Chapter 60 Neighbor's Troubles



Ah Man believed it deeply: "Yes, it is said that her intestines were all over the floor, and the maid sent by the Yongchang Earl's Mansion to invite her was so scared that she peed her pants. However, I think this is retribution-"

Having said this, Ah Man suddenly stopped talking, his almond-shaped eyes widened.

"What?" Jiang Si raised his eyebrows.

Ah Man stammered: "Girl, girl, you said the other day that evildoers will be punished by God, is it true that -"

"Um?"

Ah Man took a deep breath and said, "Could it be that you have already seen that Liu Xiangu's forehead is black and she will not live long?"

"Cough cough." Jiang Si couldn't help coughing.

Ah Qiao was busy patting Jiang Si's back and glared at Ah Man: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not a fortune teller."

Jiang Si didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Don't count. If you walk by the river often, your shoes will get wet. If you do too many evil things, even if God doesn't take it away, someone else will."

Ah Man sat on a small stool with his hands on his chin: "Which hero did this?"

"Okay, get back to work. Why are you telling a girl such scary things?" Aqiao pulled Aman out.

Not long after, Ah Qiao came back with a visiting card in her hand: "Miss, this is from Miss Xie of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion."

Xie Qingyao had visited Jiang Si twice since Jiang Si fell ill at a banquet more than a month ago and later called off the marriage proposal with the Duke of Anguo. He was considered a rare close friend of Jiang Si.

Jiang Si smiled while holding the post.

Xie Qingyao is a lively person, and this is the time to exchange gossip with her.

Jiang Si picked up his pen and wrote a reply and gave it to Aqiao to send out.

The Yongchang Marquis's Mansion was right next to the Dongping Marquis's Mansion, and Xie Qingyao arrived there in a short while.

Xie Qingyao, who is about the same age as Jiang Si, has an apple-shaped face and a pair of dimples on her cheeks. She smiled before she spoke: "Asi, I'm here."

Sitting in front of the tea table, Jiang Si had already brewed a pot of tea, and there were several plates of snacks on the table.

Xie Qingyao sat down opposite without any hesitation.

The girl's cheeks were slightly red and her eyes were bright. Jiang Si knew that this was a sign that her friend had a lot to say.

"Drink some tea to moisten your throat first." A cup of tea was pushed in front of Xie Qingyao.

Xie Qingyao took two sips of the wine, lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Something scary happened today."

"Puchi." Ah Man, who was standing aside to serve, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xie Qingyao looked at Ah Man in confusion.

Ah Man lowered his head quickly and put on an honest look.

Xie Qingyao knew that Jiang Si was not a very smart maid, so she didn't care. She put her hands on the table and leaned forward: "The fairy Liu who came to your house to exorcise evil spirits was killed last night!"

Seeing that Jiang Si didn't react, Xie Qingyao pushed her and said, "Are you surprised? Are you scared? Give me some reaction."

"Unexpected, scary!" Jiang Si nodded seriously.

Xie Qingyao stared at Jiang Si with eyes wide open for a while, and said in a frustrated tone: "You are just like this, even if you are scared to death, you will hold it in."

When she was little, she didn't like Jiang Si. She always felt that she was not the same type of person as Jiang Si, who dressed beautifully and even had the perfect curve of his mouth when he smiled.

Until one day, she pestered her brother to go out to play, and after she sneaked out, she was dumped by her brother who was at the age where he hated both cats and dogs.

She was standing stupidly on the street holding a candied haws, and was surrounded by several naughty kids who pulled her skirt and braids. It was Jiang Si who directed A Man, who was half a head taller than the other kids, to rescue her.

From then on, she depended on Jiang Si.

Her daughter Ah Si is as beautiful as a flower, with a cold face but a warm heart. She has so many merits that you can't count them on one hand. She is much more reliable than her bastard brother.

Jiang seemed to be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

In the past, she really had too much self-esteem.

The fact that she lost her mother at a young age and her father's title could not be passed on to the next generation brought her a lot of strange looks in this circle. Whether it was sympathy or neglect and contempt, it was not what she wanted.

She had to show that she didn't care and looked down on others, as if that way she wouldn't be looked down upon.

However, after experiencing those life and death events, she had grown up and awakened in a very short period of time.

"After all, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I can't say I'm scared." Jiang Si picked up a piece of rose pastry and handed it over.

The rose-shaped pastry looked extremely delicate. Xie Qingyao took a bite and sighed: "Ah Qiao is such a treasure. This pastry becomes even more delicious when made."

After finishing a piece of rose cake, Xie Qingyao wiped the corner of his mouth and sighed, "Liu Xiangu is so capable that even my mother regards her as a living god. Who would have thought that she would die like this?"

"Is it your aunt who wants to invite Liu Xiangu to your house?"

Xie Qingyao and Jiang Si talked about everything, so there was nothing to hide. "Yes, my mother didn't tell me why we invited Liu Xiangu to come. Today, when I heard that Liu Xiangu had killed her, my mother sat there for a long time and even cried. I couldn't help but come to you to ask, is Liu Xiangu really that capable?"

"Since she was able to cure my grandmother's eye disease, I think Fairy Liu must have some real skills." Jiang Si said calmly.

She promised Liu Xiangu fame and fortune, and she kept her word, but Liu Xiangu was not destined to enjoy them.

Liu Xiangu felt that what they had done to those innocent girls and brothers deserved death, and she could not feel the slightest sympathy for them.

Moreover, with Liu Xiangu's current fame, if she wanted to do evil, she could do great evil. So the sin of her who pushed Liu Xiangu to this point would be great.

It can be said that from the very beginning when she sent Ah Man to find Liu Xiangu, she was actually pushing Liu Xiangu towards the underworld in advance.

"Then I am even more worried." Xie Qingyao frowned in distress. "My mother burst into tears when she heard about Liu Xiangu's sudden death. It is obvious that she had high hopes for Liu Xiangu's help. What kind of difficulties did my mother encounter?"

What difficulties has Lady Yongchang encountered during this period?

Jiang Si thought about it carefully.

At this time in her previous life, her marriage was arranged earlier, and she was in such a hurry that she couldn't pay much attention to what was happening outside. If there were any news about the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion that could be spread outside, there were indeed quite a few.

For some reason, Yongchang Bo rested in a pigpen of a family on the street. The family discovered him when they heard the pig's anxious squealing early in the morning.

Naturally, the Yongchangbo sleeping pig incident instantly topped the annual gossip list in Beijing, bringing huge benefits to people who are keen on gossip.

In addition to being embarrassed, the direct impact of this incident was that the woman who was originally negotiating a marriage with Xie Yinlou, the son of the Earl of Yongchang, had her plan dropped.

If you have a mentally ill father, who knows if his son will also go crazy and sleep like a pig.

Jiang seemed to remember that Prince Xie, who could be considered her childhood sweetheart, was still a bachelor until the year she died.

"Generally speaking, if a woman encounters a difficult problem, it is most likely related to her husband." Jiang Si reminded carefully.

After all, she is your good friend's elder. She can't just say that your father will die soon and then your brother's arranged marriage will fall through.

Xie Qingyao slammed the table suddenly: "Could it be that my father has a mistress outside?"
