleep?"
Ah Qiao leaned over and called softly, "Girl?"
After a while, Jiang Si's eyelashes trembled slightly and she opened her eyes.
"You'd better get up and wait for me to dry you off before going to sleep, otherwise you will catch a cold."
Jiang Si nodded and stood up.
The water drops flowed down the girl's fair and smooth skin. Her waist-length hair covered her entire back, leaving only the pointed lotus leaves in the front clearly visible.
Perhaps because she had been married twice in her previous life and had experienced a passionate love affair with Yu Jin, Jiang Si did not have the shyness of exposing her body for a girl of her age and walked barefoot into the living room.
There was a noise outside the window, as if someone was knocking on it.
Jiang Si's originally indifferent expression suddenly turned into fear. He hurriedly hid behind the nearest screen and said urgently, "Aqiao, bring me some clothes!"
The two maids also panicked. They quickly fetched clothes and hurriedly helped Jiang Si to dress. The sound of tapping on the window continued. It was particularly clear when the lights were just coming on, so clear that it made people's heart beat fast.
Finally she put on her clothes. With a tense face, she let her long wet hair hang loose and strode towards the window.
She wanted to see who was outside the window!
"Girl——" Ah Man and Ah Qiao hurriedly caught up.
Jiang Si waved his hands, opened the window himself with a sullen face.
It can be said that at this moment, Fourth Miss Jiang was extremely angry.
Think about it, if anyone is taking a comfortable hot bath and suddenly hears a knock on the window while naked, wouldn’t they be scared?
Outside the window, a big dog put its front paws on the windowsill and snorted at Jiang.
Miss Jiang Si, who was about to explode with anger, suddenly lost her temper and asked in surprise: "Erniu, why are you here?"
She subconsciously moved aside and the big dog jumped in easily.
Ah Qiao and Jiang Si rarely go out, so she didn't know the reason and was really shocked.
Ah Man, however, happily went over to greet Erniu warmly: "Erniu, did you pick up money again?"
Erniu looked at Ah Man with a stern face, then turned around and raised his head as if trying hard to look at Jiang.
After calming down, Jiang Si roughly guessed Erniu's purpose, and sure enough, he found a small gold pouch on its neck.
Jiang Si frowned, took down the brocade bag, took out a folded note from it, read it, walked to the table, took off the lampshade, and threw the note in.
The candle flame instantly rose an inch higher, making the girl's tense face even brighter.
Ah Man and Ah Qiao were extremely curious, but seeing their master's expression no one dared to say anything.
After walking into the study, he quickly wrote a reply and stuffed it back into the golden bag. Jiang Si rubbed Erniu's head and said, "Go back."
Erniu wagged his tail in grievance.
Jiang Si thought for a moment and told Aqiao, "Go and bring over the braised pork elbow that your father sent you today."
I don't know since when, but Mr. Jiang has developed the habit of sending braised pork elbows to his young lady to surprise her. The portion is quite large. The one sent today was not finished and has not been processed yet.
Erniu finished his meal, then jumped out of the window with satisfaction and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Si stood silently by the window for a while, then turned and walked towards the bed.
Yu Qi sent Erniu to deliver a letter, asking her to meet him tomorrow, but she had already said everything she needed to say, and she couldn't think of any need for them to meet.
Besides, she has to meet Ah Fei tomorrow.
Different from the quietness of Haitangju, Yaxinyuan was brightly lit at this moment. Second wife Xiao looked at the table full of cold food and had no appetite at all. The man she thought would come to share dinner with her and ask her about what happened during the day did not come.
Mr. Jiang Er didn't even step into Yaxinyuan, but went straight to rest in the study in the front yard.
Xiao felt angry at being ignored, but he couldn't vent his anger.
She knew very well that everyone in the mansion who knew about this was laughing at her.
The wife who was in charge of the household was kidnapped in broad daylight and then sent back in a daze. If this happened to someone else, she would have despised and laughed at it.
Mrs. Xiao, who was standing aside, looked at Xiao's expression many times, and finally couldn't help but kneel down.
"Mother Xiao, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Xiao's voice was a little hoarse, and she kowtowed heavily: "Madam, can Hongyue be found back?"
Mrs. Xiao is Xiao's confidant, and Hongyue is Mrs. Xiao's daughter. Both mother and daughter are useful to Xiao.
Xiao was stumped.
She didn't even know who had kidnapped her, and she hadn't seen Hongyue since she woke up. Although the Bo family secretly sent people to look for her, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Xiao rubbed his brows and said weakly, "Send someone to look for him. Maybe there will be news tomorrow..."
Mrs. Xiao fell to the ground, her forehead pressed against the cold ground, tears streaming down her face.
Her daughter will definitely not come back.
…
In the newly built Prince Yan's Mansion, Yu Jin finally got Erniu back.
As soon as Erniu approached, he smelled a faint aroma of meat. He immediately pinched Erniu's face and said in a tone that was hard to tell whether it was jealousy or frustration: "She treats you better than she treats me."
Erniu grunted twice, signaling his master to take the golden bag away quickly.
Yu Jin took out the note from the purse and read it, feeling even more upset.
Very good, Erniu got some meat for his run, but he got two dry words in return: not seen.
Why is there such a big difference in the treatment of this man and the dog?
But this time Yu Jin was not frightened by the word "not see". He felt that he must see her.
Although we can't push Asi too hard, we can't let Asi think that he is interested in other girls. This would be such a huge injustice!
The next day, the autumn wind was chilly. Jiang Si went to Cixintang to pay his respects as usual. He listened to Madam Feng's scolding with one ear and out the other. Then he found an opportunity to take Ah Man to the rented house.
Ah Fei was already waiting there, and when he saw Jiang Si he hurriedly greeted him.
Jiang Si waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite, and asked directly: "Did you lose the two idle guys who were chasing the girl yesterday?"
