Take a Sip of Milk to Calm My Nerves, the Whole Family is Waiting for Me to Save Them – Chapter 50

Ch 50: A Slap in the Face

Little Chou Chou relied on her own strength to make her parents angry and leave, but she herself fell asleep contentedly.

She still has appointments with the Imperial Madams tomorrow, so she needs to conserve her energy.

Su Junyao remembered Little Chou Chou’s words, and during this period, he was always suspicious, feeling that someone coveted his beauty.

So he added another layer of guards outside the courtyard.

This night, Madam Wen asked someone to stew soup and instructed Zheng Xiulan to deliver it to him. These two were still not dead.

But Su Junyao was prepared, so Zheng Xiulan was driven out before she even touched the door.

Looking at the two tall and unfamiliar guards at the door, Zheng Xiulan’s face turned dark.

Over the years, in order to scam Su Junyao, Zheng Xiulan had investigated the people around him. These two were obviously used to guard against her.

“Do you know who I am?”

The two guards had no reaction, looking straight ahead with cold faces.

Zheng Xiulan was a little unable to hold back. In the past, there were also ignorant guards, but she would always get some concessions through coercion and inducement. She used the same trick again: “I am the Heir’s own cousin. Do I need you two dog slaves’ permission to see my cousin?”

“Get out of my way!”

But the two guards remained upright as pine trees, not looking sideways, directly ignoring the yelling Zheng Xiulan.

Zheng Xiulan shouted: “I’m telling you to move aside, do you want me to ask Old Madam to come over? This was ordered by Old Madam to be delivered!”

She had already asked Yuan Xiang to inquire that Su Junyao had been resting in the study room these days. After a while, Yuan Xiang would lead the person over. As long as she went in and made some ambiguous small movements, she would be able to make Yun Jinglan half dead with anger, and just in time to alienate the two of them.

But seeing that the person was almost here and she hadn’t gone in yet, it would be embarrassing to be caught by Yun Jinglan being stopped at the door.

Zheng Xiulan was so angry that her face turned green, and she even wanted to force her way in.

“Madam Zheng, what are you doing?”

Zheng Xiulan’s crazy appearance of shouting and yelling first attracted Chen He. Chen He had just dug someone else’s gold, but he didn’t feel any guilt at all. As soon as they met, he sized up Zheng Xiulan, and then said meaningfully: “This place is not where you should be.”

Zheng Xiulan is a widow who was driven out by her husband’s family after her husband died. But Madam Wen was intent on bringing her and Su Junyao together, so she asked the people in the Marquis Mansion to call her Cousin, even though she already had a son in his teens.

But there are some people who just don’t give her this face, such as Chen He…

Zheng Xiulan saw the person she hated most in the entire Marquis Mansion besides Yun Jinglan appear, and she clenched her fists in anger, digging her nails into her flesh without feeling it.

It was always this Chen He who ruined her good deeds. But this person is just so persistent!

Chen He walked over quickly and stood in front of the door, looking at Zheng Xiulan with a playful smile: “Madam Zheng, are you talking to these two guards?”

Zheng Xiulan snorted coldly: “Old Madam asked me to deliver ginseng soup to my cousin, why don’t they let me through.”

Chen He’s smile widened, looking even more mocking: “Madam Zheng, isn’t this a coincidence, you two are deaf and mute, you can’t hear.”

No wonder Zheng Xiulan had been yelling for so long and they didn’t react. But she didn’t want to argue with two disabled people, feeling it would be beneath her dignity.

“Then you came just in time, I want to go in and deliver ginseng soup to my cousin.”

“You’re really joking.” Chen He seemed to have heard a big joke, pointing to the moon in the sky and said, “In the middle of the night, the Old Madam asked a woman like you to deliver ginseng soup to our Young Lord?”

“Stop it, our Young Lord also needs a reputation. This one advises you to quickly go back where you came from.”

