Liu Juan seemed to be suddenly intimidated by Xu Miaomiao's appearance. She took two steps back in fear. Xu Miaomiao smiled contemptuously and was about to close the door, but she heard a rustling sound from behind.
I saw the two tiger cubs woke up at some point and kept digging their way under the quilt, revealing their cute little heads.
Liu Juan looked through the gap and when she saw it was a tiger cub, she was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground, her pupils filled with disbelief.
Xu Miaomiao looked at her and said, "Madam Liu, why don't you leave? Do you have anything else to say to me?"
When Liu Juan heard this, she also reacted and nodded immediately: "I, I'll leave now."
After that, she staggered away in a hurry. After all, she had just seen two tigers. If it was true, how could she dare to stay any longer? Although the tigers did not harm Xu Miaomiao, they might not do anything to her. Liu Juan fled in panic, but she tossed and turned that night and could not sleep. She was always worried that the two tigers would suddenly run out and bite someone. What if? "
Perhaps because she had been worrying about this matter, Liu Juan, who could usually sleep until noon, got up early and wandered around the mansion.
In Bai County, raising such a ferocious beast is a serious crime. If this matter could be exposed, how would Xu Miaomiao live in this county in the future? Thinking of this, Liu Juan smiled slightly. It was obvious that she already had a plan in her mind. She put on some makeup as usual and went to pay her respects to Madam Zhang.
Because the previous incident was really excessive, Xu Miaomiao was too lazy to watch Gu Yuanniang and Xu Qingshan worry about these things, so she simply cleared out a yard for Madam Zhang to live in, right next to Liu Juan's yard, which made it convenient for her to look after Liu Juan from time to time.
Liu Niang, there is no need for her to trouble herself here. She and Xu Qingshan can naturally take good care of Gu Yuanniang. Seeing Liu Juan coming to see her early in the morning with a bulging belly, Madam Zhang was also very happy. She immediately took his hand and sat down beside him, and the two of them started to eat breakfast together.
"You are so sensible. I wish I had a wife like you. I would be so lucky. Even though you are pregnant, you shouldn't not come to pay your respects once. But you still come to see me even though you are pregnant. You are so thoughtful."
When Liu Juan heard this, she smiled slightly and nodded to Madam Zhang: "Madam, please don't say that. My sister must have been delayed by something. I believe that Sister Gu must be thinking about you. You don't have to mind it. After all, my sister lost a child before. Now this child must be taken care of carefully. Mr. Xu, who stays by my sister's side every day, probably doesn't want to bother you."
Madam Zhang didn't know why she got even more angry after hearing this. She threw the rice in her bowl in anger and said, "I don't know what my son likes about Gu Yuanniang. He is so obsessed with that woman that he didn't even come to see his own mother when she moved in. It's really too much. I must have a good talk with him. How can he forget his mother just because he has a wife?"
Aunt Zhang said in dissatisfaction. Liu Juan smiled slightly when she heard this, but still added a piece of white jade cake in front of her and put it in Aunt Zhang's bowl and said, "Don't be angry, Aunt Zhang. Come on, eat a piece of white jade cake!"
"You are still sensible." Mrs. Zhang, hearing what he said, smiled at him and nodded.
"By the way, have you ever seen a tiger, madam?"
Liu Juan looked at Madam Zhang with some joy. Madam Zhang immediately smiled and groaned. She almost fell backwards. She looked at Liu Juan and said, "How could I, a woman in seclusion, have seen those things? Besides, our Xu family is a famous family after all. We have been living in the capital. How could we have seen such a ferocious beast? But you are talking about tiger paws. I have had the honor of tasting them once. The taste is really unforgettable. It is also a good tonic. When we return to the capital, I will get you one so that you can taste it."
"Then I would like to thank you first, madam."
Liu Juan leaned forward slightly. Aunt Zhang seemed to be worried about the baby in her belly and quickly called her to sit down. However, Liu Juan didn't take it seriously and smiled at him: "It's strange to say, I don't know if it was a nightmare last night or what, I walked to the backyard in a daze and saw two little tigers in Madam Xu's room. It was really surprising and scared me, but I always feel that this is not a dream, after all, it is too real."
When Madam Zhang heard this, she looked at her and said, "You really saw a tiger, don't be ridiculous. This is in Bai County, and in such a large mansion, how could there be such a ferocious beast?"
"Maybe I'm a little shortsighted." Liu Juan said, waving her handkerchief, and continued: "I just don't know what's wrong with Madam Xu and Mr. Song? They actually moved to that wing room last night. Maybe after I got pregnant with this child, I really thought too much and even imagined such a thing."
When Madam Zhang heard this, she paused her chopsticks and glanced at Liu Juan. After all, she was also a woman from a distant past, so how could she not understand the hidden meaning of Liu Juan's words? She immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks, tidied herself up, stood up, looked at Liu Juan and said, "Madam Xu is Gu Yuanniang's family after all. Since we are living in their Song Mansion, of course we have to go. Thank her and thank them for taking care of us these days. Hurry up and eat a few bites, then come with me."
When Liu Juan heard this, she followed behind Aunt Zhang. She also knew that Aunt Zhang must have become suspicious at this moment and wanted to spy on her. After all, raising such a ferocious animal in this county is a serious crime. No wonder Xu Miaomiao had to do it secretly.
Liu Juan smiled slightly. He wanted to see how Xu Miaomiao would deal with this situation. The two of them immediately came to the backyard.
The deserted backyard didn't look like anyone lived there. Liu Juan frowned slightly, smiled awkwardly, and said to Madam Zhang, "We got up early when we came. Madam Xu probably slept late last night and hasn't gotten up yet. I'll go knock on the door."
Madam Zhang snorted in dissatisfaction when she heard this, and continued, "It's been so long, and she still hasn't gotten up. Why should she run a shop? How can she continue to run it like this? Her husband has gone out, and she is still lying in bed."
