Jiang Sijin was firm in her belief. The first ti she laid eyes on Yan Xin, she got the feeling that she was not a trustworthy person. However, her older sister had always considered Yan Xin a close friend.

Seeing the wrath in Jiang Sijin’s eyes, Jiang Peihuan chuckled lightly. “If we don’t have any evidence, voicing such suspicions will only stir up gossip. So, let’s not bring it up again.”

“Since you’re not fond of Second Miss Yan, I’ll distance myself from her in the future.”

“Are you serious, Eldest Sister?”

“Of course.”

Hearing this, Jiang Sijin was elated.

There was a knock on the private room’s door. The previously injured waiter walked in, his wound now tended to. With careful precision, he set the food on the table and apologized, “Ladies, I deeply regret spilling the food earlier. Here is a freshly prepared al. I’m sorry for making you wait.”

“It’s fine,” responded Xue Yan. Being aware of the incident that had just transpired outside, she was not bothered by the waiter’s admission.

Seeing the group’s lack of bla, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief.

At this mont, Jiang Peihuan extended a piece of gold to the waiter. “Keep the change. Use the remainder as a tip for yourself. Once the restaurant closes, find a doctor to examine your injuries.”

“Thank you, Miss.”

Initially, the waiter was sowhat disheartened. He felt unfortunate for being kicked around undeservedly and having to cover the cost of the spilt al. However, seeing the gold in Jiang Peihuan’s hand instantly dissolved his gloom.

“Alright, let’s start eating. After we finish, Songbai, you’ll escort Xin Er ho.”

“Third Aunt, I’m worried that the Yan family might stir up trouble again. Perhaps, Song Bai and I should accompany Xin Er ho later,” suggested Jiang Peihuan.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiu showed a hint of worry. “This incident was initiated by the rudeness of Young Master Yan. Are they still planning to harass Xin Er?”

Seeing the concern in Liu Xiu’s eyes, Jiang Peihuan softly replied, “It’s just a guess on my part. However, being cautious never hurts.”

‘”‘I want to co too, Eldest Sister,” Jiang Sijin quickly interjected.

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan didn’t respond but glanced at Xue Yan.

Suddenly, Jiang Sijin tugged at Xue Yan’s sleeve. “Mother, please let accompany Eldest Sister.”

“You may go, but behave yourself. Stick with your sister.”

“Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll follow Eldest Sister’s lead.”

Half an hour later, Jiang Peihuan and Jiang Sijin climbed into Liu Xin’s carriage.

Jiang Songbai rode alongside them on horseback.

The journey was very peaceful and nothing happened. Jiang Peihuan simply thought she might be overthinking things.

As their carriage pulled up at the entrance of the Liu Mansion, Liu Xin turned towards Jiang Peihuan and Jiang Sijin with a smile. “Sister Jiang, Sijin, please join in my ho.”

Jiang Sijin remained silent, looking towards her sister for guidance.

eting Liu Xin’s eyes, Jiang Peihuan laughed softly, “It’s quite late today, so I won’t disturb you. Maybe on another day, I…”

“Young… Young Miss…”

Jiang Peihuan’s words were abruptly cut off when she noticed a middle-aged man hurrying towards them, panic written all over his face.

Seeing this man, Liu Xin’s expression changed slightly. “Uncle Liu, what’s the matter?”

“Miss, the eldest young master has been injured by soone from the Yan family. The old master is still outside the city. The eldest young master instructed to wait at the gate, and upon seeing you, to suggest you to spend the night at your aunt’s place.”

“Big brother is hurt? Is he severely injured?”

Worry filled Liu Xin’s eyes. She was about to head inside when she realized that Jiang Peihuan and the others were still present. She quickly turned back. “Sister Jiang, I can’t entertain you today. I’ll make it up to you another ti.”

With that said, Liu Xin hurriedly walked in. The steward, Uncle Liu, looked equally worried.

Upon witnessing this, Jiang Peihuan knew she could’t stand by and watch. She quickly halted Liu Xin.

“I’ll go in with you.”

“Sister Jiang, you’ve already done so much for today. If you go further…”

“Don’t fret. Regardless of whether it involves you or not, I cannot ignore such an incident. Let’s go inside. At least we should wait until Uncle Liu returns.”

“Alright, then I’m sorry to trouble you, Sister Jiang.”

Jiang Songbai instinctively tried to follow them, but Jiang Peihuan held his hand.

“Elder sister?”

Facing his puzzled gaze, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “You don’t need to join us. Go back to the house, tell Third Uncle about this situation and ask him to co here.”

“And also, send soone to inform Uncle Liu outside the city.”

“Understood, elder sister.”

“Cousin Xin Er, don’t worry. I’ll imdiately go back and bring father here.”

Jiang Songbai assured the worried Liu Xin as he prepared to mount his horse.

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s plan, Liu Xin let out a sigh of relief.

Although the Liu family was wealthy, they were rchants. Going against the Yan family would certainly put them at a disadvantage. However, with her uncle’s arrival, they wouldn’t be without support.

“Let’s go in.”

As she started speaking, Jiang Peihuan was the first to step inside.

Just upon reaching the entrance to the main hall, she heard a barrage of insults from inside. The harsh words were from none other than Yan Kuan and another all too familiar voice.

“Liu Hao, you’re being too disrespectful. Believe it or not, I can cripple you right now.”

Liu Hao, Liu Xin’s older brother, was the eldest grandson of the Liu family.

Yan Kuan and his n had Liu Hao pinned to the ground. Yan Kuan’s foot was forcefully pressing on the back of Liu Hao’s hand, a cruel grin on his face.

Pain filled Liu Hao’s eyes, blood sared the corner of his mouth, but he bore it silently.

Yan Xin, seated comfortably on a chair nearby, watched the scene unfold with a disdainful sneer, “Your Liu family is nothing more than a bunch of traders. It’s her blessing that my brother even fancies her, Liu Xin.”

The ntion of Liu Xin sparked clear disgust in Yan Xin’s eyes.

She hated Liu Xin, not for any other reason but the fact that a re rchant’s daughter dared to share the sa na as her. The thought alone was repugnant to Yan Xin.

“You dream of humiliating my sister? Even if you were to kill , I would never let you have her.”

“Heh… You really don’t know your place.”

At those words, Yan Kuan chuckled coldly, his eyes clouding with malice. “Well then, don’t bla for not being polite. I’ve heard you’re quite the business whiz. I wonder, can you still work your magic if I ruin your hands?”

As soon as he finished his threat, Yan Kuan applied even more pressure on Liu Hao’s hand.

The increased pain was too much for Liu Hao, causing him to cry out in agony.

But the tornt was cut short when Yan Kuan, still standing on Liu Hao’s hand, was abruptly knocked to the ground.

Jiang Peihuan, with a swift motion, loosened the whip entwined around Yan Kuan’s ankle.

Rushing to Liu Hao’s aid, Liu Xin helped him up from the floor, “Big brother, how are you? Is it very painful?”

“Xin Er, didn’t I ask you to go to our aunt’s place? Why did you co here?”

Seeing his sister, Liu Hao’s expression softened significantly, only to grow stern once again..
