Jiang Si stopped and looked at Jiang Pei calmly.

Jiang Pei felt as if she had been slapped in the face hundreds of times in one breath and was completely stunned.

"I originally thought that my sixth sister was still young and might not be able to adapt to leaving home..."

"Second sister--" Jiang Pei murmured, her mind going blank.

Why is she not able to adapt because of her age? She has been here before.

"Okay, sixth sister, I'll have someone send you back first, and second sister will invite you to come and play later." After giving a casual excuse, Jiang Qian didn't care about Jiang Pei's thoughts.

One is a legitimate daughter who has already married and is the wife of the crown prince, and the other is a concubine's daughter who needs to please her stepmother in order to have a hope of finding a decent marriage. Jiang Qian has never really taken this concubine sister seriously.

Among the six sisters in the Bo family, the only one she cared about was Jiang Si.

With such beauty, even though I know her future is limited, as a woman I still can't help but feel jealous.

Jiang Pei looked at Jiang Qian with a pale face.

She had no idea what was going on.

It is true that she is a concubine's daughter, but she and Jiang Qian are both girls from the second wife's house after all. Moreover, Jiang Qian invited her first, but then sent her back. Doesn't she have any respect at all?

Jiang Pei suddenly looked at Jiang Si.

Jiang Si still looked calm and composed.

Jiang Pei's heart dropped.

She had a vague feeling that she had been tricked, and it was she who had jumped into this pit herself. At this moment, she could only cry without tears.

Seeing that Jiang Qian was about to call someone in, Jiang Pei reacted with a start.

She didn't beg Jiang Qian, but instead pulled Jiang Qian's sleeve and said pitifully, "Fourth sister, I was wrong."

Being able to bend and stretch is nothing for a concubine's daughter who grew up under the care of the second wife, Mrs. Xiao.

Seeing that Jiang didn't seem to react, Jiang Pei raised her hand and slapped herself: "I ate too much shit and my mouth stinks. I shouldn't have made Fourth Sister angry. Fourth Sister, please forgive me."

She had already lost face when her grandmother kicked her out of Cixin Hall that time. If she was sent back by her second sister this time, she might never be able to go out again.

The sound of slapping could be heard. Jiang Si looked at the scene coldly, unable to respond.

It was well deserved for a concubine's daughter to marry a good husband, but she got married twice, once she became a widow, and once she was cheated to death.

People are really different.

"Fourth sister, look——" Jiang Qian was happy that Jiang Pei and Jiang Si were confronting each other.

She was the one who hired the person, and being forced by Jiang Si to send Jiang Pei away was no different from being slapped in the face, but she had no choice but to accept it.

Now, the lower Jiang Pei's posture becomes, the more unreasonable she appears.

"Sixth sister, do you really not want to go back?" Jiang Si suddenly asked.

Jiang Pei shook her head subconsciously: "I want to go back with my sisters."

"Since Sixth Sister has fulfilled her bet, it's up to you."

Seeing that Jiang seemed to be relenting, Jiang Qian smiled and said, "Okay, we are all sisters, there is no conflict that cannot be resolved, it is better for us to go together and come back together. I have prepared food in the flower hall, sisters, please come and eat with me."

"Second sister, should we go and pay our respects to the Marquis' wife?" Fifth Miss Jiang Li asked timidly.

"No need. The Marquis's wife has a lot of things to do. I have already mentioned inviting you to stay for a while, and she told the sisters to do whatever they want."

Jiang Li seemed to heave a sigh of relief, lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

Jiang Pei's face was still red from being slapped, and she lowered her head and followed the others to the flower hall.

The dining table had already been set in the flower hall, and soon the maids came in carrying fruits and cakes.

"Sisters, please sit down." Jiang Qian entertained everyone with a smile and chat, as if nothing had happened.

However, the atmosphere had cooled down and the fresh fruits and vegetables tasted bland.

Jiang Qian didn't care about it.

