Rolling up one's sleeves in public is somewhat indecent, even if all those present are women.
Jiang Qiao didn't care and showed her exposed arms to everyone.
The girl's wrist was as white as snow, but there were dozens of red spots on it.
The smile of the wife of Marquis Changxing froze.
"I'll let you know, Madam. My skin is naturally sensitive, and I'm prone to rashes when I suddenly change my environment. I was worried about this when I went to bed last night, but I didn't expect it to be like this this morning." Jiang Qiao frowned in distress, "So even though the Marquis' Mansion is good, I can't live here anymore, otherwise I'll soon be itchy all over and won't be able to sleep."
The wife of the Marquis of Changxing came back to her senses and said softly, "If this is the case, it is really hard to force it."
She glanced at Jiang Qian.
Jiang Qian understood and immediately said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, Third Sister? I will arrange a carriage to take you back in a while."
"Thank you, second sister." Jiang Qiao smiled and held Jiang Si's arm. "I will go back with my fourth sister later."
Jiang Qian's expression froze, then she said slowly, "You just came yesterday, and my third sister had to go back because she was not adapting well, but my fourth sister has only stayed for one day, so I want her to stay for a few more days so she can accompany me more."
"Aren't there still the fifth and sixth sisters accompanying the second sister?" Jiang Qiao smiled and held the ginger-like arm tighter, as if she was not ready to let go. "We have only been here for one day and I am going back. Those who know know that I have a rash on my skin, but those who don't think that I have made the second sister unhappy. So let the fourth sister go back with me, so that no one will gossip about me."
Jiang Qiao spoke quickly, but what she said made some sense.
Jiang Qian didn't know how to refute, so she glanced at Jiang Pei.
Jiang Pei understood Jiang Qian's meaning almost instantly.
The second sister wanted her to accompany the third sister back.
Why her? Just because she was a concubine? Jiang Si clearly had a bad face towards the second sister, but the second sister still coaxed her. Why was that?
Jiang Pei thought about this and didn't speak out immediately.
Jiang Qian suppressed her dissatisfaction and said, "In this case, why not let Sixth Sister accompany you back?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and waved her hands: "One thing does not trouble two masters. I have already talked to the fourth sister, and the fourth sister has agreed. And the sixth sister likes the Marquis' Mansion very much. How can I let the sixth sister accompany me back?"
"Fourth sister rarely comes here, but sixth sister can come anytime in the future—" Jiang Qian wanted to cover Jiang Qiao's mouth with a rag.
Third Uncle was born out of wedlock. Although Jiang Qiao was sharp-tongued and eloquent, she never cared about it. She never thought that he would ruin her business now!
Jiang Qian knew without thinking how furious Cao Xingyu would be if Jiang Si left like this.
Jiang Qiao interrupted Jiang Qian without any hesitation: "I don't like what you said, Second Sister. Could it be that Second Sister thinks that we are cousins and Sixth Sister and you are real sisters, so she is so distant with me and Fourth Sister?"
People are often rude to their own people, but polite to those who are distantly related to them. When Jiang Qiao said this, Jiang Qian was choked.
Jiang Qiao struck while the iron was hot and bowed to the wife of Marquis Changxing: "Madam, I and my fourth sister will say goodbye to you now. We will come to see you again when we have the chance in the future."
"Well, then, drive slowly on your way. Jiang, go and make the arrangements as soon as possible." The wife of Marquis Changxing said in a gentle voice and gave a few instructions to the maid.
Soon the maid who had left came back, holding two gift boxes.
The wife of the Marquis of Changxing smiled and said, "It's not a valuable thing. You sisters can each take a box and go back to play with it."
Jiang Si and Jiang Qiao bowed together: "Thank you, Madam, for your generous gift."
Jiang Qian forced a smile and led a few people out. The wife of Marquis Changxing stared at the still swaying pearl curtain and sighed.
As soon as they left the residence of the Marquis of Changxing, Jiang Qian's face darkened: "Third sister, you shouldn't say too much in front of the Marquis's wife."
Jiang Qiao blinked and said innocently, "I didn't say much. I just told Madam Hou that I was going back. Ah, second sister, do you blame me for asking fourth sister to go back with me?"
Jiang Qian pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Qiao chuckled: "Second sister, you are so weird. Isn't it the same if my fourth sister accompanies me back or my sixth sister accompanies me? They are both my younger sisters. Could it be that you favor my fourth sister more because she is prettier?"
Jiang Qian was choked to death, and Jiang Pei, who was lying down with the gunshot wound, was also extremely angry.
She didn't do anything, why do you say she is ugly!
Jiang Qian's heart sank when she met Jiang Qiao's smiling eyes.
Did Jiang Qiao discover something last night?
It is never a pleasant thing for her man to covet her sister. In order to avoid seeing it, she ignored the movements in the east courtyard last night and even asked the maids and servants to go to bed early.
But even if she ignored it, based on her understanding of Cao Xingyu, she could guess that the pervert would definitely not miss the good opportunity to visit her at night.
Jiang Qian stared at Jiang Qiao, with countless thoughts surging in her mind.
"Second sister?"
Jiang Qian came back to her senses and smiled: "Third sister, you are joking. You are all my sisters. I treat you all the same."
She couldn't show too obviously her intention to keep Jiang Si staying for a while, because her sisters were grown up and had become more thoughtful.
"That's good. It seems I was overthinking. I'll apologize to my second sister. By the way, when will the carriage be ready?"
Jiang Qian sent Jiang Si and Jiang Qiao to the carriage with a heavy heart. She was very angry when she saw Jiang Pei with a cheerful look and Jiang Li with a humble look.
Those who should leave didn’t leave, and those who should stay didn’t stay. It’s so frustrating!
"Where are we going?" Cao Xingyu, the son of Changxing Marquis, had just returned from outside and asked in a gentle voice when he saw the carriage parked at the door.
Before Jiang Qian could answer, the car window curtain was suddenly lifted, revealing Jiang Qiao's pretty face with a smile on her face: "My sister is not feeling well, so we have to go back to the mansion."
Seeing that it was Jiang Qiao, Cao Xingyu raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly: "Then Third Sister, please go to the doctor as soon as possible after returning home, and tell your second sister about the situation, so that your second sister and I can rest assured."
"Don't worry, second brother-in-law. I'll be fine as soon as I get back to the Earl's Mansion." Jiang Qiao smiled and secretly cursed him for having a beastly heart in human form.
Cao Xingyu's smile faltered slightly.
Why does this sound so awkward?
"Brother-in-law, please accompany my second sister back soon. See you later." Jiang Qiao let down the curtain.
The driver whipped the horse and the carriage started moving slowly.
Cao Xingyu retracted his gaze, and in front of others, he showed a gentle and gentle appearance. He stepped forward, held Jiang Qian's hand and said, "What's wrong, Third Sister?"
"It's no big deal." Jiang Qian said vaguely.
"Uh." Cao Xingyu glanced at Jiang Li and Jiang Pei beside Jiang Qian, his eyes darkening, "Why don't you see Fourth Sister?"
Facing such a gaze, Jiang Qianqiang smiled and said, "Fourth sister will go back with third sister."
Cao Xingyu suddenly turned his head and looked at the carriage going away.
The carriage with the Changxing Marquis Mansion logo just turned the corner and disappeared.
Cao Xingyu turned around and looked at Jiang Qian steadily. After a while, he smiled gently and said, "Let's go back to the house."
Jiang Qian shuddered and nodded slowly.
In the carriage, Jiang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, we've left that dirty place."
Jiang Si suddenly held his forehead with his hand.
Oops, she left Erniu behind.
