Chapter 33: Drive the housekeeper away and kill her right-hand man
"Um."
Zhou Jinyu said: "It is the remnant soul of a glutton."
The remaining soul of Taotie?
Even though Xu Jinrun didn't understand metaphysics, he had heard of the ancient ferocious beasts. He was so scared that he looked Zhou Jinyu from head to toe, and only felt relieved after making sure that she was not injured.
"Don't worry, second brother. This Taotie is just a remnant soul. Its strength is less than one-tenth of its peak. It will be easy for me to deal with it."
Zhou Jinyu said.
In her previous life, she could have sacrificed herself to kill Taotie, not to mention that in this life, she only met a remnant soul.
Xu Jinrun flicked her forehead with his fingers. "Sister, I know you're powerful, but next time you encounter a beast like this... Bah, bah, bah, there won't be a next time."
Not only did he spit on the ground, he also muttered superstitiously. It was just some innocent talk from a child, so God shouldn't take it seriously.
Zhou Jinyu was amused by her second brother's superstitious look.
"Brother, the old professor and the others should want to see the antique books in the box. Let's go in."
She changed the subject.
Since it was related to his profession, Xu Jinrun put away his superstitious look and took Zhou Jinyu in.
After Zhou Jinyu handed the processed box to the old professor, they surrounded her again and praised her lavishly.
Even though Zhou Jinyu had lived for hundreds of years, he could not resist the enthusiastic praise from this group of old men and women.
She made an excuse and quickly slipped out to get some fresh air.
"Zhou Jinyu."
Zhu Yi's voice suddenly appeared.
Zhou Jinyu glanced at him calmly, "What's the matter?"
"I'm sorry I treated you badly before."
Zhu Yi bowed solemnly in front of her and said, "Please forgive me, okay?"
Zhou Jinyu raised an eyebrow.
To make such an arrogant man bow and apologize to her, is this the sun rising from the west?
"Don't bow so often. I don't deserve it."
She moved her hand and asked Zhu Yi to stand up straight.
Zhu Yi looked at her with bright eyes, "Will you forgive me?"
"You didn't do anything wrong, why do you want me to forgive you?"
Zhou Jinyu said, "Your arrogance towards me is just a temper problem. There's no need to apologize to me."
Zhu Yi was just arrogant because of his talent and looked down on people who were weaker than him. He was not a bad person, so she didn't plan to make a fuss with him.
"Then I'll stop being arrogant and we can be friends?"
Zhu Yi asked hopefully.
Zhou Jinyu's abilities made him admire her and he really wanted to be friends with her.
"Let's talk about it later."
Zhou Jinyu waved her hand. "If you have nothing else to do, can you leave?"
She was not familiar with Zhu Yi and had little desire to chat with him.
Zhu Yi noticed her indifference and opened his mouth several times before finally saying tactfully, "I suddenly remembered I have something else to take care of. I'll be leaving first."
He turned and left.
When he returned to Xiao Jinian, he looked listless.
Xiao Jinian patted his shoulder and asked, "Are you frustrated?"
Zhu Yi raised his eyes to look at him, and instead of answering, he said, "Boss, if I'm sincere enough, we should be able to become friends, right?"
"Sincerity can move even metal and stone."
Xiao Jinian said: "She will be willing to be your friend."
Zhu Yi's dull eyes finally lit up a little.
Zhou Jinyu is so talented, he is willing to follow her.
He feels particularly honored to be a younger brother.
"But you have to change your temper in the future. I can see that Jinyu doesn't like to force others."
Xiao Jinian reminded.
Zhu Yi took note of it.
He will definitely change his arrogant character in the future.
Zhou Jinyu didn't care about Zhu Yi's thoughts and went to dinner with Xu Jinrun.
"Sister, the roast chicken in this shop is first-rate, you should try it more."
Xu Jinrun gave the chicken leg to Zhou Jinyu and said.
Zhou Jinyu picked up the chicken leg and devoured it, but just as she finished and was about to start eating the second one, her face changed slightly and she said to Xu Jinrun, "Second brother, I still have something to take care of. You can help me eat the rest."
Then the man disappeared at the table.
Xu Jinrun raised his hand to support his forehead. Having a powerful sister can be quite frustrating sometimes. She doesn't even have time to have a proper meal.
Be in pain and be happy.
Xu's backyard.
Feng Qiaoyun was about to put some food into her mouth when she was stopped by a jade hand that suddenly appeared.
She looked up suspiciously, and when she saw her daughter whom she hadn't seen for a few days, her eyes were filled with joy. "Daughter, you're back."
"Let mom see, have you lost weight?"
She stood up and looked Zhou Jinyu up and down, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "You seem to have lost a bit of weight. Didn't your third brother take good care of you on the set?"
If that's the case, she'll definitely give the third child a good scolding when he comes back.
Zhou Jinyu coughed lightly and said, "Mom, I've gained two kilograms in the past few days."
The original owner was too thin, but she was not the type to let herself down. She had been eating well since she entered this body and finally gained some weight.
"Have you gained weight?"
Feng Qiaoyun's brows were still furrowed, "Daughter, you are still too thin."
It would be better if it were a little fatter.
Zhou Jinyu just smiled and didn't argue about the topic.
It is normal for mothers to want their children to be fatter.
"Mom, there's something added to the food on the table. Don't eat it."
She said.
Feng Qiaoyun was shocked. "Something was planted inside?"
"Um."
Zhou Jinyu nodded. "The housekeeper bribed the kitchen staff to give you this medicine, but he didn't dare give you any other medicine. He just gave you some laxatives to make you have diarrhea, to vent his anger on his woman."
Feng Qiaoyun knew that the housekeeper was having an affair with the old man's wife, and she couldn't help but get angry when she saw that he even dared to touch the food in the backyard.
What a courageous guy.
"Mom, don't be angry. This is a good opportunity to drive them away."
Zhou Jinyu offered an idea.
Feng Qiaoyun turned to look at her, "Daughter, do you mean to kill that woman's right-hand man?"
"That's the plan."
Zhou Jinyu said, "But whether they chop it off or not, this daughter and her child won't be able to stay in the Xu family for much longer."
He took action against the housekeeper first just to let that woman see how strong the eldest wife's position in the Xu family was. Even if the old man wanted to intervene to protect her, he couldn't shake it.
Feng Qiaoyun's eyes turned cold, and she immediately asked people to investigate the drugging incident. With solid evidence, she could justify driving the housekeeper away.
"Daughter, are you hungry? Mom will cook for you myself."
She took Zhou Jinyu's hand and said.
Since the people in the kitchen have been bribed, none of them can be trusted and they have to be rehired. This time, she will implement very strict rules. Once anyone harms the employer for a small profit, the penalty for breach of contract will start from a thousand times.
They lost everything they had to pay for the compensation.
"Thank you, Mom."
Zhou Jinyu placed her hands on Feng Qiaoyun's shoulders and said coquettishly, "Let me help you."
Feng Qiaoyun naturally wanted her to accompany her.
After the mother and daughter finished eating the dishes they cooked, they brought over the housekeeper and the people who had been bribed in the kitchen.
Although Butler Xu guessed why he was brought here, he pretended to be dumb and said, "Madam, you asked the bodyguard to bring me here in the middle of the day. Is there something important you want to tell me?"
