She just stared blankly, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and trance, as if she was attracted by something, completely immersed in her own world, unaware of anything in the outside world.

Feng Jiuyan noticed that her mother looked absent-minded and could not help but follow her gaze. She was surprised to find that her mother's eyes were on Qiao Ping.

Her heart suddenly tightened and she felt a sense of panic.

In her eyes, her mother's expression at the moment was so strange that she was at a loss. She pondered secretly, and her heart was like a huge wave, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

She began to worry. Could it be that because Qiao Ping had protected her mother before, her mother was attracted to Qiao Ping?

When she thought of this possibility, Feng Jiuyan became extremely anxious, as if countless ants were gnawing at her heart.

This Qiao Ping is a killer!

He has other intentions towards their family!

As a modern person, she certainly would not object to her mother finding a stepfather for her and her brother, but this was absolutely not allowed for Qiao Ping. If her mother knew Qiao Ping's identity, how heartbroken she would be.

However, this matter is also very strange.

In her memory, her mother and father were a loving couple. Her father remained chaste for her mother and did not have any concubines or maids. After her father fell off a cliff and died, her mother was heartbroken.

From this it seems that her mother would definitely not fall in love with someone else.

Could it be that after Qiao Ping rescued her mother, Qiao Ping used all his tricks to seduce her mother? To make her mother fall in love with him?

So despicable!

Feng Jiuyan couldn't help but spit at Qiao Ping in her heart.

No, she must nip her mother's love in the bud while her mother's feelings for Qiao Ping are not deep enough!

If possible, she would find an opportunity to kill Qiao Ping!

What clues? They are not as important as her mother!

After making up her mind, Feng Jiuyan adjusted her facial expression and put a piece of boiled beef into Madam Feng's bowl. She said softly, "Come, mother, please try this boiled beef. If you like it, I will make it for you often."

After hearing her daughter's voice, Madam Feng suddenly came back to her senses and said in a panic, "Oh, okay, okay, mother, try it."

While talking, Madam Feng quickly picked up a piece of steaming boiled beef from the large ceramic bowl with chopsticks.

"Mom, be careful of the heat!" Feng Jiuyan frowned tightly when she saw this and quickly reminded her.

However, her reminder was still a step too late, and Madam Feng couldn't wait to stuff the boiled beef into her mouth.

Almost in an instant, Madam Feng's face turned red, and even her tears were burned by the hot beef.

Her eyes were tightly closed because of the pain, but she was concerned about her image and did not spit out the boiled beef slices in her mouth.

Feng Jiuyan just watched his mother, enduring the unbearable pain and swallowing the food in his mouth with difficulty.

Her heart was filled with heartache and helplessness, but she didn't know what to do.

Seeing this scene, several people put down their chopsticks and turned their eyes to Madam Feng, their faces full of concern and worry.

"Mother, are you okay?" Feng Jiuli frowned and asked with worry on her face.

"Yes, Aunt Feng, how do you feel?" Song Ning asked anxiously, with worry written all over her face.

"Hehe, I, I'm fine. Don't worry, just eat your food." Madam Feng forced a smile, trying to make herself look fine to comfort everyone.

However, she knew in her heart that her tongue was burning and painful. The burning sensation seemed to burn her tongue, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Feng Jiuyan quickly ran back to the carriage, and under the cover of the carriage, she poured a glass of icy spiritual spring water from the space. She walked back quickly with a glass of ice water in her hand.

"Mom, please drink some water." Feng Jiuyan stuffed the cup into Madam Feng's hand.

When Madam Feng held the cup, she felt it was cold in her hand and looked at Feng Jiuyan with gratitude.

"Drink it, you will feel better after drinking it." Feng Jiuyan said in a low voice.

"Hmm." Madam Feng raised her head and drank the icy spring water in the cup in small sips.

The cold water slowly flows into the mouth, bringing a refreshing coolness wherever it goes. The ice water flows in the mouth, gently touching every burned part, as if a gentle hand is soothing those painful nerves.

Gradually, the burning pain began to ease, no longer as severe as before, but became much milder. The moistening of the ice water gradually reduced the discomfort in the mouth, making Madam Feng feel a little comfortable and soothed.

After she finished the whole glass of water, the burning pain in her mouth almost disappeared.

"Don't worry, I'm fine now." Feng Jiuyan smiled sincerely.

After seeing that her mother's expression didn't seem fake, Feng Jiuyan felt relieved and started to eat.

She lowered her eyes, and a dark light flashed in them.

Feng Jiuyan secretly made up her mind that she must guard against Qiao Ping and prevent him from having any chance of contacting her mother again!

After the meal, everyone worked together to clean up the mess on the table.

Song Chen was responsible for feeding the arrogant donkey, Song Ning and Madam Feng were responsible for washing the pots and pans, and Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu were responsible for tidying up the table and other items.
