Jiang Suining sighed softly, "After all, I just came to the Imperial City, and I don't know many people and things. I heard that most of the people in this academy are children of merchants. I'm afraid that if I offend someone by accident, it will affect my parents' business. I ask these questions because I want them to be more careful in the future."

These words were said sincerely, and coupled with Jiang Suining's impeccable expression, they successfully dispelled Lin Ziqing's doubts.

"I see." Lin Ziqing nodded, but then he changed his mind and said, "Then why don't you ask your brother?"

Even though Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were not in the academy and might not be fully aware of these things, Jiang Mushi should know them.

Jiang Suining looked at Lin Ziqing with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Lin Ziqing's eyes lit up. It seemed that the relationship between Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi was indeed not harmonious. And looking at Jiang Suining's appearance, he should be able to ask something.

"Sister Jiang, I..."

"Forget it. I was rude to interrupt you just now. I shouldn't waste Mr. Lin's time on these things. I'll leave first." Jiang Suining withdrew his gaze in time, looking as if he had given up.

"No, I just said it casually. I don't mean that I don't want to tell you." Lin Ziqing spoke quickly. Why did he leave before he even asked?

"Really?" Jiang Suining stopped getting on the carriage and showed a happy expression, "So Brother Lin is willing to tell me about it?"

"Of course." Lin Ziqing nodded.

Once again swallowing his curiosity, Lin Ziqing began to tell Jiang Suining about the students in the academy and what business their families were doing, and even mentioned whether they had any connection with the Jiang family.

After listening to Lin Ziqing's talk, Jiang Suining also had a general understanding of the situation of some important students.

The Jiang family made their fortune in the weaving business. Although their shops covered a wide range of areas, their main focus was still silk.

In the academy, there are four or five families that have business dealings with the Jiang family. There is also another family that is mainly engaged in the jewelry business and has little dealings with the Jiang family, but the owner of that family is a good friend of Jiang Zhitong and they have a close relationship.

"Sister Jiang, I have basically told you everything I know." At the tea stall on the west side of the academy, Lin Ziqing said something that made his mouth dry. He picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a big sip.

"Thank you, Brother Lin. After listening to what you said, I feel much more at ease." Jiang Suining smiled, picked up the teapot in front of him, and poured another cup of tea for Lin Ziqing.

“You’re welcome.” Lin Ziqing waved his hand, turned his eyes and said, “Sister Jiang, I’ve answered your question, but I wonder if you…”

"It is indeed time for me to go home." Jiang Suining took over Lin Ziqing's words and said them very calmly.

"Ah?" Lin Ziqing was stunned. Jiang Suining must have misunderstood. He didn't want to urge anyone to leave.

But before he could speak, Jiang Suining said, "I'm sorry for wasting Brother Lin's time. You should go home soon."

"Sister Jiang, you don't have to be polite. Just..."

"It's my duty to thank you, but it's getting late, so I'll leave first. If I don't go back soon, I'm afraid my family will be worried."

Jiang Suining smiled gently and obediently, as if she didn't realize that Lin Ziqing also had questions to ask. There was a smile in her eyes, which were sparkling and very beautiful.

Lin Ziqing was dazed for a moment. When he came to his senses, Jiang Suining had already stood up and bowed to him.

Lin Ziqing had no choice but to stand up and return the greeting, then watched Jiang Suining leave and head towards the carriage.

When the carriage left, he suddenly realized that he had wasted so much time, but he hadn't even asked a single word of the question he wanted to ask at the beginning.

Lin Ziqing frowned, looked at the direction the carriage left, and secretly asked himself in his heart, is it because this Sister Jiang is too beautiful that he is embarrassed to ask further questions?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lin Ziqing slapped his head without hesitation.

What are you thinking!

No matter how beautiful she is, it can’t stop him from finding out information!

He will definitely find out the true relationship between Jiang Suining and the Jiang family, and how bad the relationship between Jiang Mushi and Jiang Suining is!

……

On the other hand, on his way back, Jiang Suining was digesting the news that Lin Ziqing had told him before, while secretly thinking in his mind how to make good use of Lin Ziqing's talent for snooping without arousing suspicion.

When the carriage stopped, she just reached the door and saw Jiang Mushi running over.

"Catch that bastard!" Jiang Zhitong, who was following behind, was furious and shouted at the servant guarding the door.

The servant hurried forward and tried to stop Jiang Mushi, but the latter was as slippery as a loach and slipped away from the servant in an instant.

Jiang Suining had no intention of getting involved, but when Jiang Mushi was about to run out of the mansion, he was pulled by a servant who reacted quickly and he tripped over the threshold.

With a thud, he fell heavily to the ground in front of Jiang Suining!

Jiang Suining: “…” Her brother is so “polite”.

Jiang Mushi frowned in pain, and when he looked up and met Jiang Suining's gaze, his face immediately turned red. He hurriedly got up and wanted to continue running, but Jiang Zhitong had already caught up with him and grabbed Jiang Mushi by the back of the collar.

"You bastard, run again if you can!"

Jiang Mushi struggled hard for a few times, but couldn't get free at all, so he had to give up and glared at Jiang Suining angrily.

"It's all your fault for blocking the way!"

Jiang Suining laughed, "I was just standing here, and you rushed over to pay your respects."

"You..." Jiang Mushi's face turned even redder, but this time it was out of anger.

Jiang Zhitong slapped Jiang Mushi on the head, "Stinky boy, stop being naughty in front of your sister!"

"Father, what happened?" Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Zhitong and asked.

"Don't mention it. This brat didn't go home after school. He and his friends went to fight crickets with others. He even beat them up after losing. The parents of the other party came to our house with their children. He has brought shame to the Jiang family!"

"I didn't lose, they cheated me, and they also stole my Green-headed General!" Jiang Mushi said angrily.

"You're just a broken cricket, what green-headed general? You are not allowed to play with it anymore!" Jiang Zhitong said unhappily.

"Why? I just want to play. I'm going to find them and get General Qingtou back!" Jiang Mushi shouted unwillingly.

"I think you deserve a beating. You lost the cricket to them, and you still have the nerve to snatch it?"

"I told you, they cheated, they cheated!"

Jiang Mushi argued loudly and unconvinced, but Jiang Zhitong no longer had the patience to listen to him yelling at the gate of the mansion.

"Stop talking nonsense and go back to your room to reflect on yourself. You don't have to eat dinner today."

Having said that, Jiang Zhitong signaled the servant to take the person back quickly.

The two servants rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Mushi, and Jiang Suining looked at his angry face and called him back.

"and many more!"
