Although he didn't know to what extent his third daughter had gotten along with this third young master, judging from the current situation, this third young master was still quite interested in his third daughter.
When the third young master came in, he saw Miss Jiang San standing arrogantly in the main hall, looking at him with a glint in her eyes.
"Sorry, Lord Jiang. I, a junior, came to pay you a visit without sending a calling card in advance. Please forgive me," the third young master said respectfully, looking at Lord Jiang.
Miss Jiang San was even more impressed with the third young master seeing his polite manner. Although this man had a not - so - good reputation, his abilities were obvious to all. During the few days she lived with him, she had seen him handle business.
He was really charming. She had seen many good - looking men, but this was the first time she had seen such a charismatic man. So when the people from the Jiang family came to tell her the plan, she readily agreed.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that I was going back to the Jiang family today?" Miss Jiang San walked over and looked at the third young master.
"You didn't tell me whether you'd be back today or not. So I came to have a look, and by the way, to see if your Jiang family has really gone bankrupt and has fallen to the point of having to sell your daughters to make ends meet." As he said this, he seriously sized up the surroundings, as if to confirm whether the Jiang family had gone bankrupt.
Hearing what the third young master said and thinking about what Miss Jiang San had just said, Lord Jiang understood everything. He gritted his teeth and glared at Miss Jiang Si. He never thought that what his third daughter said was true!
Seeing Lord Jiang's darkened face, Miss Jiang Si knew that if she didn't find a way to remedy the situation, she would really be doomed.
"Third young master, have you really forgotten about me? We've seen each other every day recently," Miss Jiang Si said pitifully, looking at the third young master, hoping that her fragility would arouse his protective instinct, but the third young master remained unmoved.
"Why should I remember you? You're not good - looking. Even if you dress like this to seduce me, it won't work. And Lord Jiang, I also want to talk to you about the family education of your Jiang family." As he said this, he gave Miss Jiang Si a particularly disdainful look.
"I know that your family may be facing some difficulties now, but no matter what, you shouldn't let the children bear the consequences of these things. After all, they still have a bright future ahead of them."
Lord Jiang was flushed with embarrassment by what the third young master said. "The third young master has misunderstood. Our Jiang family has not gone bankrupt. In fact, our business is booming," Lord Jiang said. He thought that if he didn't say something, this third young master might really think that their Jiang family had gone bankrupt.
"Hmm? Not bankrupt?" The third young master seemed a bit skeptical. His suspicious eyes turned to Miss Jiang Si beside him, as if wondering that since the Jiang family hadn't gone bankrupt, why their young lady would dress like this.
"Lord Jiang, you don't need to feel ashamed. Although Miss Jiang San has been living with me for the past few days, I've been taking care of all her expenses. She hasn't had to worry about anything, and I've never shorted her on money. So she must not know what's going on at home.
But she is also a member of the Jiang family, and I..." The third young master paused. After thinking about his identity, he continued, "As someone who has lived with Miss Jiang San for a while,
I won't sit back and do nothing. So Lord Jiang, just tell me directly what problems you've encountered in business. Maybe I, a junior, can help."
Lord Jiang finally understood. In the end, this third young master just didn't believe what he had just said. Thinking of this, he glared angrily at Miss Jiang Si beside him.
Miss Jiang Si shivered under Lord Jiang's gaze and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look up.
"You disgraceful thing. Hurry up and take your daughter away. Aren't you ashamed enough for our Jiang family?" Lady Jiang said coldly to the concubine.
The concubine knew that her daughter couldn't stay here now, at least not in this image. So without hesitation, the concubine helped Miss Jiang Si up from the ground and walked towards the back yard.
"Sorry. The children in the family are naive and have made the third young master misunderstand. Since the third young master has come, please come inside and have a seat. You've taken care of my daughter outside for so long. Have a simple meal with us at home today," Lady Jiang said as she went to instruct the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Lord Jiang looked at Lady Jiang with satisfaction. Only a woman from a prominent family like her could be his good helper.
The third young master didn't decline. Anyway, he had gone out tonight just to have dinner and sneak back home. But now it seemed that it wasn't a bad thing.
While they were having dinner, Miss Jiang Si walked out gracefully. She was no longer dressed in a flirtatious way as before, but was dressed very solemnly, as if she was going to attend a banquet.
"Third young master, I'm very sorry that you saw such an embarrassing side of me just now," Miss Jiang Si said softly, as if the person just now wasn't her.
"This lady..." The third young master hesitated, not knowing what to call her. Fortunately, Miss Jiang San knew what he was hesitating about, so she kindly said,
"This is my fourth younger sister. You can just call her whatever you like."
The third young master nodded in understanding. "Miss Jiang Si, don't take it to heart. After all, I've seen many women dressed like you in brothels."
The third young master's words immediately made Miss Jiang Si blush. She looked at the third young master in shame. How could this man say such things? Didn't he know that a girl's reputation was very important?
"What are you doing here?" Lady Jiang looked at Miss Jiang Si, who suddenly appeared, with an ugly face. "The third young master is such an important guest today. How can you be so out of line?"
"Mother, your daughter knows that what I did just now was wrong, but please give your daughter a chance to make up for it," Miss Jiang Si said seriously, looking at Lady Jiang.
"Lady Jiang, just let it be. Let Miss Jiang Si have dinner here," the third young master said, as if he knew Miss Jiang Si very well.
Lady Jiang was stunned when she heard what the third young master said. Did this third young master take a fancy to this fourth young lady? But he also seemed to have feelings for her daughter. Did this third young master want both of them?
Just as Lady Jiang was having wild thoughts, the third young master spoke again. "After all, I can see that Miss Jiang Si is quite hungry. I've had this kind of experience. Let her come and have dinner. It's not good for a girl to starve herself."
The third young master said this seriously.
