Volume 1 Chapter 13 Pretend I Don't Know Anything

  Even if the daughter's thoughts are meticulous, after all, she is just a child, can she win over that cunning and ruthless old woman?

  That old woman only needs to move her mouth slightly to frame her daughter and ruin her reputation. No, she can't let the child be framed by that old woman like this.

  "Wenjing, take care of your little brother, just pretend you don't know anything, as long as you two are fine, Dad is willing."

  Finally, Xie Chengyu still wrote out his own decision.

  Xie Wenjing was taken aback, and suddenly tears streamed down her face. Dad! You're so worried about me and my brother that you're willing to trade your life for our safety.

  But Father, you don't know that even if you compromise like this, that cruel and vicious old woman will not let go of all the children left by Grandma, she won't let any one of them go!

  Dad, did your previous life already know that old woman's cruelty? You watched with open eyes as your daughter obstinately trusted and got close to that woman, only to have your heart severely hurt by her?

  Dad, this life, I've been reborn once, and I will definitely cherish your and mom's kindness. I'm going to fight that woman, but I won't be stupid enough to directly confront her and tear her apart. I'll plan it out carefully. Dad, just wait, as long as you know I'll be changing your medicine for the next few days, just cooperate with me.

  "Miss, you'd better go back. Wang the steward says that Old Madam has sent someone to look for you! I'll take good care of Old Master, don't worry. Don't keep Old Madam waiting!"

  Just as the father and daughter were quietly communicating with each other by hand, Liu Lingling suddenly approached Xie Wenjing's side with light steps.

  Xie Wenjing held her father's hand, stiffening slightly. She knew she had to leave now. The Zhao family must have been waiting for a long time already?

  Xie Wenjing gently put her father's hand into the quilt, looked at him with a pained expression, and resolutely left. She was going to save her father, but before saving him, she had to change his medicine first and also save some money. She thought of a way to distract that old woman's attention first. It would be best to splash dirty water on her, wasn't she always proud of her good reputation?

  "It's hard on Liu Niang, Father has taken a nap, you should rest for a while when you have nothing to do, take care of your spirit and don't exhaust yourself, I'm going to see Grandmother!"

  Xie Wenjing gently and softly spoke to the gentle Liu Lingling, her words not only numbing Liu Lingling but also making it clear to Father that she was not foolish, enemies would disguise themselves, and daughters would also disguise themselves. Letting Father believe in herself, she could help him.

  As expected, Xie Wenjing's words not only satisfied Liu Lingling but also left Xie Chengyu in astonishment.

  Daughter is not only thoughtful, but also conceals her expression. Facing the woman she dislikes, she can actually smile so gently. What kind of daughter has grown up like this?

  Xie Wenjing left when she saw her mother still sleeping, so far, the old woman deliberately concealed the news of Zhao's family coming, even her mother didn't know.

  It's better not to know, just let Zhao's family be indifferent and make them disgusted with their own family!

  Xie Wenjing took Zhihua and Meilan out of the bamboo garden, and soon they saw Li Ayi running towards them on the cobblestone path.

  "My young lady, hurry back and dress up, the Zhao family has sent someone to see you. After you're dressed, come to the main courtyard to meet your grandmother!"

  Mrs. Li looked anxious and flustered, her voice loud and urgent, as if intentionally letting more people know that she was being slow to take care of her husband's family.

  Xie Wenjing sneered in her heart, was this the conspiracy that her grandmother and her subordinates were playing? To make herself unknowingly lose the favor of the Zhao family?

  Pah! None of you are good people!

  "Is that so? Li Niangniang, you go back and tell Grandma first, I'll change my clothes and come over." Xie Wenjing cooperated very well, softly answering Li Niangniang before leading the two bewildered maids towards her own courtyard.

  "Miss, why did the Zhao family come so suddenly? They should have sent us a notice first to prepare!"

  Zhi Hua directly asked out her own doubts.

