Chapter 288 Control



"Just wait, do you really expect the master and madam to wait for you? Don't you know who you are?"

Shen Hua: "I know my own identity, but I don't know yours."

The maid choked, unsure what to say, but still remained defiant, refusing to back down.

Shen Hua almost laughed when she saw her like this.

The young maid was a good girl, but she became somewhat arrogant and complacent under the influence of such an environment.

It seems that the so-called master and mistress are not good people. Zhang Yutian and Zhu Feng are playing themselves. As for Jia Jue, he should be a timid and cowardly person who dares not disobey his parents' wishes too much.

Otherwise, Xie Sichen's injuries wouldn't have worsened after he uttered just two words.

"Just wait, that's what the master and mistress want."

After the maid finished speaking, she ran away, leaving Chen Hua standing there alone.

Standing here was not feasible, so she spotted a tree, climbed up in a few strides, and leaned against it to observe the situation inside the mansion.

The Jia family's house wasn't very big, only two or three times larger than the others. The tree wasn't tall, but Shen Hua could see the busy figures outside from the top.

This is the perfect time to go to the fields, so many people get up early, carry their farm tools, and head to the fields.

I don't know whether I should be glad that I don't have to work in the fields.

After watching for a while, there was movement in the room, and Shen Hua climbed down from the tree and stood there.

I have a feeling that Zhang Yutian and Zhu Feng definitely don't know who they are.

Soon, the door to the room opened, and Zhang Yutian's head appeared. When she saw her waiting outside, she gave a cold snort before going in and sitting down.

Since they didn't speak, Chen Hua didn't move either.

"Come in!" This time it was a male voice, undoubtedly Zhu Feng.

Shen Huacai walked in and stood in front of the two people.

Sure enough, they did not show any surprise when they saw her.

"What are you still looking at? Kneel down and serve us tea."

Shen Hua: "I came here to tell you that we'll let today's matter go, but there shouldn't be any more of this when we serve tea in the morning."

"Who gave you the audacity to negotiate with us like this? Don't think you can enjoy yourself just because you're in our house. I'm telling you, no way. If you do this again, I'll have my son divorce you."

Such words would have been a death sentence for women in the past, but they did not frighten Shen Hua herself.

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Madam Jia became even angrier, as did Master Jia, who slammed his fist on the table in anger as he looked at Chen Hua.

"How dare you! A country girl is a country girl, she has no manners whatsoever."

Chen Hua: ...

They make it sound like they're very well-mannered.

If someone is well-mannered, how could they possibly make things difficult for a young woman?

She was blind, but she was still a minor.

"Look what this is!"

Shen Hua took out something, which immediately attracted the attention of the two of them.

"What is this? It looks yellowish. Don't think that you're safe just because you've brought this out. What good stuff could a country girl like you possibly have?"

They said one thing, but their actions were quite different. They took them directly, one for each person to examine, and before long, the items disappeared from their bodies.

Their gazes became vacant, then they stood up and knelt before Shen Hua.

She said it herself! It's a small matter, it's just that the talisman is a bit useless, and she doesn't know how long it will last for ordinary people.

But that should be enough until they leave.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Yes, it's because our son came home distraught and said he wanted to marry Mu Xiaoyu. He threatened to starve himself if we didn't agree. He was very insistent and even prepared to die. In addition, a Taoist priest said that Mu Xiaoyu could bring good fortune to our son, so we agreed."

"Since you've agreed, why make things difficult for Mu Xiaoyu?"

"The Taoist priest said that once we marry her, that's all that matters. What happens after that is not our concern. He also said that if we want to marry someone, we should wait until Mu Xiaoyu dies. We'll use this opportunity to make our son give up on Mu Xiaoyu, and then torture her to death. That way, we can kill two birds with one stone."

So that's how it is. How ruthless! They were used without any grudge or enmity. It's truly vicious.

The method was proposed by that Taoist priest, which means that the Taoist priest was the most vicious.

Taoist priest, Taoist priest, I don't know if he's just using the name or if he really has some skills.

No matter what, we still have to meet up, but not now. Right now, let's focus on getting ourselves together first.

"I understand. You can do whatever you need to do for the rest of the time. Let me know if you have any news about the Taoist priest."

"Yes, Master."

Shen Hua got up and left. Halfway there, she saw Xie Sichen playing Jia Jue, who was being led in one direction by a maid.

Upon seeing the painting, they stopped moving and waited for it to pass by.

Shen Hua lived up to expectations and went over. She could see the fleeting disdain in the little maid next to Xie Sichen.

Okay! She's used to it now and isn't that petty anymore.

"I'm going to have my meal now, do you want to come with me?"

Upon hearing about food, how could Shen Hua possibly refuse? She absolutely agreed.

"Go, of course I'll go."

When the two arrived at the dining area, food had already been laid out: three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup. This was quite a good meal.

Shen Hua didn't stand on ceremony and started eating as well.

Xie Sichen ate very politely, which made Shen Hua look rather unattractive in comparison.

Thankfully, the maid left during the meal, otherwise she would definitely have been given that look again.

I don't know what benefit they get from looking at her like that, otherwise they wouldn't go to such lengths to watch over her.

"I just found out why Jia Jue married Mu Xiaoyu, it's because..."

Shen Hua recounted the information she had just obtained from Master Jia and Madam Jia.

Xie Sichen nodded and said, "The day after tomorrow is the day of the bride's return visit. I guess Mu Xiaoyu's parents might also be acquaintances."

Shen Hua had the same idea, but since there were quite a few people coming in, she didn't know where the rest of the people had gone.

We have to find them one by one before we can figure out how to get back.

"Oh no, we'd better go back now. I'm worried that the person from yesterday might do something to Mu Xiaoyu's family."

After being reminded, the two realized what was happening, and after finishing their meal, they made an excuse to leave and headed to Mu Xiaoyu's house.

Shen Hua only knew a little bit of the way from the bridal sedan chair; she didn't know the rest of the way. Fortunately, Xie Sichen did.

The two of them were both quite fast, and they soon arrived at Mu Xiaoyu's house.

It consisted of three very small and dilapidated mud-brick houses; after just a few glances, a lot of dust fell down.

It gives you the feeling that once someone moves in, the house could collapse at any moment.

At this moment, an old man came out carrying a basket of something that was unknown.
