Seeing that Jiang Si looked strange, Jiang Qiao asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Si regained his composure: "It's okay."

Erniu is so smart. Since he was able to sneak into the Changxing Marquis Mansion, he should have no problem leaving.

"Third sister, what's the matter with the rash on your arm?"

She didn't believe it was such a coincidence.

Jiang Qiao raised her hands and let her sleeves slide down to her elbows. She smiled and said, "Are you talking about this? We had shrimp porridge this morning, and I ate a few more mouthfuls. As soon as I ate the shrimp, this happened on my arm."

Jiang Si suddenly remembered that the bowl of shrimp porridge placed in front of Jiang Qiao in the morning was eaten up cleanly, and she had another bowl.

Jiang Si couldn't help but hold Jiang Qiao's hand: "Third sister, thank you so much."

She had heard that some people would develop rashes and itching after eating certain foods, and in severe cases, they could even pass into a coma.

She was determined to leave Changxing Marquis' Mansion. Although she could leave without any shame, she never expected Jiang Qiao to go to such lengths.

"What are you thanking me for?" Jiang Qiao put down her sleeves. "It's not serious. I'll leave tomorrow. When I think about what happened last night, I feel uncomfortable staying there any longer. It's better to leave early."

After she finished speaking, she casually took the gift box sent by the wife of the Marquis of Changxing and opened it. Seeing the hairpins, rings, pearls and other things that girls like, she couldn't help but sigh: "The wife of the Marquis of Changxing is a good person, but unfortunately-"

Jiang Si sneered in his heart after hearing this.

Is the wife of Marquis Changxing a good person?

In her previous life, she escaped from the Changxing Marquisate and drifted to southern Xinjiang. After becoming the Seventh Prince's Consort, she returned to the capital and inquired about things behind Yu Qi's back, only to find out that the Changxing Marquis's son had died long ago.

The death was horrible. His lower body was chopped into pieces and his naked body was thrown into the busy street.

The two cases of the sudden deaths of the Changxing Marquis's son and Liu Xiangu became famous unsolved cases. The murderers have never been found, and the motives for the murders are even more unclear.

Jiang Si could have waited patiently for two years, and by then an unknown hero would have captured that beast, the Prince of Changxing.

But she was unwilling and couldn't bear it.

I am unwilling to let the abominable things Cao Xingyu did be buried with his death. People have to sigh with regret when they mention them. I am even more heartless to see so many innocent girls suffer at his hands in the past two years.

As for the wife of Marquis Changxing——

Thinking of her, Jiang couldn't tell whether he was angry or disgusted. Perhaps he could only sigh that people from the same family stick together.

Jiang Qian had been married to the Changxing Marquis's Mansion for several years without having a child. However, after the Changxing Marquis's eldest son died suddenly, the Marquis's Mansion announced that she was pregnant. The following year, Jiang Qian gave birth to a posthumous child prematurely.

It is not uncommon for a newly widowed woman to give birth prematurely due to excessive grief over her deceased husband, and people naturally would not think too much of it. However, as she secretly investigated her second uncle's family, she discovered a shocking secret: the child Jiang Qian gave birth to was not the son of the Marquis of Changxing, but the Marquis of Changxing's!

The truth is even worse than imagined. Jiang Qian gave birth to Marquis Changxing's child not because the two had any illicit affair, but because Marquis Changxing and his wife could not bear to see their son's inheritance broken, and they did not want their illegitimate son to inherit the huge family business, so they gave birth to a "legitimate grandson" through their daughter-in-law's belly.

And the weak and gentle Lady Changxing Marquis was not kept in the dark about all this.

She is a participant.

Perhaps for that woman, she would rather do this than watch Marquis Changxing and his concubine give birth to a bastard son who would inherit everything from her son.

When Jiang Si thought of these things, he felt disgusted.

She could say bluntly that the entire Changxing Marquis's Mansion was so dirty that even the pair of stone lions in front of the gate could not be cleaned up.

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. You can bribe Third Sister with a box of trinkets?" Jiang Si teased.

Jiang Qiao was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded: "Fourth sister, do you think there is something wrong with the wife of Marquis Changxing?"

Jiang Si said calmly: "I think a person's temperament is closely related to his background. To have a son like that, the mother must be a bodhisattva."

Jiang Qiao thought about it and nodded: "You have a point, but no matter how hateful they are, it has nothing to do with us. We should stay away from them in the future."

Jiang Si certainly didn't want Jiang Qiao to get too involved, so he smiled and agreed.

"Fourth sister, how are you going to deal with that beast?"

Jiang Si said vaguely, "I haven't really thought about it yet. I was scared at the time and was in a hurry to leave the mansion, so I said that. Let me go back and think about it carefully."

Jiang Qiao glanced at Jiang Si and said, "Don't treat me like a child."

Speaking of fear, she was much more frightened than the fourth sister, while the fourth sister was very calm from beginning to end, as if she had no idea what happened last night.

Seeing that he couldn't fool her, Jiang Si had no choice but to say, "I won't mention that method for now. If it works, I'll tell Third Sister in detail. If it doesn't work—"

Seeing Jiang Qiao glancing at her, Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll find my third sister to work out a solution together."

"That's more like it." Jiang Qiao was interested and stopped asking questions.

Having said this, the two of them tacitly let it go and started chatting casually.

The carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" Jiang Qiao asked loudly.

The driver's reply came from behind the curtain: "We are on our way to pick up the bride. There are too many people and the road ahead is blocked."

"Wedding reception?" Jiang Qiao was a lively person, and she immediately raised the car window curtains upon hearing that.

A gust of wind blew in from the window, instantly taking away the boredom in the carriage.

There was a lot of activity outside the car, and it was very lively.

Soon the sound of firecrackers came from a distance, and the happy screams of children rang out in the crowd.

Judging from the situation, it should be a wedding of a young man from a wealthy family.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked and it was difficult to turn the carriage around, the driver simply drove the carriage to the side of the road and waited for the team and the crowd watching the excitement to pass.

Jiang Qiao leaned against the car window with her chin in her hands and asked curiously, "Whose wedding is this?"

Jiang glanced out the window nonchalantly.

The wedding procession came slowly from far away, and the festive suona music made the atmosphere even more lively.

At the front of the procession, on a pony with a red ribbon tied around it sat the groom. As the procession got closer, the two sisters heard exclamations from all around them.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the third son of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion to be so handsome!"

"What's so strange about this? If he wasn't handsome, how could he let an unmarried young lady commit suicide for love..."

"You are wrong. A young lady from an ordinary family can secretly marry a young man from a Duke's Mansion. Even if the young man has pockmarks on his face, they are likely to die together for love."

People's tones were mixed with excitement and mockery, and they were discussing the uproarious incident some time ago regarding the love-suicide between the third son of the Duke of Anguo and a commoner girl.

This is big gossip, and it is said that it even alarmed His Majesty.

Sitting in the carriage, the two sisters could already feel the raging gossip among the people of the capital city about to burn into the carriage.

Jiang Qiao's face changed and she couldn't help but look at Jiang Si. Seeing that she had no expression on her face and even looked away, she felt relieved.

Reassured, Miss Jiang San simply stuck her head out and stretched her neck to look.

"Third sister, what's so good about it?" Jiang Si said helplessly.

"Don't bother me. I want to see what that blind man looks like."
