Yang Juan took Yang Chunyan's hand and said coldly: "Yan'er, do you see something wrong with that Liu Xi this time?" ”

Yang Chunyan glanced at Yang Juan, sighed softly, and pulled Yang Juan to sit down: "I heard what the eldest sister said to Miss Liu Xi...... It's not without reason. ”

Yang Juan was overjoyed: "You see it?" ”

Yang Chunyan smiled slightly, she knew that Yang Juan did this for herself, but she still straightened her expression a little and said: "Eldest sister, what you just said has some truth, but no matter what, it is just a hypothesis to investigate in the end, I promise you will pay more attention to Liu Xi in your ordinary life, but it is only limited to this, and I really can't say anything else." ”

Yang Juan's face, which was still a little happy just now, suddenly sank, and she was a little anxious: "What assumption?" I think there is something wrong with that Liu Xi, which girl who grew up in the countryside now has such good needlework? This is clearly a cat. ”

"Eldest sister, I heard that some rich and noble families have invited special folk embroiderers to deal with the special clothes and objects in the house, although the probability is very small, but there is a case, in case the mother of the Liu Xi girl or other relatives, is a skilled embroiderer? Didn't the suspicion just now be made clear all at once? ”

"You ......" Yang Juan's cheeks were red from Yang Chunyan's words, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Yang Chunyan sighed, and her tone softened a lot: "Eldest sister, I know, you are for my good, although your sister and I are not extremely smart, but I am not a fool, I will not be calculated for no reason, don't worry." ”

Yang Juan looked at Yang Chunyan's kind appearance, and couldn't understand why a woman who was so powerful in business was so calm in life.

"Yan'er, don't dislike the eldest sister for being verbose, the eldest sister assures you, I don't dare to say how bad Liu Xi is, but she is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface...... Let's not talk about the embroidery for the time being, then Liu Xifang said that she has been doing farm work behind her family since she was a child, cleaning up the housework, but have you noticed her hands? The hands are delicate and smooth, where is there a little bit of farm work? ”

After listening to Yang Juan's words, Yang Chunyan chuckled in her heart, slowly put the tea cup in her hand on the table, and fell into deep thought.

Yang Chunyan wasn't thinking about how delicate Liu Xi's hands were, she was thinking of the thing that the steward told herself when she came out of the cloth village just now.

Seeing Yang Chunyan thinking blankly, Yang Juan couldn't help but raise her hand and waved in front of Yang Chunyan: "Yan'er, what's the matter with you?" What are you in a daze? ”

Yang Chunyan came back to her senses and let out a faint "ah", and then the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, she got up suddenly and walked towards the outside of the grocery store.

"What's wrong with you, Yan'er?" Seeing Yang Chunyan like this, Yang Juan was a little frightened, she quickly got up and followed, and asked puzzledly.

"Eldest sister, I have some things, go home." Yang Chunyan's mind is a little messy now, she can't tell what happened today, but she is a little uneasy in her heart, before there is a definite answer, Yang Chunyan feels that she still has a good time following Liu Xi, and if there is anything at that time, she can react as soon as possible.

"Why do you want to go home all of a sudden?" Yang Juan looked at Yang Chunyan and couldn't help but be a little worried.

"It's really nothing, eldest sister, don't worry, you watch the shop first, I'll come back later." Yang Chunyan was afraid that Yang Juan would care about it, and besides, she was just guessing about some things, and she couldn't say it clearly for a while, if she told Yang Juan everything, in case Yang Juan followed her to Liu Xi and said something, it would not end well.

"Are you really okay?" Yang Juan stared at Yang Chunyan with a pair of eyes, and asked again uncertainly.

"It's okay, don't worry." Yang Chunyan smiled slightly, and after saying goodbye to Yang Juan, she walked in the direction of the Huo family without stopping.

Huo family, as soon as Liu Xi came back, he plunged into the kitchen and didn't know what he was doing, Huo Xiting, who was playing in the yard with preserved eggs, looked at Liu Xi's busy back, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "Liu Xi, what are you doing in the kitchen?" ”

Liu Xi turned her head, with the flour in her hand, she looked at Huo Xiting and smiled slightly, as warm as a spring breeze: "Xiaoxi, I don't know how to make you unhappy today, just when I was at home, I learned to make osmanthus cakes, so I thought about making them for you to eat." ”

After Liu Xi finished speaking, he also showed Huo Xiting the dried osmanthus flowers he bought when he came back, and his eyes were full of flattery.

Huo Xiting is still a child after all, and when she heard that there was something to eat, or her favorite osmanthus cake, she couldn't help but be secretly happy, but she still pretended to be lukewarm on her face: "Good and decent, what are you doing for me to make these things...... You are also a guest of my family, besides, my mother likes you, and my brother and sister-in-law are very polite to you, so you don't have to go out of your way to please me. ”

Although Huo Xiting said so, the joy in her eyes was still seen by Liu Xi, the corners of Liu Xi's mouth hooked, children are children, and their true thoughts can't be hidden.

