Even though Lan Xin was originally sitting beside me, but she only slightly leaned over to whisper in my ear, Lady Xu still keenly noticed our little movements.

Xu Jingting's face was flushed red as she glared at Lan Xin and me.

I feel a little helpless in my heart …

Lan Xin's casual action made me the target of public criticism.

I finally understood why Lan Xin had made friends with the Xu sisters as soon as she entered the room.

So she planned to plot against me this early in the morning!

The person who was joking with you a moment ago would start talking about you in front of others in the blink of an eye. Furthermore, ever since Lan Xin and I had entered the room, we hadn't interacted at all. From a single glance, I could tell that she was very distant, yet she was smiling and talking to me right now, in front of the two of them.

It's just that you have a good plan, and I've had a wall-ladder!

"Is Cousin going out to fly a kite?" I purposely raised my voice to look at Lan Xin with a smile.

Lan Xin, who was wearing a pink woolen dress, smiled. Her eyes were bright and her red lips were slightly pursed. She looked like a newly bloomed red rose.

He laughed without a word!

She actually just gave me a faint smile like she was looking at a naughty kid. Her eyes were full of tender love.

His expression was like that of a responsible older sister looking at her young and ignorant younger sister.

I smiled bitterly.

Lanxin is far smarter than I thought.

Only by rebutting her can I get away with it. Her calm expression, and even her faint smile, made every move of mine seem like nonsense.

The ladies in the room were all young ladies, so how could they not understand what was going on? They all smiled at the two sisters and me, revealing smiles of comprehension.

The only people who didn't laugh were their grandmother, who sat at the head, and Mrs. Xu, who sat under their grandmother.

Grandmother stared intently at Lan Xin, her eyes full of dissatisfaction and scrutiny. Eldest Wife Xu, on the other hand, stared at her daughter with a sallow face and a bitter smile.

It seemed like this was not the first time big miss Xu had made such a mistake. Otherwise, Lady Xu would not have such a calm expression.

My grandmother's reaction surprised me a little.

I thought Grandmother would feel some pity for her because of her constant company and service these days, but Grandmother unexpectedly stood on my side.

It turned out that what his grandmother had said on the carriage was not a casual thing.

"Great!" It's good to fly a kite! "

Second Miss Jiang was completely oblivious to the previous fight. She clapped her hands with a smile and shouted that she was going to fly a kite.

Big Miss Jiang gave me a wry smile.

Looking at Second Miss Jiang's young and lively face which was smiling like a full moon, I also let out a light sigh.

It was unknown if Second Miss Jiang's naïve personality was a blessing or a misfortune for her.

"Let them have fun on their own!" When Madame Jiang saw this scene, she smiled and came out to smooth things over. "I'll end the Fragrant Storey first. Let's go listen to this scene as well!"

The ladies rarely went out to the feast with the ladies.

Naturally, none of the madams had any objections, and they smiled as they praised Madame Jiang's thoughtful thinking.

"Mother, I want to fly a kite!" Second Miss Jiang had long skipped over to Madame Jiang's side and was tugging on her sleeve in a spoiled manner.

Lady Jiang looked at her eldest daughter, who was standing beside her with a frown on her face. She then looked at her second daughter, who was still as childish as a child, before sighing and agreeing with her.

"You can't just focus on playing, you have to entertain the ladies!"

"I'll have Mother Liu and Mother Chang follow you!"

"It's pitch black inside the warehouse, and it's filled with dust. You can't go in there, so you'll have to bring the ladies and wait outside!"

"You are only allowed to play in the garden. You are not allowed to go to the edge of the wall!"

Madame Jiang repeated the instructions one after another with great care. Her tone became more and more severe, causing Second Miss Jiang to become increasingly annoyed as she clenched her fists tightly.

"Mother!" How about I go with you! " Big Miss Jiang, who was standing at the side, finally couldn't help but speak up.

She was afraid that if Lady Jiang did not say this, Second Miss Jiang would not be able to bear her mother's nagging!

"How can that be? Go back to the house!" Madame Jiang's voice suddenly rose to a higher pitch.

Big Miss Jiang smiled helplessly as she glanced at her depressed little sister.

"Mother, little sister will definitely do well!"

Usually, being scolded was a scolding. At such a critical moment, Miss Jiang still doted on her little sister and couldn't help but speak up for her.

"Mother Gu, you're still so nagging!" From the other end came Second Lady Xu's teasing voice. "Fortunately, I was reincarnated well. If I were Second Miss Jiang, I'm afraid that even I would be annoyed to death by you!"

Everyone was amused by Second Madam Xu's witty words. The wives began chattering about their parenting scriptures, and for a while, the room became as lively as a bustling scene in a market.

If Madame Jiang were to continue speaking, it would inevitably harm Second Miss Jiang's face. She could only embarrassedly keep her mouth shut, exhorting her mother by her side before turning around and returning to the crowd of madams.

"Sister, let's go kite!" The Jiang sisters came over, and Second Miss Jiang took a big step forward and jumped right in front of me.

