On their wedding night, she attempted to flee. The entire city was on high alert, and he cornered her in the bridal suite.
"No, don't come any closer, there's a difference between...
"Second sister-in-law, why aren't you at home having a baby with my second brother? What are you doing here?"
Xiao Qingxue reluctantly stood up and ordered her men to release Mu Guo.
The woman called "Second Sister-in-law" is actually the wife of Xiao Shenxing, the second young master of the Xiao family, named Wen Qingwan.
As her name suggests, Wen Qingwan gives people a first impression of being gentle, elegant, and poised.
Xiao Qingxue, although also surnamed Xiao, is not related to the Xiao family by blood; she is the adopted granddaughter of Old Master Xiao.
Although she was adopted, the old man doted on Xiao Qingxue, indulging her from a young age, which fostered her mischievous personality.
Hearing Xiao Qingxue say that, Wen Qingwan's face flushed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, but her face still had the same gentle and charming smile.
"Xue'er, why are you teasing your sister-in-law again? By the way, I came to see you because Grandpa's 70th birthday is coming up soon, and as usual, you're in charge of the arrangements. What do you say?"
The old man's birthday was always a major event for the Xiao family, and Xiao Qingxue agreed without hesitation.
"No problem! Oh, and I want her to help me out later."
Xiao Qingxue pointed at the wooden fruit with an air of arrogance, her nostrils practically flaring up to the sky.
“But she’s someone Jin Yan brought back, so you need to discuss it with Jin Yan first.”
"There's no need to discuss it. Brother Jinyan loves me so much. I'm just a servant. He'll agree."
"I am not a servant—"
Muguo's eyes flickered slightly.
It was just that one look that made Xiao Qingxue feel a pang of sadness.
"You dare talk back!"
Xiao Qingxue was furious and raised her hand to slap Mu Guo.
The slap was caught precisely by Mu Guo as it landed in mid-air.
"What are you doing? I'm the Third Miss! If you mess with me, do you want to go to hell?!"
Xiao Qingxue yelled, her wrist was being squeezed painfully by Mu Guo, and tears were about to come out.
This is outrageous! When has she ever suffered such humiliation in the Xiao family?
Mu Guo curled her lips into a smile, leaned closer to Xiao Qingxue, and whispered in her ear.
"Third Miss, I crawled out of hell. Do you think I would be afraid to go back? On the contrary, you, such a delicate young lady, are nothing outside the Xiao family."
Her voice was clear and bright, clearly beautiful, like heavenly music, but to Xiao Qingxue's ears it sounded like a devil.
"You...you're not afraid of me?"
"As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Are you afraid of me, Miss San?"
She's gone mad! This woman is absolutely insane!
In the Xiao family, how could there be any servants who dared to speak to her like that?
"Ugly monster, let me go! If you don't, I'll tell Brother Jinyan and he'll deal with you!"
Mu Guo frowned and shook off Xiao Qingxue's hand.
Xiao Qingxue stumbled forward a few steps due to inertia, then fell into the arms of his subordinate.
"Smack!"
Before his subordinate could react, he was slapped hard by Xiao Qingxue.
"You bastard, who do you think you are to touch me! Get out of my way!"
"Yes, Third Miss."
The big man agreed, then fell to the ground and rolled around.
No one noticed Xiao Jinyan strode in from outside the door, like a king descending.
Wen Qingwan's sharp eyes caught sight of that black figure, and she softly reprimanded Xiao Qingxue.
"Xue'er, haven't you made enough of a scene? Even if he's a servant, you shouldn't treat him like this."
"What's it to you?"
Xiao Qingxue gave Wen Qingwan an impatient shove, and the latter's body floated back lightly.
