Chapter Eighteen: Take Action

  Xiao Min just paid attention to the situation over there, indeed, she herself was ugly and had nothing to complain about, it's just that the big pancake face was clearly sarcastic towards Xiao Ruo Xue, but it was just pulling herself down.

  Always calm and unruffled, Xiao Min met the gaze of the crowd with equanimity.

  "What's your name?" Finally, as if meeting a rival, Xiao Ruoxue narrowed her eyes and looked at the woman beside Lin Chujiu with interest.

  "Hehe, I'm Lin Chujiu, and she's naturally Lin Chushi!" Lin Chujiu said with annoyance. Her parents not only didn't give her a good face, but even her name seemed like it belonged to a boy, unlike the little sister who was picked up half a year ago and stood beside her?

  "Shut up, no one asked you!" Xiao Ruoxue scolded, slapping her face in front of everyone.

  "You——!" Lin Chujiu couldn't get along with this woman every time they met, and he immediately glared at the weak woman who seemed to be on the verge of tears whenever she was scolded. This woman, whom he had picked up, needed more protection than himself in front of his parents' friends. Every time he saw her soft and weak appearance, Lin Chujiu felt inexplicably annoyed.

  "Speak up!" She had no outlet for her anger, so she was used to venting all her rage on what seemed like a weak body. The vicious tone made that already frail body tremble!

  That beautiful woman's nose wrinkled in distress, but she still didn't shed a tear. Her voice was slightly hoarse, and although her appearance wasn't particularly well-groomed, it didn't lose to Xiao Ruoxue. At this moment, her teary-eyed look made people feel even more sympathetic. She turned to Xiao Ruoxue with poise and said, "My humble name is Lin Ruoxi!" Although her voice was a bit hoarse, it had an even more unique charm.

  This attracted the attention of those young masters beside, who all gazed over with their eyes shining brightly, seeing how fragile the woman looked, they all wanted to take her into their arms and protect her thoroughly.

  "Oh, Lin Ruoxi?" After a moment, it seemed like she understood something. "Ruoxi, my name is Ruoxue. We both have 'ruo' in our names!" Her voice was neither warm nor cold, and at this moment, it was unclear what she was thinking.

  "Heh heh, yeah, isn't my sister great?" Lin Chujiu finally found the opportunity to strike at Xiao Ruoxue and couldn't help but say with a pleased tone.

  "Shut up!" Her eyes were cold and frosty, and her gaze finally returned to Lin Ruoxue, not even glancing at the pale-faced Lin Chujiu beside her.

  "A good name, but gold on the outside and dross within." Xiao Ruo Xue said lightly, turning to look at Xiao Min with disdain.

  "You—!" His face red with rage, Lin Chujiu glared furiously at Xiao Ruoxue, rolling up his sleeves as if ready to strike!

  Everyone's eyes gathered here, looking at Lin Chujiu's big pancake face, shaking their heads straight, as if they were all discussing how this girl was so arrogant and competitive, who would dare to want her in the future?

  Lin Chunjiu also felt that he was somewhat out of place, and immediately withdrew his hand, shaking his sleeve, and scolded the weak woman beside him: "Don't you leave yet!"

  The weak Lin Ruoxue was startled, her shoulders twitched, and she didn't dare to disobey in the slightest. She lifted her feet and followed him out.

  Lin Ruoxi's eyes seemed to be searching for someone in the crowd, her gaze drifting towards another handsome figure.

  Xiao Min did not miss this deeply affectionate glance, and at the same time was somewhat curious. Following Lin Ruoxi's gaze, she saw that it was none other than Li Junshu, the young master of the Shangshu Mansion, a refined and elegant man like jade.

  Looking at Li Junshu's gentle face, Xiao Min suddenly felt a pang in her heart!

  A pang of pain flashed by, yet it felt so real? I couldn't help but take another look at that man.

  The next day

  Xiao Min, after a period of rest, felt that her body had recovered somewhat over the past few days. Today, she quietly strolled in the garden.

  At some point, someone walked up behind her, and it was none other than Lin Suwen, the so-called "Big Madam" of the village.

  When Xiao Min followed Lin Suwan to her separate courtyard, she saw that everything was carefully cultivated flowers and grasses, and the houses were well-maintained. This place was in stark contrast to Yueliang's simple wooden hut.

  Lin Suwen looked at the woman in front of her who still showed no change "What? Have you forgotten about me, your husband?" The deep and cold voice couldn't reveal any emotions.

  Xiao Min knew this day would eventually come, but didn't expect it to arrive so soon?

  This woman couldn't hold it in anymore? She raised her head, meeting Lin Suwen's somewhat inquiring gaze with a calm expression.

  She didn't know what kind of situation it was now, and what kind of reward could make the original owner of her body agree to this fox-like woman in front of her?

  "My wife's great kindness, how can I, Xiao Min, dare to forget it easily?" Xiao Min lowered his head, trying not to let the woman see his eyes. But in his heart, he was secretly thinking.

  "Hmph, don't dare forget what's best!" The cold voice was low but stern and commanding.

  "Madam saw that you've been living quite comfortably these days and thought you'd already forgotten, huh?" She seemed unwilling to give up and added another sentence.

  Lin Suwen's inquiring gaze fell on the woman opposite her, a pair of phoenix eyes that shone like stars in the dark night, leaving no room for concealment.

  Xiao Min raised her head and looked straight at Lin Suwan, calm and composed, without a hint of panic.

  "Xiao Min dare not!" Simple words, but they already reveal her true feelings. At this moment, Xiao Min thinks to herself that if she wanted to harm Yuenuang, she wouldn't be able to do it anyway. What's more puzzling is what exactly did she agree to with her?

  "Has she already gained that woman's trust?" Lin Suwen asked with a hint of skepticism after a moment.

  She had originally planned to take advantage of everyone's indifference towards that woman, casually find someone to make her disappear forever from this world, and then she could sit in the right position. However, things seemed to have gotten out of her control?

  "Hmm!" Xiao Min always remembered that saying less is wronging less!

  "Has she taken all the medicine I gave you last time?" Lin Suwen hesitated, but was pulled back to reality by Xiao Min's response. Seeing that woman so energetic and lively every day, could it be that the medicine had expired? But that didn't seem very likely either.

  "Hmm!" Xiao Min replied.

  After a moment's thought, Lin Suwan seemed to be at a loss for what to do, and immediately said in a low voice, "Things have changed, we must make new plans!" She deeply understood why the servants and maids in the mansion directly called her Madame, and Master didn't stop them. The most important thing wasn't about Master's attitude, but whether that woman wanted all this or not!

  If things go well from now on, won't Master's thoughts still be entirely focused on her?

  Thinking of those high-ranking officials and nobles from the past, they didn't even put themselves in their sights, let alone someone coming to take them away in this palace? If things continue like this, their position won't be secure, and all these years of hard work will be handed over to others.

  Thinking of it, he took out another small package from his bosom!

  "Are you going to give her all the medicine? If there's no effect in three days, don't blame me for not warning you?" The cold voice seemed to be filled with intense jealousy.
