As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, all the servants of the Mu family returned to their hometowns.
Unfortunately, the old lady happened to be visiting her parents' home during those days.
Upon hearing this, she immediately called back and told Mu Lian not to go to work for the next few days and to stay home to take care of Rong Shang.
A country bumpkin like him, expecting a young lady to serve him?
Mu Lian immediately refuted the old lady upon hearing this.
But to everyone's surprise, the old lady said that if she didn't do this, she wouldn't get a single penny starting this month.
Mu Lian must have panicked when she heard that.
In my haste, I naturally agreed.
But she was unwilling.
On the first morning, when Rongshang woke up, she took it upon herself to say that she would fetch water for her to wash her face.
As a result, billowing white smoke rose up, and Rong Chang immediately realized how high the water temperature was.
"That's fine, Second Sister-in-law."
A woman's somewhat shrill voice came from beside her. Rong Shang turned her head slightly, "Have you tested the water temperature?"
"I've tried it." Mu Lian rolled her eyes at her and reminded her, "I've already bought breakfast. Go downstairs to eat after you wash your face."
"Oh." Rong Shang nodded.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could still see her standing beside her.
that's all?
Rong Shang reached out and touched it.
"Sister-in-law, I don't know where the towel is."
"It's in the basin, I've put it in for you."
This Mu Lian was incredibly patient this morning.
He raised his lips, a half-smile playing on his lips.
Rong Chang deliberately stretched her hand to a position farther away from the basin.
"Little sister-in-law, where's the water basin?"
"..."
Mu Lian closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
I'll endure it!
"Come."
She took Rong Shang's hand and extended it towards the basin of water in front of her.
But for some reason, the woman suddenly grabbed her hand the next second.
!!
"Sister-in-law, could you please test the water temperature for me again? It feels a little too hot."
Before Mu Lian could react, Rong Shang grabbed her hand and pressed it directly into the basin of water.
moment.
"ah!"
The screams almost pierced her eardrums when they rang in her ears.
A mischievous smile played on Rong Shang's lips as she slowly withdrew her hand.
When I turned around, I saw Mu Lian clutching her wrist, throbbing with pain.
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much."
She poured boiling water inside.
The moment it was submerged, Mu Lian's fair and delicate hands were completely scalded red.
After that day, Mu Lian's resentment towards Rong Shang intensified.
She felt that Rong Shang was partly responsible for her burns.
So in the following days, she was always looking for an opportunity to trick Rong Shang whenever she had the chance.
But what's strange is that this person always manages to cleverly dodge it.
Isn't she blind?
Her eyesight was so good that she almost thought she was alright.
With this question in mind, Mu Lian deliberately told her that she had something to do and needed to go out first that afternoon.
Soon, about half an hour later.
After saying that, she left.
Then, as soon as she stepped out the door, she turned around and hid behind the door, secretly watching what was happening inside.
Mu Lian just wanted to see if Shen Qinghuan was truly blind or faking it.
However, for the next half hour, she stood at the door like a fool, letting the strong sunlight shine on her.
It was very hot, and Mu Lian raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Their gaze fell upon the villa.
There, the woman reached out her hand as if to grab some fruit from the table. Mu Lian watched as she fumbled around for a while before finally picking up an orange, peeling it, and eating it.
Was it just her imagination?
Mu Lian frowned, her scrutinizing gaze fixed on Rong Shang, never leaving her for a moment.
