Yan Xin waited for Jiang Siqiao for two hours, so when they went to Zhang Mansion, they were late.

The food is cold and the kitchen has to be re-cooked.

The Zhang family's master Zhang Dongwen, eldest young master Zhang Fu, eldest young mistress Zheng Yalan and second young master Zhang Yi accompanied them.

Yan Xin knew that Mr. Zhang had a stepmother and several underage children.

However, since they didn't ask him to come out to accompany the guests, Yan Xin pretended not to know.

"...There was something temporarily unavailable at Siqiao Bank, which caused a delay." Yan Xin explained.

The eldest young master Zhang Fu said: "It doesn't matter, we are all people who are not in a hurry, so it doesn't matter if we are late for a while. We just need some heat for a stew in the kitchen."

Yan Xin smiled.

Jiang Siqiao looked down and out and smelled of alcohol. Everyone looked at him curiously.

He was in a panic and opened his mouth to find a reason, but couldn't make it up at the moment.

"It's a bit cold today. When I was working overtime in the office, my hands and feet hurt from the cold, so Si Qiao drank some wine to keep away the cold. I said he shouldn't, but he said he forgot that he was a guest in the evening." Yan Xin explained again.

Today's weather is far from freezing hands and feet.

Anyway, just have an excuse. No one is a fool and can see that something is wrong with Jiang Siqiao.

Everyone in the Zhang family stopped asking him questions to avoid making him feel even more uncomfortable.

"Yes, yes." Jiang Siqiao said, shaking from time to time.

The eldest young lady answered Yan Xin's words: "In previous years in Beicheng, we would wear quilted jackets at this time. You are still single."

"I'm not alone anymore, I need a thick coat." The eldest young master said.

Yan Xin: "Maybe we are more afraid of the cold."

Everyone took advantage of the chat and started talking, and the maids served the dishes one after another.

The second young master, Zhang Yi, sat there and occasionally answered a few questions, but they were all about the topic.

He asked Yan Xin: "Are my siblings' skills so powerful?"

Yan Xin: "The so-called magic is just a little bit of human sophistication. I said that Shengqiu will become famous, and Hall Master Cheng will praise her. If you spend money to praise her, most of them will become popular. After all, her strength is not bad."

After hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded, smiled slightly, and the mole between his eyebrows became brighter and brighter: "It is indeed the wisdom of the world."

He added, "You and Hall Master Cheng are indeed very close."

"True intimacy is hidden in the dark. Everything on the surface is done for others to see. Second cousin should understand this." Yan Xin said.

Zhang Yi smiled again, his smile was superficial but not smiling, his smile was very light: "Everything makes sense."

"My uncle, eldest brother, and second brother all work in the city government. Normally, the relationship between the Youth Gang and the military government has nothing to do with you. I am surprised that you are so concerned and even asked Si Qiao to inquire." Yan Xin said.

Zheng Yalan smiled and said: "It's all my fault for being curious and asking Si Qiao. Later, my father-in-law, Afu, and my second brother all said something about me and blamed me for not talking too much."

The eldest young master Zhang Fu: "Yes, I told her later that she was too talkative. I was afraid that my younger siblings would be overly concerned and think you were trying to find out the truth."

"It turns out it's just a matter of family feud? Then I'm really overly worried." Yan Xin said with a smile, "Si Qiao came to question me and shocked me."

Jiang Siqiao on the side was still in a state of wandering, his face was pale, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

Seeing this, everyone in the Zhang family looked at each other, a little confused.

After finishing the meal, Yan Xin knew what everyone in the Zhang family was thinking from their expressions and words.

They are looking for Yan Xin's mistakes and want to use her to instigate the relationship between the Youth Gang and the military government, making Yan Xin miserable.

After dinner, Yan Xin was about to leave.

The second young master, Zhang Yi, said to Jiang Siqiao: "Siqiao, you stay here to sober up and pick me up to go to work tomorrow morning. The road is close."

He went to see Yan Xin again, "Is that okay, sister-in-law?"

Yan Xin smiled: "As long as Si Qiao agrees."

Jiang Siqiao nodded and said, "Thank you, second brother."

Yan Xin left first.

Bai Shuang drove to pick her up.