Zheng Xiulan’s face turned green with anger, but Chen He refused to let her go: “Oh, our poor Young Lord, don’t worry, this one swears to protect your innocence!”

Zheng Xiulan is also a person who cares about face. If Chen He continued to yell like this, the entire Marquis Mansion would probably know.

Tonight is destined to be unsuccessful.

She became angry and ashamed and directly splashed the ginseng soup on Chen He’s body. Chen He was splashed with ginseng soup all over his face but didn’t move, just mockingly curled the corners of his mouth.

◈◈◈

Wanting to be a prostitute while also wanting to erect a chastity arch, she became angry and ashamed when exposed.

After Zheng Xiulan walked away, the door of the study room was pulled open from the inside.

Chen He said with a sad face: “Madam, I have sacrificed too much for the Heir!”

Yun Jinglan glanced at the man inside who was teasing his daughter, and felt that Chen He had indeed not been easy to protect his innocence for so many years. It was not in vain that she had picked him up from a pile of dead people back then.

“You’ve been wronged all these years having to face that madwoman, I’ll increase your monthly allowance later.”

Chen He rubbed his hands, with some small expectations: “Madam knows, this one is not a person who values profit.”

Yun Jinglan trusts Chen He and naturally understands his loyalty. Just as she was about to praise him, Little Chou Chou noticed the situation outside.

【Uncle Chen doesn’t value profit, he just has his eye on Aunt Dongxiao. 】

【Mother, he wants to snatch Aunt Dongxiao from Little Chou Chou! 】

【My Aunt Dongxiao who can sew dolls, take care of dolls, and knows a little bit of martial arts is an all-rounder! 】

Yun Jinglan was almost persuaded by Little Chou Chou’s little broken gong voice to betroth Dongxiao directly.

Because if it was any later, she was afraid that Little Chou Chou would take a fancy to Dongxiao.

Besides her mother, Little Chou Chou usually spends more time with Dongxiao.

After the fifteenth day, Yun Jinglan will go out to interact with the Madams of the Capital’s aristocratic families, and Little Chou Chou will probably be closest to Dongxiao.

No, Dongxiao can’t be delayed!

“I know what you mean, I will make the decision for you when Dongxiao nods.”

Chen He couldn’t wait to pull Zheng Xiulan back and have her splash a few more bowls of ginseng soup on himself. He is diligent and conscientious, this wife is what he should marry!

【Oh, then Little Chou Chou is going to prepare a dowry for Aunt Dongxiao. 】

The little chubby baby seriously pondered: 【Then can Aunt Dongxiao spend the day with me in the future, and spend the night with Uncle Chen? 】

Yun Jinglan refused to answer this question, and directly let Little Chou Chou think about it herself.

This little brat is sometimes so annoying!

She changed the subject: “Yuan Xiang has a problem!”

Su Junyao felt particularly wronged, and it was finally his turn to interject!

“I knew how there could be so many coincidences in the world, how every time Zheng Xiulan pestered me, you, Madam, would run into it. Isn’t it designed by this group of ungrateful people!”

This group of backstabbing things must be severely punished!

Yun Jinglan rolled her eyes at him, it’s not his fault!

“But Yuan Xiang can’t be touched for the time being. Follow the vine to find the melon, we always need to know what Zheng Xiulan is asking for.”

Su Junyao wanted to say something, but looked at Yun Jinglan and didn’t open his mouth.

Yun Jinglan noticed his awkward look, twitched the corners of her mouth, and was a little speechless: “You really think she has taken a fancy to you, right?”

Such a shocked tone made Su Junyao’s self-esteem suffer. He is also the Heir of the Marquis Mansion, a close minister of the Emperor, and ranks among the Nine Ministers, so why such a mocking tone?

Could it be that he has been tormented by Zheng Xiulan recently and has become old and no longer pleases his Madam?

【Silly Dad, is she attracted to your half-old charm? 】

【Of course, she is attracted to our Marquis Mansion’s huge family fortune! 】
