Jiang Qiao woke up to the melodious sound of insects.

She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and suddenly her expression became dull.

After what happened last night, how could she sleep so soundly?

"Fourth sister——" Jiang Qiao looked around and found Jiang Si was still sleeping. She breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a while, she reached out and pushed Jiang Si, "Fourth sister, wake up."

Jiang Si slowly opened his eyes, his eyes moving: "Third sister?"

"It's getting late, get up."

Jiang Si got up and said as he sorted out his clothes: "I fell asleep in the middle of the night and woke up late."

Jiang Qiao was a little embarrassed when she heard this: "I don't know why I fell into a deep sleep..."

"It's not surprising. Some people can't sleep after a big shock, while others are exhausted and sleep even more deeply."

Is that so?

Jiang Qiao always felt that she was not such a generous person. Thinking of what happened last night, a shadow still lingered in her heart: "Fourth sister, do we really want to continue living here?"

"No, let's go back today."

"Didn't you say last night—"

"It's a different time now." Jiang Si approached Jiang Qiao and whispered in her ear, "I found a way to deal with that beast. I don't need to stay in the Marquis' Mansion anymore."

Jiang Qiao's eyes lit up, and she wanted to say something, but she glanced at the door and swallowed it back, shaking Jiang Qian's hand tightly: "That's good, we'll say goodbye to Jiang Qian when we see her later!"

Jiang Si immediately noticed the subtle change in Jiang Qiao's attitude towards Jiang Qian.

Although Jiang Qiao and Jiang Qian were not close in the past, they would never call each other by their names like they do now.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. If she dares to stop me, I will fight her." Jiang Qiao squeezed her eyes at Jiang Si.

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Okay."

As the two sisters were whispering, the door curtain embroidered with peony flowers was suddenly lifted, and two maids in green hurried in, carrying soft towels, washbasins and other items, and bowed in unison: "Excuse me, young ladies, I am late."

After a while, Jiang Si said calmly, "It's okay, just help us wash up."

After they finished washing and dressing for a while, one of the maids said, "Ladies, please follow me to have breakfast with the deceased's wife."

Jiang Si and Jiang Qiao looked at each other, then joined hands and followed the maid to Jiang Qian.

The fifth girl Jiang Li and the sixth girl Jiang Pei had arrived earlier.

Seeing the two of them coming in side by side, Jiang Pei said, "You two sisters came so late. I couldn't help but go look for you."

After being severely slapped in the face by Jiang Si yesterday, Jiang Pei has obviously restrained herself a lot.

Jiang Qiao curled her lips and smiled: "The accommodation arranged by my second sister is too comfortable. I slept so well that I don't want to get up."

Jiang Pei couldn't help but curl her lips.

The third sister is so shameless that she can talk about being lazy so openly.

Jiang Qian chuckled: "I'll be at ease if my sisters live comfortably. It's rare for you to come here, so you must stay with me for a few more days this time."

"Of course. Second sister rarely goes home on weekdays. We are here just in time to keep her company and relieve her boredom." Jiang Pei said flatteringly.

Jiang Qian's eyes did not look in Jiang Pei's direction, as if she was looking at Jiang inadvertently.

Jiang Qiao was about to open her mouth when Jiang Si gently touched her hand.

Jiang Qiao pursed her lips and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​speaking.

"Second sister, should we greet the Marquis today?"

Hearing Jiang Si say this, Jiang Qiao agreed, "Yes, it would be fine if we just arrived yesterday. If we don't show up this morning, the Marquis's wife will blame the girl from the Bo's Mansion for not knowing the rules."

Seeing Jiang Si and Jiang Qiao both say this, Jiang Qian smiled and said, "We are waiting for you to come and go together."

"Oh, then aren't we late?" Jiang Qiao frowned.

Fifth Miss Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Qian with an uneasy look on her face.

"Not late, Madam Hou is kind and tolerant. The rule of the Marquis's Mansion has always been that each room should have breakfast before leaving."

"That's good." Jiang Qiao looked relieved.

Jiang Qian looked at the four of them and said with a smile, "Let's eat."

Soon the maids came in and set out breakfast.

The table was filled with silver flower rolls, shrimp porridge, steamed dumplings, pickled silver fish, black fungus mixed with vinegar and other foods. The portion of each item was not large, but the taste was exquisite.

The sisters had breakfast in silence, and Jiang Qian took Jiang Si and the other three to visit the wife of Marquis Changxing.

At this time, the wife of Marquis Changxing had just finished breakfast. After listening to the maid's report, she invited a few people in.

Jiang Qian greeted her politely: "My sisters just arrived yesterday, and I didn't dare to disturb my mother-in-law's peace. This morning, my daughter-in-law came to pay her respects, so I brought them here."

A gentle voice came: "I've already told you to just be casual. No need to be so polite."

Jiang Pei couldn't help but look up secretly.

The wife of Marquis Changxing was a beautiful woman in her forties. At her age, many noble ladies would gain weight due to the life of luxury, but she still had a pointed oval face, a figure as slender as a girl, and a gentle demeanor that gave people a feeling of being frail.

Jiang Pei lowered her eyes, feeling very envious.

The wife of Marquis Changxing is obviously good-tempered. My second sister is so lucky to have a mother-in-law like her and a husband like the son of Marquis Changxing.

Thinking of Jiang Qian's disapproval of her, Jiang Pei's envy turned into jealousy, and she thought to herself: It's just a matter of reincarnation. If she was born by a legitimate mother, she would be a noble daughter of the Earl's family, and her father would be a fourth-rank official in the capital, so she might be able to marry better than Jiang Qian.

The wife of the Marquis of Changxing really looked like a very kind woman. She glanced at the Jiang sisters one by one and said with a smile, "They are all beautiful girls. Just looking at them makes people happy."

Next, the wife of the Marquis of Changxing asked the four sisters in a gentle voice what their names were, how old they were, and other questions. Finally, her eyes fell on Jiang Si: "I have long heard that the fourth Miss Jiang is a rare beauty. Now that I have seen her, I know that the rumors are not enough to describe the fourth Miss Jiang."

Jiang Si smiled generously: "Madam Hou, you are right. My appearance is a gift from my parents and has nothing to do with my own efforts. I think it is not worth mentioning."

The wife of Marquis Changxing was startled, then laughed: "I didn't expect Fourth Miss Jiang to be so insightful at such a young age. I really like her from the bottom of my heart."

Jiang Qian raised her eyebrows and quickly smiled and said, "If you don't mind that my sisters are disturbing your peace, let them stay with you for a few more days."

The wife of the Marquis of Changxing laughed and said, "That's great. I wonder if you children are used to living here?"

"My second sister loves us the most, and you, madam, are so kind. I feel more comfortable here than at home." Jiang Pei smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

Jiang Li has never liked to be in the spotlight, so she just remained silent and obedient in such occasions.

Jiang Qiao suddenly said, "It is our blessing that Madam likes us, but I am afraid I can't live in your house anymore."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.

The wife of Marquis Changxing, who had focused most of her attention on Jiang Si, looked at Jiang Qiao in surprise, while Jiang Qian gave her a warning look.

Jiang Qiao seemed to feel no pressure and lightly lifted her sleeves.
