"Call my third sister for questioning?" Jiang Si's heart skipped a beat.

Yu Jin smiled and said, "It's just a possibility. You should have an idea in your mind first. Don't mention it to your third sister for now. Maybe I'm just worrying too much."

Jiang Si nodded: "Yeah."

"Then I will take the assassin away first and let Long Dan take you back."

The two walked out of the room side by side.

Jiang Qiao and the other two looked over.

Jiang Si walked over and said calmly, "Third sister, fifth sister, sixth sister, let's go."

The four sisters squeezed into the same carriage, driven by Lao Qin to the Dongping Marquis's Mansion. The carriage that Jiang Qiao and the other two took when they went out followed behind, but there was no one on board.

Jiang Pei quietly looked at Jiang Si's expression, then asked, "Fourth sister, that person just now is the King of Yan?"

Jiang looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "What else?"

Jiang Pei hit a soft nail and smiled awkwardly.

She knew very well that the only outside man who could be alone with Jiang Si was her future brother-in-law, Prince Yan, but she still couldn't help but ask.

How could the fourth sister, a girl from Xun Changbo's mansion who had broken off her engagement, suddenly become the Princess of Yan?

Until now, Jiang Pei still has a sense of unreality.

Yu Jin's look kept appearing in her mind, and she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Si again, thinking: After all, it's because Fourth Sister is pretty, and Prince Yan must have been attracted by Fourth Sister's beauty.

Her natural beauty is something that cannot be envied. Who can blame her for not being the daughter of her aunt who died young?

Jiang Pei thought sourly. In this crowded carriage, accompanied by the boring squeaking sound of the wheels, she couldn't help but want to say something.

"Fourth sister, I heard you and your fourth brother-in-law talking earlier. Did someone really assassinate the number one scholar?"

Jiang Li gently pulled Jiang Pei's sleeve and whispered, "Sixth sister, don't ask. We don't need to know this."

Jiang Peibai glanced at Jiang Li and said, "Fifth sister is the timid one. There is no one else in the carriage, so why ask? Aren't you curious about such a thrilling and scary thing? You are always afraid to ask this and say that. You might as well just hide yourself."

Jiang Li lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

Jiang Qiao couldn't stand it and glared at Jiang Pei: "Sixth sister, as a younger sister, is this how you talk to your elder sister?"

In Jiang Pei's heart, although she was a concubine's daughter, her father was a legitimate son, and a fourth-rank official in the capital with a promising future. Although Jiang Qiao was a legitimate daughter, she was born to a concubine's son, and her father had no official position, but was just an assistant to her uncle to manage the affairs of the mansion. In terms of status, she was not as respectable as her.

After hearing what Jiang Qiao said, she was not convinced at all and muttered quietly: "Fourth sister didn't say anything, why is third sister so active?"

Jiang Qiao's eyebrows immediately raised, and she wanted to argue with Jiang Pei.

Jiang Si chuckled: "Sixth sister, do you really want to listen to me?"

Jiang Pei immediately put away her resentment and said with a smile, "Of course."

Jiang Si looked at Jiang Pei steadily and said slowly, "Since Sixth Sister wants to listen to me, I will remind you. Please remember, don't call the King of Yan your Fourth Brother-in-law in the future."

"What should it be called?" Jiang Pei asked in confusion.

"You should call him Prince."

There was no wave of surprise in those extremely delicate eyes, but Jiang Pei felt that they were filled with mockery.

She blushed immediately and said awkwardly, "But he is indeed my fourth brother-in-law."

Jiang Qiao sneered, "Sixth sister, Fourth sister has warned you, why are you still so ignorant? Can the rules of the royal family be the same as those of ordinary families? He is a prince, and he hasn't married Fourth sister yet. You keep calling him Fourth brother-in-law. Wouldn't it make people laugh?"

Seeing that Jiang Pei was still unconvinced, Jiang Qiao asked back, "Have you ever heard of the father-in-law of the emperor calling him son-in-law?"

Jiang Pei was completely speechless and lowered her head and said, "Fourth sister, I was wrong. I won't yell anymore in the future."

Jiang Si closed his eyes and said nothing more.

Her patience with her sister only extended so far.

The carriage drove directly to the second gate of the Dongping Marquis's Mansion, and the four sisters got off the carriage one after another.

After parting with Jiang Li and Jiang Pei at the intersection, Jiang Qiao grabbed Jiang Si's hand and said, "Fourth sister, am I in trouble?"

Jiang Si stood still and asked calmly, "Why do you ask that, Third Sister?"

Among the sisters in the mansion, although Jiang Qiao is straightforward and seems to be innocent, she is quite sharp at critical moments.

Jiang seems to think that everyone's talents are born different. For example, even after experiencing rebirth, she is still clumsy sometimes.

Jiang Qiao twisted her handkerchief and said, "When I heard you mention the assassin to the prince, I thought it was such a coincidence that I was pushed out to block the team's progress and the assassin jumped out. Since it wasn't my sixth sister who pushed me from behind, maybe... maybe it was the assassin. If that's the case, wouldn't I be in trouble..."

Jiang Qiao became more and more annoyed as she spoke: "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have gone out to join in the fun..."

Jiang Si held Jiang Qiao's hand and said soothingly, "Don't let your imagination run wild for now, Third Sister. Go back and have a good rest. If there is any trouble, I will definitely ask the prince to find a solution."

"Then I'll have to trouble Fourth Sister." Jiang Qiao was a little depressed.

Not more than an hour after the two separated, someone came from the palace and asked Jiang Qiao to come over.

"Are they really going to tell our Third Young Miss?" Old Madam Feng asked again, wondering in her heart.

Could it be a mistake? Even if the palace summoned someone, it should be the fourth girl. What relationship does the third girl have to the palace?

The eunuch was a little impatient: "It is indeed the third young lady."

Seeing that the eunuch had a determined look, Old Lady Feng had no choice but to order her servants to invite Jiang Qiao.

Jiang Si heard the news and took the initiative to escort Jiang Qiao out. On the way, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, Third Sister. If someone asks you about what happened at that time, just tell them the truth. With the King of Yan here, they won't make things difficult for you."

Jiang Qiao nodded and followed the eunuch into the carriage.

Jiang Si watched the carriage go away before returning.

Madam Feng asked anxiously, "Si'er, why did someone come from the palace to call for your third sister?"

Jiang Si looked bewildered: "My granddaughter doesn't know."

Old Madam Feng was almost choked to death. She knew that Jiang Si was playing tricks on her, but she couldn't vent her anger and her heart ached.

In the palace, Emperor Jingming also felt a pain in his heart.

"What are you doing? A thug sneaked into the street to assassinate the top scholar, and he is a foreigner! Do you know what the consequences will be if the thief succeeds?"

A group of people knelt on the ground, enduring the thundering wrath of Emperor Jingming and filled with fear.

The top scholar in this subject is no ordinary one, it is a rare auspicious sign that appears only once in a hundred years. If he is really assassinated in front of thousands of people, it is no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be shaken.

When the people are united, the country is strong. When the people are shaken, the country is in danger.

Rise and fall, gathering and separation, the direction of a country's destiny, sometimes just one thing can change the world.

Emperor Jingming was accustomed to his ministers sticking their necks out and singing a different tune, and it was rare for him to see these stubborn men trembling with fear. In his rage, he inexplicably felt a hint of pleasure.

He frowned and glanced at Yu Jin who was not far away.
