Chapter 361 Longing

After they get married, he will move out and live alone with Jiang Mi.

Huo Rancai couldn't bear to let Jiang Mi live in such a depressing atmosphere. He could tolerate it himself, but he couldn't bear to let Jiang Mi suffer even the slightest bit of pain and grievance.

"Don't worry about them. From now on, you only need to think about me. You don't need to care about anyone else."

Hearing Huo Ran's domineering words, Jiang Mi lowered her head shyly. This was fine too. She didn't like being controlled by others, and given her personality, if she didn't get along with Huo Ran's family, she wouldn't swallow her anger. Otherwise, she would cause chaos in the family. As long as Huo Ran could understand and be considerate of her, that would be enough.

"Alright, since you've said so, I'll do whatever you say."

Jiang Mi and Huo Ran gazed at each other for a while before reluctantly parting ways. Ever since hearing Huo Ran's words, Jiang Mi had been looking forward to Huo Ran's marriage proposal every day.

System: [Huo Ran hasn't even proposed to you in front of everyone yet, and you're already giving up your mission?]

Oh right, Jiang Mi almost forgot about that. She's completely fallen in love now and has to put all this behind her.

Your "good woman" rating is almost maxed out, but if you fail to complete even one task, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mi immediately became furious: "What do you mean by that? Did I do all my previous tasks for nothing? That's not fair!"

[But you've already received all the rewards, haven't you? Look at you now, living a splendid life, isn't it all because of the mission? While you're enjoying the fruits of your labor, shouldn't you also fulfill your obligations?]

Jiang Mi felt a little guilty after what the system said, but she was too embarrassed to tell Huo Ran about this task directly, especially in front of everyone... she was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, if he comes to propose to me, wouldn't that be in front of a lot of people? Wouldn't that complete the mission?"

The system suddenly went silent. Jiang Mi hadn't expected herself to be so clever that even the system didn't know how to refute her. It seemed that this task wasn't so difficult after all.

Jiang Mi was happy for a while, then composed herself. She knew that life had many other things besides love, such as the things she needed to do. Jiang Mi happily went back to researching the shower gel. With Huo Ran's encouragement today, she wouldn't be discouraged even if she failed a hundred times.

Wait, something's not right...

"Mo Hua, Si Qin, come here."

Hearing Jiang Mi's shout, Mo Hua and Si Qin quickly came in.

"Miss, is there anything I can do for you?"

Jiang Mi pointed to the bottles and jars on the table and said with certainty, "These things have been touched. Someone has entered my room."

Mo Hua and Si Qin were both taken aback, not expecting anyone to be so audacious. Si Qin said cautiously, "Could it be Xue Lian? That shouldn't be possible. Miss already warned her last night. How dare she still do this? How dare she be so bold?"

Jiang Mi wasn't sure if it was Xue Lian, but she said to Si Qin, "I don't think Zhu Qing is a very scheming person. Why don't you find some time to talk to her? Maybe she knows something."

Mo Hua now finds everyone suspicious: "What if Zhu Qing is faking it? Maybe the two of them are in cahoots, and then we'll have alerted them?"

Jiang Mi shook her head: "I don't think they're working together. Let's go ask them and see what they have to say. Since they dared to come in and search things, it means they already had a plan. Let's see how they explain themselves."

Upon hearing this, Mo Hua turned around to ask, but Jiang Mi stopped her: "You shouldn't go. With your impulsive personality, you'll probably start arguing before you even finish two sentences. Let Si Qin go instead."

Mo Hua watched Si Qin leave with a sullen expression. She said to Jiang Mi with dissatisfaction, "Miss, I am very composed now. Why don't you trust me? Those little hussies are very unruly. Why don't we kick them all out and find some honest ones? If that doesn't work, we can just find some from the countryside. As long as we pay them enough, they won't lack food or drink. They shouldn't betray us."

Jiang Mi checked her bottles and jars and found that only a little quantity was missing. Even if they were stolen, it didn't matter, as those people couldn't learn it.

"That's hard to say. It's possible that Xue Lian was planted by someone else, just like this time. People in the capital are all very cunning, and I can't understand them. It's best to lay everything out in the open. If they're really playing tricks, then I won't be polite to them."

"Who do you think it could be, Miss?" Mo Hua thought for a moment. "Liu Zijun is definitely one of them. Who else could it be? It seems like there's no one else besides her."

"Zhao Zhilan, although she usually follows behind Liu Zijun and seems inconspicuous, this woman is very shrewd, and she is not as nice to Liu Zijun as she appears on the surface. We should be wary of her."

Mo Hua nodded: "Miss is right. I had completely forgotten about this woman. The easier it is to overlook someone, the more likely they are to do something shocking. We should be more careful. After all, one can never be too careful."

Jiang Mi couldn't help but praise her: "You're really good. You didn't read this book for nothing. It's really useful."

Mo Hua was also smug, never expecting that she would one day be able to speak eloquently. How wonderful! The young lady has now raised her to be like a young lady of high birth.

“Last time I was out, people thought I was some young lady from a wealthy family. When I went home recently, my family and neighbors didn’t recognize me. They said that being a maid in a rich family is different. Now I don’t look like a maid at all, but like a mistress.”

Jiang Mi wanted this kind of feeling. Even the maids around her had dignity, let alone her personal maids like Mo Hua and Si Qin. Their relationship was naturally extraordinary.

“Miss, if Madam leaves, will those maids still be kept? Why don’t we just send Zhuqing and Xuelian out and let the old lady’s maids come and serve us?”

Jiang Mi shook her head: "My mother will come back in the future. She's already used to these people, so let's keep them. If she comes back later, it will take time to adjust to new people. The old lady is comfortable with them."

When Mo Hua heard Jiang Mi say this, she thought it made a lot of sense, so she stopped bringing it up.

Jiang Mi glanced at her bottles and jars and continued making shower gel. Perhaps encouraged by Huo Ran, she actually succeeded this time. The shower gel looked better than the soap and was also very pretty.
