Chapter 9: Enemies Hiding in the Shadows

Sending off the servants, Jiang Jingshu turned to Peony again.

Feeling the sharp gaze, Peony became even more restless, and she buried her head deeply. Jiang Jingshu's voice sounded above her head: "What were you doing yesterday?" ”

"Back to ...... Back to the third miss, the second miss should generally fall asleep, the slave maid is preparing toiletries for the second miss, but when the slave and maid return to the room after fetching water, but do not see the figure of the second miss, and then ......"

"That is, there is no one to testify for you?" Jiang Jingshu interrupted her.

Peony hurriedly shook her head, "No, but the slave maid didn't take half a step out of the house, and kept cleaning the house, while waiting for the second lady to return, what the slave said was never half a lie!" ”

"You just said, what happened then?"

"Later, the second lady came back, looking a little ......"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Peony made a lot of determination before she raised her head and said, "The second young lady's expression was a little hasty, and she told the slave maid that she was tired, and the slave maid served the young lady to sleep as soon as possible." ”

"Where did the second sister go before?"

"Slaves don't know ......"

Now, being described by Peony like this, ordinary people will naturally suspect Jiang Qiong.

Jiang Jingshu frowned, but she was not surprised in her heart.

In the previous assessment, she was the one who added water to her ink.

After all, her second sister has always liked to pretend to be clever and use some small means.

Since I was a child, I have seen the first clues.

One summer day at the age of six—

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the Marquis of Anguo's mansion is like a steamer inside and out, exuding heat everywhere. Beside the backyard wall shrouded in greenery, two small figures suddenly appeared, bending down and quietly moving forward.

One green and one blue, bringing some coolness to this hot summer.

Jiang Jingshu wiped the sweat on her forehead, glanced around, saw that there was no one, and straightened up, "The eldest sister doesn't even go out on weekdays, and the younger sister is too young, only the second sister plays around with me, you're the best~"

"Shhhh ”

"This kind of height, it's a small thing." It's obviously a childish voice, but it's full of confidence.

The next moment, Jiang Jingshu blinked, approached Jiang Qiong, and said in her ear: "Second sister, I'll climb the tree first, and I may have to borrow your shoulder later." ”

"Lend my ...... Shoulder? Jiang Qiong frowned.

"Hmmm! As soon as I reached the ground, I opened the courtyard door, and the second sister came out of there. ”

As she spoke, Jiang Jingshu quickly climbed onto the tree trunk. Wearing a gray and blue kaftan skirt, it does not affect her speed at all, and her movements are very skillful, and she looks like a veteran.

"Second sister, second sister, it's your turn."

Jiang Qiong looked at the agile figure a little distracted, and was pulled back to her thoughts by this crisp voice.

She nodded, an unknown color flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Qiong is only two months older than Jiang Jingshu, and her body length is also one meter, and it is no problem to deal with a wall of less than two meters.

Climbable ...... Always a little indecent.

She took two steps back, Jiang Jingshu stretched out her left foot and carefully stepped on her shoulder, Jiang Qiong's body shook suddenly.

Jiang Jingshu's stress reaction prompted her to grab the branch closest to her, kick her foot, and re-enter the tree.

Jiang Qiong couldn't withstand such a reaction, her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell to the ground like a turtle, her face covered with dust, and she was extremely embarrassed.

"Ahh

Screams echoed through the backyard.
