Number One Scholar's Spicy Wife

  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 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've 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 inwardly. Is this the conspiracy 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 more, after we've met with the Zhao family, we'll talk again when we get back." Xie Wenjing 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 is for myself, who cares 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 had fallen ill and brought some fine medicine to visit her, but she seemed to be in good health and didn't even bother to acknowledge his presence. Even when he rushed to her courtyard, he was still ignored by her.

  "Brother Zhao, my elder sister is really pitiful. My uncle has been ill for two years, and after she recovered from her illness, all she can think about is my uncle. Just now I smelled the medicinal scent on my elder sister's clothes, probably because she got it on her when feeding medicine to my uncle. My elder sister's filial piety is touching, hoping to move heaven and earth to make my uncle 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, knowing clearly about the situation of her family coming 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 her, 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 mistress, you're back. Hurry up and change your clothes, do your hair. That Zhao family is really something, suddenly coming over to visit without even giving us a heads up, no chance for us to prepare. And that young master of the Zhao family, actually daring to step into your courtyard, even though he was carrying those medicinal herbs, it's still not proper! Luckily I didn't let him into your room, otherwise, if people found out, wouldn't they say you're being too forward?"

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

  "You three are the closest people to me, don't talk too much, listen more, look more, and you will know the truth of things, and also know how to speak in the future. I'm telling you, about the matter of Zhao's family coming, I heard it from Wen Ting, my fourth sister, yesterday, she heard it from our cousin Pei Ye Zhen. But grandma didn't tell us to make any preparations, even this morning, when I was going to take Zhi Hua and Mei Lan to see my father, grandma didn't say anything. Maybe grandma forgot, but you three don't mention Zhao's family again, I'm telling you this because you are the closest people to me, can accompany me for a lifetime, and will never betray me."

  Xie Wenjing suddenly stared heavily at these three relatives of hers.

  They never betrayed themselves or looked down on themselves in their past lives, even if they died and their bodies were destroyed, they never gave up on themselves.

  In this life, if I want to take revenge and defeat that old woman, it's impossible for me to do it alone. I must have help, and they are the closest people to me. As soon as I show any abnormality, they will notice it. It's better to let them discover my grandmother's sinister intentions earlier.

  "What? Young mistress, forgive me for speaking out of turn, but if it's really like that, the old madam might have misgivings about this marriage. Does she want to marry that cousin miss to the future young master instead? You must make a good impression when you meet the Zhao family. This marriage cannot be ruined, or not only will your reputation be tarnished, but your family will also be ridiculed. In the future, it will be even harder to find a good husband."

  Nanny Du was an old hand, and after a moment's pause, she immediately grasped the key point. Just now, that Miss Bao had been so enthusiastic about bringing over her future son-in-law, could it be that this was all arranged by Old Lady?

  Could it be that Old Madam, out of sympathy for Tiantian, would actually break off the engagement between the eldest young miss and her fiancé?

  "Miss, what should we do? What if Old Madam did it on purpose? Should we go tell Master and Madame about it?"

  Mei Lan also figured it out, this time the young lady would be caught off guard by Zhao's family visitor, and it was very likely that the old lady had instructed her to do so. This wouldn't do, she had to tell Master and Mistress about it. But Master's health wasn't good! What to do?

  "Don't rush, don't show it on your face, or you'll be discovered and I'll be in even more trouble. Father's health is poor, Mother has to take care of him, and Grandma is still in charge at home. If that Zhao family had any sense of responsibility, they wouldn't have easily backed out of the engagement just because I was a bit slow once or twice. Don't worry about it. I'm telling you this so you know that even though we seem to be living comfortably, there are actually dangers lurking everywhere, and if we want to live well, we have to rely on ourselves. None of you are allowed to breathe a word about this to anyone, not even Mother. If someone does, I'll consider them an enemy, no longer one of us! Do you all understand what I'm saying?"
