The sudden blindness made Madam Feng more and more irritable day by day, especially after the imperial physician's treatment had no effect, Madam Feng's rationality could no longer control her temper.
It is hard to describe the panic of a person with a strong desire for control suddenly going blind in one eye and plunging into darkness in the future. She must do something to prove her unshakable authority.
Facing the sudden attack from Madam Feng, Jiang Si remained calm.
With her father's reminder today, and repeated verification in her previous life, she was confident that she had a better grasp of her grandmother's thoughts than others, at least better than her sixth sister Jiang Pei.
Jiang Pei was very unhappy with Jiang Si's inexplicable gaze, so she lowered her voice and put on a sympathetic look: "Fourth sister, grandma is not feeling well, just listen to her and get out as soon as possible."
Jiang Si curled her lips with a half-smile, and knelt gracefully in front of Old Madam Feng: "Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother, and granddaughter takes her leave."
She finished speaking and walked towards the door without looking around. Jiang Pei couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
"Sixth girl, are you deaf?" Old Madam Feng's impatient voice sounded.
"Puchi." The third lady Jiang Qiao, who came to pay her respects with the third wife Guo, arrived earlier than Jiang Si and others. At this time, she was standing behind Guo. She couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard the words.
Madam Feng glanced over coldly, and Jiang Qiao immediately looked at her nose and heart, not daring to get angry anymore.
Jiang Pei was completely stunned.
What was grandma saying? Did she hear it wrongly?
Seeing that Jiang Pei didn't respond, Jiang Li kindly pulled her aside and said, "Sixth sister, grandma is talking about you."
Jiang Pei blinked, and the blood drained away from her face. Then, as if oil was poured into a pile of ashes that was about to go out, her pretty face instantly turned red.
For Jiang Pei, who was used to flattering her elders, she felt ashamed to be scolded in public by Madam Feng today.
What’s even more frustrating is that she doesn’t even know the reason!
"Granddaughter, take your leave." Jiang Pei hurriedly bowed to Old Madam Feng, covered her face and ran out.
Jiang Si only felt a whirlwind passing by him, and soon Jiang Pei disappeared.
She just smiled and walked out calmly.
Several people were walking towards us, led by the second wife, Mrs. Xiao, and Jiang Qian. Mrs. Xiao was talking to the people around her as she walked.
There was a hint of smile in Jiang Si's eyes.
The person brought by Xiao's mother and daughter was none other than Liu Xiangu.
Jiang Si certainly wanted to laugh.
What could be more interesting than this play? I believe that when the play ends, my second aunt and second cousin will never forget it for the rest of their lives.
"Fourth sister is here to pay respects to grandma." The two sides got closer and Jiang Qian spoke first.
Xiao glanced at Jiang Qian in surprise.
Qian'er knew about Jiang Si's disrespect towards her, and Qian'er herself had even suffered a lot from this damn girl. Why was Qian'er still so polite to her now?
Jiang Qian seemed not to notice Xiao's gaze, and a gentle smile always hung on the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Si knelt slightly to greet him, and gave Jiang Qian a meaningful look: "Second sister has been coming back quite frequently recently. Didn't grandmother tell you to stay in the mansion and serve your parents-in-law?"
Jiang Qian bit her lip subconsciously and clenched her hands in her sleeves.
She could not help but hear the sarcasm in Jiang Si's words. Until now, she had no idea what had provoked Jiang Si to come with guns and sticks as soon as he saw her. If he could not turn against her right now, why would she, as the wife of the Marquis of Changxing, welcome her cousin who had broken off the engagement with a smile?
"Grandma said this for my own good, but we as granddaughters can't just think about ourselves. Grandma's eye disease hasn't improved, and I've been worried. When mother said that she would invite the fairy lady personally, I couldn't help but come here." Jiang Qian explained in a soft voice.
How could she miss such a good show? She had to see the people in the first house suffer with her own eyes to vent her anger towards Jiang Si.
