Chapter 20: A Rare Sleep



Mu Shicang went to the main house to have breakfast with Old Master Mu, while Yang Shushu ate here in this small white building.

Today she and Chunxiao were here again. Without Mu Shicang here, Chunxiao showed her true nature again. She prepared breakfast for Yang Shushu, which was a bowl of instant noodles. Although Yang Shushu was quite curious why a wealthy family like the Mu family would have instant noodles, she was not picky. She often had instant noodles for breakfast in the past, so she could accept it.

After finishing breakfast, she habitually collected the dishes and wanted to wash them herself, but just as she picked up the dishes, she put them back and said to Chunxiao who was standing at the kitchen door: "Wash the dishes."

Chun Xiao didn't even raise his head, but just said casually: "It's just one bowl, wash it yourself."

"Okay, I can do everything myself anyway, so go away."

Yang Shushu stood up and walked directly in front of Chunxiao, reaching out to grab her phone. She was a little shorter than Chunwan, but that didn't affect her imposing manner. She raised her head slightly and looked into Chunxiao's angry eyes: "If you want to stay here, then do your job well. If not, get out immediately. You may doubt that I don't have this ability, but it's worth a try."

She had noticed yesterday that Mu Shicang did some things for Chunxiao to see, such as insisting on sleeping in the same room with her last night. There were only three of them here, so who was he doing it for?

Then Chun Xiao is most likely someone from the Mu family, who comes specifically to look after her, or she may be from Mu Shicang. Since she has a mission, she certainly cannot be driven away easily.

She just wanted to complain, "Mu Shicang, you only come back a few times a month, and most of the time you don't stay overnight. Anyone who's not a fool can see what's going on between you and your wife, right? What's the point of being like this?"

Chun Xiao was indeed a little hesitant. Although he looked at Yang Shushu with eyes that looked like he wanted to eat her, he still took the bowl from her hand and said, "Give me back the phone first."

Yang Shushu put the handle behind her back and said, "Work hard first, and return it when you've finished it."

"Madam, those are my personal belongings. You have no right to detain them." Chun Xiao looked at Yang Shushu with a fierce face. Yang Shushu used to be particularly afraid of her expression.

But this time she acted as if she hadn't noticed: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your personal belongings, and I won't look at your phone. I'll just watch you clean up here, and you can see me, right?"

Yang Shushu waved her phone at her: "Hurry up, sometimes you're just wasting time here with me. It's better to wash up and clean up early. Wouldn't you be happy to have the young mistress chatting with you here?"

She looked at Chunxiao with an expression that showed she was not willing to thank him quickly. Chunxiao frowned, glared at her, turned around to wash the dishes, and at the same time swore in her heart that she must get back what she had today.

However, Yang Shushu didn't care what she thought. She actually had her own purpose. She didn't know anyone in this Mu's house. In the past, it seemed that she only spent the most time with Chunxiao. Although she bullied her most of the time, they were relatively familiar with each other.

"Chunxiao, how many years have you been working at the Mu family?" She stood behind and watched Chunxiao wash dishes, chatting as if she were an ordinary friend.

Then she discovered something interesting. Chunwan's movements in washing dishes were very clumsy. She didn't look like someone who often worked as a servant. She was not even as skilled as her.

Chunxiao ignored her and rubbed the bowl hard as if she had a grudge against it.

Yang Shushu chuckled in the background and asked, "Chunxiao, you look so pretty and have a nice temperament. And just now I saw you playing a game in pure English. Your English is so good, did you study foreign languages ​​in college? Why do you want to be a maid? With your abilities, you should be able to find a better job, right? Are maids in the Mu family paid very well?"

Chunxiao paused in her work on the bowl and muttered, "It's none of your business."

"Okay, this is none of my business. But your length of service at the Mu family is definitely relevant to me. If you work there long enough, I can give you a raise."

Chun Xiao finally stopped arguing with the bowl. She turned around and sneered at her, "What qualifications do you have to raise my salary?"

"Oh? Then who has it? Mu Shicang? Or Old Master Mu? Or someone else?"

Chun Xiao's expression changed again, and he said coldly, "What's it to you?"

After she finished speaking, she put the bowl in the disinfection cabinet, but was stopped by Yang Shushu from behind: "Hey, you haven't wiped the water clean yet, why are you putting it in the disinfection cabinet?"

As she spoke, she had already come over, snatched the bowl away, returned her phone, took a piece of kitchen towel, wiped the bowl dry, and put it in the sterilizer.

Chun Xiao was watching her movements thoughtfully, and was caught by her when she turned around after putting down the bowl. She smiled and said, "Are you curious? I'm not afraid of you anymore."

Chunxiao curled her lips and said nothing, but Yang Shushu continued to talk to herself: "Haha, I didn't want to argue with you before, but after dying once, I suddenly realized that the less you argue, the more you get bullied. It's better to be a bit calculative. So, Chunxiao, now you have to be obedient. If you don't serve me well, I will make it a point."

She bared her white teeth at Chunxiao and suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen Old Master Mu hold a birthday banquet here?"

The topic changed so suddenly that Chunxiao obviously didn't get around to it. He just nodded slightly in agreement. Then he saw her eyes light up and he put his arm around her neck, asking like brothers, "Tell me, what was it like?"

………………………………

At the same time, Mu Shicang had finished his meal with Old Master Mu and was helping the old man take a walk in the yard. The old man was actually still very strong and didn't need any help at all, but he didn't object to his grandson's filial piety.

While breathing in the morning air and listening to the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, the grandfather and grandson started a conversation with someone.

"After returning from the hospital this time, I found that the girl from the Yang family has become different." In front of Old Master Mu's beloved grandson, she was less mysterious and profound than she was in front of outsiders. She looked more like an ordinary old man, but her eyes were still sharp.

Mu Shicang slowly followed the old man's steps forward, nodded, and said, "I understand what Grandpa means. Before getting married, I investigated and found that Yang Shushu definitely did not have twin sisters. I also discovered something strange about her when I was in the hospital. I took some of her blood after she woke up and compared it with her previous blood samples. It turned out to be the same person."

Mu Shicang spoke with considerable confidence, and Old Master Mu nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that you understand, but this girl has been so good at pretending over the past year, I think she's not a simple person, you better be careful in the future."

"Grandpa doesn't object to this marriage now?" Mu Shicang asked with a smile.

Old Master Mu looked up and glared at him: "Is it useful to object?"

Mu Shicang smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, Old Master Mu suddenly said, "By the way, you looked energetic when you came here this morning. Did you not have a nightmare last night?"
