"Xiaofeng, where have you been? Madam has been looking for you all afternoon but couldn't find you." As soon as Xiaofeng entered the living room, Aunt Dong saw her and stopped her to ask.
"Aunt Dong, I went to see my mother. I asked for leave from the housekeeper." She answered in a low voice.
"Hey, why are you buying vegetables?" Aunt Dong was very surprised when she saw the vegetables in her hands.
This Xiao Feng has been acting strangely for more than just one or two days, but it is definitely rare for her to buy so many vegetables. In the Li's Castle, the servants are provided with food and accommodation, so they don't have to buy their own vegetables.
"My mother is in the hospital and I bought it for her to eat." Xiaofeng replied quickly.
"Oh." Aunt Dong felt sympathetic when she heard her mother was in the hospital. She thought her mother's strange behavior must be related to her family background. She had heard Chen Ning say that her family was poor, so she asked immediately, "Do you need help? I have time."
"No, Aunt Dong, thank you. I can do it myself. I just need to use the kitchen for a while."
"That's no problem. There are still a lot of vegetables in the refrigerator. We can't finish them all. Just tell your wife that you don't need to buy vegetables. We can cook them together in the big stove and send some to your mother. You are in financial difficulty and it's not easy for you." Aunt Dong reminded her kindly.
"Okay, I'll tell my wife next time. Thank you." Xiaofeng said with a smile.
At this time, Xiaoxiao came to find Aunt Dong, and Aunt Dong took her out for a walk.
Xiaofeng brought the dishes to the kitchen and started washing them.
"Ah." After a while, she cleaned the vegetables and started to cut them, but because she was distracted, the knife cut her finger, and blood gushed out instantly.
it hurts!
Her face turned pale, and she covered her finger and went to find the medicine box. After disinfecting it, she used a Band-Aid to stop the bleeding before continuing to cook.
"Xiaofeng, turn off the fire quickly, the vegetables are burnt." Just as she was holding the spatula in a daze, suddenly, someone called her from behind.
Xiaofeng was startled. When she came to her senses, she saw black smoke coming out of the pot. The fish she had just fried was burnt. Her face turned pale, and at this time, the people behind her rushed over to turn off the fire.
"Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you? You even burn the food while cooking." Li Wanqing came over after smelling the burnt smell. She had called Xiaofeng several times in the living room, but she didn't respond. She was so scared that she rushed over to turn off the fire.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I didn't mean it. I won't do it again next time." Xiaofeng apologized quickly.
"Xiao Feng, you've been either in a daze or lost in thought every day lately. Is there something on your mind?"
Originally, Li Wanqing wanted to find Xiaofeng and have a good talk with her in the study today, but she didn't see her in the afternoon.
Just the day before yesterday in the middle of the night, when she woke up to go to the bathroom, she thought of the children sleeping upstairs. Ding Ding had been coughing a little in the past few days, and it was cold at night, so she went upstairs for fear that the little guy would kick off the quilt.
But when she went upstairs and took a look, she immediately became furious. She saw that in the children's room, Coco, Dingding and Xiaoxiao were all not covered with quilts. Dingding was still coughing, and Xiaofeng, who was on night shift, was nowhere to be seen.
She covered the children with blankets with heartache and went to look for Xiaofeng, but she didn't expect that she had fallen asleep in the guest room, which was where Shen Ning slept.
At that time, she was very angry, woke her up and criticized her harshly.
After that incident, Li Wanqing began to pay attention to Xiaofeng.
It would be fine if I didn't pay attention to it, but the moment I paid attention to it, I became more and more nervous.
She found that Xiaofeng was like a wandering soul during the day, absent-minded and walking around. At night, she either stood in a daze or sat in a trance. She had no intention of taking good care of her grandchildren, which made her very worried.
In this situation, she was not comfortable leaving the children in her care.
