Auntie Wu managed to finish cooking the goat’s milk broth in less than half an hour.
Old Mrs. Wen took a spoonful of it, only to discover that it tasted better than what Mother Zhou used to make. After asking Auntie Wu about it, she found out that Auntie Wu had added some vanilla into the broth, thus getting rid of the overwhelming odor of goat’s milk and making it much more fragrant.
Old Mrs. Wen was greatly pleased with Auntie Wu.
Wen Xinya broke into a smile upon seeing how satisfied Old Mrs. Wen was with Auntie Wu.
There was no better candidate than Auntie Wu who was the daughter of Mother Zhou. Hence, Wen Xinya took advantage of how close Mother Zhou was to the Wen Family. Auntie Wu had done such a great job that Old Mrs. Wen could not pick on her at all.
Seeing how pleased Old Mrs. Wen was with Auntie Wu, Ning Shuqian gritted her teeth in anger, for her meticulously-planned scheme had backfired.
Since the butler had always been in charge of the household matters, Ning Shuqian dared not take matters into her own hands and hire someone without permission. She did not want to offend the butler, for offending him would be worse than offending Mother w.a.n.g.
She had finally found the chance when there was a vacancy for Mother Zhou’s place. Hence, she tried to convince Old Mrs. Went to hire someone else to replace Mother Zhou. Yet, Wen Xinya had foiled her plans.
She initially wanted to use her child as an excuse to hire her follower. However, after seeing how Wen Xinya had glanced at her, she realized that Wen Xinya would not let her have her wishes. She had no choice but to suppress her emotions. She would rather put her plans on hold than let Wen Xinya take advantage of the situation and make Old Mr. Wen doubt her.
Since Auntie Wu was hired by Old Mr. Wen and had gained the approval of Old Mrs. Wen, there was no reason for Ning Shuqian to chase her away.
I’ve belittled Wen Xinya that b.i.t.c.h.
Just as Wen Xinya was about to return to her room, she caught sight of Ning Shuqian standing by the rose jardiniere in the backyard. She had long kept her guard up against Ning Shuqian who had moved back into the Wen Family home after using her pregnancy as an excuse. Hence, she made a conscious effort to keep a distance from Ning Shuqian.
Ning Shuqian stared at Wen Xinya coldly and said, “Xinya, why do you have to be so wary of me? No matter what, I wouldn’t put my baby at risk.”
Ning Shuqian was exceptionally thrilled to see how wary Wen Xinya was towards her.
Wen Xinya said calmly, “We can’t be too sure about that. Aunt Ning, you’re already planning to use your pregnancy to stir trouble in the Wen Family. Is there anything that you won’t dare to do? Maybe… the next thing you’ll do now is to intentionally slip and fall like that day. You’ll then frame me because of it. Or perhaps you might squat down and pretend to have a tummy ache again. Others might just think that I had said something to agitate you.”
“Xinya, what are you talking about?” Ning Shuqian retorted with a look of disdain. She had indeed pretended to feel an ache in her tummy, so as to make Old Mrs. Wen get the wrong idea about Wen Xinya. Although she could not exactly defeat Wen Xinya, she could at least avenge herself.
