Chapter 70 Help Her Out

After hearing this, Liu Qingwan looked over through the falling snowflakes and saw a couple standing under the courtyard wall.

Fourth cousin?!

She looked at it carefully again, and a strange smile gradually appeared on her face.

This cousin Xu is really lucky.

At the last Shen family banquet, Liu Qingwan accidentally discovered that the Shen family's maid was doing something strange, and she knew that her chance had come.

But he couldn't find the motive of the Shen family to drug him, so he could only drag his cousin Xu along.

It was a well-known fact that Xu Shuyao had been questioned in person by Shen Jingshu in Songhe Hall before.

For doubly assured protection, she even tasted a piece of Cousin Xu's cake. If she couldn't put the blame on the Shen family, she would put the blame on Xu Shuyao.

Isn’t Chen trying to match her niece with Xiao Jinrong?

Xiao Jinrong is in love with her, which makes cousin Xu jealous.

Liu Qingwan had already thought of a reason for the other party, and then she sprinkled the strongest aphrodisiac powder on her body. That thing would take effect as long as it touched the skin without being smelled.

As a result, cousin Xu returned unharmed.

She didn't believe it. Going to the clinic was fake, and finding a man to solve the problem was the real thing.

Liu Qingwan looked up at her aunt again. At this moment, she was watching the fireworks in the sky with great interest.

Thinking about the past and the days when she was neglected and ridiculed by the servants after Liu gave up on her.

With a smile on her lips, she leaned close to her good aunt's ear and said, "Aunt! Look!"

When the maid behind her saw the smile of the Second Young Master's wife, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her body.

On the other side, Xiao Jinwen saw his cousin Xu here and did not go to the crowd.

Xu Shuyao had very complicated feelings towards her fourth cousin.

Before, when he was in the Shen clan school, he had taken good care of his younger brothers, including Xu Shuyao herself, who had also been treated with his gentle voice.

In the unfamiliar environment of Duke Cheng's Mansion, when everyone showed her their fangs and told her that this was just how life was, Xiao Jinwen was the warm breeze that brushed across her heart.

Gentle and warm, making people trust her.

Xu Shuyao was also a young girl in her twenties, so it was impossible for her not to have feelings for handsome and elegant men.

But, can she?

She knew that Liu had high hopes for her son.

She also knew that Xiao Jinwen treated her a little differently.

But she always kept to her duties, and when she knew that the other party was engaged, she avoided him as much as possible.

The result satisfied her, and the fourth young master of the Xiao family did not pursue her relentlessly.

He is a gentleman and knows what he wants, and that is enough.

Just thinking about A-di, Xu Shuyao felt that now was the right time.

"Fourth cousin!" The sound of fireworks exploding in the air rang in her ears from time to time, forcing her to take a few steps closer to the other party.

Xiao Jinwen didn't expect to meet his cousin Xu here. It was just a courtyard wall and a quiet and beautiful silhouette.

He couldn't help but stop.

Ever since that morning in Songhe Hall when he was caught by his mother, he began to understand his own thoughts.

The fourth young master of the Xiao family sighed and was thinking of saying something to ease the awkwardness when he saw the other party approaching.

He couldn't help but stand up straighter, and his heart became inexplicably nervous.

Xu Shuyao smiled and said, "I want to tell you something, cousin..."

Xiao Jinwen also leaned over, but Xu Shuyao was interrupted by an angry voice before she could finish her story about A-di.

"What are you doing?"

They both looked up at the same time and met the shocked and angry gaze of the Third Madam Liu.

And next to her stood Liu Qingwan.

At this moment, he was looking at it calmly, but his eyes were extremely indifferent.

Not only that, there was also Xiao Jinrong, who stood next to his wife with a somewhat out of sorts look.

Besides that, there is also Young Master Xiao Wu, and even Xu Shuheng...

Xu Shuyao felt that this was outdoors and the two were talking in front of the maid and everyone else.

Besides, this place is not far from where the fireworks are set off.

I'm not avoiding anyone, why is it like this?!

Xu Shuyao shook her head and said to Liu: "It's just an ordinary conversation..."

Liu looked at her son again. "Tell me! Was it she who called you? What did she say to you?"

When she thought about her son's upcoming marriage, Liu couldn't help but feel angry.

Ever since what happened to Liu Qingwan, Liu felt that these young ladies were not trustworthy.

Just because her niece plotted against the second wife, the second wife's niece also plotted against her son?

Thinking of what her niece had just said to her, "My fourth cousin might have been tripped up by someone."

She didn't believe it at first, but as she walked along, she saw that the two were so close.

So, the answer is already obvious.

Xiao Jinwen was somewhat at a loss in the face of his mother's hysteria and was unable to speak for a while.

He wanted to say that it was actually he who had ulterior motives. He saw Cousin Xu here alone, so he came over.

He just didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to find him, and talk about serious matters.

If it wasn't for Xu Shuheng, she should have left long ago to avoid suspicion, right?

Xiao Jinwen's lips moved, and when he was about to say something, he saw the prince Xiao Mo walking over.

He was wearing an ink-black cloak and walked in front of everyone in the wind and snow, as if he was strolling in the garden.

"Cousin Xu!" Xiao Mo suddenly called out.

The originally stalemate was interrupted by his appearance. Liu had always been a little afraid of this nephew.

Now, in the Chengguo Mansion, it seems that the old lady is the most powerful, but the one who really makes the decision is this living devil in front of her.

Whenever Liu thought of Xiao Mo's previous actions, her scalp would tingle, so she even forgot about raising an army to punish him.

Seeing him suddenly call the orphan girl, she was shocked and confused for a moment.

Xu Shuyao: “…”

She seemed to hear someone calling her, but she felt a little uncertain, so she didn't move at all.

"Cousin Xu!" Xiao Mo frowned and called again.

Then he waved at her, "Come here!"

Xu Shuyao didn't understand what the other party was up to, but she had a clear conscience and was not afraid.

But I still feel a little sad and angry in my heart.

She suddenly thought of her aunt Chen, and wondered if she would protect this niece who had lost her usefulness.

And what about Madam Xiao, will she believe herself?

It's just a few words, why make such a fuss?

Doesn’t Liu know that attracting so many people to watch will be detrimental to Xiao Jinwen’s marriage?

Xu Shuyao walked up to Xiao Mo with mixed feelings, even bowing before asking, "I wonder why my cousin called me?"

Xiao Mo looked over quietly, his eyes as deep as ever. After a long pause, he said calmly, "Didn't Grandmother ask you to go find Fourth Brother? Why are you still dawdling here?"

Then, as if remembering something, he said to Liu, "I just saw Auntie was talking very excitedly. What were they talking about? Could I listen, nephew?"

Liu's face turned red and white.

Even Liu Qingwan lowered her head.
