The servant girl timidly replied, “Replying to Third Young Master, I am new here.”
“What’s your name, and who arranged for you to be by Madam’s side?” Jiang Yi’s face darkened.
After so many years, there were only a few familiar people around his mother, and adding new ones was unlikely. A sudden new servant girl made him suspicious.
Especially since Jiang Ning and the Crown Prince were currently fighting intensely.
He had to be cautious.
The servant girl looked somewhat scared, “This servant is called Xiaohuan, I was…”
“Xiaohuan?” Jiang Yi felt that the name sounded familiar, where had he heard it just now?
Jiang Ning drew the curtain of the carriage and poked out her head, smiling, “It was I who arranged that, does Third Brother have any objections?”
Jiang Yi was shocked and suddenly remembered, “Ah, she’s the one…”
“Hush.” Jiang Ning held up a finger, “Now her name is not Xiaohuan, but Dingxiang. Dingxiang, go attend to Madam.”
“Yes, Seventh Miss.”
Dingxiang turned around to help Lin Zizi onto the carriage.
Jiang Yi drove his horse next to Jiang Ning’s carriage and whispered, “You cunning girl, how did you get Xiaohuan here?”
“Otherwise, should we have killed her?”
“What? Of course not.” Jiang Yi was shocked.
Every time he heard words like death and killing coming out of his overly beautiful sister, he would be terrified.
A young lady raised in seclusion should only be able to recite poetry and paint, feeling sad about spring and autumn, she shouldn’t be saying things like that.
But thinking about Seventh Sister being lost since childhood, and her experience being raised in a poor family, he felt pity and heartache for her.
Compared to the pampered Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister who had always been spoiled, Seventh Sister was much more interesting and lively.
Although he also cared for Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister, he had no words to say with them, but being with Seventh Sister, he always found it interesting.
Even just his playful banter felt full of wit and interest.
Jiang Ning laughed, “Since we couldn’t kill her, it’s better to have her in our residence. If she were left outside, wouldn’t that be leaving a loose end to be caught by others?”
“Did you mention her mother just now?”
“Yes, Dingxiang has a widow mother who lives alone with no other family members. Now that the girl is in our mansion, her mother naturally came in as well, and she’s helping in the kitchen.”
“That’s very thoughtful, Seventh Sister.”
“Only by hiding a fox’s tail properly can we continue to harm people. Brother, remember when doing bad things, always wrap up the tail well.” Jiang Ning giggled and lowered the curtain.
Jiang Yi was stunned for a long while, then laughed and chided, “People say Father is the old fox, but you are our family’s little fox, a smooth-talking little fox!”
“Third Brother, I have an appointment with Zhang Mujin this afternoon to have tea and watch a play!”
Jiang Yi hurriedly leaned over, “Where are you having tea, sister? Do you want me to reserve the entire teahouse? After all, teahouses are crowded with people, and my sister is a revered person. It is better for you to enjoy your tea in peace and quiet.”
“Reserve the entire teahouse? That would cost a lot of money. I’ve already spent quite a bit this time.”
Just those leaflets spread all over the city cost her a lot of money.
Jiang Yi quickly smiled and said, “From now on, whenever sister goes out for tea and to watch a play, I will cover all the expenses.”
“Don’t worry, Brother, I will definitely say good things about you in front of my future sister-in-law.”
Back in the city, the leaflets scattered all over the sky had disappeared.
Most of them had been picked up by the common people, and the remaining few had been dealt with by the Jingzhao Magistrate’s officers.
After all, it was a matter concerning the Crown Prince’s reputation and the royal family’s dignity. It was not allowed for these things to be left on the
streets..
