Chapter 36: Old Tricks



Jiang Qian's expression also didn't look very good. She stood there for a long time without any reaction.

"Qian'er——" Xiao was a little panicked.

The old lady is still worried about her. Once there is a problem with her eyes, her temper will be even worse. It would be troublesome if her life is difficult, but it would be troublesome if the old lady holds a grudge against Qian'er.

A married daughter can only feel confident if she has the support of her parents' family. This is especially true for a daughter-in-law like Qian'er who marries into a wealthy family.

Jiang Qian had calmed down by now, and said to the maid in a sharp voice: "You go down first!"

The maid retreated anxiously. Jiang Qian took a deep breath and held Xiao's hand: "Mother, don't panic. We have to come up with a solution before we go to Ci Xin Hall."

"Yes, we need to think of a way out." Xiao was not a person who could not keep calm, but she looked a little flustered because she could not suppress her emotions in front of her daughter. At this moment, her mind raced and she quickly came up with an idea. With a cold light flashing in her eyes, she said, "Since someone is taking advantage of dreams, let's give him a taste of his own medicine!"

"What are you going to do, mother?"

Xiao pulled Jiang Qian over and whispered a few words to her.

Jiang Qian was a little hesitant: "Is this okay?"

Xiao sneered: "Why not? Since your grandmother believes this, let's follow her path. It's just two golden chickens, and you are not the only one who ranks second among the young people in the Bo's Mansion!"

Jiang Si's older brother, Jiang Zhan, is also the second son.

"But Jiang Zhan is not a chicken——"

"Who said that golden rooster refers to the Chinese zodiac sign? You can just make up a pretext. The key is whether the fairy lady we invite can gain your grandmother's trust." After coming up with this idea, Xiao changed her previous panic and had a look of satisfaction between her eyebrows. "Don't worry, mother knows a fairy lady who is a little famous. Your maternal grandfather had some friendship with her in the early years. Mother can ask her to help, and this matter will definitely succeed."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." After hearing what Xiao said, Jiang Qian's tense expression relaxed.

"What are you talking about? You crawled out of my belly. If I don't worry about you, who else should I worry about?" Xiao held Jiang Qian's hand lovingly.

Jiang Qian's lips moved, and she seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She pulled her hand out without leaving a trace, took Xiao's arm and said, "Mom, let's go over there quickly."

The news that Madam Feng had lost one eye was like a thunderclap exploding over the Dongping Marquis's mansion. Upon hearing the noise, the heads of various households rushed over one after another.

When Jiang Si arrived, many people had already come to Ci Xin Hall, so she mixed in with a few sisters and observed quietly.

Second Aunt and Jiang Qian haven't arrived yet.

Upon noticing this, Jiang raised the corner of his lips in a mocking tone.

She never thought that Jiang Qian, who had been able to coax her into a deep sisterly relationship in her previous life, was stupid.

After this conversation between mother and daughter, they must have made some guesses, and now Lai Chi should be discussing countermeasures.

Thinking of this, Jiang Si's mouth curved even deeper.

She was not afraid that they would not take action, but she was afraid that they would sit on their hands and not find an opportunity to strike hard at their enemies.

Jiang Si was thinking in her heart, when she suddenly noticed someone's gaze falling on her. She looked up and saw the third girl Jiang Qiao rolling her eyes at her.

Jiang Qiao is a pretty girl, as her name suggests. From an outsider's perspective, she still looks playful and cute when she rolls her eyes.

Jiang Si smiled.

Jiang Qiao was stunned, and lowered her voice and said viciously: "Grandma is sick, and you are still laughing!"

"I found that my third sister looked particularly beautiful today, and I couldn't help but smile." Jiang Si said shamelessly.

Jiang Qiao blushed and spat, "What nonsense are you talking about? If grandma sees you laughing, you'll be in trouble!"

Jiang Si showed a look of sudden enlightenment: "It turns out that Third Sister is worried about me."

"Don't be so conceited!" Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes again, turned her head away and ignored Jiang Si.

At this time, Xiao and Jiang Qian hurried over.

When Mrs. Feng saw Xiao show up, she picked up a teacup and threw it at him: "Why don't you wait until I'm dead before you come?"

Xiao has been the housekeeper all along, and it would not look good if something happened to the old lady.

There was a gleam of happiness in Third Wife Guo's eyes.

As a concubine's daughter-in-law, she had never thought of competing with Xiao. However, Xiao was too strong in her daily life. She would hold a grudge against her for a few inappropriate words, and she was unhappy with her food, clothing, and interpersonal relationships.

Guo was a sensible person. She knew that she would gain nothing by making trouble with the old lady, so she could only swallow the loss.

If one eats this food for a long time, even a Bodhisattva will turn into a diamond, and Guo is no exception.

Jiang Qian stood in front of Guo and let the flying teacup hit her.

"Qian'er, are you okay?" Xiao felt very distressed.

Jiang Qian shook her head, walked quickly to Old Madam Feng, and said gently: "Grandma, I took my mother to the garden to talk, and the maid didn't find her in time. It's all my fault, please don't get angry and hurt yourself——"

"You haven't gone back yet?" As soon as Mrs. Feng said this, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Jiang Qian's face.

Jiang Qian felt that these gazes were like invisible sharp blades, cutting her face and causing burning pain.

Jiang Qian had never experienced such embarrassment in the Bo Mansion.

At this time, Jiang Qian was more grateful in her heart: Fortunately, she had a conversation with her mother and found out what was bothering her grandmother, otherwise she would be confused and suffer in vain.

Jiang Qian didn't care at this time.

As long as she could successfully push the blame onto Jiang Zhan as her mother had said, the worse her grandmother's attitude towards her was now, the more guilty she would feel in the future, and the more compensation she would receive.

As long as you can laugh to the end, what does it matter if you suffer a little injustice now?

"The granddaughter is worried about her grandmother." Jiang Qian showed just the right amount of grievance on her face.

"You are not a doctor. There is no point in you staying here. You'd better go back quickly." Mrs. Feng suddenly lost her sight with one eye. Her emotions were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. She forced herself to suppress her emotions and did not say the word "get out" to Jiang Qian.

"How can I leave with peace of mind when my grandma is like this? Let me stay here, at least until the doctor's conclusion."

"The doctor is here." The head maid Ah Fu ran in breathlessly.

"All of you get out!" Old Madam Feng couldn't get angry with Jiang Qian, so she simply drove everyone out.

The courtyard of Ci Xin Hall was suddenly filled with people.

At this time, even though the old lady asked them to leave, they couldn't leave.

The tall and straight Chinese toon tree in the courtyard could hardly provide shade and coolness for so many people. It emitted a faint fragrance in the wind, which drifted into my nose and was particularly strong.

For a moment, it seemed like midsummer.

The clock ticked for two quarters of an hour as everyone waited anxiously, and beads of sweat were already oozing out of everyone's nose.

Jiang Qian and Xiao secretly exchanged glances several times.

The doctor who was finally called came out accompanied by Ah Fu and carrying a medicine box. Xiao rushed to greet him and said, "Doctor, how is the old lady?"

The doctor shook his head and said, "The old lady's eyes can't find obvious changes. Perhaps it's caused by excessive internal heat. I've prescribed a prescription for clearing away heat and detoxifying. If it doesn't work after taking two doses, your family should invite another famous doctor."

As soon as the doctor left, Xiao immediately expressed her willingness to hire famous doctors to cure the old lady's eyes.

Jiang Si watched the hustle and bustle in the mansion calmly, but he already had a plan in mind.
