Chapter 193: Bad Intentions
With Huanxiang's company, Zou felt much happier and more satisfied with her. Unfortunately, they would arrive in Liuhe Town tonight and stay in the town, which also meant that Huanxiang would leave.
"Huanxiang." Zou held Huanxiang's hand, "I really don't want you to leave."
"Madam, I'm sorry to never see you again." Huanxiang's eyes were red. "After my mother left, no one has been so close to me anymore."
Zou's heart was touched, but she didn't want to keep a maid by her side now. It was not appropriate and not necessary. The only way to keep her was Qin Feng.
When they arrived at Liuhe Town, Huanxiang originally thought that Qin Xiangnuan wanted to drive her away, but she never expected that it was Old Madam Qin who brought it up first.
"Miss Huanxiang, you've worked hard following us these past few days." Old Madam Qin smiled and glanced at Madam Zou. "What a pity."
Zou didn't understand what this look meant, and thought it was to leave an illusory fragrance, so she wanted to open her mouth.
Ying Niang had been following Old Madam Qin for so long, and she had no business getting involved in the matter. She could see clearly that this girl was not someone Qin Feng could control, and she was also following Old Madam Qin's orders.
"Miss, the old lady asked the third lady to prepare some silver early in the morning and asked me to give it to Miss Huanxiang." Ying Niang ordered her to leave before Zou could try to keep her.
Zou's expression changed, but she did not object to Madam Qin's behavior.
Huanxiang didn't hear Zou say anything, so she let her go reluctantly and thanked Madam Qin with her eyes lowered.
"No need, it's just a piece of cake." Old Madam Qin said, "A woman should find a good family when she's away from home. Liuhe Town seems to have simple folk customs and is a good place."
"The old lady is right." Huanxiang raised her lips.
After arriving at the residence, Huanxiang left without meeting Qin Feng before leaving. Qin Feng didn't care at all whether this person stayed or left.
"Grandma really sees it clearly." Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help but praise after knowing it.
Liu was puzzled. "I think Miss Huanxiang is quite nice. Why do you say that?"
Old Madam Qin could see that something was wrong, and Liu thought that the other party had experienced many years. How did Qin Xiangnuan know that?
"I don't see anything wrong." Qin Xiangnuan thought for a moment and reflected on herself, "It's just my one-sided feeling, but since grandma said so, it must be that the other party has done something and has been discovered."
Liu nodded, accepting this explanation, but still had some doubts.
However, the next day, she also understood the inexplicable suspicion.
"Illusionary fragrance?"
Everyone got up early to hurry on their journey, and it was still daybreak when they headed for the carriage. So when Zou discovered that the person she was looking at from afar was actually Huanxiang when she got closer, she couldn't help but be amazed.
"Madam." Huanxiang seemed to have stayed here all night, and her hair was a little wet.
"How come you've become like this after just one night apart?" Zou quickly pushed Qin Feng, who was supporting her, away and helped Huanxiang up. "What suffering have you endured?"
It turned out that he had encountered robbers last night and all his belongings were taken away. "I just took advantage of the things that the Third Miss gave me."
Zou shook her head, "People are important, money is just external things."
Seeing how well Zou was treating Huanxiang, Qin Feng said to Qin Xiangnuan with some jealousy, "Is my mother trying to find another daughter for herself?"
Qin Feng's clueless behavior made Qin Xiangnuan laugh out loud, "Second Aunt will probably want to beat you again if she hears this."
"What I said is true. Beibei has been neglected in the past two days." Qin Feng sighed.
Qin Xiangning in Qin Xiangnuan's arms was still unconscious. He rubbed Qin Xiangnuan's neck in a daze. When he heard someone calling him, he called out "Mom" in a daze.
"Look." Qin Feng pursed his lips and looked at Zou, "My mother must have forgotten Beibei."
Qin Xiangning hummed again, and Qin Feng stroked her head and coaxed her back to sleep.
"Who is Second Aunt doing this for?" Qin Xiangning said quietly, "Some people don't appreciate it, and they even feel resentful."
"Me?"
Qin Xiangnuan just smiled and said nothing. Qin Feng was confused and muttered to himself, "What does this have to do with me?"
Huanxiang's reappearance made Liu stare at her all the way, trying to see something.
"Madam, is there something foreign on my face?" Huanxiang seemed to finally be unable to bear it and turned to ask Liu.
"Ah?" Liu was frightened when she suddenly saw Huanxiang's eyes.
Madam Qin came to Liu's rescue. "She has always been soft-hearted. Seeing you so pitiful, she couldn't help but want to help you."
"Yes." Liu quickly took over the conversation, "I was lost in thought just now. Did I scare you?"
"No." Huanxiang shook her head and smiled, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Madam."
Liu didn't dare to stare at anyone anymore, and she didn't dare to look over here. Suddenly she realized that there was no one in the carriage. "Where's Beibei?"
"For some reason, Feng'er didn't let me take Beibei with me today and put her in Nuannuan's car." said Zou.
Liu nodded to show that she understood. Qin Xiangning was still reassuring around Qin Xiangnuan.
But Qin Xiangnuan was not very confident about her teeth. Just now when Qin Xiangning laughed, Qin Xiangnuan saw a suspicious black color, as expected.
After prying open Qin Xiangning's mouth, Qin Xiangnuan saw the black hole at a glance.
"Beibei, you can't eat candy anymore." Qin Xiangnuan's face turned serious. "Your teeth have been eaten by worms."
"No." Qin Xiangning protected the candies and chocolates that had just fallen into her hands, feeling particularly reluctant to part with them. "Big sister, Beibei wants to eat candy."
"But your teeth are broken?" Qin Xiangnuan took out a mirror, showed her the black teeth, and described the situation as very serious.
Qin Xiangning was frightened and returned the treasure with great reluctance.
"Beibei, be good. Big sister will give you some food." Qin Xiangnuan was very pleased. Qin Xiangning really was well-behaved and cute.
With a substitute, the child's mood soon passed, and by noon, she missed her mother.
"I'll take you to find it." Qin Xiangnuan had just taken the person off the carriage when Qin Feng came over.
"My mother said she missed Beibei and insisted that I take her back." Qin Feng had no choice but to take the child from Qin Xiangnuan and left.
Qin Feng planned to drop Qin Xiangning off and leave, but was stopped by Zou, "Eat with us today."
Before he could open his mouth to refuse, Old Madam Qin helped Qin Feng out of the predicament, and Qin Feng left happily.
"He is right next to me, but I only see him a few times every day." Zou complained to Huanxiang.
Huanxiang gently persuaded, "Mr. Qin is a man of great things, he shouldn't be constrained."
"That's true." Zou was happy.
Old Madam Qin breathed a sigh of relief. Huanxiang was a smart person. After following them, she never mentioned Qin Feng on her own initiative. Instead, it was Zou who brought up Qin Feng every time.
Now Huanxiang didn't do anything out of line, so Old Lady Qin couldn't say some things. Seeing Qin Xiangning sitting there doing nothing, Old Lady Qin asked him to come over.
"Great-grandmother!" Qin Xiangning called out sweetly, making Old Madam Qin very happy.
