Chapter 60 Eye Drops
If someone shows you kindness without reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
I became alert instantly.
Li Yao's tone became gentler. "Third sister-in-law, please try the snacks here and see if they suit your taste."
After she finished speaking, Qiao Xianglan was silent for a moment and did not move immediately. This scene made Li Yao look down on her even more.
I just felt that she was ignorant, and it must be because she had never tasted such good tea or eaten such delicious snacks.
"Sister-in-law, please tell me what you want me to do first."
Qiao Xianglan still didn't move. While Li Yao was observing her, she was also observing Li Yao.
Seeing the disgust and contempt in her eyes, he clenched the handkerchief in his hand.
"Third sister-in-law, I've been feeling unwell. You know, when I was living in my mother's family, my family was a family of scholars. As a young lady from a family of scholars, I naturally don't touch women."
"Mom hasn't been feeling well these days. I've been taking care of her for several days now, but I can't take it anymore. I know you're in good health, and when you were home, you helped out a lot with housework. Why don't you... help me take care of Mom?"
Qiao Xianglan immediately understood what the other party was planning.
She said that no matter how hard she tried to make friends with her sister-in-law and please her in the past, she never took her seriously and never even gave her a smile. What happened today?
It turns out that he wanted to suffer by himself.
The mother-in-law wasn't unhappy at all, she just wanted to find someone to vent her anger on.
She used the excuse of resting to shirk the responsibility, and she was fine. But when she got in front of her mother-in-law, she would only get angrier and torture herself even more.
Didn't Li Yao know? She must have known, but she still plotted against herself, wanting to make herself the scapegoat.
Qiao Xianglan had never felt her mind so clear.
It was not in vain. Song Ci often broke down the situation of the Song family and the thoughts of all parties and told him about it.
She took a deep breath, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and mustered up her courage. "Sister-in-law, my body hasn't recovered yet. The doctor said that I didn't take good care of myself after giving birth. It hurt my body, and he told me not to do heavy work.
I remember when I had just given birth, you were not feeling well, so my mother-in-law asked me to take care of you. I didn’t even have the confinement period...”
Li Yao looked at Qiao Xianglan in disbelief, as if he was looking at a complete stranger.
In the past, she let her control her, worked hard for her, and even busied herself taking care of her younger siblings right after giving birth. She actually rarely refused her request.
"Third sister-in-law, why don't I remember this... Could it be that you remembered it wrongly?"
Li Yao couldn't hold back his expression, but he had to maintain a gentle one, which was so distorted.
Qiao Xianglan's expression was firm. "Sister-in-law, I'm not mistaken." She paused, "So my poor health is also related to you."
"Third sister-in-law, but..."
"Sister-in-law, I know you feel bad. It's okay, what's done is done. I need to take care of my mother, so I won't be going over. I'd appreciate it if you could just take care of her."
Qiao Xianglan said everything she wanted to say in one breath, and she felt more relaxed than ever before.
"I...I'm not feeling well either." Li Yao was so angry. He felt that Qiao Xianglan, this bitch, had grown up and was playing tricks on him.
She wasn't feeling unwell at first, but she just couldn't stand the fact that Qiao Xianglan was taken care of so well by Song Lao San personally after she gave birth.
Boss Song has never been so considerate to her.
She couldn't bear it, so she made an excuse of feeling unwell and asked Qiao Xianglan to take care of her. She didn't expect that this bitch had such a good memory. She still remembered it even after such a long time.
She was born to be a lowly person, so what's wrong with taking care of her?
She suppressed her anger, thinking that Qiao Xianglan would not reject her now that things had come to this point, but...
"Sister-in-law, it's not my fault that you're not feeling well... Mother asked you to take care of her, so you should get some rest. Recover as soon as possible."
After Qiao Xianglan finished speaking, she stood up and left.
Ignoring the master and servant with different expressions behind him.
Ling'er first wondered if the Third Madam was possessed by an evil spirit, but then she thought, otherwise why would she dare to reject the Madam.
Li Yao was even more angry and tore the quilt on his body, making a "crunching" sound.
"What's wrong with this bitch? How come she's smart now and still dares to reject me!"
Ling'er shook her head, "I don't know what's going on either."
"Great! The third family is going to make a big fuss. Can't they see their own status? They are just the slaves of the Song family! Now they really think they are the masters of the family."
She was so angry that she was gasping for breath and her eyes were bloodshot.
Ling'er was startled by this scene and quietly took a few steps back. She felt that the lady had become more and more unfamiliar to her these days.
Qiao Xianglan was a little hesitant to refuse at first, but she didn't expect to feel so good after refusing.
She used to be so eager to be recognized and acknowledged by everyone that she never refused any excessive or outrageous requests. She only hoped that one day they would truly consider her a family member.
But in their eyes, these efforts and flattery became taken for granted and turned into flattery.
Qiao Xianglan laughed at herself, took a deep breath, and walked forward with a sense of ease.
Inside the house, Wanxiang was still worried, peeking in from time to time, "Why hasn't the Madam come back yet? Maybe she's been troubled by the people in the main house."
Song Ci raised her head and smiled, "She will be back soon."
"Why does the Third Miss trust Madam so much? She's gentle and easy to talk to, but the First Madam always makes things difficult for her. This time she insisted on sending someone to the main room to talk, and it's unclear what excessive demands she'll make."
"Hey! Madam is back! Miss!"
Wanxiang shouted excitedly.
.....
Song Rouxi received a message from the prince today, saying that he would go back to enjoy the flower banquet. Although she felt ashamed and didn't want to go out recently because of her father's affairs, she didn't care about anything else when she thought about meeting the prince.
He dressed up early and came in a carriage.
Along the way, people who used to have a good relationship with her all avoided her, and even when she took the initiative to greet them, they ignored her. This disparity made her very uncomfortable.
But fortunately, she still has the prince!
As long as she holds the crown prince tightly and becomes the future crown princess, these people will come to please her sooner or later.
Having made up her mind, Song Rouxi went straight to the back garden.
Seeing the prince coming out from behind the rockery, she excitedly ran up to him and timidly said, "Your Highness."
Zhou Yongyi took the initiative to reach out and hold Song Rouxi's hand, but she shyly avoided him.
"Prince... Mother said that before the wedding, men and women should not touch each other."
Zhou Yongyi, who had just been a little unhappy, felt a little more gentle when he saw Song Rouxi's pink and charming face. "Okay, as you say."
He paused and continued, "I heard that something happened in your family recently."
Song Rouxi's face turned ugly for a moment, then she made an aggrieved expression, "This matter can't be blamed on my father. He was also plotted against."