"...Miss, our people were in ambush near Zhang Mansion. They were unprepared, and they withdrew as soon as you came out. I'm afraid that it would be worse than wrong." Bai Shuang said.

"Unprepared? Is it really okay, or is he doing it deliberately to show us?" Yan Xin asked.

Bai Shuang: "I can't tell."

"This family is in trouble!" Yan Xin clenched her fingers gently.

Yan Xin had a strong premonition that something was wrong with them, but she couldn't find any clues.

It seemed like she was suspicious of everything.

Bai Shuang: "Are we going to deal with them carefully?"

Yan Xin has been busy with a lot of things recently. She is faced with enemies from both sides, not enough manpower, and she is afraid of disturbing the situation.

"Stand still for now." She changed the subject and asked Jiang Siqiao: "What happened to him?"

"None of us paid attention to him. However, before we set off, I asked someone to check his whereabouts today. When we return to Songxiangyuan, we will know what happened to him." Bai Shuang said.

Yan Xin spent a lot of time this night, and her head hurt a little when she came back.

Mrs. Cheng cooked the bird's nest and put in a lot of rock sugar. She drank a small bowl and felt a little more energetic.

Bai Shuang went out to meet with the spies from the adjutant's office. He came back soon and told Yan Xin what he had found out tonight.

"...Are you sure?" Yan Xin sat upright.

Bai Shuang nodded heavily: "I'm sure, the bodies have been seen and Gao Yining hid them in the warehouse. Our people didn't move for fear of arousing suspicion."

Yan Xin: "Jiang Siqiao killed Ouyang Dai this afternoon, so he acted like he was dead? Why did he?"

Bai Shuang: "It might be a trap. Ouyang Dai died in vain. You and the young marshal met the Gao brothers before. The young marshal asked people to go to Nancheng to investigate the brothers. Knowing yourself and the enemy, you have already found out a lot of things."

Yan Xin: "Tell me."

Bai Shuang recounted the news she had just received to Yan Xin one by one.

Yan Xin: "...In other words, that second-year high school boy, he has a crush on Si Qiao? I had this feeling when we were eating before."

Her judgment was not wrong.

Since her predictions were always accurate, her caution towards Zhang Yi was probably not just a guess on her part.

Yan Xin feels better.

"Yes, he has always dared to be cruel."

"Jiang Siqiao has already fallen into this situation. It's a pity for Ouyang Dai, she is very innocent." Yan Xin said.

Bai Shuang: "She can stop being a widow and fall in love. If she didn't hang out with Jiang Siqiao, she wouldn't have ended up like this."

Bai Shuang said this unintentionally, but Yan Xin said it intentionally.

She bit her lip slightly.

I wonder what will happen to her who hangs out with Jing Yuanzhao in the future?

Yan Xin didn't let Bai Shuang notice that something was wrong with her face, so she calmed down her emotions and just said: "Jiang Siqiao is staying at the Zhang Mansion. He will most likely tell the Zhang family about this."

Bai Shuang was horrified: "He's not that stupid, is he?"

The more people know, the harder it is to explain.

"I know Jiang Siqiao. His dignity is not that low. He definitely can't stand being forced by the second grader.

He is also very selfish and only cares about his own feelings rather than the overall situation. In order to escape suffering, he will definitely seek help from the Zhang brothers.

Even if he doesn't ask for help, those in the Zhang family will induce him to speak out with their eloquent tongue. "Yan Xin said.

Bai Shuang agreed.

The people in the Zhang family are indeed not simple.

"...Believe it or not, this matter has nothing to do with us, but if everything goes around, it will definitely fall on us." Yan Xin said.

Bai Shuang: "Absolutely. The Zhang family is not well-intentioned. They think you are the one who harmed Zhang Qingya and Zhang Xuan, and they won't let you go. This is an opportunity."

"If they take action, we will also meet the Zhang family head-on to see who has the highest moral standards." Yan Xin said.

Her mind raced quickly, and then she said to Bai Shuang, "I want to see my elder sister-in-law and my fifth younger brother and sister. They will help me once, and I will help them in the future."

Yan Xin didn't want to be so tepid anymore.

Taking advantage of this incident, everyone showed their cards and destroyed the false stability of Jiang Mansion.

Yan Xin has no patience anymore.
