Jiang Li was waiting anxiously in the yard. It had been so long since she had been out, and the fourth brother hadn't dealt with it yet.
Just when he wanted to go in and take a look, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
Pei Zhi glanced at her and closed the door, blocking Jiang Li from looking inside: "Why, are you afraid that I will do something to him?"
Jiang Li waved her hands hurriedly when she heard this, "What does Third Brother mean by this? Of course not."
In this aspect, I still trust Third Brother!
Pei Zhi chuckled and said, "The wound has been treated. If you are really worried, go and have a look yourself."
Jiang Li felt that the third brother was not in a good mood, and she felt a little guilty in her heart, so she said, "The third brother said that it has been dealt with, so I am naturally relieved."
Pei Zhi naturally took her hand and strode towards his yard with confidence: "Now that you are relieved, you should finish the homework that was left for me, right?"
——
Mu Bai looked through the window at the two retreating figures, and lowered his head thoughtfully.
The relationship between the third young master and the young lady is really good.
On the other side, Jiang Xi looked very unhappy and walked to Mu Xueyuan in despair.
Jiang Xue was staying in the courtyard at the moment, with a slightly excited look on her face. She didn't know what was going on in Wanliyuan, and Yuzhu was really useless, so she didn't know how to send some information over.
Hearing the noise from the yard, Jiang Xue stood up quickly. Was there news from Wanliyuan?
She walked quickly outside the yard, only to see Jiang Xi's expression was very bad, and he said with a guilty conscience: "Why is fourth brother back so soon?"
His expression was so bad, maybe he was angry after finding out what happened.
If Jiang Li is angry, that would be great.
Jiang Xue secretly raised her eyes, wanting to take another look at Jiang Xi's expression, but saw Jiang Xi looking straight at her.
She felt a little guilty for no reason: "Why is fourth brother looking at me like this? Is there something on my face?"
Jiang Xi's expression didn't change at all. He looked straight at her, as if he wanted to see her whole body clearly: "Axue, how did you know what happened in Jiang Li's yard?"
Jiang Xue heard Jiang Xi's tone stagnant: "Didn't I tell fourth brother? It was the people in my sister's yard who were worried that my sister had done something wrong, so they came to me."
Her palms tightened. What did Fourth Brother mean? Could it be that he was already suspicious of her.
She looked a little panicked. It was impossible that she only said a few words in it. If the fourth brother wanted to explain this matter clearly to himself, he could not blame himself.
At best, I just misbelieved other people's rumors.
Thinking of this, she calmed down a bit, and then said: "Fourth brother, did someone tell you something?"
Jiang Xi tried his best to suppress the feeling that something was wrong in his heart.
This is the sister that I have watched since childhood. She is the most innocent and lovely. All of this must be a coincidence and cannot be intentional.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xi tried hard to suppress the random thoughts in his mind and said: "There is nothing in Ah Li's yard. Don't believe these rumors in the future."
Jiang Xue's face turned pale, "Sister, there's nothing wrong there, I'm relieved."
Then he grabbed Jiang Xi's sleeve and said, "I am also concerned and confused. Anyway, it's good that my sister is fine. Fourth brother, don't be angry with me for this. I will investigate clearly next time and report to fourth brother."
When he said this, he seemed to feel aggrieved, and tears were already shining in his eyes.
Jiang Xi couldn't bear to see him like this. Just thinking of the way Jiang Li looked at him just now, Jiang Li and Pei Zhi stood together, making it seem like he was the outsider.
Feeling more and more stuffy.
"Well, next time these things happen, you should be more careful."
After saying this, Jiang Xue turned and left without paying any more attention.
If Jiang Xue looked aggrieved like this in the past, Jiang Xi could only wish to pluck the stars from the sky for her.
Jiang Xue looked at the back of the person who was leaving, and pinched her fingertips hard into her own flesh.
Damn it, could it be that Yuzhu had been bribed and came to tell him the news on purpose, causing a rift between himself and his fourth brother.
Jiang Li, a bitch, actually underestimated her.
