Chapter 355 The Traitor Within
Mo Hua asked in confusion, "The shower gel is sold at Yue Shang Shao? I thought it was from the winery."
Siqin scolded her: "What an idiot! Miss said that this shower gel has the same function as soap, so it should be sold at the top of the moon. How can you sell it at a winery? It's not like it's food or drink."
Mo Hua pouted: "Well, I forgot, Miss. Look, Siqin bullied me."
"Alright, alright, you two are just like little kids. Don't tell my mother about me making this shower gel tonight, or she'll worry again."
Mo Hua also advised her, "Miss, you should also take care of yourself and get some rest. It's not just the old lady who's worried about you, we are too. Look how thin you've become recently. You can never earn enough money, but your health is your own responsibility. What's the use of having so much money if you don't have good health?"
It's quite surprising that Mo Hua, who usually seems so carefree, would say something like that.
Siqin was also surprised by Mo Hua's words: "Wow, Mo Hua has such insight. But Miss, what Mo Hua said is very true. You must take good care of your health and make sure nothing goes wrong."
After hearing what they said, Jiang Mi also felt a bit tired, so she stopped insisting. Anyway, she had plenty of time to study new things, so there was no need to rush.
Perhaps they had a hard life in their previous life, which is why they value money so much in this life.
"Okay, I understand. You guys should go back and get some rest too. I'm going to sleep now."
Hearing Jiang Mi say this, Mo Hua and Si Qin were very happy. After helping Jiang Mi to sleep, they quietly left.
"Mo Hua, you should go back to sleep first. I'll stay here with Miss."
Seeing the dark circles under Siqin's eyes, Mo Hua said with concern, "You should go to sleep too. I'll watch over things here. Miss said that we should help manage the two shops. We're already very busy. Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight recently."
Siqin smiled and said, "Miss trusts us, so of course I must do my best to fulfill the task assigned to me so as not to let her down."
“If you’re healthy, you can help Miss properly. Let’s go get some sleep. Zhuqing, you go keep watch over Miss. Just sleep on the couch outside. Miss is a light sleeper, so please don’t wake her up.”
Zhu Qing was thin and small, clearly a child from a poor family. The fact that she was able to work here was because the steward saw her pitiful background and wanted to help her.
"yes."
After Mo Hua and Si Qin left, Xue Lian walked up behind Zhu Qing and whispered, "Zhu Qing, I'll keep you company tonight. You go and get some rest."
Zhu Qing looked puzzled: "But Sister Mo Hua and Sister Si Qin just asked me to keep you company tonight, Miss. If I ask you to go in my place, won't the two sisters think I'm being lazy?"
Xue Lian comforted her, "No, you just had your period and you're not feeling well. You should rest. Both of you are very understanding and won't be angry."
Zhu Qing thought that her young lady and two older sisters had always been very kind to her, so asking Xue Lian to help her this once shouldn't be a problem.
"Alright then, you helped me this time, so I'll help you next time."
Xue Lian smiled and said nothing. She watched Zhu Qing leave and then went to Jiang Mi's room. After entering, she first glanced in Jiang Mi's direction. The gauze curtain was drawn, so she couldn't see the person inside, but judging from the sound of her even breathing, she must be asleep.
Instead of going up to the bed, she went to the table where Jiang Mi often studied soaps. There were many bottles and jars on it, which she couldn't understand at all, but each one smelled especially good.
After thinking for a while, she searched through the cabinet again, but found nothing inside. Finally, she decided to take some things with her. Just as she was packing, Jiang Mi on the bed suddenly woke up.
"Snow Lotus, what are you doing?"
Xue Lian was startled and dropped the jar, which shattered on the ground.
The noise was loud, and Siqin and Mohua, who were sleeping in the adjacent side room, rushed over when they heard it.
What happened?
When Xue Lian realized she had been discovered, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, bursting into tears and trembling all over.
"Xuelian, what are you doing in Miss's room? Where's Zhuqing?" Mohua asked curiously. "Didn't I tell Zhuqing to come and keep Miss company for the night? Don't you know you can't just enter Miss's private room like that?"
Xue Lian kept her head down and continued to cry, saying nothing.
Jiang Mi stepped forward and asked coldly, "Who sent you to steal my secret recipe?"
Siqin and Mohua were taken aback, never expecting that Xuelian would have such an idea.
Xue Lian's body trembled, but she still didn't say anything. Si Qin stepped forward, lifted her face, and scolded, "Speak! Miss has treated you well, so why are you treating her like this?"
"Where's Zhu Qing? Call Zhu Qing over here too!"
When Zhu Qing arrived, she was still half asleep, but when she saw the scene before her, she was immediately jolted awake.
"Miss, what's wrong with Miss?"
Siqin asked coldly, "What's wrong? I'd like to ask you what's wrong with you. I clearly asked you to come and keep the young lady company for the night, so why was it Xuelian who came instead of you?"
Zhu Qing never expected that she would make such a big mistake just by trying to be lazy, and she immediately knelt down.
"I'm sorry, Miss. I originally wanted to stay overnight, but I got my period today and wasn't feeling well, so Xue Lian helped me. I won't do it again."
Hearing that Zhu Qing's words were not what they had thought, Si Qin continued to ask, "Did you ask Xue Lian for help on your own initiative?"
Zhu Qing glanced at Xue Lian and shook her head: "No, Xue Lian came to me herself and said that I had my period today and was not feeling well, so she came to keep me company for the night. Miss and the two older sisters have always been very kind to us and would not get angry over such a small thing."
Mo Hua also said coldly, "A small matter? If it were really just a small matter, then so be it. But this Xue Lian is acting suspiciously and is clearly up to no good. Who knows if you're in cahoots?"
Zhu Qing glanced at Xue Lian curiously. She hadn't expected Xue Lian to have such thoughts, and quickly shook her head: "I don't know anything, Xue Lian... Xue Lian is usually very good to me, and she is very serious and hardworking. She even took the initiative to help me today. I don't know what she wants to do."
Siqin saw that Zhuqing didn't seem to be lying.
