Chapter 17 Childhood Sweethearts’ Past 2
After listening to the whole story, while Yin Xi admired the deep relationship between Xia Sheng and Chen Wan, she also felt more resistant to the Magnolia now in her house.

Chen Wan is the only mistress of the house, but the mistress has no housekeeping rights. Instead, Yu Lan, a foreign maid, manages the whole family.

If this were placed in a novel, Magnolia would definitely be a vicious female supporting character who takes over the magpie's nest, and Chen Wan would definitely be a weak, pitiful and abusive heroine who can be bullied.

"Um, madam, how is your relationship with the head of the family now?" Yin Xi asked boldly.

Chen Wan was stunned for a moment when she heard these words, and then she smiled softly and said, "It's still fine now, don't worry."

"Madam, I think Sister Yulan looks a bit like you." Yin Xi added something uneasy.

When Chen Wan heard this, she lowered her eyes and fell into silence. This silence made the silent Yin Xi's heart skip a beat.

Is there really something wrong with this magnolia?

"Madam? Madam, are you here?" By coincidence, Yulan's voice sounded outside the door again.

Yin Xi, who was busy muttering about Yu Lan, was frightened because of his guilty conscience. But for some reason, when Chen Wan heard this sudden sound, her body trembled uncontrollably.

Yin Xi thought the sound came too suddenly, and Chen Wan was startled. She quickly stood up and helped Chen Wan sit up, patting Chen Wan's back comfortingly with one hand.

"Madam?" Yulan asked next.

Madam, who are you? You scared Madam.

Yin Xi helped Chen Wan towards the door, feeling unhappy.

"I'm here, what's wrong?" Chen Wan opened the door and said softly.

Yu Lan had a smile on her face and said, "I saw that it took so long for Madam to deliver tea, so I thought I was stuck by something, so I came over to take a look."

She didn't know if it was because of Yin Xi's prejudice against Yulan, but she always heard that Yulan's words seemed to have no respect for Chen Wan.

"The tea was delivered, but I saw that Xiaoxi's hair was not dry, so I wiped her hair, which delayed her for a while." Chen Wan explained.

When Yulan heard this, her brows moved, and the smile on her face faded a little, and she said: "The master of the house is looking for you in a hurry, you should go back quickly, don't make the master of the house wait in a hurry." After that, she turned and left.

Chen Wan didn't have time to say goodbye, so she could only say: "Have a good rest." Then she hurriedly followed Yulan's footsteps.

hiss--

Yin Xi was unhappy. How come Yulan didn't even use respectful words when speaking to Chen Wan?

How dare a servant urge the head lady?
There is definitely something wrong with this woman!

Yin Xi suddenly recalled that delivering tea was supposed to be a servant's job, but in the end it was Chen Wan who came.

Could it be that Yulan was bossing Chen Wan around at home?

This shouldn't be the first time, right?
Yin Xi kept thinking about the past in which Yulan bullied Chen Wan with the help of the housekeeper, while Chen Wan had a soft temper and did not know how to resist.

No, Chen Wan is such a good person, I must find a way to help her.

When Yin Xi returned to bed, she began to rack her brains, recalling the house fighting and palace fighting movies she had watched in her previous life. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't find any practical ones.She turned her head to the almost cold tea on the table, thinking that she had to put it aside for now.

She carried the tea and walked to Yin Guizhou's guest room. Because Chen Wan's affairs were all on her mind, she had a sad face all the way.

Walking to Yin Guizhou's room, Yin Xi knocked on the door politely.

As expected, no one responded. Yin Guizhou was probably asleep by now.So Yin Xi opened the door and strode in. When she got behind the screen, she realized that there was no one on the bed.Yin Xi froze on the spot, remembering Chen Wan's stern warning when she wiped her hair just now, her heart suddenly went cold, and the tea cup in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Yin Guizhou is missing!

How to do?
She immediately turned around helplessly and ran towards the door.

Then Yin Xi exerted too much force and fell into the arms of Yin Guizhou who came in from the door.

"Sister, why are you walking in such a hurry? It hurts so much when you hit me." Yin Guizhou's pitiful words sounded from the top of Yin Xi's head. Yin Xi looked up and saw Yin Guizhou looking down with his eyes smiling. Own.

Yin Xi realized that she had thought too much, got up quickly, and asked, "Where did you go when you weren't sleeping in the house?" Her tone was quite questioning.

"Going to the toilet." Yin Guizhou said with a smile and folded his arms, "What? Are you afraid that I will lose you?"

Ah, yes, why didn’t I really lose you?
Yin Xi flattened her lips, pointed to the tea on the table, and said angrily: "I'm scared. Here, Mrs. Xia sent you the sobering tea. Drink it before it cools down. I'm going back to rest. ." After saying that, she turned around and left.

When she was about to walk out the door, Yin Guizhou suddenly said to her: "I heard that there will be an opera troupe coming to perform tomorrow night. Sister, why don't you go and see it with me?"

Yin Xi turned around and frowned, where did you hear that you were as drunk as mud?

Did Duke Zhou tell you in your dream?

"If you want to go, let's go."

"Okay." Yin Guizhou smiled.

After Yin Xi's footsteps outside faded away, the smile on Yin Guizhou's face disappeared into the shadows.

He looked at Yin Xi's back, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Elsewhere in the house, Chen Wan followed Yulan quietly. When passing by Xia Nianwan's boudoir, she couldn't help but stop.

"What are you dawdling about again?" Yulan turned around and asked impatiently.

Just as Yin Xi expected, when no one was around, Yulan changed her face towards Chen Wan, from a respectful and obedient servant to a sharp and mean master.

She mocked: "If you have nothing to do, don't bother the two immortals. Just worry about you and the head of the family."

Chen Wan lowered her head. She silently accepted a servant's scolding without any intention of refuting.After Yulan finished scolding her, she dared to whisper: "I want to go and see Nianwan first, and then leave. It won't waste much time."

"You still want to..." Yulan wanted to rebuke a few more words, but when she heard the name of 'Xia Nianwan', she paused, as if she was worried about something, and coldly said: "You better Hurry up." Then he turned around and left in a hurry.

In the room, Xia Nianwan quickly dodged to the bed and lay down at the moment Chen Wan gently opened the door. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Chen Wan quietly came to Xia Nianwan's bed and looked at her daughter's sleeping face, and then she showed a loving expression.Chen Wan gently tucked Xia Nianwan into bed, gently stroked her hair, and then sat silently by the bed and looked at her.

As she watched, Chen Wan's eyes filled with water. Although she wanted to stay with her daughter for a while longer, when she thought of Xia Sheng, Chen Wan's face became filled with sadness.

After the door was closed by Chen Wan again, Xia Nianwan opened her eyes.

He stood up and took off his coat, revealing his bruised neck that was pinched by Yin Guizhou and the bone-deep wound on his back that was torn by the sword energy.

The wound was still bleeding out, but 'Xia Nianwan' didn't care at all, as if she couldn't feel the pain.He just stared blankly at the door where Chen Wan had just left, with a sinister look in his calm eyes.
