“I think Madam Xie wouldn’t tolerate a servant speaking so disrespectfully to the young lady, so she stepped in to teach that servant a lesson for you.”
"I hope you won't blame me, Madam."
What else could Ding Huizhu say? She could only keep a straight face and say, "You're joking. I should be thanking you."
If she doesn't admit it, does that mean she condoned the servants' lack of respect for elders?
Unexpectedly, she remembered the anonymous email she had seen last time. At the time, she was only thinking about Xie Shiyou's double-dealing and was annoyed by Xie Li's lack of respectability and his ability to be manipulated by his servants.
Now that I think about it, could it be that Xie Li has other powerful backers?
Luo Zhihan had no intention of having a deep conversation with Ding Huizhu. He came here to support Xie Li.
"Since we've already talked it out, I won't bother you any longer." Luo Zhihan glanced at Xie Li and smiled. "Go back and rest."
The door was closed again, and this time Butler Wu personally saw the person out, his attitude much more respectful.
Inside, all was silent.
Xie Li glanced at Ding Huizhu, not really wanting to talk to her, and turned to walk upstairs.
Ding Huizhu was lost in thought for a moment, but then suddenly snapped back to reality. "Xie Li, stop right there!"
Xie Li turned around impatiently, "What is it?" She really found Ding Huizhu noisy and annoying.
Although Shen Tiezhu told her to spend more time with her birth mother, Xie Li knew before she even returned that it was impossible.
She returned to the Xie family so that she could study hard and get into Beijing University, not for Ding Huizhu's sake.
Ding Huizhu stared at her face for a long time, somewhat lost in thought.
She still vividly remembers the grotesque appearance Xie Li had when she first came home, and she lamented how her biological daughter didn't resemble a member of the Xie family at all...
The girl stood before her with no makeup, yet she inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
She thought for a long time before she remembered that Xie Li's nose was somewhat similar to hers, with a high bridge and a beautiful curve, which was something she was very proud of.
"Is there something you need?" Xie Li asked again when he saw Ding Huizhu staring at him in a daze.
Ding Huizhu, however, seemed lost in thought, her expression softening slightly. "I only asked Xie Shiyou to call you back, nothing more..."
She rarely lowered herself to explain to Xie Li, but her attitude was somewhat condescending.
"Of course you don't." The girl yawned lazily, turned her head, and walked upstairs.
You did nothing but indulge the servants.
——
Back in his room, Xie Li realized something was wrong.
The room had been ransacked, and some things were missing.
She glanced at it casually, then put down her schoolbag and went to get her pajamas to take a shower and go to bed.
The next morning, Zhang Ma knocked on the door to wake her up, and said somewhat nervously, "Young Miss, yesterday I mentioned to Madam about your hair growth serum..."
Xie Li casually hummed in agreement, "The effect is alright, isn't it?"
"...Madam seems a little angry."
Xie Li paused, then suddenly realized, "No wonder my room was ransacked yesterday."
She immediately recalled the last time Ding Huizhu saw her medicine and snatched it away, throwing it away.
So, Ding Huizhu is dissatisfied with her hair growth tonic? What's wrong with her now!
Xie Li knew that the hair growth liquid he made was only so-so, and the same was true for the skin growth liquid. It was troublesome to apply it to his face every day, and the recovery was not fast enough.
But Ding Huizhu shouldn't have gone so far as to send someone to search her room!
Xie Liqing was somewhat relieved: "Luckily, I left the medicine furnace with you."
Otherwise, wouldn't Ding Huizhu have to throw away even her medicine stove?
She had a hard time buying this, and it's very handy to use! She never had such good tools when she lived in the mountains!
