"Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you. Jiang Chengyi was not sensible today. Please forgive me." Jiang Jinyu apologized directly to Xu Wanying.

Jiang Chengyi was so angry when he heard this: "Jinyu, what are you talking about? Why apologize to her? I did nothing wrong. It was obviously she who wanted to kill my pet! Before you came-"

He seemed to want to say something, but seemed to feel uncomfortable and swallowed his words back.

"Third sister-in-law, please have more rest." Jiang Jinyu bowed to her and quickly walked out.

Jiang Chengyi obviously hadn't made enough of the fuss, and immediately shouted, "Jinyu, why are you leaving? Today's matter has not yet come to a conclusion. Xu must apologize to my Chi Lian, otherwise I will never give up!"

He shouted loudly, but Jiang Jinyu had already left without looking back.

Jiang Chengyi looked at his sister's receding back, and after hesitating for a long time, he stomped his feet and chased after her.

But before crossing the threshold, he suddenly turned back and said fiercely: "Xu, this matter is not over yet, tomorrow I will make you pay for Chi Lian's life!"

Until the very end, he was still talking big.

"Okay, then you must come. You'd be a jerk if you don't come!" Xu Wanying pretended to be scared, but did not forget to wave to him.

But the second half of the sentence sounded very harsh, and it made Jiang Chengyi so angry again that he almost turned around immediately and rushed over to settle the score with her.

Jiang Jinyu was afraid that he might do something to Xu Wanying, so she immediately grabbed him.

"Jinyu, what's wrong?" He stopped and looked back at her.

Jiang Jinyu met his focused gaze, and instantly the words the system said popped up in her mind. She immediately let go of her hand and wiped it with an embroidered handkerchief.

"It's nothing, go back quickly, mother is still waiting in the yard, don't cause trouble anymore!" She said calmly.

She thought her hand-wiping action was gentle and inconspicuous, but in fact Jiang Chengyi saw it.

His eyelids were drooped, and his gaze remained on her hands.

The girl's hands are white and smooth, with a faint pink tint at the joints of her fingers, making her look very pretty and charming.

In her hand, she held a soft silk handkerchief, on which was embroidered an orange cat playing with a ball, looking very adorable.

Even without getting close, he seemed to be able to smell the fragrance on the handkerchief. Although it was cold in winter, smelling her warm fragrance was refreshing, as if his body was warming up.

A hint of determination flashed across Jiang Chengyi's eyes. This was her newly embroidered handkerchief, and it was the first time he had seen an orange cat pattern on it. He didn't have such a collection in his two boxes.

"How did I cause trouble? Didn't you say that I should come to see Xu first and hide it from mother? I did everything you said, so why are you still angry and even blame me?" Jiang Chengyi argued.

At this moment, Jiang Jinyu no longer had the energy to argue with him. Without saying a word, she walked straight towards Shoukang Garden.

Jiang Chengyi, on the other hand, was following closely behind, still chattering away.

"No, you didn't say a few words after you went to Qingxi Pavilion. Why are you unhappy? You even spoke for others. What kind of charm does Xu Wanying have that can make you so confused?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I ask you to throw the snake in front of her? The gauze on her head hasn't been removed yet. What if she gets scared and falls down again? Are you going to give her your life as compensation?" Jiang Jinyu couldn't help it after all. She stopped and raised her voice to retort.

"Why are you so fierce? I am the legitimate son of the Marquis's family. Who is she? Is she worthy of me paying for her life? Let her die. With Third Brother's status and position, as well as his handsome looks and bright future, he can find a successor who will have a higher status than her. If she hadn't been scheming and stuck to me, being Third Brother's concubine would be too low a status!" Jiang Chengyi said nonchalantly.

Jiang Jinyu stood there in a daze, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Jiang Chengyi had also said such nonsense before, but she just thought that the boy was being reckless and would just talk for fun but would not really do it. She could still teach him a lesson in the future.

