Chapter 312 Junior
Xia Daohua poked her head out from the crumpled quilt in the corner at the foot of the bed, and Helan Yue was immediately startled.
Although Xia Daohua is not fat, she is not very thin either. How could she hide in that corner without being noticed?
Just now, neither Nanny Song, who was coming in aggressively, nor myself, who was full of worry, noticed that there was actually someone hiding in the corner!
Xia Daohua smiled sheepishly, revealing a shy expression:
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now and hid myself."
Helan Yue and Xia Daohua were actually not very familiar with each other and had only met a few times in total.
But because of Xie Fanglan's matter, Helan Yue had an unconscious partiality and softness towards Xia Daohua. This time, the reason why she helped Xia Daohua even though she knew it might cause trouble was out of the same mentality.
What's more, Xia Daohua is someone Li Gan trusts. He Lanyue feels that whether for the sake of Xie Fanglan or for Li Gan's sake, she can't just watch Xia Daohua get into trouble.
Seeing Xia Daohua like this, she sighed and didn't ask any further questions.
No matter what method Xia Daohua used, it was always a good thing to avoid their sight.
If Helan Yue had not fallen out with the Third Wife, she would still be a guest of honor in the Murong family.
Even if she offended Nanny Song, the old woman would definitely slander her in front of the Third Madam. But since the "thief" that the old woman was looking for was not found on the spot, the Third Madam had to maintain her politeness and courteousness even if she was a little suspicious of her.
The Murong family is certainly a well-known and powerful family, and the Helan family is no unknown family either.
The reason why the Third Madam dared to covet Xia Daohua's shop was because she knew that Li Gan had always been at odds with the Li family. In addition, she heard that Li Gan had recently fallen out of favor, so the only family she could rely on was the Murong family.
What Li Gan does every day is often taking risks, and he may fall into fatal danger at any time...
Since the Murong family gave him shelter, it would not be too unusual to ask him for one or two properties.
In addition, any item in Xia Daohua's shop is related to more than one secret recipe and involves more than one source of income...
The third wife is notoriously greedy and audacious, so how could she remain indifferent?
In just a few words, Helan Yue's mind raced and she had figured out the Third Madam's thoughts.
Helan Yue was right.
The third wife had long been drooling over the "rice fragrance" of summer rice flowers.
Before, because of Li Gan, I didn't dare to take action.
This time, after Xia Daohua taught the short-sighted members of the Murong family a lesson, the Third Wife took advantage of the situation and gave Xia Daohua and Li Gan a lot of flirtations in front of the Third Master.
After several attempts, it turned out that the third master listened to her advice to Xia Daohua to some extent - at least he no longer got angry with her because she complained about Xia Daohua.
But once she mentioned Li Gan, the third master's face would become extremely ugly, and he would scold her mercilessly.
In fact, the Third Wife also knew in her heart that Li Gan’s mother was the apple of the eye of the whole family in the Murong family. She was many times more favored than Murong Xian and Murong Jing today.
In addition, this sister-in-law got married early and died early, so everyone in the Murong family felt that they owed her and did not care enough about her when she was alive.
Of the one son and one daughter she left behind, Li Gan was the only one left.
These masters of the Murong family wanted to beat Li Gan to death, so why would they bother with him over a shop?
The most crucial thing is that Li Gan, a child who was only twelve years old, dared to give up the wealth of the Marquis's Mansion for the sake of his sister and ran away to start his own business. He would rather suffer than go along with his stepmother, but instead exposed the fact that his stepmother had killed his sister.
Several male members of the Murong family felt that this nephew was like themselves to the core - the way he tried his best to protect his sister made it obvious that he was from the Murong family!
Moreover, Li Gan did what the other men of the Murong family had not done. The other men of the Murong family had wanted to point their finger at Dongxiang Bo and scold him for a long time. However, he did not want his wife to die, and doing so would inevitably give the emperor the impression that he was being unreasonable...
Although Li Gan did not utter a single dirty word when he ran away from the Togo Earl's mansion, he was slapping the Togo Earl in the face in front of all the dignitaries in Kyoto.
When the news first came through, the men of the Murong family all got drunk.
The Murong family and the Dongxiang Marquis's Mansion had almost no contact since the Dongxiang Marquis married a second wife. Li Gan had not held any hopes for the Murong family at first, but after he set up his own family, the Murong family gave him the most support, not only did the emperor give him a break, but he also gave him a house and a job.
So Li Gan resumed contact with the Murong family. Although they did not have much contact on weekdays, the people of the Murong family told Li Gan more than once that they could trust them with anything.
So far, Li Gan has never asked them to do anything.
Therefore, although the Third Master had some prejudices against Xia Daohua due to the Third Madam's pillow talk and Shangjia's continuous output of singing, reciting, acting and fighting, he still did not let the Third Madam touch the store - because Li Gan had written letters to the Murong family and had also delivered messages to the Murong family.
The third wife was quite angry.
But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't do it for the bottom line of the Murong family men. Otherwise, even if he got a fortune, it would still be a loss in the end.
So the third wife planned to save the country in a roundabout way and start with Xia Daohua.
She tried her best and conducted an in-depth investigation on Xia Daohua, but the more she investigated, the more confused she felt.
This little girl didn't seem to be anything special at first. The only reason she got to know Li Gan was because Li Gan stayed overnight at her house.
It was not until she heard the news that Li Gan was missing in Bohai County that she made up her mind to take action against Xia Daohua. And the breakthrough point she chose was not elsewhere, but "Puji Rescue".
The Third Wife felt so angry that her teeth were itching when she thought that Xia Daohua had spare money to give to those homeless beggars, and those women who were driven out of their families because of one stain or another, and were unwilling to pay gifts to the Murong family and honor her.
Of course, when encountering floods or droughts, the Murong family would also set up a porridge stall to give out porridge, but that was done openly, and the porridge could be made with old grains or mixed with sand...
How could it be like her, Xia Daohua, who used the best grain to help those lower class people and was reluctant to even add any sand or soil?
Isn't this just too much money to burn?
Even though she had so much money, she didn't seem to appreciate the Murong family's kindness. She even charged money every time when people bought things in her store! Although she said she would give a discount and let them make some profit, how could she treat her employer like this?
The third wife felt that Li Gan's shop and its owner should recognize the Murong family as the owners.
After all, Li Gan himself is a junior in the Murong family!
