Jiang Si stuffed the glutinous rice flower into Ah Man's hand and said, "Second brother, let's go into the mansion."

Jiang Zhan grabbed Jiang Si and said, "Don't go through the main entrance. Be careful of being squeezed."

Jiang Si shook his head: "No, just go through the main entrance."

"Hey——" Seeing that Jiang Si had already raised his feet and walked forward, Jiang Zhan had to quickly catch up.

There are so many people here, it would be terrible if someone was so blind as to bump into my sister.

"Make way, all of you."

When Jiang Zhan cleared the way for Jiang Si, Jiang Si had already walked quickly to the vermilion gate.

The steward was startled when he saw Jiang Si appear, and then he greeted her, "The fourth lady is back."

"Yeah." Jiang Si nodded modestly, pausing slightly.

At this moment, something unexpected happened. The woman in blue, who was not far from the steward, suddenly grabbed Jiang Si's wrist and asked in a sharp voice, "Are you the master of the house?"

"Let go!" Jiang Zhan strode over and hit the woman.

"Brother, don't be impulsive."

Although Jiang Si only said this softly, Jiang Zhan stopped immediately and shouted at the woman, "It would be fine if you could involve our Bo's Mansion in the matter between you and Liu Xiangu, but why are you holding my sister hostage for no reason?"

Judging from Jiang's attire and the words just spoken by the steward, anyone with a discerning eye would naturally know that this is a girl from the Bo's Mansion, and her identity cannot be concealed.

When the onlookers heard this, they couldn't help but talk about it.

The death of a woman's child is certainly sympathetic, but there is no reason to hold the girl hostage. Not to mention that she is from a wealthy family, even if a poor family encounters such a thing, the father and brothers will also be troubled.

"Sister-in-law, please let go quickly. If our girl gets frightened, the master of the house will be angry..." The steward advised in a good-tempered tone, secretly complaining to Jiang Si in his heart.

The fourth girl was the same. She saw so many people gathered here, but she didn't know to go around to the back door and had to bump into us.

Instead, the woman held Jiang Si tighter and said loudly, "I don't care. Since I can't see other masters in your house, I'll take her as my wife."

Jiang Zhan was furious, but saw Jiang Si shaking his head slightly at him.

Long before Jiang Si asserted that Ji Chongyi would not be able to marry another noble lady after breaking off the engagement with her, Jiang Zhan had admired his sister's intelligence. Now, seeing Jiang Si's actions, he gradually calmed down and just stared at the woman without saying a word.

Jiang Si glanced at the steward's face with the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth curled up through the gauze.

This woman really did not let her down. As expected, she was stopped as she walked through the door.

Although the customs in the Great Zhou were open and the restrictions on women were gradually loosening, it was not uncommon for a small family to raise a fierce young lady who dared to chase and beat men in the street. However, it would still give people a bad impression if a girl from a wealthy family rushed to argue with someone who came to cause trouble.

Jiang doesn't seem to care about what people think, but it is better to avoid it if possible.

"Sister-in-law, you are pulling me, do you want me to give you an explanation?" the girl with a veil asked softly.

The woman was stunned, as if she had not expected that the other party would not be annoyed even after being offended, and would be so easy to talk to.

Suddenly, her behavior seemed increasingly rude and disrespectful to others.

"I want to see Liu Xiangu, take her to see the official!"

"Why did the sister-in-law want to take Liu Xiangu to see the official?"

When Jiang Si asked this, the woman burst into tears: "She killed my son..."

Jiang Si patiently waited for the woman to tell him the cause of the child's death again, and then said, "I sympathize with your experience, sister-in-law, but I wonder when your child died?"

The woman paused, and used a sharp tone to cover up her sudden panic: "Last year, what happened?"

Jiang Si sighed.

The people of the capital were very principled when it came to the lively scene. Once the parties involved reached a crucial point, they would naturally listen with both ears erect, and no one would speak. Therefore, the sigh was clearly heard by those who were closer.

Why is this noble lady from the Earl's Mansion sighing?

People's curiosity was immediately aroused.

Jiang Si then continued, "Let my sister-in-law know that my grandmother became blind a few days ago, so my second aunt invited Liu Xiangu to perform a ritual. Liu Xiangu exorcised the evil spirit and said that my grandmother's eyes would be healed within three days."

At this point, Jiang Si looked at the crowd and said, "I think everyone has heard about this, right?"

"I heard about it. Who doesn't know about this?" Everyone laughed.

Jiang Si looked at the woman and said in a serious tone, "Since the elder sister-in-law's child was in trouble last year, why didn't you take Liu Xiangu to see the official at that time, but waited until now?"

The woman rolled her eyes and cried, "Young lady, how could you know the hardships we ordinary people have gone through? In your opinion, the Fairy Liu who is always available is a big shot we cannot afford to offend. She killed my son and not only refused to admit it, she also ordered people to drive our family out of the capital. At that time, our family was old, young, and sick. We are just recovering now..."

The woman's crying immediately aroused the sympathy of the onlookers.

"I see." Jiang Si nodded. "Then please wait for another day, sister-in-law. Fairy Liu said that my grandmother's eye disease will be cured within three days, and tomorrow is the last day."

"But your housekeeper just said that he would never protect Liu Xiangu!"

Jiang Si smiled slightly: "That's right. After tomorrow, Liu Xiangu will definitely leave the Bo's Mansion. At that time, my sister-in-law can take her to see the officials or settle the matter privately. The Bo's Mansion will definitely not interfere."

"No!" the woman became excited. "What if Fairy Liu runs away secretly after tomorrow? Where can I find her then? I must take her to see the official now!"

Jiang Si slowly pulled his hand out of the woman's. "I'm confused that my sister-in-law can't wait even a day. Could it be that she deliberately came here at this time to affect my grandmother's treatment?"

"How can you wrongly accuse someone, young lady? I'm just afraid that Fairy Liu will run away."

Jiang Si smiled and asked loudly, "May I ask everyone, can Liu Xiangu secretly leave the Bo Mansion after tomorrow?"

Everyone laughed: "Of course not."

The woman looked at everyone with a pale face, her expression blank.

Someone kindly explained: "Big sister, don't you know that we are all participating in the betting. If the old lady's eye disease is cured, whether we win or lose, we must see what the fairy lady with supernatural powers looks like. If the old lady's eye disease cannot be cured, hehe, we must take a look, right?"

If Liu Xiangu became a living god, it wouldn't matter whether the buyer wins or loses. But if she became a liar, the losers would think about beating her up to vent their anger.

"So don't worry, big sister. We are watching the whole circle of walls around the mansion. Unless Fairy Liu can fly, she will not be able to escape."

The woman was stunned for a moment.

When I told her about it, I didn't tell her it would be so difficult.

"Sister-in-law, you understand, with so many enthusiastic neighbors watching, Fairy Liu can't run away. If you wait one more day, it won't delay my grandmother's treatment, and the Bo's family will be grateful for your consideration." Having said this, Jiang Si bowed slightly to the woman.

"Miss Jiang is right. We guarantee you that Fairy Liu will not be able to escape." Everyone said.

The woman couldn't help but look at the steward.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the manager quietly stepped back and prepared to go in to report the news.

"Manager Wang, why don't you prepare some tea and snacks for this sister-in-law. She is considerate of us, so we should also be considerate of her." Jiang Si said lightly.
