The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

In Ningxiu Restaurant, Jiang Suining was drinking scented tea while flipping through the account book in front of him.

Although Biyun left the Jiang family together with Jiang Suining, a noble lady from Ningyue Pavilion had made an appointment to have her dress customized today. Biyun did not dare to neglect her and hurried to Ningyue Pavilion after leaving the Jiang family. Now, only Xier was left with Jiang Suining.

While Jiang Suining was checking the accounts, she stood silently by the side.

Seeing that the teacup next to Jiang Suining was empty, he walked forward timidly, picked up the teapot and poured tea.

Jiang Suining raised his eyes to look at her. Xier, who was already nervous and guilty, was so scared that her hands trembled and the tea spilled on the account book.

"Miss, I didn't mean it!" Xier panicked and put down the teapot in a hurry.

However, due to nervous hand shaking, the teapot was not placed steadily and a lot of tea spilled out. Some of the tea flowed down the table to the edge and was about to drip onto Jiang Suining.

Jiang Suining stood up in time and didn't get any tea.

Xier was so frightened that her face turned pale. She didn't care about anything else and used her sleeves to wipe the tea on the table. But after wiping, she realized that she was no longer wearing the coarse cloth clothes she wore before, but the pink short shirt that Biyun gave her. Although she didn't know the material of the clothes, she knew that it could not be used as a rag.

Xier stood there stiffly, pinching her sleeves, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Miss, I, your servant, your servant..."

"It's okay, I just accidentally spilled some tea, you don't have to be so nervous." Jiang Suining spoke gently, his eyes fell on the account book on the table that was stained by water, "It's just that this account book..."

Never mind. Fortunately, she had just finished reading this page and remembered it very clearly. Just as she was about to ask Xier to bring pen and ink to memorize this page, Jiang Suining heard Xier speak in a panic.

"Miss, I remember what's on it. I can write it down. Please don't chase me away."

If she was driven away, her godmother would not be able to treat her illness.

"You remember?" Jiang Suining was a little surprised, "Can you read?"

When I signed the contract this morning, the other party said he couldn't read.

Xier shook her head, "No, I don't know, but I remember what those words look like. I just saw them."

The only things she recognized were the recipe and the words "salt" and "oil". These were written for her by the shopkeeper after he knew that she was illiterate, so that she could find the recipe more easily.

As she spoke, Xi'er was worried that Jiang Suining would misunderstand her as peeking, so she quickly explained, "Miss, I didn't mean to peek. I was just curious and took a few more glances."

She happened to be standing next to the young lady, and she didn't dare look around for fear of arousing suspicion, so she could only look at the account book.

Jiang Suining didn't say much and quickly asked someone to bring pen and ink.

Xier sat down at the wiped table, and her gesture of holding the pen was very clumsy. Jiang Suining didn't say anything when he saw it, but just watched Xier put pen to paper.

When Jiang Suining saw that Xier had indeed just written down the contents and numbers in the account book according to her memory, with no stroke order at all, he believed that she was really illiterate.

Xier wrote, or you could say drew, very slowly. The sweat from her palms stuck to the pen, making it slippery and increasingly difficult to hold.

She rubbed her right palm on her clothes and grabbed the pen again. However, due to nervousness, she couldn't remember clearly for a moment. She could only grit her teeth and try hard to recall.

By the time Xier had finished memorizing, half an hour had passed. She used eight sheets of paper to write one page of the account book, and as she was illiterate, her handwriting was a mess.

"Miss, it's okay." Xier stood aside with her head down, her face flushed red, and even sweat appeared on her forehead. She didn't dare to look at Jiang Suining at all.

Although the young lady didn't urge her just now, she would be angry if the writing was so messy, right?

She really tried her best. The words on the account book were small and neat, but when she wrote, the pen seemed to be out of control and it was extremely difficult to write horizontally and vertically.

Jiang Suining picked up the paper. Although the handwriting was not very good, it was still barely legible.

She looked at them carefully one by one, and finally found that except for two characters with more strokes that had a few strokes missing, the rest were all correct.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Suining opened the account book again and selected a page that he had not seen before. "How long will it take you to memorize this page again?"

Xier took the account book, looked at it for a while, and then whispered to Jiang Suining: "Miss, I will remember it."

"Then start writing, but don't be in a hurry, just write slowly."

"Okay." Xier responded and sat down at the table again. Although she was still following her memory, this time, she was a little faster than before.

"Miss, it's done." Xier put down her pen.

Jiang Suining checked it and found it to be accurate.

"Is this ability innate to you?" she asked Xier.

"Skill?" The latter was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head, "Miss, I just have a good memory. I have been like this since I was a child. This is not really a skill."

"Of course this requires skill." Jiang Suining put down the paper in his hand with a smile.

Even for someone who can read, it is not easy to remember just by standing by and watching, let alone Xier who cannot read.

It's a pity that she was born into a poor family with such talent, otherwise she would at least be known as a talented woman.

"Miss, don't you blame me anymore?" Seeing Jiang Suining smile, Xier asked carefully.

"Didn't I just say it? It's okay." Jiang Suining looked at Xi'er, "Do you want to learn to read?"

"Recognize words?" Xier was stunned again.

She had never had enough to eat since she was a child. If it weren't for her godmother, she would have starved to death long ago. She had never thought about learning to read.

But, the lady said this, does that mean she wants to teach her how to read?

Seeing Xier's hesitant expression, Jiang Suining spoke again.

"If you want to learn to read, you can ask Biyun to teach you. But Ningyue Pavilion has a lot of things going on these days, so she may not have the time. But you can think carefully about whether to learn or not. After all, many things..." Jiang Suining's eyes darkened a little, "You still have to think clearly before making a decision."

Xier looked at Jiang Suining in a daze. This was the first time in her life that someone had said they could teach her to read. However, if the young lady knew her purpose, she would definitely not do so.

Moreover, her godmother’s illness could not be delayed for long. Now she could only follow the shopkeeper’s instructions, steal the recipe, and then ask the shopkeeper to completely cure her godmother’s illness. The rest... was not something she could dream of.

Xi'er didn't dare to look at Jiang Suining again, she lowered her head and said, "Yes, I understand."

Seeing this, Jiang Suining didn't say anything more. He asked Xier to simply tidy up the papers on the table, and then he picked up the pen and memorized that page of the account book again.

Just after he finished writing the last word and the ink was not dry yet, a servant from the Jiang family came running in hurriedly from outside Ningxiu Restaurant.

"Miss, something happened at home!"
