“Zhan’er, hand Yan’yan over to Madam Zhu,” Jiang Ancheng said with a stern face.
“Father!”
“Do as I say!”
“Ah!” Jiang Zhan stomped his foot hard and handed Yan’yan to Madam Zhu.
Madam Zhu took Yan’yan and passed her to a nearby old woman. Seeing that the carriage had already gone far, keeping Yan’yan here was pointless, so she instructed the old woman to take Yan’yan back.
“Wait a moment.”
Madam Zhu looked warily at Jiang Si.
For some reason, whenever this seemingly gentle and weak Fourth Miss Jiang spoke, she began to feel uneasy.
Jiang Si walked past Madam Zhu towards Yan’yan.
“What does Miss Jiang want to do?”
Jiang Si ignored Madam Zhu’s question and bent down slightly to speak softly to Yan’yan, “Yan’yan, Auntie promises you that we’ll come to pick you up soon to see your mother. Will you promise Auntie not to cry anymore?”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true.” Jiang Si held out her hand, “Pinky promise.”
Yan’yan sniffled, hesitantly extending her little finger.
After Yan’yan was carried away by the Zhu family’s old woman, Jiang Si turned around and bowed slightly to Mr. and Mrs. Zhu Shaoqing, “Please take good care of my niece. The Jiang family will send someone to pick her up soon.”
Jiang Si’s composure successfully provoked Madam Zhu.
Madam Zhu’s face darkened as she said sternly, “Don’t even think about it!”
Jiang Si looked at Madam Zhu in surprise.
She had thought this mother-in-law, known for her strictness in her elder sister’s words, would be more composed. She didn’t expect her to lose her cool so quickly.
This was indeed Jiang Si being unreasonable.
No one can be completely unaffected by emotions, and Madam Zhu was no exception.
Her pride and joy of a son had suddenly become a beast who abandoned his wife and deceived an unmarried young lady, and she had been repeatedly provoked by a young girl like Jiang Si. Anyone would be furious and embarrassed in such a situation.
Jiang Si didn’t understand Madam Zhu’s feelings.
In her view, for a son to behave so inhumanely and for his mother to still be so overbearing, they truly deserved to be taught a lesson.
The young lady’s gaze was icy, her smile even colder as she enunciated each word, “Then let’s wait and see.”
Passing by Jiang Zhan, Jiang Si reached out and pulled him, “Second Brother, let’s go.”
On the way back, Jiang Zhan kept glancing at Jiang Si.
Jiang Si turned her head, “Why are you looking at me like that, Second Brother?”
“Fourth Sister, I’ve realized you’re quite good at intimidating people.”
Jiang Si rolled her eyes at Jiang Zhan, “Who says I’m just intimidating people?”
To help her elder sister move past the shadow of the Zhu family, they must bring Yan’yan over.
“You have a way to bring Yan’yan away?” Jiang Zhan became excited.
Jiang Si glanced at Qing’er, who was following behind with her head down and nodded slightly.