For her, as long as Jiang Si could come, her goal was achieved, and she didn't care about anything else.

There were footsteps, and a young man walked in with a smile: "Is the meal ready? I'm so hungry——"

Halfway through his words, he seemed to see Jiang Si and others, and stopped talking abruptly.

Jiang Pei was the first to stand up: "Brother-in-law."

Jiang Si followed Jiang Qiao and the others to greet the man.

This thin and pale-faced young man was Cao Xingyu, the eldest son of Marquis Changxing.

Jiang Si and others bowed their heads to greet them, but Cao Xingyu said nothing. He took this opportunity to look directly at Jiang Si.

He has been obsessed with this beautiful sister-in-law since he first met her at his wedding with Jiang Qian.

At that time, the little girl was just in her teens. She stood with her sisters and looked at him expressionlessly. She was like a flower bud on a snowy mountain. That kind of lonely beauty just tickled his heart.

At that time, he thought that he would get this little girl sooner or later, so that he would not be in vain as a man.

Jiang Qian was so angry when she saw Cao Xingyu like this.

After those experiences, she no longer cared what kind of woman this man was thinking about, but that didn't mean she could tolerate Cao Xingyu doing something stupid in public.

She invited her sisters to come over, saying that if anything went wrong, her grandmother would eat her alive.

"I forgot to send someone to tell you that the sisters are here." Jiang Qian walked quickly to Cao Xingyu's side and pinched him secretly through the cover of her sleeve.

Cao Xingyu came back to his senses, looking refreshed: "I didn't know why my sisters came here at this time. I was rude. Qian'er, you treat my sisters well. I'll go to the study to eat."

Jiang Qian breathed a sigh of relief: "Go slowly, my lord."

With Cao Xingyu's coming and going, the atmosphere became more lively.

"Second sister, does your brother-in-law eat with you every day?"

"Yeah." Jiang Qian raised her lips and smiled.

"My brother-in-law and my second sister are so loving." Jiang Pei smiled.

Jiang Qian tightened her grip on the chopsticks, her knuckles turning pale, but she smiled, "Don't tease my second sister."

The meal was finished in a fairly harmonious atmosphere. Jiang Qian took a few sips from her teacup and suggested, "The garden of the Marquis' Mansion is very beautiful. Sisters, don't be restrained and go out and have fun."

"Second sister isn't going?" Jiang Li asked.

Jiang Qian smiled slightly: "Go, of course I have to accompany my sisters for a walk."

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Jiang Qian was also going.

Maybe it's because I'm used to being cautious, but I always feel a little uneasy when I arrive in a strange place.

"The stones for this rockery were transported from Nanhu Lake. The pavilion on the mountain is called Bayin Pavilion. This season is the best time to sit there..." Jiang Qian said in a gentle voice, looking like a good sister.

Jiang Qiao pointed and said, "Second sister, the peony flowers there are blooming so beautifully. Let's go enjoy the flowers first."

Jiang Qian was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I am not used to the scent of peony. How about this, I will go to the pavilion to rest, you guys can do whatever you want."

"Second sister, I also want to sit in the pavilion." Jiang Pei said immediately.

Jiang Li nodded, thinking that less trouble is worse than more.

Jiang Qiao was jealous of the peony flowers. Seeing that no one was going there, she pulled Jiang Si aside and asked, "Do you want to enjoy the flowers?"

"Appreciation." Jiang Si nodded happily.

Jiang Qian calmly watched Jiang Si and Jiang Qiao walk towards the peony flowers, her eyes becoming colder.

"It's really strange that the peonies in the mansion are still blooming so well at this time." Standing in the flowers, Jiang Qiao took a deep breath and then sighed, "Such a large area of ​​peonies, but the fragrance is a little too strong."

Amid the deep red and light green, Jiang's face suddenly turned pale as snow.

She smelled the scent of death in the rich sweet fragrance.