On one side was the gentle and modest Jiang Qian, and on the other side was Jiang Si who could hardly hide his temper. The maids and old women following behind Xiao couldn't help but feel indignant for Jiang Qian.
However, no one dared to express this thought at the moment, as they still remembered clearly what happened if they offended the Fourth Girl.
"Aunt, is this the fairy lady?" Jiang Si looked at Fairy Lady Liu with curiosity in his eyes.
The corners of Xiangu Liu's mouth twitched slightly.
This little girl is definitely a monster!
"Yes." Xiao replied calmly, and turned her head to Liu Xian Gu politely, "Please come in, Xian Gu. Our old lady has been waiting for a long time."
Fairy Liu nodded slightly and walked calmly inside. Her back looked quite like an immortal.
Jiang Si turned around and stopped for a moment, then saw the third wife, Mrs. Guo, walking out with Jiang Qiao, followed by Jiang Qian and Jiang Li.
It was obvious that Madam Feng had sent everyone out, leaving only Xiao and Liu Xiangu to discuss matters.
The courtyard of Ci Xin Tang was very spacious. Everyone stood in the yard tacitly. Even the Sixth Miss Jiang Pei, who had just run away in embarrassment, quietly turned back.
Everyone could not hide their curiosity as to whether the fairy invited by the second wife could cure the old lady's eye disease.
Jiang Si stayed naturally.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ah Fu walked out of Ci Xin Hall and asked a little maid to pass on a message to the front yard. Jiang Qian took the opportunity to ask about the situation.
Ah Fu said, "The old lady has ordered the three old masters and the young masters to come back. The fairy lady needs all the masters of the house to be present when she performs the ritual."
After hearing this, Jiang Qian couldn't help but look at Jiang Si, with a smile flashing in her eyes.
This is great. By putting the blame on Jiang Zhan in front of everyone, the eldest wife will not be able to hold her head up for a long time, and the knot in her grandmother's heart about her will also be resolved.
As for Jiang Zhan, although he is the eldest grandson of the family, he is not very ambitious and has completely lost the favor of his grandmother. How can he compare with his brother's bright future?
At this time, the second master Jiang was in the yamen, while Jiang Ancheng and the third master Jiang went out together to manage the Bo Mansion's businesses outside. Jiang Zhan and other grandchildren were studying in different schools, and they returned to the mansion one after another after receiving the news.
When Jiang Ancheng and Mr. Jiang San arrived at Cixin Hall, an incense table had already been set up in the courtyard, with an offering stove and tea on it.
"What is this for?" Jiang Ancheng was shocked when he saw the scene.
"How to do it." Old Madam Feng glanced at her eldest son, "The fairy said that my left eye went blind not because of disease, but because of an evil spirit. Only by getting rid of the evil spirit can my eyes be healed."
"Mother, how can you believe this——"
Madam Feng's face darkened slightly: "Or can you ask a doctor to cure my eyes?"
She was originally skeptical about the fairy lady invited by her second daughter-in-law, but the fairy lady's words were exactly the same as what she had dreamed, so she could not help but believe it.
Deep down, Mrs. Feng was willing to believe it, because it gave her hope that her eyes would get better.
Jiang Ancheng was choked by the question, and after a while he managed to say, "As long as my mother is happy."
Let this witch perform her magic quickly so that this farce can end sooner rather than later.
At this time, Liu Xiangu spoke up: "Old Madam, are all the masters of the mansion here?"
Old Madam Feng looked at Ah Fu.
Ah Fu immediately said, "The Second Young Master hasn't arrived yet."
"Where are the others?"
"Second brother skipped classes again, and the person who came to deliver the letter couldn't find anyone." The third young master Jiang Yuan interrupted.
Liu Xiangu said with a look of sadness: "If you miss the auspicious time today, you will have to wait seven days before you can perform the ritual again."
"This evil creature!"
Old Madam Feng cursed angrily, and then she saw the "evil creature" running in.
"Hey, isn't today the day to worship ancestors? And this is not the right place." Jiang Zhan wondered as he looked at the incense table in the yard.
Everyone: “…”
