Jiang Si stopped the steward with a few words and strode towards the mansion.
The steward hurriedly told the doorman to prepare some refreshments for the woman and quickly followed.
Jiang Zhan put a hand on the steward's shoulder: "Why are you running so fast?"
The steward used to be quite disapproving of this useless second son, but Jiang Si still had the influence of teaching the kitchen lady Liu a lesson a few days ago, so he was a little more cautious at this moment: "The second master has said that he wants to send Liu Xiangu away, and just now the fourth lady has kept her here. I have to report this to the second master."
Jiang Zhan glared at the steward and warned him, "Be careful with your words!"
Not long after Jiang Si walked in, he saw Liu Xiangu walking towards him, accompanied by a woman servant, with a little girl behind her carrying a small bag.
"Are you going out, Fairy?"
"Fourth Miss, I am leaving the Earl's Mansion." In front of others, Liu Xiangu acted distant.
Jiang Si frowned: "If I remember correctly, my grandmother told my second aunt to entertain the fairy for three days. It's only the second day now, why is the fairy leaving?"
"Miss Four, you don't know that this fairy lady has a murder case on her hands. How dare we keep such a person in our house? The second old master said--"
"I am talking to the fairy lady, why should Mama Xiao speak?"
Mrs. Xiao's face immediately turned red, and she argued, "This is what the second master meant."
Jiang Si looked at her coldly: "Mother Xiao means that my second uncle is the one who makes the decisions in this mansion?"
"This..." Mrs. Xiao didn't respond, but she sneered in her heart.
Everyone knows that the Earl's Mansion can no longer be called the Earl's Mansion when it comes to the second young master's generation. And the eldest young master is so promising, so with the second old master paving the way for him in the officialdom, his future will surely be bright.
By then, the Jiang family will be dominated by the second branch.
"Haha, I can't make the decision. Does Si'er want to make the decision?" A lukewarm voice sounded, and Old Master Jiang Er suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Si.
The steward was standing behind Mr. Jiang Er, and apparently took advantage of the time when Jiang Si was talking to Liu Xiangu to inform Mr. Jiang Er.
Jiang Si bowed slightly to Old Master Jiang Er and said, "Uncle, you are insulting me. What I meant is that it is such a serious matter concerning Grandmother's eye disease that Grandmother must make the decision."
Elder Jiang Er showed no emotion on his face: "It was your grandmother who agreed to let Xiangu Liu leave the Bo's Mansion."
Jiang Si immediately looked embarrassed: "Did grandma agree to this? My niece was reckless. Seeing that Liu Xiangu left early, she was anxious and kept her here."
"It's fine if you didn't know before. From now on, you can play with Li'er and the others more often and stay less involved in the adults' affairs." Mr. Jiang Er glanced at Mrs. Xiao, "Why don't you take them away yet!"
Jiang Si took a step forward and blocked Mrs. Xiao's way: "We still can't let Fairy Liu leave now."
"Si'er, don't be willful!"
Jiang Si smiled: "How dare my niece act so willfully in front of my second uncle? It's because I just told the neighbors to keep Liu Xiangu and let her leave tomorrow. If I let Liu Xiangu leave now, wouldn't our mansion give people the impression that we go back on our words?"
Master Jiang Er's face darkened.
Jiang Si pretended not to notice and continued, "What's more, if we rush to comply with an ordinary woman who comes to our house to ask for trouble, others will think that the Bo family is weak and can be bullied, and there will be more trouble in the future..."
"Well said!" Jiang Ancheng strode over, "Second brother, since Si'er has already kept the person, then stay for one more day."
Jiang Er's face darkened: "Brother, did you agree to let Liu Xiangu leave in Ci Xin Hall?"
"It's a different time now. I think what Si'er said makes a lot of sense."
"Brother!" Old Master Jiang was shocked.
How could he say such shameless words?
Jiang Ancheng looked impatient: "It's not a big deal. Si'er has already spoken. Are you going to embarrass her in front of outsiders? Girls are not like boys. They are thin-skinned. Besides, it was your idea to invite Liu Xiangu here, and it was also your idea to ask her to leave now. What are you doing?"
The corner of Master Jiang's mouth twitched fiercely.
It was never his idea to ask a fortune teller for help. It was all that unlucky stupid woman's doing!
