Then, she looked at Xiaoxiao and her siblings. “Don’t listen to Tianci’s nonsense. We have a good relationship with the Fragrance Restaurant. They’re also the ones who are holding a banquet for Tianci today.”
She pushed her son out. “You’re the host today. Stop lazing around here. Go greet the guests!”
He Ruhuan went to socialize with the young ladies. When she returned, she saw Xiaoxiao beside Mrs. Shen, chatting happily with her. She could feel her nails pinching her palm. She did not use her identity as Shen Tianci’s cousin to push away the other little vixens who wanted to get close to her aunt to make room for this country bumpkin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis village girl was indeed ambitious. She knew that if she wanted to gain her cousin’s favor, she had to please her aunt first. However, with her, He Ruhuan, around, would she give that village girl such a chance?
In front of Mrs. Shen, she couldn’t flare up. She could only pretend to be innocent and ask, “Auntie knows this girl too? Ruhuan made Cousin angry because of this girl just now. I wonder if Cousin has calmed down.”
As expected, Mrs. Shen asked, “Tianci is angry? What happened?”
He Ruhuan sighed and was about to put on a show of complaining when she heard Xiaoxiao say casually, “Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just that this lady treats me as a maidservant and wants me to help her. Shen Tianci feels that she should apologize.”
He Ruhuan secretly looked at Mrs. Shen’s unhappy expression and mocked this country girl in her heart for making two mistakes. Firstly, she shouldn’t have called her cousin by his name in front of her aunt. Secondly, she didn’t consider her own weight before complaining. She was the Shen Family’s cousin. What was this village girl? Did she expect her aunt to speak up for her?
She deliberately sighed and said aggrievedly, “1 just happened to see her getting close to Cousin and thought that she was a maidservant arranged by Auntie. I wanted to ask her to help put away the paper kite. Who knew that Cousin would care so much…”
Aunt hated those people who had ill intentions towards her cousin the most. She did not believe that this village girl would end up well!
Just as she was waiting smugly for her aunt to flare up, she heard an unknown voice. “Have you apologized?”
He Ruhuan pointed at herself in disbelief. She couldn’t come back to her senses until Mrs. Shen nodded. Under everyone’s gaze, she felt embarrassed even if Mrs. Shen didn’t speak loudly.
She was just a village girl. What right did she have?! Could it be that Auntie really liked her and planned to let her be Cousin’s concubine?
The more He Ruhuan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She was so angry that she wanted to cry. However, in order to protect her image in front of her aunt, she could only grit her teeth and bow. “Auntie is right. Ruhuan is rash.”
This was the first time Xiaoxiao had seen such an insincere apology, but she did not mind. She nodded to show that she had received it and continued to talk to Mrs. Shen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMrs. Shen was still thinking about the crystal jelly she had eaten last time. When she found out that Xiaoxiao had brought Shen Tianci new delicious food today, but that stinky son did not bring it to show his filial piety to his mother first, she could not sit still and wanted to settle the score with him angrily.
At this moment, He Ruhuan, who had lost face, had already walked out of the crowd. She asked the maidservant in front of her, “Are you saying that Ning Xiaoxiao is the farm girl Shopkeeper Xu wrote to say that she wants to cooperate with?”
The maidservant knelt down and said, “Yes. She was also the one who sold sour bamboo shoots not long ago.”
He Ruhuan wiped her sweaty face with a handkerchief. “A mere farmer dares to talk about ‘cooperation’ with our family? If it weren’t for us, her family would still be digging in the soil. She actually has the cheek to negotiate terms.”
He Ruhuan’s eyes were filled with disdain. “Fortunately, this letter is in Aunt’s hands. Otherwise, if Cousin Li saw it, he would be kind enough to help these poor people again.”
The maidservant looked up timidly. “Miss, you mean…”
He Ruhuan put away the handkerchief. “Call Shopkeeper Xu over..”
