Xu Xinghe pressed her face against the door and heard the footsteps fading away outside. Her initial fear vanished instantly.
Everything was under her control.
Xu Mingxin is very cunning and the most treacherous of the three brothers.
As the saying goes, you will judge others based on your own character.
If Xu Xinghe wasn't reborn, then she was just a spoiled young lady who knew nothing.
Therefore, Xu Mingxin would not suspect her, but only Xu Mingli.
This is why she chose to target Xu Mingyi first.
They used Xu Mingyi's past actions to set up a scheme, which then led the remaining two to become suspicious of each other.
Kill three birds with one stone!
Next, Xu Mingxin must be getting impatient.
He's not the passive type; he'll definitely take the initiative.
Thinking of this, Xu Xinghe picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
After a long while, the voice of the Xu family's old butler came from the other end, "Who is it?"
"Grandpa Wang, it's me. I need to ask you for a favor. Could you have a few people keep a close eye on Xu Mingxin and report back to me no matter what he does?"
The Xu family is large and powerful, so even if Xu Mingli and his family tried their best to get rid of the nanny and housekeeper, it was no use.
With just a word from her, many people will still pledge their loyalty to her.
However, just to be on the safe side, she didn't plan to use too much. The old housekeeper had watched her grow up and was the most trustworthy person.
"Yes, Miss, I'll arrange it right away."
I woke up the next day.
Xu Xinghe counted the grain and gave Xu Mingli an extra point with great satisfaction.
Xu Mingxin was incredulous and immediately stepped forward, "Xinghe, didn't I clearly have the most food?"
Xu Xinghe blinked her big, bright, dark eyes. "But Third Brother's grain is mostly old grain, while Eldest Brother's is all new grain. Oh right, I forgot to tell Third Brother, Eldest Brother gave me a gift before, so he has one more point than you now! But I don't want anything now, so how can I give you guys more points?"
Xu Xinghe tilted her head and said, "Then let's see which of my two older brothers gives me more gifts, so I can know who cares about me the most."
The money is all gone.
Next, they'll have to retrieve the things they secretly took from the Xu family.
After saying that, Xu Xinghe deliberately smiled brightly at Xu Mingli, "Big brother, you have to keep it up!"
Xu Mingli instantly felt confident of victory. "Yes, Xinghe, don't worry, your older brother will prove himself. In the future, your older brother will definitely love you like Father Xu does and cherish you like a precious gem."
Xu Mingxin clenched his fist.
It seems he can't delay any longer; he must get Xu Xinghe as soon as possible.
Just then, Xu Mingyi's situation gave him an idea, and he also decided to get on the bus first and buy the ticket later!
Xu Mingxin quickly went out and disappeared.
Xu Mingli had intended to take the opportunity to spend time with Xu Xinghe, but she managed to get him away. "Big brother, I was so scared yesterday that I didn't sleep a wink all night. I need to rest now. Oh, and I'd like to eat some rice cakes, from the old-established one. I'll be waiting for you."
That rice cake shop only makes two batches a day; if you don't line up early, you won't be able to buy any.
The next sale will be at 5 p.m.
Xu Mingli hurriedly went out to queue up. With victory in sight, he knew he absolutely could not give up, no matter how hard or tiring it was!
After the two left, Xu Xinghe quickly tidied up and went to the Lian family again.
Old Lian lay in bed, next to a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor he had known for many years.
"Old Lian, what kind of medicine did you take? It's so effective! In just one day and one night, your health has improved by more than half. You could live another ten or twenty years without any problem!"
Old Lian laughed heartily. He had noticed it yesterday: not only did he sleep well at night, but he also felt much better when he woke up in the morning, with no more chest tightness. In fact, he felt quite comfortable, and even his eyes were much clearer.
"Xinghe gave it to me. She said it was a family heirloom medicine from the Xu family. If I had known it was this good, I wouldn't have taken it all. I thought she was just trying to coax me with candy, but it turns out it's really good stuff."
Lian Xiao stood aside, thinking about what he had done yesterday, and suddenly felt a little irritated.
I never expected her to have such abilities.
If only I had helped her up then...
The nanny's voice suddenly rang out, "Mr. Lian, Miss Xu is here again."
The three of them turned around at the same time.
"Quick, let her in!"
Xu Xinghe entered the room and realized that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Why was everyone looking at her?
Old Master Lian liked her more and more as he looked at her, and beckoned, "Xinghe, come over here quickly."
"Grandpa Lian, are you feeling better?"
"I feel much better. The medicine you gave me yesterday was very useful. I should have kept some for myself. It's such a waste to give it to an old man like me."
Upon hearing his words, Xu Xinghe couldn't help but grin, her clear, bright eyes like a kitten's. "Grandpa Lian, it was all originally for you. As long as you're healthy, I'm at ease."
The dappled sunlight streamed through the window and shone on her little face.
The downy fibers seemed to be glowing.
Lian Xiao stared at it for a few seconds, then suddenly snapped back to reality and licked his teeth.
Tsk, this little girl... how come she's so sweet!
