Chapter 11 Anxiety

  After what just happened, Cai Wei was somewhat stunned. When she heard Li Mama suddenly shift the conversation to herself, she couldn't help but be slightly dazed. After a while, she spoke in a low voice: "At this time, Fifth Master should be with Sixth Master."

  Li's mother smiled and praised, "I just heard someone mention that the fifth young master looks very similar to the sixth young master. I was thinking it would be great if I could see him with my own eyes."

  "Huh?" Xie Shu Ning leaned against the back of Fang Sheng Yun's chair, uttering a curious "huh" sound, playing with her own fingers as she said, "If Li Mama wants to see Gege, then let Cai Wei Jie take her there, it'll also be convenient for me to have someone snoop out what Li Mama is capable of doing."

  Carnation heard this and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, her whole body trembling.

  She could wait until she calmed down and went to look again, but found that Xie Shu Ning was staring at her with a pair of big black and white eyes, with a pure face. Plus she was born white and plump, with a pink and chubby face, looking like a Fuwa doll in a painting, where was the weirdness, it was all pure and innocent.

  After a few glances, the heart that had inexplicably risen in Violet's chest fell back down again.

  "Guī māma ordered the slave to accompany the young lady here." She thought for a moment, then said, "If Lǐ māma wants to see the young master, she will be able to see him sooner or later, there's no need to rush at this moment."

  When she finished speaking, Mrs. Li couldn't help but take a good look at Violet.

  Xie Shuning raised her arms and stretched, saying in a lazy tone: "I don't need you to accompany me."

  "Miss is being stubborn again." Camellia smiled wryly.

  Peony entered the Song family at the age of seven and initially followed Gui Mama to serve in the Song's house. Until she was eleven years old, Xie Shu Ning and his younger sister were born, and because she looked good and was liked by the Song family, she was assigned to Xie Shu Ning's side. She stayed there for more than four years.

  She also watched Xie Shu Ning grow up.

  This young lady's temperament is also well understood by her family. However, today for some reason, she feels an inexplicable strangeness.

  It's still the same person, but somehow it seems different. Rose thought of the low voice she had just heard and subconsciously looked up at Mrs. Li.

  They just entered the Xie family today, how could they possibly know someone from the Xie family?

  But why did the young lady already know who she was before Mrs. Li had a chance to speak up?

  Camellia thought and thought, and felt her white hair was all sweaty!

  She lowered her head and quickly walked to the northwest corner of the fire pit, picked up a nearby fire tongs and carefully stirred it, using this to cover up the panic in her heart.

  Little did she know, Xie Shu Ning was also quietly sizing her up at the same time she desperately wanted to forget what had just happened.

  As one gets older, their memory often deteriorates. However, there are some things in life that no matter how hard you try to forget, you just can't. For Xie Jun Ning, Li Mama is one of them. And so is Rose.

  In fact, Xie Shuning had only been in Tianzhuang for two years.

  But these two years seemed even more endless and terrifying than many of her later years combined.

  At that time, among the people who followed her to Tianzhuang, besides Li's mother, there was also a Qiwei. Li's mother turned against her mercilessly, but she was originally Chen's person, and doing so was detestable but not unreasonable. However, what about Qiwei?

  Xie Shu Ning remembered that Gui Mama had said that Xun Er was a child picked up from outside by her mother.

  The Song family has always been generous to their servants, and Cuiwei was even raised by Gui's mother as her own daughter, and in her mother's eyes, she is not an ordinary maid.

  She gave a cold glance at Xiangyun, who was crouched down fiddling with the charcoal, and thought to herself: in terms of clothes and jewelry, which item is not comparable to those worn by young ladies from other families? The Song family is not short of money, so silk, satin, and brocade - what has Xiangyun never used or worn before?

  She's supposed to be a maid, but she doesn't look like one at all!

  A mouthful of bad air was stuck in her chest cavity, Xie Suning tried to hold it back, but still felt a surge of emotions.

  The carnation called sister by her had turned against her even earlier than Li's mother in their past life!

  So she hated Li's mother, but she hated Qiangwei even more!

  Even when she scratched Xie Shumin's forehead at first, it was Qiangwei who accompanied her.

  Some things she couldn't see clearly back then, but now they all seem incredibly superficial and easy to understand.

  "Rose sister, where is my Mengmeng?" Xie Shuning blinked and asked suddenly.

  Camellia straightened her waist and turned around, saying: "Guimu had picked it up earlier, does Miss want to see Mengmeng now?"

  "Uh-huh, I want it!" Xie Shuning said firmly.

  Camellia hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and then said to Mrs. Li: "Let's have Mrs. Li accompany the young lady for a while, I'll be right back."

  Mrs. Li listened to the two of them, confused, and at this moment, she simply nodded when Xiang Wei said so. It wasn't until Xiang Wei lifted up the windscreen and left the eastern wing that Mrs. Li curiously spoke up to Xie Shu Ning: "Eighth Miss, what is Dream?"

  "Meng Meng... it's just Meng Meng." Xie Shuning said casually.

  She really is Dreamy.

  Mengmeng is actually just a plush toy. Blue body, round head, and two short arms, without even one finger on them. On the white face there is a huge mouth, with long whiskers embroidered around it in black thread. And with a big pocket sewn on its front, it really doesn't look good at all.

  But this was made by Uncle himself and given to her and her brother.

  Her brother's name is DuoDuo, and her name is MengMeng.

  Uncle said, other people's children all play with cloth tigers, our children should play with something different. He also said that Duo Duo and Meng Meng are dolls with magic, their cloth pockets are treasure bags, everything is available...

  Naturally, these words sounded like mere child's play to Xie Shu Ning after she grew up.

  At that time, the one who accompanied her through those desperate days was only Meng Meng.

  So she was indeed thinking of it at this moment.

  "Miss Eighth, put on your cloak first, don't catch a chill." Li Mama saw her sitting there and cleverly fetched a thick cloak from the side to wrap around her, saying, "I heard that you and Fifth Master were originally in Yanling, and there weren't any other children in the manor. Now it's great, you've returned home and it's lively again. Although our three branches only have one Fourth Master, but the main house and second house on the other side of the wall are both prosperous with many people. From now on, you can play together with your sisters, isn't that wonderful?"

  The Fourth Young Master of the Three Houses...

  Xie Shu Ning fiddled with the buttons on her front, lowered her eyes and said, "I only play with brother, that's enough."

  "The fourth young master has a steady temperament and is also extremely kind, Eighth Miss will definitely like him when the time comes. After all, they are siblings, isn't Fourth Young Master also your brother?" Li Mama's tone gradually became more cunning, speaking as if she didn't regard her as a child, it was unclear whether she really wanted to say these words to her or wanted her to listen and then pass them on to Song Shi.

  Xie Shu Ning just smiled and didn't say anything.

  The fourth young master of the Third House, Xie Chen, was a child adopted from a collateral branch of the Xie family's ancestral home by the Chen family.

  Thanks for the reward from Elder Sister Wan'er and An Ning~
