In the dark corner, a half-human-tall dog named Wensi sat motionless, looking at the furious boy with an innocent face.

Jiang Zhan was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Who told you to sit here? Hurry up and leave, do you want to be discovered?"

Erniu stood up, shook his fur, looked at Jiang Zhan with contempt, and then walked into the doorway.

Jiang Zhan leaned against the tree and gasped for breath.

He is so mad at Erniu, that bastard!

A group of people chased after him.

"Second Master, are you okay?"

Jiang Zhan recovered and acted as if nothing had happened, waving his hands: "It's okay."

The gatekeeper rolled her eyes and said, "Second Master, I just saw a furry black shadow running past. Could it be a fox spirit?"

"Have you ever seen such a big fox spirit?" Jiang Zhan blurted out.

The gatekeeper recalled it carefully.

Yes, the fox spirit is not that big.

"What on earth is that?"

Jiang Zhan coughed and said with a straight face, "I didn't see it clearly, and I didn't catch up. Okay, let's all go."

Seeing the Second Young Master walking away with his hands behind his back, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Yang, did you really see a monster?"

When someone asked about it, the gatekeeper immediately perked up and said with great joy, "That's right. I was sitting in the house eating sunflower seeds when I heard the noise and looked outside. Oh my god, a big thing flew past. It was a pity that it was too dark and I couldn't see clearly what it was. I just thought it was furry. Tell me, if it's not a monster, what is it!"

Everyone took a deep breath.

"Second Young Master is so brave that he dares to chase after the monster."

"No wonder the second young master was able to become a member of the Jinwu Guard. My mother once said that a man's fortune would be as great as his courage..."

"So, the second young master has a bright future ahead of him."

Jiang Zhan, who was hiding on the other side of the wall, touched his nose.

These servants are really good at talking nonsense. They were discussing monsters but ended up talking about his promising future.

However, do they need to tell me that he has a bright future?

Jiang Zhan didn't sleep well that night, but luckily it was his turn to rest the next day. He quickly washed up and went straight to Ci Xin Hall.

The fourth sister wants to go and pay respects to the grandmother, and it is most convenient to arrest people there.

The ground dragon in Ci Xin Hall was burning brightly as usual. When Jiang Zhan went over, cousin Dou had already arrived and was chatting softly with old lady Feng.

"Grandmother, cousin." Jiang Zhan bowed to the two of them with a hearty smile on his face.

Cousin Dou couldn't help but look at Jiang Zhan a little more, thinking that compared to the mysterious Fourth Young Lady, the Second Young Master was simple-minded and frank, which made people feel comfortable.

As she thought about this, she lowered her eyelids and stared at the tip of her shoes. She couldn't help but worry about her brother who was away from home alone.

My brother has been out for a few days, and he hasn't gotten into any trouble yet...

Not knowing what cousin Dou was worried about, Mrs. Feng smiled when she saw Jiang Zhan, "You're not on duty today?"

Ever since Jiang Zhan got a proper job, he often went out earlier than the chickens, and his visit to Madam Feng was no longer regular.

"No, so I came to see my grandmother."

Madam Feng felt relieved when she heard this and said with a smile, "You are so thoughtful."

Next, the heads of each household came to pay their respects one after another. Jiang Sicai met his brother's gaze as soon as he entered the room and sighed secretly.

Second brother, this is the time to settle the score.

When they left Ci Xin Hall, Jiang Zhan followed them closely.

Jiang Si asked simply, "Second brother, is there anything wrong?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Zhan asked with a dark face: "What happened last night?"

Jiang blinked innocently.

"Why would Erniu go to your place?"

Jiang Si covered his mouth with a handkerchief, looking shocked: "Is that Erniu? I heard it was a monster..."

Jiang Zhan was almost amused by his precious sister, and he lowered his voice and said angrily: "Fourth sister, do you think I'm a fool?"

Jiang Si seemed to be honest, and lowered his head and said, "Who knows how Erniu came here?"

Jiang Zhan took a deep breath.

Stay calm, your sister is not one of those bad boys, you can't hit her.

After calming down a little, Jiang Zhan pulled Jiang Si to a pavilion not far away.

In winter, the wind is strong in the pavilion without any shelter on all sides, and the whole place looks bleak.

Jiang Zhan stood in the wind, blocking the cold wind, and asked seriously: "Fourth sister, tell me the truth, did Yu Qige use Erniu Hongyan to deliver the letter?"

Not far away, Ah Man looked up at the sky silently.

The second young master is so simple.

Jiang seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded: "It has been passed on several times."

It was not her intention to hide the truth from her father and brother. Yu Qi was trying hard, and she should slowly make her attitude clear and let her father and brother accept it gradually.

No, it’s about letting my second brother accept it. As for my father… ahem, it would be better to comfort my father after the matter has been settled.

"He, what did he say?" Jiang Zhan jumped up.

Yu Qi Ge, this bastard, actually secretly sent a message to Fourth Sister. He is not a gentleman at all!

Jiang Si lowered her eyes and her cheeks gradually turned red.

When Jiang Zhan saw that expression, he exclaimed, "Oh no!" and walked around in the pavilion in anger.

After a while, the cool breeze blowing from all directions calmed him down.

"Fourth sister, men's sweet words cannot be trusted..." Jiang Zhan gave a long speech, trying to save the lost girl with earnest advice.

Jiang Si still lowered his eyes and said nothing.

In the end, Jiang Zhan lost his temper and stamped his feet: "Fourth sister, just tell me what you think."

Jiang Si raised his eyes and looked at his brother, his eyes bright and clear: "Second brother, I like him."

"You--" Jiang Zhan almost fell down. He held on to the pavilion pillar to slow down and looked at his sister again.

The seriousness in the girl's eyes made him stunned, and then he felt depressed.

That bastard Yu Qi Ge finally deceived my innocent and ignorant sister.

Erniu is still an accomplice!

Sooner or later he will teach this man and this dog a lesson!

After getting angry, Jiang Zhan lost his temper.

Brother Yu Qi is a prince, and it is not easy to teach him a lesson, not to mention that he cannot beat him.

Erniu, that damn dog, was too cunning, and he couldn't get any advantage.

Ah, he is so mad.

Jiang Si looked at his brother who was so angry that he was spinning around, and smiled with pursed lips.

Jiang Zhan suddenly stopped and asked Jiang Si seriously, "Fourth sister, are you serious?"

"This is not a joke."

Jiang Zhan touched the scabbard at his waist.

Although he was resting, he had already gotten used to carrying a sword.

I wonder if Fourth Sister will give up if I chop off Yu Qi Ge...

"Fourth sister, there is no possibility for you and Seventh Brother Yu. He is a prince."

"I know."

"Did he tell you his identity?"

Jiang Si smiled and nodded: "Yes, I think he is quite honest and reliable."

Jiang Zhan wiped his face.

Damn his honesty! If his father hadn’t told him, he would still be in the dark.

"Second brother, you don't like Seventh Brother Yu?"

Jiang Zhan wanted to say yes, but he couldn't go against his will. He snorted, "It's useless to talk about this. He is the prince, and you like him. Do you want to be his concubine?"

Jiang Si smiled: "Second brother, why worry about these things. He wants to marry me, so let him figure it out. If he fails, we won't lose anything."

Jiang Zhan was stunned.

Hmm, what Fourth Sister said seems to make some sense.

Still worried, he asked, "If it doesn't work out, won't you just follow him to the death?"

"Of course not."

Jiang Zhan thought about it and laughed.

When you think about it this way, it’s okay.

The New Year is coming soon, and the time for the plum blossom viewing banquet has been set.
