The people around her did not suspect Gu Yuanniang, because she looked too much like a woman who had been kept in seclusion and had never seen such things. It was no wonder that the people around her let down their guard.
Fortunately, Gu Yuanniang was carefully observing the horse in front of her, but when she got closer, she smelled a strange scent of vanilla, and she felt a little curious.
The people behind her thought she had just lost the game so they wanted to observe her more carefully, but they just laughed and looked at the person in front of them.
"Mr. Li, what does this horse usually eat?" Gu Yuanniang asked casually.
The man was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw that there was no extra emotion in Gu Yuanniang's eyes, the man did not think much about it. He felt that a lady like Gu Yuanniang would not understand these things.
With a slight smile, the man looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Madam Gu, the horses here all eat the same food. They all eat the best quality hay bought in the county. We will never treat them differently."
Gu Yuanniang smiled sweetly, and did not take the man's words to heart. Instead, she looked at him and said, "I don't disbelieve you, but this horse smells like medicinal herbs."
It was not until he heard Gu Yuanniang say this that the man's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Gu Yuanniang with some ill intentions: "Maybe my lady must have smelled it wrong."
"Whether it's wrong or not, we can find out by finding someone to help check it."
Staring at Gu Yuanniang, seeing her serious look, the man began to get a little scared: "Madam Gu, what do you mean? Since you doubt us so much, then we don't want to do business with you anymore. Please leave now. I won't do business with you anymore."
Gu Yuanniang smiled sweetly, looking at the man in front of her without any nervousness, as if she had seen through their plan: "It's not up to you to decide whether to do it or not."
He gave a look to the outside, and the person behind him immediately nodded, turned around and left. He naturally understood what Gu Yuanniang meant.
Gu Yuanniang in front of him was completely different from before. She used to look like a lady staying in seclusion, but now she suddenly seemed very smart. Xiao Li swallowed fearfully but still pretended to be calm. They have been using this plan for so long and have never seen anyone discover it. This Gu Yuanniang seemed to be only smart on the surface. Who knows whether what she said was true or false.
"Madam, Madam Gu asked me to call you."
"oh?"
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she paused, looked at the sleeping child in her arms, put her in the cradle, touched Xu Xi's head, and softened her tone: "Xiao Xi, you stay here with Nian Miao. If you don't understand something, ask the maid outside to help you, okay?"
Staring at the well-behaved child in the cradle, Xu Xi nodded seriously, and then he focused his eyes on Xu Miaomiao: "You, you have to be careful."
Xu Miaomiao was amused by her serious look: "Don't worry, I'm just going to see Liu Niang. Besides, we have so many people here, nothing will happen."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao so determined, Xu Xi nodded slightly, grinned, and looked at the child in her arms. She would definitely take good care of Xu Xi and would never let Xu Xi cry.
Although he thought so, as soon as Xu Miaomiao left, the child in the cradle suddenly opened his eyes and blinked. Perhaps because he didn't see the face he wanted to see, Xu Nianmiao actually pouted his lips, as if he was about to cry at any time.
Seeing her aggrieved look, Xu Xi was actually a little scared, and hurriedly rocked the baby in the cradle gently. Unexpectedly, Xu Nianmiao cried even harder.
Xu Xi suddenly panicked and looked at the child at a loss.
"That's it?"
Hearing the crying, Song Weiwei immediately poked her head out, looked at the two of them and spoke. Seeing Xu Xi who was at a loss on the side, she stepped forward, took Xu Nianmiao out and coaxed her.
She coaxed the eldest child when he was a child, she coaxed the second child when he was a child, she coaxed the youngest child when he was a child. Now she thought she was finally done with it, but who would have thought that Xu Nianmiao would come. She was so young, yet she could coax children so easily.
Seeing that Xu Nianmiao stopped crying, Xu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You have to learn how to coax a child in the future, okay?"
Seeing Xu Xi nodding obediently, Song Weiwei finally smiled with satisfaction. With Xu Xi, she might be able to get rid of the life of having to coax a child every day.
There was constant commotion at home, and Xu Miaomiao was not idle either. After receiving the order from Gu Yuan's mother, she immediately rushed to the horse farm.
Gu Yuanniang was also feeling uncomfortable. The man in front of him could see that Gu Yuanniang really didn't plan to participate in the competition today, so his attitude became cold. He said to the woman in front of him in dissatisfaction: "Since Madam Gu is no longer willing to participate in our competition, please leave quickly and don't disturb me from doing business."
"Oh, this is so unreasonable of you. You said you cheated me out of five hundred taels of silver, and you're just kicking me out like that?"
The question made the person in front of him speechless. Xiao Li wanted to refute, but his heart was weak. He stared at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Madam Gu, you have to use evidence when speaking. You want to frame me without any evidence and say that I cheated you of your money. I won't admit it. Besides, we have already signed a contract before, and you volunteered to take these silver coins. No matter what, even if you bring it to the county magistrate, I will never admit it."
After hearing this, Gu Yuanniang was not in a hurry. Instead, she looked closely at the group of horses in front of her. She just wanted to make sure that nothing unexpected happened to the horses. When Miaomiao came, she would definitely know what the horses had eaten.
Seeing that Gu Yuanniang was still standing there, Xiao Li became a little angry. He looked at her and immediately said, "Madam Gu, you are not leaving, are you?"
"So what?"
"In that case, don't blame me for being rude."
The man now put away his previous gentle face and his teeth were grinding.
"Someone, get this woman out of here."
As soon as the order was given, the horse-watching boys around became eager to move and walked towards Gu Yuanniang.
"Let's see who dares!"
Suddenly a voice was heard, and both of them were attracted by the voice. Xu Miaomiao walked slowly towards them, and the aura around her startled the horses next to them.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Li naturally had never met Xu Miaomiao. His horse farm was located outside, so he naturally didn't know much about the things happening in Bai County.