But after hearing what the system said, she suddenly became uncertain. She was afraid that this was what he was thinking.

Jiang Chengyi is such a cruel, ruthless and ungrateful person. He will not get better as he grows older. Instead, he may become worse and more inhumane.

"Third brother is not like you. He doesn't treat people as human beings!" Jiang Jinyu said what was in his heart when he was anxious.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Chengyi suddenly became anxious, his face turned cold, and his voice was low and quite scary.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward and cold between the two, they saw Cen and his men rushing over in a hurry.

"Brother Yi, Sister Yu, why did you two come to Qingxi Pavilion? If you disturb your sister-in-law's rest, I will never let you go!"

Cen came trotting over and spoke in an urgent tone. She rushed to them and grabbed one with each hand, as if she was afraid that they would run away.

"Mother, why are you still protecting Xu? She beat up my beloved pet—"

Jiang Chengyi was originally holding his grudge against Jiang Jinyu, but when he heard that his own mother was also speaking for Xu Wanying, he suddenly became even more annoyed and couldn't help complaining.

But before he could finish his words, Cen slapped him hard on the back, interrupting him from saying the rest.

"What Xu? Call me Third Sister-in-law!"

"What third sister-in-law? She hasn't even consummated the marriage with my third brother. How can she be called the third sister-in-law?" Jiang Chengyi was very unconvinced.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped several more times, this time even on the head.

"Who taught you to be so disrespectful? She was married in a formal ceremony, carried into the gate of our Loyalty Marquis's mansion in a sedan chair, and is the third wife. Whether the marriage is consummated or not has nothing to do with it. And who taught you, an unmarried man, to say such things? Aren't you ashamed?"

Cen was very strong, and after a few hits, Jiang Chengyi was stunned.

You should know that Mrs. Cen attached great importance to etiquette and never used violence. Moreover, she always doted on the twins, a boy and a girl. After all, she had these children when she was older, so she doted on them more than the children she had given birth to before.

This was the first time she beat her young son, and her movements were swift, accurate and ruthless.

"Third sister-in-law is third sister-in-law, mother, did you have to be so harsh? My head hurts." He didn't dare to resist his mother like he did to his sister, and his tone softened instantly, pretending to be in unbearable pain.

Cen immediately felt distressed and reached out to rub his head.

"Have you two met your third sister-in-law?" she began to ask.

“Yes.”

"How is she?" Cen's heart was a little nervous.

"What else could he do? He can eat and sleep, and he even beat my pet to death. He even called the cook over on the spot to make soup for me! He's so fierce!" Jiang Chengyi couldn't help but be jealous again.

"What pet?" Cen asked with a frown.

"A snake." Jiang Jinyu, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

Jiang Chengyi immediately added: "Its name is Chi Lian. Although it is a snake, it is not scary at all. It looks very beautiful and has human nature. I didn't expect it to be burned to death by the third sister-in-law in the stove. What a vicious woman—"

This time, before he could finish his slanderous words, he received several slaps on the head, and the force was even stronger than last time, comparable to iron sand palms.

Jiang Chengyi was beaten so hard that he screamed and ran away with his head in his hands.

"Mom, I haven't been home for a month. Have you been practicing Kung Fu secretly? Why does it hurt so much when you hit someone?"

Cen was still not satisfied, so she ordered the servant to hold him down, and then she trotted over and started beating him again.

"You bastard, I asked you to raise a snake for fun, but you threw the beast into your sister-in-law's yard. You are living too comfortably and you are itching for trouble, right?"

"If your third sister-in-law gets scared into anything bad, your father will beat you to death!"

Cen had never been so persistent before, and when she was chasing Jiang Chengyi, she didn't care about her image at all. Her personality had completely changed.

Jiang Jinyu was still walking slowly behind. She looked at her mother who was more energetic than usual, and her guess became more certain.

I’m afraid mother can also hear what my third sister-in-law is thinking.
