Chapter 464: Chapter 464: The Greedy Miao Cuihua

That woman was crying and pushing Shou Hou out before closing the room door again. The sound of her heartbreaking sobs kept coming from inside.

It was only at this moment that Shou Hou responded, and anxiously approached to knock on the door again, pounding hard.

“Tong! Tong! Listen to me, Tong! Tong!…”

Liu Sisi didn’t watch any further. Instead, she lightly jumped over the courtyard wall and left.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to intervene, but judging from their conversation at the moment, it was already too late to do anything now!

Moreover, Shou Hou was so much older than her. If he could really listen to her, he should have stopped when Di Cheng passed on her words initially, instead of ending up in such a situation now!

Raising her head to look at the sky, the clouds were dense, and the dark clouds seemed to press down on the roof, making it hard to open one’s eyes.

It seemed that the rain wouldn’t stop anytime soon! Braving the cold wind, she headed home. Before she could step into her house, Ms. Gao came over to report.

“Madam, two young wives are in the hall looking for you.”

Which two young wives would be looking for her?

“Oh, I see.”

Liu Sisi casually took off her cloak from her shoulders and handed it, along with the paper umbrella, to Ms. Gao before she lifted the curtain into the hall. She immediately spotted Miao Cuihua, who was happily chatting to herself in the hall. Sitting opposite her was Ms. Xin, whom Liu Sisi had met a few days earlier.

As soon as the two saw Liu Sisi entering, they hurriedly stood up from their seats.

“Sisi! Where have you been? We came to see you today, and we’ve been waiting for you quite a while!”

Miao Cuihua had a loud voice, and she laughed with her eyes nearly closed when she spoke. Comparing her to a woman named Tong, they were truly polar opposites!

Ms. Xin beside her had a moment of embarrassment, but she quickly regained her composure and bowed slightly to Liu Sisi.

“Third Sister-in-law, Ms. Xin pays her respects, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Hearing that Sister-in-law Cuihua was coming to see you, I took the liberty to follow and express my gratitude.” Ms. Xin’s words had double meanings.

Liu Sisi’s eyes flashed with an underlying radiance as she sat down at the main seat and casually signaled the two with a raised hand.

“So it’s both of you coming, truly rare guests. We are all family, no need for such courtesy. Please, sit!” Liu Sisi took the opportunity to say.

Miao Cuihua, who was sitting beside her, was completely oblivious to the undercurrent between the two. She sat down in her chair and picked up a pastry from the serving plate, shoving it into her mouth while gesticulating with her hands.

“Mmm… Sisi! These pastries from your home are so delicious, I haven’t had anything as tasty for a long time… so delicious, delicious!”

She was speaking while still stuffing pastries into her mouth. Seeing that the plate would soon be empty, Liu Sisi gave Ms. Gao a glance. Understanding her signal, Ms. Gao left and quickly returned with more pastries. Seeing the new varieties, Miao Cuihua’s eyes lit up, and she eagerly reached out with both hands, grabbing two pastries with each, and devoured them.

This action made even Ms. Gao look away, unable to bear the sight.

Ms. Xin next to her twitched the corner of her mouth and couldn’t help but cough lightly, “Sister Cuihua, these pastries are indeed delicious, but eating too many might cause indigestion, you…”

“No worries! I just love sweet treats! Eating more of these pastries won’t cause indigestion!”

She completely missed the hidden meaning in Ms. Xin’s words.
