After a moment of body tenseness, Jiang Si looked relaxed.
Although there was a curtain embroidered with peonies and there was some distance between them, the familiar fragrance told her that the person behind the curtain was Jiang Qiao.
The door curtain was quickly lifted, and Jiang Qiao walked in holding a thin blanket, followed by two maids with embarrassed looks on their faces.
"Fourth sister, I really can't sleep. Let me sleep with you for one night." Jiang Qiao took three or two steps to Jiang Si and begged softly.
Jiang seems to be frowning.
"Fourth sister, can you bear to see me unable to sleep all night?"
While Jiang Si was still hesitating, Jiang Qiao had already taken off his shoes without any hesitation and sat on the bed. It seemed that he had made up his mind not to leave.
Jiang Si sighed: "Just one night, Third Sister will go back to sleep tomorrow."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Jiang Qiao showed a successful smile, then glanced at the two maids who came over, "Okay, you can go and rest outside."
Since it was a short stay, Jiang Qian specifically mentioned in her post that the younger sisters could come over and everything would be prepared. Therefore, the four sisters did not bring any maids with them. These two maids were assigned by Jiang Qian.
Neither Jiang Qiao nor Jiang Si had the habit of letting strange maids sleep in the same room.
The two maids looked at each other and did not move for a moment.
"What?" Jiang Qiao's face darkened.
The two maids then knelt down and retreated quickly.
Jiang Qiao lay down and complained, "It's not as convenient as my own maid."
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Just make do with it. We don't like it. These maids were carefully selected by Second Sister. Third Sister, please sleep inside."
Jiang Qiao pulled up the quilt and shook her head: "I'm used to sleeping outside."
"I didn't expect Third Sister to have so many requirements for sleeping."
"Yes, I know this is a bad habit, but I can't change it even if I want to. Fourth sister, why are you still wearing your coat?"
"I'm not used to sleeping in just my shirt when I'm in a strange place."
"It seems that everyone has his or her own habits. It's getting late, let's go to bed." Jiang Qiao chuckled and blew out the lamp beside the bed.
The room was pitch black at first, then slowly became brighter. The moonlight pouring in from the window cast a hazy silver glow on everything.
"Fourth sister."
"Um?"
There was a moment of silence in the darkness. Jiang Qiao turned over and faced outwards: "Nothing, go to sleep."
Soon after, the sound of even breathing could be heard, very clear in this strange and hazy darkness.
Jiang Si looked up at the silver hook on the top of the tent and sighed silently.
She was willing to take risks, so she had the ability to protect herself. However, she never expected that Jiang Qiao, whom she had never dealt with before, would inexplicably pester her.
Jiang Qian and his wife's target is her, and Jiang Qiao is inseparable from her, which will undoubtedly increase the danger.
She had no doubt about the shamelessness of the couple. Since they could do something to her, they would certainly not show mercy to Jiang Qiao.
Just for one night, she would never allow Jiang Qiao to sleep with her tomorrow night.
As for tonight——
A cold light flashed in Jiang Si's eyes.
Even if everything was peaceful tonight, if the couple had any plans, she would never allow them to hurt innocent people.
As the night deepened, Jiang closed his eyes and became increasingly sleepy.
The sound of light footsteps was heard. Jiang Si suddenly opened his eyes, then closed them again.
She really underestimated the shamelessness and boldness of the Prince of Changxing. It was only the first night, and he couldn't wait to come!
Is he so reckless that he intends to force his way through?
This thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Si silently denied it in his heart.
After all, the prince of Changxing was not a madman. Breaking into his sister-in-law's residence in the middle of the night with the intention of molesting her was at least a crime punishable by exile.
Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Si to shout out in order to prove the other party's guilt. If she did that, her and Jiang Qiao's reputation would be completely ruined.
As for the previous life——
Jiang Si smiled.
In her previous life, he just bullied her because she was a new widow, and was sure that she had suffered an injustice and dared not speak out.
The Prince of Changxing had a good plan in order to save his reputation and satisfy his own dirty thoughts that he couldn't show to others.
The footsteps came closer and then stopped, and a corner of the hanging gauze curtain was gently lifted up.
Jiang Si still had his eyes closed, his hand hidden in the quilt gently stroking the gold bracelet on his wrist.
Although rationally speaking, the Prince of Changxing would not do anything when he came tonight, she still had to be on guard against him suddenly going crazy.
After living her life again, she has already understood one truth: if you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall; if you rely on water, the water will flow away; only yourself can be your greatest support.
The small room seemed to have no air flowing because there was a man there, and he was the man Jiang Si hated the most. There was a suffocating and disgusting feeling.
Jiang Si remained silent, quietly waiting for the other party's next move.
There was no next move. The Prince of Changxing just stood there motionless, with only his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.
The breathing sound was like thunder to Jiang Si, but in fact it was not enough to wake up the sleeping person.
The sound of Jiang Qiao's even and long breathing made Jiang Si feel a little relieved.
She couldn't imagine how Jiang Qiao would react if she suddenly opened her eyes and found a man standing beside the bed.
If such an accident really happened, she could only beat the Prince of Changxing half to death first.
Jiang Si didn't want that to happen.
It was too easy to kill one person, but it would drag them who lived in Changxing Marquis's Mansion into it. What she wanted was for the Changxing Marquis's son to be ruined and disgraced, and even if he had to die, he would be despised by the world.
Cao Xingyu stood there for a long time, his eyes had already adapted to the darkness, and he stared at the girl's sleeping face almost greedily.
He had waited for this day for so long that the people and things that had excited him in the past could no longer arouse his impulse.
Cao Xingyu swallowed his saliva and clenched his fists tightly to suppress the desire to reach out and touch it.
He retracted his gaze and fell on Jiang Qiao.
If this troublesome girl hadn't been sleeping here, he might have been able to touch that face tonight.
Yes, they are sleeping so soundly, it shouldn’t be a big deal to touch them.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Cao Xingyu's eyes suddenly became eager, and Jiang Si could feel those two burning gazes even with his eyes closed.
Jiang Si lightly tapped the gold bracelet on his wrist.
Cao Xingyu licked his lips and stretched out his hand.
This kind of nervousness actually made him excited.
Jiang Qiao, who was sleeping outside, suddenly turned over and muttered a few words.
Cao Xingyu withdrew his hand, and the excitement in his eyes was gradually obscured by the thick mist.
Now is not the time!
He would wait patiently until Jiang Si got married and even had children, and would not lose her innocence and seek death like the little girl before taking action.
Girls from wealthy families are so troublesome, unlike girls from ordinary families. If you like them, you can just quietly bring them into the mansion.
Cao Xingyu raised his eyebrows impatiently, took a lingering look at the girl's delicate and flawless face, and quietly retreated.
Jiang Si slowly opened his eyes and looked at the slightly shaking door curtain with a cold look in his eyes.
Since the other party was so anxious, she was not going to wait any longer and would go to the garden tonight to find out what was going on.
At this moment, Jiang Qiao, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly sat up.
