"How can a good woman drink alcohol? Sister, you are too reckless." Xu Jingwan said kindly.

"So the Shangshu Mansion took me back but didn't give me any food or water. I deserved to starve to death in front of the ancestors?"

Mrs. Xu was overwhelmed, so she ignored her and walked up to Aunt Jiang, nagging about something.

Xu Jingwan stepped forward and said, "That's not what I meant. Sister, you misunderstood."

Xu Jinyi looked at Xu's mother and the others who were quite far away from the two of them, and suddenly became a little impatient. She looked directly at Xu Jingwan and said in a very cold tone: "Xu Jingwan? Can't you stop pretending? Aren't you tired of pretending to be weak and kind all the time?"

"You obviously hate me to death, but you pretend to welcome me. It makes me sick just looking at your fake face."

"You are holding my mother's hand and pretending to be intimate with me. Aren't you just trying to make me uncomfortable and make me see my position in the Shangshu Mansion clearly?"

"Unfortunately, you made the wrong decision. The Xu family is a group of blind idiots who only treat you as their eyeball. My return scares you, right? Are you worried that everything you have now will be taken away by me?"

Xu Jinyi patted her shoulder in a friendly manner, leaned closer to her ear, and lowered his voice even lower: "Don't worry, I really don't like the things you like, so I'll be generous and give them to you."

Xu Jingwan was so angry that her body was shaking. She had been the eldest daughter of the Xu family for so many years, and had never been insulted like this before.

"Xu Jinyi, don't act so noble. If you really disdain this identity, then why did you come back?" Xu Jingwan couldn't help but reveal her original ferocious face.

Xu Jinyi smiled cunningly: "Of course I want to make things difficult for you. It's so much fun to watch you jumping up and down like a clown, watching you live in fear and panic every day."

Xu Jingwan's eyes were wide open and she was gasping for breath.

Xu Jinyi saw that she was angry and made a gesture to silence her: "Shh! Stay calm, don't lose your temper, otherwise your image in my mother's heart will plummet."

"Come, breathe with me, take a deep breath, and don't get angry, or your gentleness that you have been pretending for so many years will be broken."

Xu Jingwan was so angry that her teeth were chattering. She glared at Xu Jinyi with resentment, but dared not say anything.

Xu Jin thought her behavior was a little funny and continued, "Do you know what you look like? A frog with bulging cheeks!"

After saying this, Xu Jinyi even raised his hand and patted her cheeks.

Xu Jingwan was still young after all, and she couldn't keep her cool. Xu Jinyi's actions were frivolous and insulting, and she couldn't help but slap Xu Jinyi's hand away.

The crisp sound of slapping made Xu's mother frown. She turned around and started cursing before she could see clearly what happened.

"Xu Jinyi! Can't you just give me some peace of mind? I don't care about the matter of the ancestral hall anymore. Why are you still bullying Wanwan?"

He walked over angrily and raised his hand to hit Xu Jinyi, but was frightened and stopped by the hatred in Xu Jinyi's eyes.

She realized something was wrong only later. She glanced at Xu Jingwan, who was standing beside her with her hands in a state of helplessness, looking as if she had done something wrong, and Xu Jinyi, who was covering the back of his hand.

Xu's mother felt choked up and couldn't utter the words to apologize.

Xu Jingwan had tears in her eyes and wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Xu Jinyi.

"It is true, Xu Jingwan, you are right. Even if I am their biological daughter, I will never be able to compare to your position in their hearts."

"You've shown me the difference between a child I raised and one I left alone. You've also made me realize that no matter what I do, I will never be better than you."

Xu Jinyi said with a self-deprecating smile: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to attract your mother's attention in the future, hoping to get her attention."

"I won't overestimate my own abilities and want family affection. She is your mother, not mine. I understand."

After saying that, Xu Jinyi covered his red hand and turned around to leave.

Xu Jingwan's eyes widened, she was sweating profusely, and her lips trembled. When Xu Jinyi opened his mouth, she knew that something bad was going to happen.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jinyi would set a trap for her and trick her.

Feeling the scrutinizing gaze from her mother, Xu Jingwan felt a chill sweeping through her body.

"Mother, I didn't. I didn't say anything. She slandered me."

"I didn't mean to do that. I saw her reaching out her hand towards me and I thought she was going to hit me, so I gently slapped her hand away."

Xu Jingwan grabbed Xu's mother's arm and shook it in a panic, saying anxiously, "Mother, believe me, I really didn't say that."

Mother Xu frowned. In fact, she didn't believe that Xu Jingwan would say such a thing.

After all, she raised this child, so she knows his character.

"Well, my sister is right. She didn't say anything and didn't hit me. It's all my fault."

After he finished speaking, Xu Jinyi left behind only a lonely back.

Somehow, Xu's mother suddenly felt that she had gone too far. After all, she was her daughter, and she seemed to have really gone too far.

Thinking of this, Xu's mother asked Jiang Ma to arrange two sensible maids to serve her and make her a new breakfast.

Because by this time, the family had already finished their meals, and those who needed to go to court went to court, and those who needed to go to work were busy.

Xu Jingwan was shocked to see the change in Xu's mother. A huge sense of panic came over her, causing her face to turn pale in an instant.

If my mother changes her mind about Xu Jinyi, then she will have no place in this mansion anymore.

What would she do if these family members no longer doted on her as before?

When Xu Jingwan thought about herself being kicked out of the house, she almost couldn't breathe.

No!

Absolutely not!

Thinking of this, a hint of fierceness flashed across Xu Jingwan's eyes, but when Madam Xu looked over, she returned to her gentle look.

"Mom, I really didn't say that, and I don't know why my sister said that."

Mother Xu patted the back of her hand and said, "Of course I believe you. Xiaoyi just came back and may not understand these rules yet. You can teach her more when you have time."

"Okay." Xu Jingwan nodded with a forced smile.

After returning to the room, Xu Jingwan resisted the urge to smash things. She turned around and looked at her maid Xiufen with a vicious look.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiufen walked out the door with her head down, her eyes red and filled with tears. Her heavy breathing, the dense sweat on her forehead, the hair sticking to her cheeks, and her messy steps showed how she was treated in there.

"Tsk, look at Xiufen, she's back in her room, being a maid like her is so happy."

"It's so blissful that you don't even mention it when you're hiding from the lazy lady in broad daylight."

Tears welled up in Xiufen's eyes, and she had no one to vent her grievances.

What happiness? What does it mean that she has a good life? She is living in dire straits.

Behind the scenes, Xu Jingwan is simply a devil. Only she knows how hard it is to serve such a master.

She would rather give this opportunity to others.
