Chapter 307: The Wang Family is in Chaos

Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang both let down their guard a little. Neither of them was a hands-off manager. They had helped out in some way at the writing brush and ink shop at home. When it came to writing brushes, they knew them like the back of their hand.

Xing Xing said nothing, but just sat in the chair quietly listening, waiting for Mrs. Wang to change the subject.

Sure enough, after Mrs. Wang had a slightly warmer chat with Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang, the subject suddenly changed to talking about this provincial examination.

"...My third sister-in-law from my mother's family has been crying these days, saying that her nephew is obviously very talented, but was poisoned by a villain, which caused him to feel unwell during the provincial examination. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get any good results..." Mrs. Wang's eyes were like knives, staring straight at Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang, and the smile on her lips was quite intriguing. "You two families are in the calligraphy business. Do you know if there is a way to put the poison in the calligraphy without anyone knowing and let people fall into it?"

Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang were unaware of the dirty deeds done by Tan Jingqian, so they naturally had no idea what Mrs. Wang meant by this. They just thought that Mrs. Wang was speaking up for the nephew of her third sister-in-law from her natal family.

Wei Sanniang frowned and thought carefully: "...I don't think I've heard of it. After all, this pen and ink are very personal things. If you really want to poison someone, why not put it in the food or tea instead of in the pen and ink? There are traces left in the pen and ink, wouldn't it be more convenient to put it in the tea?"

Madam Wang frowned, obviously not wanting to hear such an answer. She stared closely at Wei Sanniang's expression and asked further, "...then couldn't they poison the wine before selling it? Dissolve the poison in ink or something like that?"

Wei Sanniang was a little surprised and hesitated for a moment: "...it seems so..."

Madam Wang smiled and clapped her hands, "Is that so? Madam Wei also thinks this will work?"

Xing Xing looked at Madam Wang, and suddenly got down from her chair, interrupting her and saying, "Madam, my Third Aunt is pure and kind, why are you asking her these questions? Don't let someone do this and accuse my Third Aunt of incitement, right?"

Mrs. Wang's smile froze: "You kid..."

Wei Sanniang just found it a little strange. Xingxing was always a gentle and well-behaved child, and she never spoke to others in such a sharp manner.

What does this mean?

This shows that there must be something wrong with Mrs. Wang!

Wei Sanniang and her daughter-in-law Jiang Mengniang looked at each other and nodded secretly. The good impression they had of Mrs. Wang disappeared instantly.

Wei Sanniang and Jiang Mengniang both showed some vigilance.

When Mrs. Wang saw this, she knew that this matter would not succeed. She was unhappy, and after chatting for a few more words, she sent Wei Sanniang and the others away.

Wei Sanniang and Xingxing came out. Wei Sanniang found a quiet place where no one was around and asked Xingxing nervously what was wrong.

Xing Xing pouted: "Third Aunt, that Wang Furen seems to be deliberately setting traps for people to fall into when she talks to them. I don't like her."

Wei Sanniang immediately said, "Okay, Xingxing doesn't like her, so we won't have any contact with her from now on."

Jiang Mengniang also nodded repeatedly.

Xing Xing smiled with her eyebrows curved, and hugged Wei Sanniang's waist: "I knew that my third aunt and cousin both love me very much."

Wei Sanniang was made to laugh by Xingxing.

Three generations of the family returned to the stage where the banquet was held.

The osmanthus banquet was soon started, with a wide variety of osmanthus delicacies such as osmanthus duck, osmanthus crucian carp wine dumplings, osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, and osmanthus cold noodles.

Sweet fragrance.

Xingxing didn't like Mrs. Wang very much, but since they had prepared gifts to attend the banquet, they didn't want to let their stomachs suffer, and they started eating happily.

Halfway through the banquet, Xingxing suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom. She whispered to Wei Sanniang, who wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said she would go with Xingxing.

Xing Xing waved her hands and said, "No, no, I'll just let Hu Ya go with me."

Wei Sanniang glanced at Hu Ya, and remembered what Hu Ya had demonstrated when Xing Xing got on the carriage before. She simply carried the ten-year-old Xing Xing onto the carriage with one hand.

Wei Sanniang sat back down silently.

Hu Ya accompanied Xing Xing out of the platform where the banquet was held, asked the maid where the toilet was, and then went there.

But when Xingxing came back from the toilet, she suddenly saw a kitten being chased by a weasel or something and it had gone into the bushes.

Xingxing really liked kittens, so she quickly chased after it with Huya, trying to chase the weasel away.

As a result, the weasel chased the kitten all the way, and Xingxing and the others chased the weasel all the way until they reached a secluded and deserted courtyard, where Xingxing and Huya finally caught up with it.

Hu Ya took the lead and chased the weasel away.

The kitten meowed twice and crawled into a tree hole in a rotten dead tree in this secluded and deserted yard.

Xingxing nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the kitten was no longer in danger.

Just as he was about to leave, a female voice suddenly rang out from the room: "What's that sound?!"

Xingxing was so frightened that her little body froze.

She recognized that the voice belonged to Mrs. Wang.

Xingxing really didn't notice when Mrs. Wang, the host, left the table.

Xingxing didn't like Mrs. Wang, so she signaled to Huya with her eyes and wanted to leave quickly.

Another male voice with a smile came, sounding a bit evil and crazy: "...Auntie, what are you afraid of? It's just a wild cat barking."

"Just keep talking, why are your hands so naughty?"

Mrs. Wang's voice was so charming that it could drip water.

"I haven't had a good time with my aunt for a long time. My uncle is already quite old. Can my aunt enjoy herself?"

The man's voice sounded extremely ambiguous.

"Disgusting~"

Further down, there were some strange noises.

Xingxing didn't understand what was said, but Huya blushed, picked up Xingxing and ran away quickly as if a dog was chasing her.

Only when they were at a safe distance away and in a large garden that was not so remote did Huya put Xingxing down.

Xing Xing was still a little confused: "Sister Huya, what's wrong?"

Hu Ya blushed and lowered her voice: "Miss, that Madam Wang is having an affair with her husband's nephew."

Xingxing's face turned red instantly.

She still knows what cheating is.

Last year, there was a widower in the village who had an affair with a young wife.

Xingxing vaguely heard her grandparents mention a few words about how the affair was discovered by the young wife's husband, and the widower was beaten to the point where he was left with only his last breath. The young wife was also divorced, and it was said that she hanged herself at her parents' home not long after.

Xingxing then realized that having an affair was an immoral relationship between a man and a woman and was a very serious matter.

Now, Mrs. Wang is actually having an affair with her husband’s nephew?

This Wang family is such a mess!

It's really shocking!

Xingxing shook her little head and quietly returned to the banquet with Huya.