"I have a big butterfly kite, so I look good!" Second Miss Jiang's little face was pink as she danced and waved her hands. Her happiness could be seen from the joy in her heart: "I'll teach you how to fly a kite!"

How did she know I couldn't fly a kite?

Once, I really didn't know, but I was taught by Xue Lang.

He told me that he was like the kite, that no matter how far he flew, there was always a string in my hand, and if I wanted to, he would just pull the string and he would come back.

"Nonsense!" Big Miss Jiang lightly patted her sister's arm. "Who hung that centipede kite of mine on a tree? You should learn it yourself before teaching it to others! "

Second Miss Jiang's face turned red with embarrassment. She scratched her neck and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Thank you elder sister for your good will!" I smiled at Second Miss Jiang. "But I'm not feeling well lately. I want to go to Sister Yan's room to rest for a while!"

"Huh?" Second Miss Jiang was very surprised, "What happened to you? "Where's the discomfort?"

I laughed to myself.

This idiot! He couldn't even recognize the words of the other party!

Second Miss Jiang could not tell, but Eldest Miss Jiang had a keen sense of hearing and vision.

"Since that's the case, Rou Er, bring the other misses along with you. I'll bring Sister Yuanyuan to my room for a while."

"Sister Yuanyuan, you're not going!" Second Miss Jiang lowered her head as if disappointed by my rejection.

After a while, Second Miss Jiang raised her head.

"Then I'm not going either!" The corners of Second Miss Jiang's mouth twitched, as if she was extremely regretful that she missed a chance to fly a kite.

When Eldest Miss Jiang heard her sister's foolish words, she couldn't help but laugh out of anger.

Clearly, Second Miss Jiang did not understand what she should do!

Although she was the one who brought the ladies to fly the kite, as a member of the Jiang family, she had to serve the ladies as the host.

He poured tea and changed his clothes. Even though he didn't need Second Miss Jiang to do it personally, he still had to watch from the side as the person in charge of the overall situation.

But now that Second Miss Jiang said that she wasn't going, should she bring the ladies along with her?

"Stop fooling around!" What's wrong with you not going? " Eldest Miss Jiang gently gave Second Miss Jiang a burst of courage, urging her to go quickly.

"Alright!" Second Miss Jiang was naive but not stupid.

After seeing how her elder sister treated the ladies, she should at least know a little bit about it, right?

Second Miss Jiang was somewhat unwilling. She pursed her lips and looked pitifully at Eldest Miss Jiang with her big, wet eyes.

"Sister Rou!" I smiled and pulled Second Miss Jiang. "Look, all the ladies are waiting for you!"

The ladies of the Xu family had already stood up and gathered together to speak to the ladies of the Xu family. The third lady was being embraced by the third wife of the Xu family. Eldest Miss Xue kept her head low as she followed behind Mrs. Xue like a young maid.

It seemed that Lady Xu and Lady Xue were prepared to stay by their mothers' side.

Second Miss Jiang carried a discouraged expression and invited everyone to gather around.

To my surprise, Big Miss Xue, who had been standing far away from the other young misses all this while, also came. She looked like she didn't really care when she was two or three steps away from them.

After seeing Second Miss Jiang and two capable women leading a team of young misses out, Big Miss Jiang and I bid our farewells to the elders.

Grandmother seemed very pleased that I had not been involved with a group of young ladies out for fun, and she smiled and told us to watch the water and not to quarrel.

Eldest Miss Jiang happily responded. She pulled my hand and said to Grandmother, "Old Ancestor, you can rest assured!"

"You're a lucky boy!" His grandmother held Miss Jiang's hand and caressed it gently. "I'll send you off then!"

"At that time" would probably mean that Miss Jiang had left the pavilion, right?

Big Miss Jiang's face was red with embarrassment as she withdrew her hand from her grandmother's grasp. "How can you be like this!"

Grandmother chuckled, as if she was enjoying Miss Jiang's bashfulness.

"I wonder if Rou-Er can do it?" Along the way, Miss Jiang kept mumbling to herself absentmindedly about her sister.

"Why don't we go take a look?" I looked at her mischievously.

"How can that be!" Big Miss Jiang instinctively rejected me before realizing that I was teasing her.

"You little hoof!" Big Miss Jiang laughed as she scolded me, "What a wimp!"

"What did I say?" I pretended to be at a loss and asked her one question at a time.

The two of them chatted happily along the way, not feeling bored at all.

After exiting the pavilion, they crossed the stone bridge and returned to the main building. They walked west, and within the time it took to make a cup of tea, they arrived at Miss Jiang's courtyard.

"Returning Moon Restaurant?" I read out the words on the signboard. "Elder sister's courtyard name is rather elegant!"

"Come in!" Big Miss Jiang smiled and urged me, "There are ten air vents over there. It's very cold!"

"Where's the elegance!" Big Miss Jiang laughed helplessly. "It's just my brother messing around!"

It's Young Master Jiang again!
