Chapter 20
"Qianqian, you are helping me out of kindness and you haven't done anything wrong. There's no need to be so humble!"
Mrs. Huo, who has held a high position all her life, can't stand the timid look of women who are supposed to hold up half the sky.
She patted Mu Qianqian's hand helplessly, her eyes full of heartache.
I don’t know what kind of hardships this child has gone through at her mother’s house, and how many times she has been bullied. She is a good person, but she is so scared to come and cook on her own initiative.
It's really pitiful to look at.
"Qianqian, what you said makes it seem like I've bullied you before."
Mu Qingxuan made it clear, "You cooked the meal. If you really want to apologize, you shouldn't apologize to me, but to Wang Ma, whose job you took away."
Mu Qingxuan pointed at Wang Ma who was standing at the kitchen door and teased, "Look at you, Qianqian, you are so diligent. If I didn't know you, I would think you were going to take Wang Ma's job."
These days, being a nanny in a military compound, especially in a family with a good tradition like the Huo family, is almost like a stable job.
This kind of job is very popular no matter who it is.
Mu Qianqian was so eager to cook and clean that at first glance, it really seemed like she was stealing jobs from Wang Ma.
Aunt Wang stood stiffly at the kitchen door, wiping her hands on her apron, her eyes filled with embarrassment and dissatisfaction.
Mu Qianqian was stunned and looked very unhappy.
Doesn't Mu Qingxuan mean that she is just a nanny?
Mu Qianqian, who had never been belittled like this, was furious. However, she had to pretend to be at a loss in front of everyone and waved her hands hastily:
"Sister, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant."
"That's great. We haven't thought about changing the nanny yet." Cui Lirong stood at the stairs on the second floor, looking down at the pretentious Mu Qianqian, her face full of displeasure.
If it weren't for the fact that Old Madam Huo really liked her, Cui Lirong would have wanted to drive Mu Qianqian away immediately.
Cui Lirong still remembers the disappointed look on Mu Qianqian's face when Huo Changfeng was just out of danger.
When she thought of this, Cui Lirong felt so angry that her teeth itched.
As soon as she saw Cui Lirong, Mu Qianqian was like a mouse seeing a cat. She trembled even more violently and dared not say a word anymore.
After breakfast, Mu Qingxuan went into the kitchen and started picking vegetables, cutting meat, and preparing the dishes for lunch.
When Mu Qingxuan was making medicinal food, Wang Ma couldn't help, so after helping her prepare the dishes, she would leave the kitchen and go home to do the laundry and cleaning.
A small pot of chicken soup was bubbling, and the air was filled with a rich aroma.
Mu Qingxuan caught a glimpse of Mu Qianqian sneaking around the kitchen door, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.
The next second, she slapped her head and screamed, "Oops, I forgot to add one herb."
"Auntie Wang, please help me watch the fire. I'll be back soon."
"Hey!" Aunt Wang was wiping the blue and white porcelain vase on the antique display shelf. When she heard the shout, she just answered and saw Mu Qianqian had already gone in first.
"Sister, let me help you."
Mother Wang paused, speechless.
In the kitchen, Mu Qianqian looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to this side of the kitchen, she secretly opened the salt jar and poured out half of it.
Then she took out a small transparent bag from her pocket and poured the white particles inside into the salt jar again.
Finally, Mu Qianqian pretended nothing had happened, put the salt shaker back in its place, put away the transparent bag, and left the kitchen as if nothing had happened.
When Mu Qingxuan came back, she immediately saw the edible salt that Mu Qianqian had poured into the trash can.
The corners of her lips curled up into an arc that seemed like a smile, and she lamented how Mu Qianqian dared to do such a bold thing.
That half of the table salt was clearly poured into the trash can, making it hard to ignore.
Mu Qingxuan sneered and pretended nothing had happened. She processed the herbs she had brought and put them into another pot.
Mu Qianqian chatted with Mrs. Huo for a while. To be on the safe side, she slipped to the kitchen door under the pretext of going to the toilet.
She saw with her own eyes that Mu Qingxuan first picked up some soup with chopsticks, put it in her mouth to taste it, and then unknowingly scooped half a spoonful of salt from the salt jar and added it to the soup.
Mu Qianqian thought her plan was successful and was overjoyed. She went back to the living room and continued to make Old Mrs. Huo happy.
There was malice flashing in his eyes.
As lunch time arrived, Mu Qingxuan brought dishes to the table with sweat all over her forehead.
Mu Qianqian sat with Old Mrs. Huo next to the electric fan. She didn't feel the heat of midsummer at all. She felt refreshed all over, and there was not even a drop of sweat on her forehead.
She looked at Mu Qingxuan's embarrassed appearance, curled the corners of her mouth and smiled smugly.
Mu Qianqian coughed lightly: "Grandma, my sister is too tired to be alone, I will go to the kitchen to help."
"Okay, go ahead." Old Mrs. Huo looked kind.
As soon as Mu Qianqian arrived in the kitchen, she found that Mu Qingxuan had accidentally knocked over the salt jar, and most of the salt spilled out.
She was startled and her heart rose to her throat, fearing that Mu Qingxuan would discover the abnormality of the salt.
Mu Qianqian strode forward and helped clean up the messy table.
"Qianqian, you're here. Please help me get another bag of new salt." Mu Qingxuan bit her plump and rosy lips, her big eyes blinking, and her expression was very guilty and uneasy.
"Qianqian, please, can you please not tell grandma about this?" Mu Qingxuan hurriedly turned on the faucet, and the clear running water immediately washed the abnormal particles into the sewer. "Grandma already has a problem with me. If she knew that I wasted so much salt, she would definitely be even more angry with me."
Mu Qianqian looked at Mu Qingxuan's actions and almost couldn't control the wanton smile on her lips.
Even God is helping her!
Mu Qingxuan's mistake caused all the light yellow particles that Mu Qianqian had poured into the salt jar to spill out, and now they were washed away by Mu Qingxuan with water.
There was no trace left at the scene!
She readily agreed: "Of course, sister, I will definitely not let grandma know, we are sisters."
They are not real sisters!
When Mrs. Huo and Cui Lirong ate the poisoned salt and were sent to the hospital dying, she told them how Mu Qingxuan had murdered the whole family with poisoned salt and overturned the salt jar to destroy the bodies.
By then, Mu Qingxuan will definitely be killed by the Huo family.
He might even be arrested and imprisoned on charges of murdering important military personnel.
Mu Qianqian suddenly thought that these meals had to be sent to the hospital for Huo Changfeng to eat.
If Huo Changfeng ate the poisonous salt, he would have died on the spot as he was already seriously injured!
When Mu Qianqian thought about how things were gradually developing closer to her previous life, her whole body was shaking with excitement.
After serving the dishes, Wang Ma returned to the kitchen and asked eagerly, "Qingxuan, stop working and come eat."
Mu Qingxuan didn't even turn her head and said hurriedly, "Wait for me a little while, I'll stir-fry some potato shreds."
"Qianqian, Aunt Wang, you guys go eat first, don't worry about me."
Mother Wang hesitated to speak, and finally turned and left.
Mu Qianqian said hypocritically: "Sister, don't work too hard."
Before leaving, she glanced at the shredded potatoes in the pot again and thought:
Of all the dishes on the table today, only this dish of shredded potatoes is safe to eat.