"Xiaoxi, I'm an outsider, it's just that I saved your brother by accident, all of you are kind people, and you are willing to take me in and let me live this happy and comfortable life, but I should leave after a while, so I want you to be happy, so I feel less guilty."

Where could Huo Xiting withstand Liu Xi's words, she raised her hand and scratched her head after hearing it, so it sounded like everything seemed to be her own.

"You, don't say that, I'm not unhappy...... Huo Xiting lowered her head and said with some weakness.

"Okay, okay, you're not unhappy, you go to the yard to play first, and when the osmanthus cake is ready, I'll call you okay?" Liu Xi grinned, his voice gentle.

"Okay." Huo Xiting couldn't say anything, her dissatisfaction with Liu Xi during this time had come to naught, she glanced at Liu Xi, her cheeks were red, and she felt a little guilty in her heart.

By the time Yang Chunyan hurried home, Liu Xi had already brought the finished osmanthus cake to Huo Xiting, and Huo's mother, who had been in the house, also smelled the smell of osmanthus and was walking out of the house: "Is it because I'm old and delusional?" How can there be the fragrance of osmanthus this season? ”

Liu Xi looked at Huo's mother, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "It's not Uncle Huo, you have a delusion, the taste of this osmanthus is real, I bought it outside, make some osmanthus cakes for Xiaoxi to taste." ”

Huo Xiting was already around Liu Xi at this time, and even the preserved eggs behind her followed, wagging her tail constantly.

Yang Chunyan almost trotted back all the way, and she walked to the door of Huo's house before pausing to catch her breath, while arranging her somewhat messy hair, she looked at the three people in the yard talking and laughing.

Huo's mother had already walked to Liu Xi's side at this time, and Liu Xi took the osmanthus cake in her hand to Huo's mother: "Since Aunt Huo has come out, let's try it too, my craftsmanship is not good, Uncle Huo don't look at my jokes." ”

Huo Mu smiled, her eyes were full of satisfaction, she stretched out her hand to take the osmanthus cake, and before she could put it in her mouth, she saw Yang Chunyan panting and running towards her: "Don't, don't eat!" ”

In a hurry, Yang Chunyan couldn't care so much, she didn't care if her actions were really in line with the rules, she directly reached out and knocked off the osmanthus cake that was about to be sent into Huo's mother's mouth, because she couldn't stand steadily, she stumbled, and Yang Chunyan's other hand accidentally knocked over the plate in Liu Xi's hand on the side, and the freshly baked osmanthus cake was beaten to the ground and fell into the soil.

For a moment, the four people in the courtyard were stunned, they looked at each other, a little dazed.

Yang Chunyan's chest was rising and falling, only to see that Liu Xi was going to hand the osmanthus cake to Huo's mother, and the first thought that rushed into his mind was that the osmanthus cake could not be eaten, as for why there was this idea, Yang Chunyan couldn't say it after calming down a little.

Huo Mu was the first to react, she looked down at the osmanthus cake that fell on the ground, and frowned: "Yan'er, what are you doing?" ”

Yang Chunyan blinked her eyes and spouted: "Mother, I ......"

"Sister, why are you doing this?" Liu Xi on the side suddenly asked with a crying voice, Yang Chunyan was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at Liu Xi.

Liu Xi's eyes were already red at this time: "Sister, I know you don't like me, it's just that my sister is a kind person, and I haven't said it to pierce this layer of window paper, but today, I want to make osmanthus cakes for Xiaoxi to taste, even if my sister is dissatisfied with me, she shouldn't beat them to the ground on the spot in front of Aunt Huo and Xiaoxi's year......"

Yang Chunyan was like a slap on the head, her mouth opened slightly, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Huo Mu's annoyed voice also sounded on the side: "Yan'er, you have to give an explanation for this matter today!" ”

Seeing Liu Xi crying so sadly, Huo's mother naturally thought of Yang Chunyan's various obstructions to Liu Xi before, and there were no explicit things, so Huo's mother turned a blind eye and went over, but this time Yang Chunyan actually did such a ridiculous thing, Huo's mother felt that she couldn't bear it anymore.

"I—I didn't mean to knock over the osmanthus cake." Yang Chunyan saw that Huo's mother was angry and hurriedly explained.

"My sister doesn't have to say anything, it's just that I don't like it, if my sister guards me like a thief all day long because of my appearance, then I might as well leave, even if I go to the street to ask for food, such an insulting thing will not happen!" Liu Xi continued to cry, and the big tears of pearl fell down one by one, so he was not sad.

Huo Xiting glanced at the osmanthus cake on the ground, and looked distressed: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you today?" ”
