The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

"Sui Ning, what's wrong?" Jiang Zhitong looked at Jiang Sui Ning, and the expression on his face eased slightly.

"Father, I don't think Mu Shi is lying. Why don't we ask him again? Maybe he was really cheated by someone."

Jiang Mushi looked at Jiang Suining instantly. He didn't expect that Jiang Suining would speak for him and even believe him.

"Sui Ning, you don't know, this brat is always causing trouble, you can't trust what he says. And I saw the child who was beaten just now, he looked well-behaved and polite, unlike this brat who is vicious and almost attacked in front of the parents. I don't know how I raised such a brat."

"He was just pretending!"

"Then why don't you pretend to be one for me? If you can do it, I will surrender to you!"

"I..." Jiang Mushi was speechless for a moment.

"And I've told you before, don't play with crickets, it's a waste of time! But not only did you not listen, you even hit someone today. No matter what, I have to teach you a lesson this time!"

Sensing that Jiang Zhitong's tone was filled with anger, Jiang Mushi's expression dimmed and he finally stopped struggling. However, the anger in his eyes turned into grievance.

Seeing Jiang Mushi being dragged away by the servant, Jiang Suining frowned, but looking at Jiang Zhitong's appearance, she didn't say anything else.

Jiang Mushi was locked in the room to reflect until the next morning. When it was time to go to school, he refused to come out.

Jiang Zhitong became even angrier after finding out. He directly asked someone to go to the academy to ask for leave, and told Jiang Mushi not to go if he didn't want to. He wanted to see how long he could stay in the room.

Although Zheng felt distressed, she also knew that her husband was really angry this time. It was difficult to persuade him, so she could only secretly send some food to Jiang Mushi.

Outside the academy, Jiang Suining arrived early. It was not yet time for class, so she did not go in, but sat at the tea stall where she had sat yesterday.

When Lin Ziqing arrived, he saw Jiang Suining at a glance. When he was about to step forward, he saw Biyun coming from the other side and walking quickly to Jiang Suining's side.

"Miss, I have already inquired about it. Except for the two young masters Liu Jun and Li Pengcheng, the others who fought crickets with the young master yesterday were not students of the academy."

"Have you found out who it is?" Jiang Suining asked.

Biyun shook her head. "I only know that the man who came to my house to complain yesterday was the son of the owner of the grain and oil shop on West Street. I don't know anything else."

"I always feel that Mu Shi did not lie. He might have really been cheated by someone. But unfortunately, I can't find the person. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to find out the news clearly."

As he spoke, Jiang Suining sighed.

"Forget it, it's getting late. You should go home first. I have to go to class too."

"Then I will go to the carriage and get the book box for the young lady."

"Okay." Jiang Suining responded. After glancing at Lin Ziqing who was standing not far away, he stood up and walked towards the academy.

"Miss, the bookcase."

Next to the carriage, Biyun handed the book box to Jiang Suining, and at the same time couldn't help but speak in a low voice in confusion.

"Miss, didn't you already know the news last night? Why do you have to ask me to tell you again?"

The young lady had already asked these questions last night, but before she went out in the morning, she specifically asked me to come with her and pretend that I had just heard the news. After getting the young lady's hint, I stepped forward to report the news.

Jiang Suining smiled and said in a low voice: "Those words you just said were not meant for me."

Although some information may not be difficult to know if you inquire carefully, there is no need to bother yourself when there are people who can do the simple tricks for you.

Jiang Suining didn't explain any further and entered the academy.

Lin Ziqing was standing not far from the tea stall, with curiosity in his eyes.

In the academy, after Jiang Suining sat down, he saw Liu Jun and Li Pengcheng after a while.

The two of them greeted Jiang Suining, and after learning that Jiang Mushi had taken a leave and would not come to school today, they did not ask any further questions and quickly sat in their respective seats.

But Jiang Suining noticed that both of them had changed into new clothes, and the material was much more expensive than what they wore yesterday.

Yesterday, when Lin Ziqing mentioned Liu Jun and Li Pengcheng, he almost just mentioned them in passing. Although their families were also merchants, their family conditions seemed to be very ordinary.

The three of them went to fight crickets together, and a fight broke out. Even if they didn't know that Jiang Mushi was being visited by someone, as friends, seeing that he didn't come today, they should at least show some concern and ask a few more questions, but these two people didn't seem to care at all...

Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows slightly, and a guess emerged in his mind.

At the end of a class, during the break, a ball of paper was suddenly thrown onto Jiang Suining's desk. She turned her head and saw Lin Ziqing standing outside the window waving at her.

Jiang Suining walked out, and on the corridor, Lin Ziqing was smiling profoundly.

"Are you worried about your brother's cricket fight with someone yesterday?"

Jiang Suining pretended to be surprised, "How did Master Lin know that?"

"Not only do I know this, I also know that your brother was deceived, and the person who deceived him was actually..."

"Liu Jun and Li Pengcheng?" Jiang Suining took over Lin Ziqing's words and spoke.

The latter looked at her in surprise, "How did you know?"

Jiang Suining curled his lips and smiled, "I guessed it, but seeing how Master Lin looks, I guessed it right."

Lin Ziqing looked at Jiang Suining for a moment before continuing.

"That's right. I found out that the man who won the cricket from your brother was the son of Wangyue Pavilion's boss, Shen Chao. He had long had his eyes on your brother's Green-headed General, so he bribed Liu Jun and the others to trick your brother into fighting crickets. He also bribed the son of the Chai family to deliberately provoke your brother, so that he would punch you a few times and then bring his parents to your house to make trouble. This way, your brother would be too busy to take care of himself, and even if he reacted, he would not have the time to go to him to ask for the money."

"How old is Shen Chao?"

"Twelve years old."

Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows slightly. At the age of twelve, he not only set up a trap to deceive Jiang Mushi, but also deliberately arranged for someone to be beaten so that Jiang Mushi would be punished. This could be considered as having means.

"What do you think? Sister Jiang, do you think I'm very well-informed?" Lin Ziqing said with a hint of pride in his tone.

It was only one class period, but he had found out everything.

"Indeed, he is very smart." Jiang Suining raised his lips, "Master Lin is indeed amazing."

Lin Ziqing listened to the compliment and waved his hand without any embarrassment. "For me, this is a normal performance. By the way, what are you going to do now?"

Seeing that Jiang Suining cares so much about this matter, he probably won't just let it go.

"Of course it's revenge." Jiang Suining said with a smile.

"So you siblings have a pretty good relationship?" Lin Ziqing asked curiously.

He felt yesterday that Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi should not have a good relationship, but if it was not, Jiang Suining should not be so concerned about this matter.

Jiang Suining did not avoid the question this time. Instead, he looked at Lin Ziqing and nodded, "Yes, he is my brother after all."

"So are you really siblings?" Lin Ziqing asked again.

He was actually more curious about this than the relationship between them as siblings.

Although he was well-informed, it was only limited to the imperial city. Jiang Suining came from outside the imperial city, and he couldn't find out her background by himself.

Jiang Suining smiled and said, "If you want to know, Mr. Lin, you have to do me a favor first."

"What's the deal?"

"Of course, it's to prove Jiang Mushi's innocence." Jiang Suining paused for a moment, thinking of Jiang Mushi's red eyes yesterday, and added, "By the way, get my silly brother's favorite thing back."
