Chapter 84: Jealous
Xu Muhua was not exaggerating when she said Xu Jinyu was cautious. Not only the master but even the other animals in her yard said that they didn't notice anything wrong with her, which shows how careful she is.
Xu Muhua thought that Xu Jinyu wanted to harm her, so why not find a way to lure the snake out of its hole?
But if she wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, she had to find out why Xu Jinyu wanted to kill her first!
Xu Muhua thought about it and couldn't figure it out.
She really didn't expect that Xu Jinyu, a real daughter, would be jealous of her, an adopted fake daughter.
If it was like the novels she had read before, the two of them had their identities swapped since childhood, and she lived a life of luxury while Xu Jinyu lived a miserable life. Or maybe the family favors her, the fake daughter, and it can be explained that they treat her, the real daughter, badly.
But it is obvious that the two of them have the same status in the mansion! What is there for her to be jealous of?
So Xu Muhua didn't think of this.
It was not until she accidentally heard Xu Nan's joke that day that she took it to heart.
Because the Duke and the Prince will come back to celebrate the New Year this year, Xu's mother started to pack and prepare early. She had expectations every day, and she even did many things herself.
Xu Muhua also ran over to help, and the two mother and daughter were busy, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
"Mom, sister, what are you doing?"
Xu Nan ran over excitedly.
Xu Muhua saw him and asked, "Didn't you say you had an appointment with friends to go to appreciate the autumn today? Why are you still here?"
Xu Nan curled his lips and said, "I've been left out." "
Then come and work together!"
Xu's mother didn't stop her when she heard her say that. There was no rule in the Duke of Cheng's mansion that boys didn't have to work. Otherwise, would the prince have to bring maids and servants with him to serve him when he arrived at the border?
Xu Nan joined in happily, and followed Xu Muhua with his sleeves rolled up, going in and out of the study to clean up. After all, the Duke and the prince would definitely use the study when they came back.
Usually, no one used the study, and the maids rarely cleaned the study. Xu's mother did it herself. As time went by, there would definitely be a lot of dust, and some books in the study also had to be moved out to dry.
While busy, Xu Nan suddenly thought of something and said heartlessly: "If the second sister sees this, she will be jealous again."
Xu Muhua is very sensitive about Xu Jinyu's affairs now, and asked: "Jealous of what?"
"It's the second sister. Last time we had a barbecue together during the autumn hunt, the second sister didn't want to join. Seeing that my eldest sister and I were having fun, she was unhappy and felt that we didn't treat her as a family. Big sister, you said that the second sister is very young, why does she like to think about things every day?"
What do you mean by not treating her as a family? They are originally a family. He really doesn't understand why the second sister has such an idea!
Last time during the autumn hunt, didn't he have a barbecue with the eldest sister and others on the second night? As a result, the second sister was really angry and said that he had clearly promised her that he would not have a barbecue again, but he didn't do it. He was confused and couldn't figure out what his second sister was thinking.
Xu Muhua asked, "Does Jinyu often say this?"
Xu Nan thought for a while and said, "Not often, but sometimes she gets jealous when she sees me and my eldest sister playing together."
He thought Xu Jinyu might just be having a bad temper, but Xu Muhua suddenly had an idea and seemed to have found a reason why Xu Jinyu was jealous of her and wanted to harm her.
Although this reason sounds a bit absurd, people's hearts are complicated. No one can control what others think.
Xu Muhua's eyes sparkled, and she said seemingly nonchalantly, "Jinyu is still young, and children like to fantasize. She will understand when she grows up. You are a boy, so you should give in to her more."
Xu Nan nodded, "Of course I know, don't worry, elder sister, I won't take what my second sister said to heart."
When Xu's mother came out of the study, she saw that the two of them had been standing there for a long time and hadn't even dried a basket of books. She was angry and amused, "Do you two want to help or make trouble? It's been half a day, and you haven't even dried a basket of books. I can't count on you. Your father and eldest brother are back!"
"Mom, Anan and I are talking about going to enjoy the autumn in two days!"
Xu's mother was stunned for a moment, "Why are you thinking about enjoying the autumn again? Didn't you say it was boring two days ago..."
"That was two days ago. Now I think it's very interesting, so let's go!"
Xu Muhua blinked and looked at Xu's mother expectantly.
Xu Nan also nodded beside her.
"This..."
"Let's call grandma too. It's not good for grandma to stay in the yard all the time. While the weather is good now, let's call grandma to join us!"
Without waiting for Xu's mother to agree, Xu Nan threw down a sentence: "I'll go ask grandma now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already a few feet away!
Xu's mother was amused. She hadn't agreed yet, but he ran to find the old lady first, definitely to coax the old lady to agree to go out.
There are only two grandsons in total, and one is away from her for a long time. Of course, the old lady dotes on the only grandson who is by her side. As long as Xu Nan asks, the old lady will agree.
Fortunately, Xu Nan was well educated by his mother and is not the kind of willful and spoiled young man, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble he would have caused.
With Xu Muhua's deliberate actions, Xu Jinyu didn't know about this until before departure.
She widened her eyes, "We are going out to enjoy the autumn, and you are ready to leave now?"
Her tone was full of doubt.
They only informed her when they were about to leave? Did they think of letting her go with them?
Especially after she knew that the old lady was going with them, she suddenly felt an irrepressible anger in her heart, and her eyes were stained with a deep gloom.
Li Ma Ma saw that she was so angry that her body was shaking slightly, her face was ashen, and she felt very distressed.
"Okay, Second Miss, don't be angry about this, it's not worth it! Maybe the eldest lady wanted to piss you off on purpose, you can't be fooled! If you really make yourself angry, wouldn't that be in her favor? She will be even more proud."
Li Ma Ma couldn't help but grumble in her heart.
The eldest lady is fine, but why did the Madam and the young master also follow suit, and no one told the second lady in advance. Now that they are about to leave, they only inform the second lady, how can there be time to pack up, isn't this deliberate?
No wonder the second young lady feels wronged and upset. Who wouldn't feel wronged and upset? Obviously the second young lady is the legitimate young lady of the Chengguo Mansion, but it seems that the eldest young lady is the biological daughter and the second young lady is not.
