Jiang Ancheng hurriedly returned to the East Peace Earl’s mansion and summoned Jiang Si to his study.
When Jiang Si entered, she saw Jiang Ancheng pacing back and forth in the small study.
“Father, did you need something from me?”
Jiang Ancheng paused and beckoned to Jiang Si: “Si’er, come sit down.”
Jiang Si walked over.
Jiang Ancheng sat down heavily and asked eagerly: “Do you know Little Yu’s true identity?”
Jiang Si raised her eyebrows in surprise.
For Father to ask this… had he already learned of Yu Jin’s real identity?
“Do you know?”
Jiang Si shook her head: “How would I know what Father is asking about? Does Young Master Yu have some special identity?”
Jiang Ancheng leaned back in his chair, sighing repeatedly: “I misjudged, I misjudged!”
Jiang Si smiled slightly.
Looking at how Father spoke, when had his judgment ever been accurate…
This thought was a bit disrespectful… Jiang Si quietly lowered her gaze.
“What is Young Master Yu’s identity?”
Hearing Jiang Si’s question, Jiang Ancheng fell silent instead.
After a long while, he sighed: “It’s nothing. Si’er, you can go now.”
Jiang Si stood up and curtsied discreetly: “Then I’ll take my leave.”
As the sound of the door closing came, Jiang Ancheng frowned and pounded the table.
Now he didn’t need to worry about Si’er marrying into a noble family anymore. No matter who she married, it couldn’t be a higher status than Little Yu’s family.
What he needed to do now was to keep a close eye on things, to prevent that deceiver Little Yu from tricking his precious daughter away.
Fortunately, his daughter didn’t know Little Yu’s identity and hadn’t shown any clear signs of having feelings for him. As long as he kept his mouth shut, the two wouldn’t end up together.
That was close…
Jiang Ancheng leaned back, closing his eyes, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Marrying into an ordinary family, if one encountered an unworthy spouse, one could still divorce or sever ties. But by marrying into the royal family, one could only endure mistreatment.
He couldn’t let his daughter fall into such a dangerous situation as the royal family.
Little Yu, that deceiver!
The Earl Jiang cursed silently for the umpteenth time.
Yu Jin sat in the study of Prince Yan’s mansion, feeling his eyelid twitching incessantly.
“Long Dan—”
Long Dan, who was guarding outside the door, pushed it open and entered: “What are your orders, Master?”
“Is it the left eye twitching for wealth and the right eye for disaster, or the other way around?”
“Of course, it’s—” Long Dan swallowed the rest of his words and cautiously asked, “Which eye is twitching, Master?”
Of course, whichever eye of the Master was twitching, that eye would be twitching for wealth.
Yu Jin knew Long Dan’s slyness all too well and darkened his face: “Speak!”
“Left eye twitches for wealth, right eye for disaster!”
Yu Jin stood up with a cold face.
This wouldn’t do. He needed to see Si’er.
