However, the silence did not last long.
When Ms. Lu barged into Xie Qiao’s courtyard, she saw her reclining on the chair with her eyes closed.
Under the sunlight, she was so fair that she seemed to be shining. She looked as if she could transform into an immortal any time.
Ms. Lu felt extremely uncomfortable.
Earlier, she had been told that Xie Qiao was sick. Now, did she not look fine?!
She had the time to bask in the sun, but she did not have the time to see her mother?
“Qiao!” Ms. Lu raised her voice.
Granny Wan immediately stood in front of her, “Madam, young miss is resting. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later!”
“Impudent! Why don’t you know the rules at all?! Is Madam someone you can stop?!” Steward Yuan immediately berated her, “Hurry up and leave, or I’ll immediately sell you away!”
Ms. Lu also hated this old woman. Now that Steward Yuan had said it, she was relieved and felt much better.
Granny Wan laughed, “I do have a contract to sell myself, but it’s in the hands of the young miss. Nobody else has the right to sell me!”
She was a servant, but she was Xie Qiao’s servant.
When Granny Wan and Chun Er were in trouble, the young miss had said that all they had to do was to obey her when she bought them. Other people, especially those whom the young miss did not like, they could ignore them!
Ms. Lu’s face was cold, “Qiao, I have something to talk to you about. Are you going to let a servant treat me so poorly?”
Xie Qiao opened her eyes slightly and said lazily, “Mother is here? I’m not feeling well. Let’s talk about it later.”
Her attitude was the same as Granny Wan’s.
Ms. Lu felt embarrassed.
It was the first time she had entered this courtyard, and this was how she was treated?!
Not only did they not even offer her a cup of tea, they even chased her out!
Was there anyone who had ever treated her like this before?
Fortunately, it was not her who gave birth to this child. If this was her child, she would have strangled her when she was still a baby!
Naturally, Ms. Lu refused to leave, she said directly from where she stood, “I heard that Pinggang sent people to bring the Lin family over?! Do you know about this matter? I’ve raised Huai and Xi’er for so many years. Even if I didn’t contribute much, I worked hard nevertheless. If they were to bring the Lin family over, what would I be? What will these two children think of me in the future?”
“Granny Wan, get someone to go to the criminal division and get my Brother home,” Xie Qiao said indifferently.
When Ms. Lu heard that, she was immediately enraged, “Don’t you dare go!”
As she spoke, she had someone block the door.
Xie Qiao then sat up straight and looked at her coldly, “Are you behaving domineeringly in my courtyard? Didn’t Father tell you what you shouldn’t do?”
She was like a porcelain doll. Her fair and tender face as well as her deep gaze made her look like a soulless walking corpse. Her tone was eerie and frightening.
“Who talks like that?! I’m the madam of this house. Why can’t I come?!” Ms. Lu was even angrier, “Qiao, when did I ever let you down? Since you came here, I have treated you well. I bought you new clothes a few days ago. You said you wanted to go to the Royal Academy, I didn’t stop you. I didn’t ask you to repay me, but how can you be so heartless?!”
Ms. Lu did not even dare to imagine what would happen if the Lin family came.
Although they were bumpkins with no status, as long as they were Xie Pinghuai’s family, as a stepmother, she would be ashamed!
She had been raising the children all this while. Could it be that she was paving the way for the Lin family for all she had done?!
The father and son did not think about the Lin family earlier. Why would they suddenly have thoughts about it now?!
Without guessing, it must be Xie Qiao’s doing!
This girl was born to be her nemesis!
