"Distinguished guests? What are those two kids bringing... Wan Qiqi? Oh, it's you!"
Xiao Nian finally noticed Wan Qiqi under the corridor, and his already bad expression turned even more gloomy.
"Wan Qiqi, what are you doing at the Xiao family again?" she questioned.
"I've come to bring food to Old Master Xiao!" Wan Qiqi replied, ignoring Xiao Nian's hostility.

"So they're your children? No wonder they're just like their mother, so unruly!"

Shuang'er's face looked slightly pale as she explained, "Miss, during the time you were ill, some changes occurred in Yunhe County. The current magistrate is Xie Xing, and the current county lieutenant is Wan Qiqi's husband, Chen Yongnian!"
"What?" Xiao Nian's face turned cold.
Her gaze towards Wan Qiqi held even more disgust.
Then, she shouted at the servant who brought Wan Qiqi, "Get this kind of person who wants to curry favor with the Xiao family out of here right now!"
