Seeing He Ruhuan in the room, combined with the various tricks she had seen, she felt that she already knew what was going on: [Baby, which cup has the special ingredients?]
Second Madam received the gaze of her personal maidservant and nodded in satisfaction. She personally took the teacups one by one and put them down. When she turned around, Xiaoxiao seemed to have lost her balance and tripped. She supported herself on the table and casually switched the two teacups.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Shen and Shen Tianci thought that it was an accident and did not take it to heart. Anyway, it was the same tea. It did not matter which cup they drank.
Second Madam pushed the teacups in front of everyone. “You’ve been working all day and haven’t drunk any water. If word gets out, people will laugh at our Li Residence for not entertaining you well.”
That was more like it. Mrs. Shen’s mouth was indeed dry. She had also complained inwardly that her second sister-in-law did not know etiquette. She picked up the teacup and drank it all without thinking. Shen Tianci did not think too much about it, nor did he notice the unusual gazes from Second Madam and He Ruhuan when he drank the tea.
However, Xiaoxiao was watching. She used the teacup as a cover and looked at one end and the other.
Coincidentally, the cup that was supposed to be given to Shen Tianci happened to be in He Ruhuan’s hands.
After drinking tea, someone suddenly came to report that there was a situation with Old Madam and asked the madams to take a look. Second Madam pulled Mrs. Shen and Xiaoxiao over and chased after them in panic. However, when Shen Tianci was about to follow them, she waved her hand. “Don’t go with us, child. Wait for our news here.”
Shen Tianci’s surprised gaze landed on Xiaoxiao. Second Madam said, “Miss Nmg is different. Perhaps Doctor Gongsun even needs her help.” With that, she pulled Shen Tianci away without waiting for Shen Tianci to react.
Miraculously, Second Madam lost the servant not long after she chased after him. When she arrived at Old Madam’s place, she was told that no one was calling for her. Second Madam covered her lips with a handkerchief and spat. “Let me know which bastard is spouting nonsense. I’ll skin him alive!”
Mrs. Shen’s face darkened. She turned around, picked up her skirt, and rushed back to the place where she had rested just now. Second Madam said, “Sister, don t be anxious. Just go back slowly.” However, she couldn’t help but look smug.
Whafs done is done. Let’s see how you can refuse.
Xiaoxiao shook her head repeatedly, her heart filled with gossip. She wondered if Second Madam was helping He Ruhuan or harming her.
Second Madam did not stop Xiaoxiao. When they went over together, she even called for some servants. Xiaoxiao guessed that she wanted to find some witnesses for He Ruhuan.
Xiaoxiao watched coldly and sighed that the heavens could be forgiven for their sins, but they could not live from their own sins.
When she was a little closer to Mrs. Shen’s courtyard, Second Madam heard He Ruhuan’s cries. She was overjoyed-it was done! She immediately quickened her pace. “What’s going on? Hurry up and go in to take a look!”
Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry. When she walked into the courtyard, she saw a group of servants gathered under the parasol tree. Shen Tianci sat among the branches and crossed his legs. “I’m not going down. It’s cool here. I’ll stay here.”
Looking inside, there was a big hole in the door. He Ruhuan was crying inside.
The servant of the Shen Family went forward and said, “After Madam left, Miss Cousin suddenly… something’s wrong. Someone locked the door and we’re not able to push it open.”
Mrs. Shen’s face darkened. “Where were you at that time?”
The servant lowered his head. “We’re outside the door. We were about to knock the door open, but before we could do anything, Young Master smashed the door and ran out to climb the tree. His actions were so fast that we didn’t have time to do anything. Hence, we guarded under the tree and didn’t let anyone approach. It also proved that no matter what Miss Cousin did, it had nothing to dowithourYoung Master.”
Mrs. Shen walked to the door and saw that Miss He Ruhuan was tearing off her clothes with an intoxicated expression.
Mrs. Shen felt a torrent of anger rush to her head. She knew that Second Madam wanted her niece to marry into the Shen Family, but she did not expect her methods to be so unorthodox. After all, she was a girl raised by a rich family. How could she be more shameless than a despicable person in the market?
“Someone, wake Miss Cousin up.”
He Ruhuan, who was in a special state, suddenly woke up when she was drenched in a bucket of cold water. She met pairs of unreadable eyes and trembled as she cried.
“C-Cousin, he…”
Mrs. Shen smashed a vase. “I advise you to think carefully before you speak.”
Second Madam arrived late after asking. Before she could speak, she was slapped mercilessly by Mrs. Shen.
Second Madam was stunned by the slap. Mrs. Shen was not appeased. She grabbed her collar and scolded, “He Qiaoqiao, I usually won’t argue with you on account of my second brother. Don’t cross the line just because I give you some face. Let me tell you openly that my Tianci doesn’t like someone like your niece. If you use such a despicable method to marry her into the Shen Family, do you believe that I’ll sell her off as a lowly concubine the next day after you’ send her over?”
Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded and tried her best to suppress the urge to clap.
With this commotion, Mrs. Shen did not want to stay in this house for a moment longer. She pulled the two children along and left without even saying goodbye. Only when she got into the carriage did she remember that if Xiaoxiao had not changed the teacup by accident, Tianci would have drunk that dirty thing.
She couldn’t help but pat the back of Xiaoxiao’s hand. “You’re really our lucky star.”
Xiaoxiao’s face was innocent as she heard Mrs. Shen say to Shen Tianci, “Your grandfather’s face won’t count from now on. Tianci, if that He girl has the cheek to look for you again in the future, just chase her out. You don’t have to care about your uncle’s face.”
Shen Tianci actually looked like he was eager to try…
Then, Mrs. Shen sighed. “Fortunately, you and Erlang of the Ning Family learned how to climb trees. Otherwise, wouldn’t you be blamed today?”
When Xiaoxiao went home, she also brought a bunch of gifts from Mrs. Shen.
As it concerned their family matters, Xiaoxiao did not say much and only told Second Brother that Mrs. Shen was thanking him for training Shen Tianci to be agile.
Ning Anhui had never thought that teaching tree climbing would earn him tuition fees. He chuckled foolishly for a long time.
The next day, the Li Family specially sent someone to send a thank-you gift and a few heavy banknotes. Xiaoxiao counted them carefully and felt that she was considered a rich woman, so she started to plant trees on the mountain The tree seeds were naturally supplied by the space. As for planting trees, after she showed her wealth, her family agreed to hire someone to do it.
Xiaoxiao’s first consideration was Chen Kuan and Wang He, who had already worked together once. The two of them could endure hardships and were honest and dutiful. Moreover, they were both big and tall. They belonged to the type that could intimidate people just by standing up.
Most importantly, the two sides had already worked together once and were more familiar with the various processes. It would be more convincing for them to lobby the other refugees.
If she was faster, she might give Little Big Brother a surprise when he came back..
