Ji Chongli, the son of Duke Anguo, strode in front of Ji Chongyi, looking at the pale third brother who was already thin and soaked, feeling distressed and angry.
Ji Chongyi is an old man, more than ten years younger than Ji Chongli, and because he was born weak, the whole family held him in the palm of his hand. Since childhood, Ji Chongyi wanted the stars in the sky and his family wanted to take them off.
Ji Chongli's gaze moved to Qiao Niang who was standing next to Ji Chongyi.
Ji Chongyi stepped forward to block Qiao Niang from behind, and the intention of maintenance was particularly obvious.
Ji Chongli couldn't help stomping his feet: "Third brother, you are really confused, are you worthy of your parents for doing this?"
Ji Chongyi pursed his lips without saying a word, but held Qiao Niang's hand instead.
Under the eyes of the public, Ji Chongli was not good at reprimanding, and said with a cold face: "Forget it, go back to the mansion first!"
"I want to take Qiao Niang back to the house." Ji Chongyi said, his voice hoarse.
Ji Chongli glared at Ji Chongyi fiercely, instructed the manager to take care of the aftermath, and hurriedly took Ji Chongyi and Qiao Niang away.
The remaining steward clasped his fists and bowed to the crowd, took a one-hundred-two denomination silver note and handed it over to an old man who was recognized by everyone as a highly respected old man, and hurried away with the rest.
One hundred taels of silver was not a small amount for the people who came to fight the fire. At that time, everyone surrounded the old man and discussed how to distribute it.
Aman took the opportunity to sneak to the place where he had made an appointment with Jiang Si. Seeing that the black cloth wrapped around Jiang Si's head was soaked, he asked in a low voice, "Miss, are you alright?"
"It's alright, throw away the prepared burning paper, let's go back quickly." Although it was summer, it was night, and Jiang Xi had just come out of the water. When the wind blew, he felt cold, and his lips were already white. .
Ah Man is busy doing what he says.
"Girl, it's alright."
Jiang Shi nodded, and the master and servant left quietly while taking advantage of the chaos.
On the way, A'man couldn't hold back his anger: "Girl, Young Master Ji San is going too far. It's obviously someone who wants to marry you. How can you... How can you be like other girls?"
The lips pressed together, the rapid gasping sound...
Thinking of what he saw by the lake, Ah Man felt disgusted and angry.
Jiang seemed to just smile without making a sound.
This time, she will never marry again.
If Ji Chongyi could marry Qiao Niang and treat each other like this all the time, she would still look at him highly.
After all, stupid people have their shining points.
Without getting Jiang Si's response, Ah Man still couldn't hold his breath, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the girl asked the maid to prepare burning paper, so she should burn it for the adulterer, hee hee."
Jiang Si glanced at Aman: "Those burning papers have other uses."
"What's the use?" Ah Man asked curiously.
The night wind was blowing, and the two strands of hair scattered from the turban had been dried, and they were scratching the ginger-white cheeks mischievously.
Jiang Si kept walking, tucked the broken hair behind his ears, looked at the darker night in the distance and said, "Always find a decent reason for the fire of the umbrella pavilion by the lake to deal with the official errand."
Ah Man's eyes lit up: "It's still a girl who is thoughtful."
The little girl turned to think of Ji Chongyi again, and pouted: "Ji San Gongzi really has no eyes!"
"Okay, don't mention him, we're home."
The hole in the corner was still blocked by the grass, Aman pushed aside the grass and whispered, "Girl, go ahead."
Jiang Si leaned over and climbed in from the hole, and when he straightened up, his expression froze.
There was a person walking forward less than ten feet away from her, and it was obvious that he had just climbed in from the hole.
At this time, Ah Man also climbed in. When he saw someone in front of him, he couldn't help but startle. Although he hurriedly covered his mouth, he still made a noise.
The person in front froze and stopped abruptly: "Who—"
Jiang Si quickly picked up the adobes scattered by the entrance of the cave, and patted the familiar face.
That's right, this person is her ignorant brother Jiang Zhan.
Jiang Zhan screamed and fell down.
Aman saw Jiang Zhan's face clearly, and his voice trembled: "Gu, girl, why did you shoot the second son to death?"
"He's fine, let's go!"
Jiang seems to have a good grasp of his own strength, knowing that this will make Jiang Zhan unconscious for a while at most, and it will not be a serious problem, and Jiang Zhan's scream will undoubtedly attract people, so that he is not afraid that he will lie in a coma for too long. Chilled on the ground.
Sure enough, a light was lit not far away, and someone came out to check the movement.
Jiang Si took Ah Man back quickly along the original road, pushed open the side door that was hidden, and then locked the door from the inside, making sure that there were no flaws, and then quietly returned to Haitang Residence.
The begonia flowers in the courtyard are in full bloom, delicate red and pale white, and the moonlight falls on those petals like frost, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
There are only crabapple trees in the ginger-like courtyard.
Everyone regrets that Haitang has no fragrance, but she just loves that.
Her sense of smell is naturally beyond ordinary, and being in a strong floral scent all the time will make her uncomfortable.
"A Qiao, we're back." A Man gently knocked on the door.
Ah Qiao pulled the door open and welcomed Jiang Si and A Man in. Seeing that they were all safe, she couldn't help showing a happy smile: "Girl, the maid has already prepared hot water, please take a bath."
The hot air in the wooden barrel curled up, and Jiang seemed to be buried in the water, with only his head and shoulders exposed.
The water with a suitable temperature gently caressed all over the body, Jiang Si took a light breath, the anxiety and pain since the rebirth seemed to dissipate with the smooth tonight, and only happiness was left.
"Girl, it's time to get up, the water is going to be cold." Ah Qiao reminded.
Jiang Si opened her eyes, and A Qiao waited and put on her snow-white blouse and returned to the back room.
Ah Qiao wiped Jiangxi's hair with a soft towel.
The girl's hair fell down like a waterfall because it was soaked in water, reaching her waist.
The bronze mirror reflected the appearance of a young girl, with snow skin and black hair, red lips and white teeth, those eyes that were a little impetuous in the past became calm as water at some point, making her beauty a bit better than before.
After a hasty bath, Ah Man couldn't help but admire: "Girl, you are so beautiful."
Jiang Shi couldn't help but laugh.
The story of Ji Chongyi and Qiao Niang's love affair will definitely spread throughout the capital tomorrow. By then, no matter how innocent she is, some people will inevitably ridicule her.
For a girl who came from an ordinary background but climbed into the perfect marriage in the eyes of the world, beauty itself is a sin.
"Girl, how do you know that Young Master Ji San and that woman are going on a date at Mochou Lake tonight?" Ah Man asked curiously for a long time.
Ah Qiao held the comb's hand for a while, obviously curious.
The girl in the bronze mirror blinked: "Not long ago, I attended the flower viewing banquet in the Yongchang Uncle Mansion, and Ji Sangong asked someone to tell me."
Jiang seemed to be unable to explain, and could only find an excuse at will.
"Why did he tell you that he was dating other girls?" Ah Man became more and more puzzled.
Jiang Xi said unhurriedly: "Probably want me to see it with my own eyes, so give up."
Ah Man slapped the dresser suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "What a shame!"
If I had known her earlier, I would have struck the gong later and drowned that bastard.
Jiang Si smiled and nodded: "Yes, I also feel shameless."