In the afternoon, Jiang Li came back from Hanshuiyuan and received a post from Princess Yongan.
Princess Yong'an was humiliated by her last time, and now she invites her to this banquet, which may not be so easy to attend.
Qiantan had obviously thought of this aspect and said, "Miss, we'd better find a way to postpone this banquet."
Jiang Li picked up the post and looked at it carefully: "No, since Princess Yong'an specifically said it, she naturally wants to support it."
If he doesn't go, even if he escapes this time, there will definitely be another time. He also wants to see what method Yongan wants to use to deal with him.
Also, my cousin would naturally go to such a banquet.
I haven't seen her for a while, and I miss her a little.
Hanshuiyuan.
Pei Zhi looked at the secret report in his hand, his expression dark and unclear under the ripples of light.
Shen Zhao knelt aside: "Master, this is the best opportunity."
They got the news that His Majesty paid a private visit incognito and arrived in Qingzhou soon.
Pei Zhi nodded and placed the secret report in the candlelight to burn. The fire flickered and the look on his face became increasingly unpredictable.
It is indeed the best opportunity. As for whether you can seize this opportunity, it depends on your ability.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Princess Yong'an held a banquet. Jiang Li got up early to prepare, and had all the necessary things ready, and then she was ready to go out.
Qiantan was still a little worried, "Miss, the princess must have bad intentions. Do we really want to go?"
Jiang Li looked in the mirror again and said quietly: "We have accepted this post, and now we have to go."
——
Hua Yue hasn't seen her little cousin for a while. Hearing that she was coming, she came over early today.
The last time the thing she gave to her cousin was damaged, she put a lot of effort into it. She specially hired the best craftsmen in Qingzhou City, and it was only now finished, so she brought this thing over with her.
The two met before they arrived at Princess Yong'an's mansion.
Hua Yue saw her from a distance and waved to her: "Xiao Lihua, I'm here!"
The carriage stopped and Jiang Li ran over, with a bit of coquettishness in her tone: "Long time no see. My cousin is really busy these days."
Several times before, she wanted to ask her cousin out to play, but her cousin rejected her all the time. If she didn't know that her cousin liked her very much, she would have doubted whether her cousin disliked her, so she didn't want to go out with her.
When Hua Yue heard her say this, she seemed to remember something, and a suspicious blush suddenly appeared on her face.
Seeing the change in her cousin's expression, Jiang Li wondered, could her cousin have a husband she likes?
She originally wanted to inquire a few more words, but Hua Yue put her off: "Stop teasing me, my cousin has brought you something good."
Hua Yue said and handed over the things he had prepared early.
The gift box was simple and exquisite. Jiang Li opened it and saw a hairpin lying inside, with delicate pear blossoms engraved on it. It was beautiful and tight.
"Why did my cousin suddenly think of giving me a hairpin?"
When Hua Yue heard this, she raised her chin slightly: "Xiao Lihua, this is not an ordinary hairpin."
She held the hairpin in her hand, touched the dark pear pattern on it, and then pressed it down gently. The hairpin instantly stretched and turned into a sharp blade.
When Jiang Li saw this thing, joy flashed in her eyes.
Hua Yue naturally noticed the surprise in her eyes and became even more proud: "How's it going? Do you like what I gave you?"
After the two of them met last time, she knew that her little Lihua was different from other noble girls in Qingzhou. Although Little Lihua was in the mansion now, she was very safe, but there were many things that she didn't fear ten thousand, but just in case.
She thought about making this sharp blade just in case of emergency.
Little Pear Blossom will definitely like it.
Sure enough, Jiang Li smiled with her eyes bent, and put the hairpin directly on her head.
"Thank you cousin, I like this gift very much."
If something unexpected happened later, I could still use this hairpin to protect myself. Although it probably wouldn't have much effect, it would still make me feel more at ease.
If something like last time happened again, she wouldn't have to wait for her third brother to save her, but she could try to break free on her own.
The two said a few more words before walking towards the banquet together.
The two of them had just walked to the banquet when Princess Yong'an cast her eyes towards them.