  "Don't say much, after we've met with the Zhao family, we'll talk about it when we get back." Xie Wenyin instructed Zhihua and Meilan.

  Just as the three were about to enter Xie Wenjing's pomegranate garden, they happened to meet their cousin bringing Zhao Qiusheng out of her own pomegranate garden.

  "Sister, where have you been? Brother Zhao has come to see you! Brother Zhao has brought a lot of good medicine for you to take and recover your body!"

  Her nine-year-old cousin's soft and sweet voice, with a look of excitement on behalf of her elder sister.

  She knew that old woman would give her beloved granddaughter the opportunity to get close to this young man Zhao Qiusheng, and let Zhao Qiusheng dislike herself since childhood, but like this cousin.

  "Thanks for seeing me off, Sister-in-law. Grandmother asked me to go back and tidy up before going to the main hall. Goodbye, Master Zhao!"

  Xie Wenjing saw this handsome and unmarried fiancé who was ruthless and unrighteous to herself again, her heart was calm and unruffled. Such a man could be given to her cousin, she no longer looked down on him now.

  "Big sister, are you from Bamboo Garden? Is big uncle's body better?"

  Cousin sister has a clever expression as if she is explaining on behalf of Xie Wenjing.

  "Uh-huh."

  Xie Wenjing's eyebrows slightly furrowed, showing her concern for her father, then she ignored the couple and led Zhihua Meilan back to her own courtyard.

  This life of mine, what does it matter how the Zhao family looks at me? Let them look however they want! This lifetime, I won't serve these heartless and ruthless people anymore!

  Zhao Qiusheng was met with a cold demeanor by Xie Wenjing, which made him feel displeased. He heard that she was ill and brought some high-quality medicine to visit her, but she seemed fine and didn't even bother to acknowledge him. Even when he rushed to her courtyard, he was ignored by her.

  "Brother Zhao, my elder sister is really pitiful. My elder uncle has been ill for two years, and after my elder sister recovered from her illness, she's been worried about her elder uncle all the time."

  I just smelled the medicine smell on my elder sister's clothes, it should have been stained when she fed her brother-in-law medicine. My elder sister is so kind-hearted, hoping to move heaven and earth to make her brother-in-law recover soon.

  Bai Ye Zhu said according to what her grandmother had taught her, and after she finished speaking, Zhao Ge looked at her with such a gentle gaze!

  At this time, Zhao Qiusheng drew a conclusion from the girl's words, that is, his fiancée, who clearly knew about her family's situation today, didn't take it seriously and even belittled his mother under the pretext of serving her father.

  What's even more infuriating is that Xie Wenjing, relying on her status as the eldest daughter of the Xie family, looks down on this kind-hearted cousin, and it can be seen that this young lady is just an arrogant one.

  "Let's go, to the main hall!"

  Zhao Qiusheng spoke warmly to Miss Biao, who was enthusiastically introducing and showing him around.

  From Miss Biao's words, it can be seen that this porcelain-like girl, although having lost her father, is still lively and enthusiastic. Although she is living under someone else's roof, she still has the demeanor of a noble lady.

  What's most precious is her kind heart. Knowing that her elder sister who doesn't get along with her is being cold to herself, she still deliberately explains and covers up for her.

  Xie Wenjing, who just left, has the proud air of a rich young lady, and she is even proud of herself, it can be seen that she will become what kind of proud person in daily life!

  "My miss, you're back. Hurry up and change your clothes, do your hair. That Zhao family is really something, coming over to visit without warning, not even giving us a heads up so we can prepare."

  And that young master Zhao, actually dared to step into your courtyard, although he was carrying those medicinal herbs, but it's still not proper! Fortunately, I didn't let him enter your house, otherwise, if people found out, wouldn't they say you're promiscuous?

  Wet nurse Du closed the door and changed Xie Wenjing's clothes while scolding the Zhao family.
