Shi Jin nodded repeatedly. In order to prove that what he said was true, he immediately raised his chopsticks and stretched it towards a piece of ham.

However, maybe she was too hasty to carry it, or maybe her hands were sore, but the ham turned around halfway and headed towards the second master's new clothes.

Shi Jin was frightened for a moment and reached out her hand to catch it. However, she rushed too quickly and fell onto the second master together with the piece of ham that had caused trouble.

Looking at the oil stains on Erye's thighs, Shi Jin wanted to die.

She picked up the ham, neither throwing it away nor keeping it, and she didn't dare to look at the second master's expression.

Qi Mojing only saw a crow-feather-like head hanging in front of her legs. The owner of the head was holding her long legs with one hand and pinching the messy piece of ham with the other. Her whole body was stiff.

He shifted his legs uncomfortably, and his voice was hoarse, "How long do you want to lie down?"

Shi Jin moved slightly, trying to get up, but by some mistake, he stuffed the piece of ham into his mouth.

"My slave, I will help you with food and clothes..." Shi Jin stood up in a panic, but her cheeks were bulging with the food in her mouth, and she became slightly slurred in her panic.

However, the second master only gave her a cold look and went straight back to the house to change clothes.

Shi Jin only lowered her head, her hands hanging down, and her tangled fingertips slightly showed her panic.

After a while, the second master came out, glanced at her briefly, and walked out the door without even using the food.

When Si Qi entered the room to put away the dishes and chopsticks, he saw Shi Jin kneeling on the floor with the food untouched at all. He was a little surprised at the moment, "What's going on?"

Shi Jin's eyelashes trembled, "I seem to have made the Second Master angry again..."

Si Qi helped her stand up and said with a slight smile, "Second Master just went out and told me that you don't have to kneel down before you recover and just get up to eat."

After saying that, he actually pressed her shoulders and asked her to sit down at the table, and served her a bowl of steamed soup.

Shi Jinyou buried his head in eating, but never stretched out his chopsticks towards the ham.

.

The sun is fine.

At the entrance of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, a second-hand carriage with a green surface and oily silk was parked there.

There were many gifts in boxes on the shelves behind the carriage. A boy holding a footstool untied the ribbons that tied the gifts, took them all out, and handed them to a young man in a pink coat with a hanging bun.

The maid hugged him.

When the footstool was placed next to the carriage, another boy had already handed a greeting card to the door, saying that the visitors were Su Shi, the head wife of the Jiang family, who was the commander in front of the palace, and his daughter Jiang Jin.

Soon a nun received the message and came out. She helped Mrs. Su and Miss Jiang get out of the carriage, and then they passed through the high threshold of the main entrance and walked inside one level at a time.

Jiang Jin used to come here to play with the third lady, and now he was already familiar with the route and led his mother to Yan'an Courtyard.

Since the death of the old man Jiang Baocheng, the Jiang family has been in decline in recent years. The head of the family, Jiang Yiduan, only received the idle post of Dr. Taichang, the eighth grade, and his reputation among the dignitaries in Haojing has become increasingly obscure.

Therefore, the Su family has been out and about less and less in these years. Even if she travels occasionally, she is doing her best to support Jiang's family in the name of the old man.

Fortunately, the Yao family was Kuanda, and there were many rituals during the holidays.

Now when she came to visit, Mrs. Su only looked at the flowers in the Marquis Mansion, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit envious in her heart.

When they arrived at Yan'an Courtyard, a green-shirted maid with a bun in a bun had already opened the curtain and let her mother and daughter into the main hall together.

Mrs. Su took a quick look and saw four jujube wood rose chairs placed on each side of the main hall. Double-layered tables of the same color were spaced as high as the armrests. They were covered with fringed striped brocade tablecloths. They looked very neat and tidy.

In the middle of the main hall, there are two mahogany chairs with wide rims, covered with brocade cushions, and next to a square table with four corners decorated with patterns of fortune, wealth and longevity.

As soon as Brother Ying led Mrs. Su and Miss Jiang to sit down, the talented little maid brought fruits and tea, which were placed on the upright small table for guests to taste.

Mrs. Su waited for a while, and then she heard the inner room laughing without saying anything. Then, the eldest lady Yao Lan's heartfelt voice came through Zhuhui'er, "Ah! You came to see me! I thought you were like this

Old sisters have forgotten me!"

Mrs. Su hurriedly led Jiang Jin to her feet and met with Mr. Yao who opened the bead curtain. Then the guests and hosts sat down.

Everyone would not go to the Three Treasures Hall when there was nothing to do, and Mrs. Su did not go out all the year round. It was obvious that she had something to entrust to each other.

She also heard Tianyi mention it about the previous mountain climbing, but after all, it was her uncle who had been wronged, and it was hard for her as a sister-in-law to interfere.

If it weren't for the fact that the two houses still have a strong bond of love, it would be fine even if they were sent away.

Immediately, he asked Brother Ying to serve the best tea and chatted for a long time, trying not to get involved in that matter.

Madam Su sat upset, and every time she wanted to speak, Madam Yao pushed her back as if she were doing Tai Chi. At that moment, she didn’t care about her face, so she said goodbye to her, "Mrs. Yao, the purpose of my coming this time is between you and me.

We know everything, so let’s make it clear.”

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Mrs. Yao sighed, "My brother-in-law actually has his own plans. As a sister-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to help."

Mrs. Su was not very happy when she saw Mr. Yao shirk the blame. She frowned and said, "I know that the second master of Qi Mansion has a temper, but you also know that on the day of the mountain climbing, it was really Zhao Liu who had no good intentions and caused my own daughter to suffer."

Among them, as mothers, how can we allow dirty water to be poured on our daughters?"

After saying that, she shed tears in her eyes, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Zhao Liu has died long ago without a burial place. Even several of his relatives have been driven out of the house. The second master is still here."

What's wrong?"

Mrs. Yao lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips silently, with a hint of coolness, "I am no more than a maid. If she were from Shu'er's courtyard, she would just die. She is not worthy of anything. But after all, she is my uncle's person.

The young man in the Jiang Mansion is a little too bold. Let me tell you the truth, I chose Shi Jin as Shu'er's dowry, but my uncle specifically asked for it. Do you understand the meaning of this?"

Su Shi was shocked, but she didn't take it seriously. Although Qi Mojing was very prestigious in Bailu Academy, what could a white person do to Jiang Mansion?

When she came today, she originally thought it was just a formality, but she didn't expect Mrs. Yao to be in a dilemma, and she became a little impatient at the moment.

Compared to Su Shi, Jiang Jin is the one who has a hundred claws scratching his heart.

Mother said she would come to the Hou Mansion today, but she didn't think so at first. But look, Jin really has the second master's favor at this time?

At that moment, he smiled slightly, stood up and said, "My husband is right and my wife is right. It's useless to argue like this. Zhao Liu is restless, and the Jiang Mansion has punished him."

It's all benevolence and justice. Since Madam feels something is wrong, we might as well ask that maid to come over. She can't say a word to her. How do you know that Brother Qi is so worried about such a trivial matter?"
