Jiang Ningwei stared at Jiang Sihe with her big eyes, "What are you doing?"
Hearing this, Jiang Sihe looked up at Jiang Ningwei. From the moment the snake bit her to when she was treating the wound, she hadn't let out a single cry...
When Yunzhu was bitten, she even let out a scream...
Jiang Sihe looked at Jiang Ningwei in confusion and asked,
"Elder sister, don't you feel any pain?"
Jiang Ningwei stared at her with her innocent big eyes, not quite understanding what she meant...
Yunzhu beside her whispered an explanation,
"Since the accident, the eldest miss has lost the sense of pain..."
So that's it...
Jiang Sihe finished treating Jiang Ningwei's wound and saw Yunzhu imitating her to treat her own wound.
Yunzhu noticed the second miss looking at her and quickly said,
"Thank you, second miss, for today. If it weren't for you..."
"Don't thank me. As long as the second aunt doesn't say that I harmed the elder sister later..."
Yunzhu felt a bit uncomfortable at Jiang Sihe's words. Usually, whenever something happened to the eldest miss or the second branch, the second lady would first suspect the first branch. Even if it wasn't their doing, she would still blame them...
They were afraid that they would be interrogated and punished after returning today...
Jiang Sihe saw through Yunzhu's thoughts at a glance and said gently,
"Alright. Since I was also present today, I will surely be suspected by the second aunt. Why don't I go back with you and explain it to the second aunt in person..."
Yunzhu naturally agreed. After all, if the second miss went back with them, the second lady's anger would surely be directed at the second miss, and they, the servants, would have an easier time!
"Then thank you, second miss!"
Yunzhu's words had two meanings. She was thanking her for helping them and for being willing to go back to the second branch to answer questions!
"Elder sister, let me help you up!"
Jiang Ningwei had already recognized Jiang Sihe. She nodded with a smile, "Okay. I know who you are. You're the one who said the little wooden horse was playing hide-and-seek with me..."
"Yeah, elder sister has a really good memory!"
Jiang Sihe felt a bit guilty for what she had done to the innocent elder sister today, so her words were a bit more gentle.
"You're very beautiful. You must not be a bad person. My mother said I'm not allowed to play with other people in the mansion. She said they're all bad people and will harm me. Will you?"
Jiang Sihe felt a bit ashamed at this question. In order to achieve her goal, she had indeed done something sorry to the elder sister today.
At first, she didn't feel anything. She just wanted to achieve her goal. After all, it was the second lady who had released the snake first. She just wanted the second lady to learn a lesson, but she had indeed hurt the innocent Jiang Ningwei.
"Elder sister, do you like the little wooden horse?"
Jiang Ningwei nodded with a smile, "I like it!"
"Then I'll send some really beautiful ones to elder sister!"
She wanted to make up for what she had done to Jiang Ningwei, so her tone was extremely gentle.
"What's your name? I like you. Can you play with me in the future? Or can I come to play with you?"
Just as Jiang Sihe was about to nod, Yunzhu beside her said,
"Eldest miss, you can't play with the second miss. The lady will punish us if she finds out!"
Jiang Ningwei frowned, "You don't have to tell mother. I can play with her secretly..."
Jiang Sihe noticed that Jiang Ningwei didn't seem to be stupid. She seemed to be stuck in a young period and could never get out!
"Elder sister, my name is Jiang Sihe. I'm your younger sister. You can call me Ahe..."
Before, she had indeed intended to use Jiang Ningwei to investigate what had happened back then. She also wanted the second lady to know that if she could hurt others' loved ones, others could also hurt the people she cared about the most...
But now that she had actually done it, she regretted it very much.
This time, Jiang Sihe really wanted to make friends with Jiang Ningwei. Even though she was as innocent as a child, she had a sincere heart.
"Jiang Sihe... younger sister... Xiaohe. Then I'll call you Xiaohe!"
Jiang Sihe nodded, "Elder sister can call me that too!"
The group entered the courtyard of the second branch. First, the old woman at the door stopped them and stared at Jiang Sihe coldly.
Seeing this, Yunzhu stepped forward and said a few words to the old woman, and then she let them in.
The second branch really guarded against the first branch everywhere!
After entering the main hall, Yunzhu went to report to the second lady, and asked the two maids to take the eldest miss back to her room first.
Jiang Sihe and the others waited in the main hall.
At this moment, Danfeng couldn't help but ask, "What does the miss want to do?"
"Don't worry. I just want to have a few words with the second aunt!"
Talk? Would she use such complicated means just to talk?
"Danfeng, don't tell the first lady about this when we get back."
She had already told Xiuyue last night.
Before Danfeng could reply, the second lady, Shen, strode in with two maids, looking cold and fierce.
Jiang Sihe stood up and saluted the second lady, Shen,
"Second aunt, this is the first time I've come to your courtyard since I returned to the mansion for many days!"
The second lady sneered, "My courtyard has never welcomed people from the first branch!"
Jiang Sihe still kept smiling, "Second aunt, you shouldn't speak too absolutely..."
The second lady gave her a cold look, "Why was it just you in the back garden today when Ningwei was bitten by a snake? Do you think it's a coincidence?"
"Second aunt, why don't you first ask what kind of snake bit the elder sister? And then ask if it's a coincidence?"
Shen frowned slightly, "What kind of snake does it matter?"
Jiang Sihe glanced at Danfeng, "You and Xiuyue go out first. I have something to say to the second lady alone!"
Danfeng hesitated a bit, afraid that the miss would suffer in the second branch...
Jiang Sihe nodded at her, "Go. Wait for me at the door!"
She wouldn't come to the second branch easily without full confidence.
Seeing that Jiang Sihe was so bold in her courtyard, Shen looked at her even more meaningfully!
Where did this little girl get the confidence? Wasn't she afraid that she would do something to her?
Jiang Sihe glanced at the maids behind Shen and smiled slightly, "Second aunt, are you still afraid that I'll do something to you in your courtyard?"
This made Shen sneer, "A yellow-haired girl? I'm not afraid of you!"
After saying that, she waved her hand and told the maids behind her to retreat.
"Now you can say what you want to say!"
Shen stepped forward and sat in the main seat, her eyebrows furrowed.
"The snake that bit the elder sister today is the one the second aunt had someone release!"
Jiang Sihe didn't beat around the bush at all. Her words immediately changed Shen's face.
"What are you talking nonsense about?"
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, the second aunt knows best in her heart. I hate using such dark means to harm people in secret the most. Since there are grudges, why not talk it out..."
Shen sneered, "I don't need you to be a peacemaker. The grudge between me and Wang Mingyi can never be resolved in this lifetime!"
"Then does the second aunt want to use those dirty means to harm people for the rest of her life?"
The cold question from the junior made Shen look a bit awkward.
"What do you know... The pain I've suffered can never be repaid by Wang Mingyi in her lifetime!"
Seeing that she couldn't be reasoned with, Jiang Sihe didn't纠缠 this issue anymore. She directly pointed in the direction where Jiang Ningwei was,
"The elder sister was bitten by a snake today. Who knows what kind of backlash she might suffer in the future. The second aunt should think about it more!"