"Okay, you can stay here. You can go wherever you want after tomorrow. I'll go tell my mother now."
"Father, I'll go with you." Jiang Si chased after him with a smile.
Jiang Zhan squinted his eyes at Jiang Si and whispered, "Should I thank my second brother for bringing in reinforcements in time?"
"I'll make a purse for my second brother later." Jiang Si was obviously in a good mood.
Master Jiang II watched coldly as the first wife's family happily walked towards Cixintang. He told the maid to take Fairy Liu back to the guest room first and hurriedly caught up.
"This is the eye-improving pill passed down from my ancestors. Madam, take one pill each morning and evening for seven days. Your eye disease should get better." In Ci Xin Hall, a middle-aged man with a goatee took out a small white porcelain pot that was not even as big as a palm.
The head maid Ah Fu took the small altar over.
"Madam, don't worry. Mr. Zhang is well-known in the local area for treating eye diseases. If your daughter-in-law had not just heard about it, she would have invited him long ago. She would not have been fooled by a fortune-teller." Second wife Xiao looked ashamed.
Old Madam Feng nodded with a stern face.
Since someone has died from drinking the magic water made by Fairy Liu, whether it is true or not, this magic water should never be drunk again. As for the doctor who is good at treating eye diseases, you can just give it a try.
"Afu, go get a glass of water and help the old lady take her medicine." Xiao ordered.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Si walked in.
When Xiao saw Jiang Si, she frowned subconsciously.
Why is this little bitch getting involved again at this time?
As long as the old lady takes the eye-improving pills, the matter of Liu Xiangu will be completely over.
If the old lady's eyesight gets better, she will say it is the credit of the eye-brightening pills. If it doesn't get better, it doesn't matter. After all, it is extremely difficult to make blind eyes see again.
Jiang Si walked up to Old Madam Feng and said, "Grandma, you can't take this eye-brightening pill now."
"What's wrong?" After one of Mrs. Feng's eyes was damaged, she changed from her initial irritability to suppressed calm.
"Fairy Liu said at the time that your eyes would be healed within three days. What if you take this pill now and something happens that affects the recovery of your eyes?"
"Fourth Miss, Liu Xiangu is a liar. We can't delay the old lady's treatment because of her words."
Jiang Si suddenly smiled: "Second Aunt, you personally invited Liu Xiangu here."
Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said with embarrassment, "At that time, I only heard of the reputation of Liu Xiangu, but I didn't know that she had killed someone with her medicine."
"Then can Second Aunt guarantee that Mr. Zhang has nothing else to do?"
"How can this be possible? Since the young lady from your noble family says so, I will take my leave now!"
"Mr. Zhang, please stay." Xiao hurriedly stopped him and said coldly, "Fourth Miss, Mr. Zhang is a famous doctor in the area."
Jiang Si said bluntly: "Liu Xiangu is also a very powerful psychic."
"That's enough. If you want to quarrel, get out now!"
Jiang Si immediately regained her obedient appearance, "Grandma, both Fairy Liu and Mr. Zhang were invited by my second aunt. Although Fairy Liu was invited by someone, I think both Fairy Liu and Mr. Zhang must have something special given their fame. To be safe, you should wait for another day. If Fairy Liu's ritual doesn't work, you can take Mr. Zhang's eye-brightening pills without any delay."
Old Madam Feng was silent for a moment and nodded silently.
It was only one day. She could wait.
Xiao's lips moved, feeling very angry.
When did Jiang Si become so good at talking that he actually managed to coax the old lady into changing her mind! Fortunately, from what her sister-in-law had learned from her mother's family, Liu Xiangu was a charlatan. She didn't believe that a miracle would happen if she waited one more day.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. After the news of Liu Xiangu's killing spread, all major casinos had set the bet on the old lady's eye disease to be cured to 100 to 10.
Ah Fei thought about it again and again, and quietly took out a few strings of copper coins to put pressure on Madam Feng.
This was the money he had saved for his wife over the years. Even though he wouldn't make much money from it, it was better than the girl losing everything.
As the sun moved westward and was about to set, countless pairs of eyes were waiting eagerly outside the Dongping Marquis's mansion.
It’s almost dark, so it’s time to get the results, right?
