Chapter 34 Sisters



Jiang Si returned to Haitangju and Aqiao presented two things to him.

"Miss, this was sent by the eldest lady." Aqiao first handed a blue cloth bundle to Jiang Si.

The bundle looked ordinary, but it was tied with an exquisite knot. Jiang Si knew at a glance that it was packed by the eldest sister Jiang Yi herself.

Inside there was a pair of beautifully crafted embroidered shoes, two pairs of insoles, several pairs of socks, a pair of Ruyi peace knots, and in addition to these women's needlework, there was also a mahogany box.

Jiang Si's gaze paused on the mahogany box, and he reached out to open it. Inside were a red gold hairpin with kingfisher feathers, a white jade hairpin with eight-treasure pearls, and several exquisite silk flowers.

Underneath these ornaments was a plain paper.

Jiang Si picked up the plain paper, and the beautiful handwriting jumped into his eyes.

She seemed to see her elder sister's gentle smile on her face, advising her to relax and not to be upset over someone who wasn't worth it, and that she would definitely marry someone better in the future. Finally, she explained with some caution and guilt that she couldn't come, hoping that she wouldn't mind.

The ginger's tears fell.

Her elder sister who was an outstanding needleworker, her elder sister who was gentle and kind, her elder sister who was humble and weak, died at the age of only twenty.

Her brothers and sisters, including herself, were all short-lived and did not live past the age of twenty.

In her previous life, the eldest sister was divorced for having an affair with someone, and she hanged herself not long after returning to her parents' home.

When the news reached the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, her first reaction was disbelief.

Her eldest sister was timid and docile by nature, like a jasmine in early spring. She would rather believe that she would have an affair with someone than believe that her eldest sister would do such a thing.

She wanted to go to the Zhu family to seek an explanation, but was stopped by her grandmother. In the end, she could do nothing but cry.

"Girl——" Jiang's reaction made Ah Man and Ah Qiao a little at a loss. Ah Man called out carefully, and Ah Qiao brought a warm handkerchief.

Jiang Si took the wet handkerchief and wiped his eyes, then told Aqiao to pack up the things his elder sister had sent him, and picked up another note.

This post was sent by the second young lady Jiang Qian, inviting her to stay at the Changxing Marquis's Mansion for two days to relax, and also suggested inviting other sisters from the Marquis's Mansion to come along.

Jiang's fingertips unconsciously exerted force and wrinkled the corners of the post.

Jiang Qian's invitation arrived really quickly.

Jiang Si hesitated for a moment, then went to the west room.

The west room was arranged as a study, with a desk and a piano. Jiang seemed to have lost his leisure time after his rebirth, and the strings of his piano were already covered with dust.

Seeing Jiang Si walking towards the desk, Aqiao cleverly started grinding ink.

Jiang Si quickly wrote a plain letter, packed it, and handed it to Ah Qiao: "Send this to the Changxing Marquis' Mansion."

"Miss, are you going to visit the Changxing Marquis' Mansion?" Aqiao asked.

Jiang Si shook her head and smiled: "My grandmother is not feeling well, how can I, as her granddaughter, go out to play?"

She wrote this letter to reject Jiang Qian.

The Changxing Marquisate was like a thorn buried in her heart, and the thorn was dipped in poison. If she did not remove the poisonous thorn, her heart would sooner or later be filled with poison sores.

She must visit the Changxing Marquis' Mansion, but not now.

As she said in her letter, grandma is not feeling well.

Jiang Si was certain that Jiang Qian, who had been neglected at Ci Xin Tang last time, would come back to visit her grandmother tomorrow morning in order to gain favor after receiving this letter.

In fact, my grandmother's eyes had already started to ache slightly at that time, and by the next day she could no longer see with her left eye.

She had mentioned that dream before and attributed the scene in the dream to Jiang Qian. Although her grandmother scolded her verbally, the thorn had already been planted.

When Jiang Qian visits her grandmother the next day, her grandmother will soon go blind. She doesn't believe that her grandmother will not associate it with Jiang Qian.

Her grandmother was not one to put her love for her granddaughter first.

Jiang Si didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for plotting against Jiang Qian. Not to mention that what Jiang Qian did to her in her previous life was abominable to both humans and gods, the witch who was invited after her grandmother had eye problems pointed directly at her second brother Jiang Zhan. It was impossible that her second uncle's family didn't have any hand in this.

In the previous life, my second uncle was rewarded for saving a driver, but at that time my father got into a scandal of staying drunk in a brothel and was involved in a murder case.

My father was stripped of his title and kicked out of the house, so my second uncle naturally inherited the title. Because of his meritorious service in saving the emperor, the title was passed down from generation to generation.

The grandmother's greatest wish was finally fulfilled, and she no longer cared about her eldest son's life or death.

When Jiang Si returned to the capital as the Seventh Prince's consort, more than a year had passed. She didn't believe that it was such a coincidence and asked Yu Qi to investigate it secretly for her.

It's a pity that she was reborn tragically just after she found out some clues.

Jiang doesn't seem to care whether there is evidence or not. As long as he treats his second uncle's family like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, he will be right.

"Give this letter to my elder sister." Jiang Si picked up the pen and wrote another letter and handed it to Aqiao. He walked out of the study and came to the yard, sitting on the swing in a daze.

The swing was suddenly pushed, and the girl's red skirt fluttered in the wind.

Jiang Si suddenly raised her head, and a faint smile appeared on her bright and charming but expressionless face: "Second brother is back."

She stopped the swing by tiptoeing and held out her hand: "Where's my purse?"

Jiang Zhan laughed twice.

"Not coming back?" Jiang Sidai frowned slightly, quite surprised.

She and Yu Qi had never met in this life. She didn't think that Yu Qi was the kind of frivolous playboy who stole money from strange girls' purses. She got angry before just because she didn't want Yu Qi to have any further contact with her because of her second brother.

"That dog is so abominable. It might have hidden fourth sister's purse as if it were a bone!" Jiang Zhan said angrily.

Jiang Si's brows furrowed even deeper.

Erniu wasn't so ignorant before.

"Is there something important in Fourth Sister's purse?" Jiang Zhan felt quite guilty for not getting the purse back.

"Nothing important."

"Is there a special mark on the purse?"

Jiang Si shook his head: "No."

Jiang Zhan heaved a sigh of relief: "That's not a big deal. I don't think anyone would pick up a purse that was chewed up by a dog. Even if someone did, they wouldn't know it was my sister's."

At this point, Jiang Si could only blame himself for his bad luck. After Jiang Zhan left, he returned to his bedroom and dug out a pair of gold bracelets from the bottom of the box.

This pair of gold bracelets was left by Su. When Jiang Yilin left the pavilion, she gave both bracelets to Jiang Si.

At that time, Jiang Si was just over ten years old and was still a pretentious girl. She always felt that gold bracelets were too vulgar, so she simply put the pair of bracelets at the bottom of the box.

This pair of bracelets is of great use to Jiang Si now.

The bracelet is hollow, with jade beads secretly separated, which is just suitable for storing the medicinal powders with different uses prepared by Jiang Sicai.

Jiang Si, who has lived two lives, knows very well that both her identity as a young lady from the Bo's Mansion and the protection of maids and servants seem pale and powerless at certain times. Her confidence lies only in her abilities that cannot be taken away by others.

The day passed by in a dull and uneventful manner. The next day, just as Jiang Si had expected, Jiang Qian came to visit Old Madam Feng with bags full of gifts.

In Ci Xin Hall, Old Madam Feng looked at her second granddaughter Jiang Qian, who was smiling faintly, and she felt her left eye twitching even more violently.

Why is Golden Chicken here again!
