Yun Qianliang raised her hand to stop the other party from continuing to evade, ”Finding the person who tried to poison me is also a form of protection, and I'm too lazy to bother with it too. If your boss doesn't look for me, I'm too lazy to go out.”
What Yun Qianliang had said was the truth. The number of times she had married into the Gu Xiangfu could be counted on one hand, and didn't even have much time to leave the Green Pine Academy. From the bottom of her heart, she was extremely annoyed by the mess in the backyard, and was extremely reluctant to go out and fight with the group of girls.
”This subordinate has to keep at least one of them.” The two of them discussed and came to a conclusion.
”Forget it, keep a close eye on Xiao Cui.” Yun Qianliang made the final decision.
If Wen Meng wanted to harm her, she would definitely not personally buy poison to kill her. After the matter of Xiao Cui's hand being exposed, she would be able to blame it all on Xiao Cui, and even if she send people to watch over her, they would not be able to find evidence that she bought the poison. However, she was afraid that Wen Meng might play some tricks, and ended up borrowing the blade that others borrowed.
After the two of them left, Gu Shisan stayed behind to continue monitoring and protecting them. The shorter Gu Shisi stayed behind to follow and protect Xiao Cui.
When Shui Qin carried the broken pieces back to the kitchen, she saw Xiao Cui chatting with the steward outside. The two of them were standing in the sun, talking and laughing while chewing the melon seeds.
From a distance, Xiao Cui saw Shui Qin walk back with reddened eyes and a broken porcelain cup on a tray in his hands. Her heart skipped a beat and he immediately put away the melon seeds.
”Shui Qin, what's wrong with you?” As she said that, Xiao Cui helped her carry the tray, ”Come, give it to me, I'll clean it up for you.”
Shui Qin subconsciously wanted to resist when she saw Xiao Cui, but when she remembered Madam Ye's instructions, she didn't dare to show it too clearly. She slurped her lips and said: ”It's better not to, if Madam finds out, you must punish me.”
Auntie Liu, who was in charge of the kitchen, walked over with the melon seeds in her mouth. Her forehead was red. ”How did you offend that madam?”
”When this servant was delivering the lotus seed soup to Madam, a black cat coincidentally scurried over. I accidentally spilled the lotus seed soup on her, so Madam …” Shui Qin said as tears streamed down her face. Other people might have thought that she had been scolded and wronged, but they didn't know that she was afraid.
If it was like usual, when Madam ate the lotus seed soup, even if she had hundreds of mouths, she still wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
Xiao Cui's heart tensed up, ”That black cat didn't eat the lotus seed soup did it?”
”I threw the tray at him, probably because I was frightened and ran away.” Shui Qin wiped his tears off and walked into the kitchen listlessly to clean everything up.
Xiao Cui comforted Shui Qin a little and then left the kitchen with the warm tonifying soup.
Xiao Cui returned to Hibiscus Courtyard, placed the tonifying soup on the table, and chased away the servants in the house to report to Wen Meng.
”Miss, it didn't work.” Xiao Cui whispered into Wen Meng's ear.
”Did she notice?” Wen Meng frowned, holding the kernels, he had already thought of a way out.
”No, it's all the fault of a black cat that spilled the lotus seed soup.” Xiao Cui looked at the door vigilantly to prevent any servants from barging in unwittingly.
”Nothing at all?” Wen Meng confirmed again.
Xiao Cui shook her head, ”No, Shui Qin cleaned up and cleaned up all the lotus seed soup, and threw away all the fragments after washing up.”
Wen Meng heaved a sigh of relief, but started to blame the servant, ”If I can't even do such a small thing, what's the use of you?”
Xiao Cui lifted her skirt and knelt down, she anxiously promised, ”Don't worry Miss, Xiao Cui will definitely make sure everything works out for you.”
