It was the time for daily greetings, and there were many people sitting or standing in the Ci Xin Hall.
Hearing that Master Dou was coming, the third girl Jiang Qiao looked outside curiously.
Fifth Miss Jiang Li lowered her eyes as usual, looking very proper, while Sixth Miss Jiang Pei frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.
Madam Feng smiled and said, "It's a good thing that you are all here. Come meet your uncle."
Dou Qitong finally washed up and changed his clothes at the servant's persuasion before coming over. As soon as he entered the room, a warm breeze carrying a fragrance blew towards him.
"Greetings to my aunt."
Old Madam Feng smiled and asked Dou Qitong to get up: "Did you sleep well last night——"
Before he could finish his words, he saw the dark circles under Dou Qitong's eyes.
Old Madam Feng swallowed her polite words and frowned and asked, "What happened? It looks like he didn't sleep all night. Is it because the mattress is not comfortable, or the servants are not attentive enough--"
Dou Qitong said hurriedly: "No, it's just that my nephew couldn't sleep because he changed his place."
"I'll ask the kitchen to bring you a bowl of soothing soup. You didn't see your nieces yesterday when you were having tea with your three cousins. Now is a good time to see them so that you don't miss them when you see them in the mansion later."
Dou Qitong raised his head subconsciously.
"This is the third girl."
The cute girl who appeared before him made him want to smile subconsciously, but the shadow of last night was too great, and he couldn't smile.
But the Bo family is really good at raising people, and this third daughter is quite pretty...
As soon as Jiang Si saw the look in Dou Qitong's eyes, he knew that a dog will always eat shit, and he sneered in his heart.
"Meet my uncle." Jiang Qiao bowed to Dou Qitong and stepped aside.
Although this cousin has delicate features, there is a big dark shadow under his eyes. He looks like he has lived in a brothel for a month. He doesn't look like a good person.
Madam Feng glanced at Jiang Si and said, "This is the fourth young lady."
"I've met my uncle."
Dou Qitong was about to return the greeting when he heard the cold voice and was suddenly startled. It was as if he had taken off his clothes and ran outside for a while, and he suddenly became sober.
He raised his eyes, then they widened in fear, and he said in a lost voice: "You——"
This unusual thing immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Old Madam Feng frowned and looked at the two of them.
One looked as if he had seen a ghost, the other acted as if nothing had happened.
"Qitong?"
Old Madam Feng's shout brought Dou Qitong back to his senses.
He had just narrowly escaped.
"Qitong, what's wrong with you?" Madam Feng felt that something was going on between the two of them, and asked in a deep voice.
Dou Qitong looked at Jiang Si subconsciously.
There was no expression on the girl's face, and her eyes were like cold jade, calm and cold.
Dou Qitong blurted out: "Who is she?"
Madam Feng's brows furrowed even deeper: "Qitong, didn't you hear what I just said? This is the fourth young lady in the mansion, the second daughter of your eldest cousin."
Dou Qitong looked at Jiang Si, his lips moving.
This ferocious girl is actually my eldest cousin’s daughter!
Realizing Jiang Si's identity, Dou Qitong felt a surge of anger in his heart.
How dare she, a lady from a rich family, tease him like that? Wasn't she afraid that he would tell the truth and ruin her reputation?
As soon as the anger rose, it was suppressed by the cold gaze.
Dou Qitong regained consciousness.
So what if she was his cousin's daughter? He couldn't afford to offend this girl who could sneak into his room in the middle of the night and cut off his penis without anyone noticing!
If you can't afford to provoke someone, you can afford to avoid him.
Dou Qitong said awkwardly, "I don't know why the fourth young lady looked familiar to me, as if I've seen her somewhere before. I lost my composure for a moment."
Dou Qitong seemed absent-minded when meeting Jiang Li and Jiang Pei next. Old Madam Feng frowned frequently and felt very dissatisfied with this nephew whom she had not seen for many years.
To Old Madam Feng, she treated her own granddaughters differently by weight, so the same could be said for her sister's children who had no value.
She sent someone to Jinsha to bring her niece over so that she could be a concubine to her eldest son, so that Xiao could sober up. As for this nephew, he was just a match.
She originally thought that if her nephew was good, she could keep him in the mansion and take good care of him, so that he could be a help to her children and grandchildren in the future. But now it seems that his temper is a little too impetuous.
Even if the fourth girl looked like someone he had met before, why would an elder lose his composure like this in front of the younger generation? What kind of future can one have if he is so impatient?
When cousin Dou, who was standing by, saw that her brother was in trouble, worry flashed across her eyes and she silently tightened her handkerchief.
What Dou Qitong said next was even more shocking.
"Aunt, I couldn't sleep last night. After careful consideration, I decided to leave home and start my own business."
Cousin Dou couldn't help but look at Dou Qitong, her eyes filled with surprise.
Madam Feng stared at Dou Qitong closely: "What do you mean?"
"My nephew is no longer a child. It's not convenient for him to live in my aunt's house for a long time. I'd better go out and rent a house to play around. If I can achieve something, I can live up to my parents and family..."
Dou Qitong talked for a while, but Old Madam Feng just shook her head in disagreement.
She just arrived yesterday and has to move out today. Even though it is a good thing in the long run, it is embarrassing for her. People who don't know her might think that she can't even tolerate her own nephew.
Although Old Madam Feng loves to calculate benefits, the Bo family does not lack this meal.
How could Dou Qitong dare to just stay there? Facing the cold gaze on his back, he almost swore to the heavens, and finally made Madam Feng give in after much persuasion.
The matter of renting the house was given to the housekeeper, and packing the luggage was originally given to the third wife, Guo, but cousin Dou took over the task on her own initiative.
Old Madam Feng wanted to see how Cousin Dou handled things, so she nodded.
To her surprise and delight, although her niece was a quiet person, she directed the servants to do things in an orderly manner. She immediately became more satisfied with the decision.
"Sister——" Dou Qitong winked at his cousin Dou when no one was paying attention.
Cousin Dou came over, glanced at Dou Qitong's face, and asked softly, "Did big brother get into trouble again?"
Dou Qitong almost jumped up: "No, sister, don't always think about me like this! I want to move out, just because I have made up my mind to do a good job in the future."
Cousin Dou lowered her eyes and said, "That's good. What did you want to say to me, big brother?"
Dou Qitong glanced around and lowered his voice: "Sister, it seems that my aunt is planning to find a good marriage for you in the capital. Before you get married, you have to live in this mansion for a long time. Don't worry about other things, but you must be careful of one person..."
"who?"
"That fourth girl!"
Dou Cousin looked at her brother in shock, and after a while she said, "Brother, you said you didn't do anything wrong. Did you offend the fourth girl?"
The fourth girl had always given her an unusual feeling. Why did her eldest brother have to offend her?
"No, no, anyway you just have to be careful with her." Dou Qitong naturally would not tell his sister the truth, so he said this and walked away.
When Jiang Ancheng came back from outside, the scumbag cousin who was on the list of people to be punished had already moved away.
He was stunned for a moment, secretly cursed the little beast for being sensible, and prepared to go back and teach him a lesson.
At this time, Ah Fu, the maidservant beside Old Madam Feng, came over and asked Jiang Ancheng to go to Ci Xin Tang.
