The maid's road to success

After taking the antidote, Bihe regained her original appearance the next day and looked at her grandmother with joy.

"This is my little Huang Ya. She was so pretty when she was little. How come she has changed so much when she grew up? My grandma couldn't recognize her at first. It turns out she hasn't changed at all. She is still so pretty."

Bihe felt a little shy and said this while touching her face.

"When walking outside, it's not a good thing to be good-looking. It's safer to be ugly."

Grandma nodded, but her eyes were still reluctant to leave Bihe's face.

"Be safer, be safer. Isn't Miss Wen Niang pretty?"

After hearing this, Wen Niang smiled and shook her head.

"I'm not as pretty as Bihe. Among the sisters back then, Bihe was a rare beauty."

Bihe glanced at Wen Niang coquettishly, but didn't say anything in the end.

I cared a lot about this appearance at the beginning, but now I know that I was sold because of this face, and I feel very sad.

She was very happy to serve the old ancestor. After those glorious years, she broadened her horizons and met Wen Niang, a good sister. However, she also suffered from the time when she was demoted to the Jiaofangsi after her family property was confiscated.

My heart felt so sour.

Wen Niang sat in the yard and told Bihe about her plan.

"Liu Xi has deep feelings for Cai Lian and has never forgotten her for so many years. You have a lot of advantages. You look a bit like Cai Lian, but you are even more beautiful than Cai Lian. It is impossible for him not to see it."

"As long as he notices you, you should tell him your true identity. Although Liu Xi doesn't really like you, he wants to protect even a defective product like Wang Lianhua, so naturally he doesn't want you to be wronged. Don't be too deliberate. Just let him investigate what happened back then. If Er Shun can find out, Liu Xi can definitely find out too."

"As long as he finds out the true colors of your Second Aunt and Wang Lianhua, with a little guidance, it won't be difficult to find out that Mr. Qian already has a grudge and wants to use his sweetheart to find a substitute to hurt himself. Liu Xi will deal with Mr. Qian and the Wang family, and you can just watch the fun without any worries."

Bihe knew that Wen Niang would not let her dirty her hands. She and the Fourth Young Master had been dependent on each other for so long. Even if she could not learn all the essentials, learning half of the conspiracy methods would be enough.

"I have also made arrangements for Wang Jinwang. Someone will take care of him and revoke his title of Tongsheng. When Wang Lianhua fails to get married and Wang Jinwang loses his Tongsheng status, the Wang family will lose more than half of its power. Liu Xi and that student are also eyeing them covetously."

"Bihe, we'll just sit back and watch the fight, and watch Second Aunt Wang get tormented."

Grandma didn't expect that Wen Niang, at such a young age, could come up with such ideas. She immediately stopped treating Wen Niang casually and there was some respect in her eyes.

But after all, I am old and soft-hearted, so I sighed and said.

"It's a pity for Liu Xi. His lover died tragically, and he was dragged out and used by others."

Bihe curled her lips and talked to her grandmother.

"It's a pity that he did that. If a man really likes a woman so much that he can't help himself, why would he fall in love with a substitute? If he really loves a woman, no one can replace her. Wang Lianhua can succeed, which means that Liu Xi doesn't love Cai Lian that deeply in his heart. He is just young and affectionate, but he has never been able to get her. If Cai Lian really married him, he would not stay with Cai Lian after a long time when she is old and ugly."

The grandmother originally thought that Liu Xi was innocent, but after hearing her grandson's analysis, she felt that it made sense.

She and the old man fell in love at first sight, but she had a tarnished reputation and the old man's family did not agree. No matter how many other women his family found, no matter how beautiful they were, the old man insisted on marrying her.

After they got married, a cousin kept seducing the old man and trying to sow discord between him and his wife, but the old man still firmly believed in himself.

This is true love, Liu Xi is indeed not affectionate.

If he really loved Cai Lian and couldn't help himself, why didn't he take her away when he found out that she was being bullied by her husband's family?

Even after she died, I kept missing the love we had in our youth.

Since he can't forget her, how can Wang Lianhua replace Cai Lian and become his future wife?

It's nothing more than that after becoming successful, men become more obsessed with things they once desired but never got.

Wang Lianhua can make up for this desire, but it’s not that he really can’t let go of Cai Lian.

How many affectionate and long-lived couples have gone through hardships hand in hand, and no one can ever replace each other. That's because the person you truly care about, no matter how much like you are, is not that person, and a substitute can never compare to the real treasure.

Wen Niang didn't expect that her grandmother and Bihe would have such thoughts, and she was also very emotional.

After all, as a person who has experienced a lot, it is easy for him to see the essence of things.

After An Ning and An Ping have arranged things in the county, they will come to Wangjia Village to pick up Wen Niang and Bi He.

My grandmother is old and it is not suitable for her to run around all the time. Besides, she doesn't want several people to worry about her, an old woman, while they are busy with their work, so she took the initiative to stay and look after the house.

Wen Niang and Bi He thought this was a more appropriate approach, so they bought enough food before leaving in the carriage.

Bihe remained calm all the way until they were about to enter the teahouse that An Ning had agreed to meet, then she nervously grabbed Wen Niang's hand.

Before this, An Ning had already revealed the portrait of Bihe in front of Liu Xi, a woman who was more delicate and beautiful than Wang Lianhua.

She looks like Cailian and is very beautiful, even Cailian cannot compare to her. Such a woman can make up for the obsession that he once did not get, and is more suitable for Liu Xi now.

Although Wang Lianhua also behaved very kindly and gently, her behavior would still inadvertently reveal her vulgarity. Liu Xi would see it, and as long as Bihe showed her face in front of him, he would not believe that Liu Xi would not change his mind.

Bihe took Wen Niang's hand and walked into the teahouse little by little. This was also what An Ning revealed. The girl in the portrait liked to come to this teahouse to drink tea. An Ning would naturally arrange whether it was true or not. Bihe only needed to sit in a room to drink tea, eat snacks and listen to the storyteller's show.

Not long after he sat down, Liu Xi's sedan chair appeared on the corner of the street.

For safety reasons, An Ning arranged several men from the escort agency to guard nearby early in the morning. If Liu Xi dared to rob, they would naturally protect Bihe.

After all, everyone initially just wanted to use Bihe's appearance to attract Liu Xi to give up his care for Wang Lianhua and notice the viciousness of the mother and daughter. They didn't really want Bihe and Liu Xi to have any involvement.

"My name is Liu Xi. Can I have a seat with you?"

Bihe didn't expect Liu Xi to talk to her like this. She turned around and saw that the lobby was full of people. There were originally four or five empty tables, but now they were all full.

These should all be Liu Xi's people, who just want to talk to Bihe.

"I'm sorry, there is a difference between men and women, so it's not very convenient. Please find someone else."

Liu Xi was not sad about Bihe's rejection. On the contrary, his eyes became brighter, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Bihe's appearance. In addition, Bihe's calm and soft voice made him even more expectant.

Sitting directly opposite Bihe, Wen Niang didn't expect that Liu Xi would be so shameless. She thought he would think of other ways to talk to Bihe, but she didn't expect that he sat down directly without hearing Bihe's refusal.

"Sir, you are so rude."

Bihe pretended to stand up and leave the box.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xi's men stood at the door to block the way. Bihe looked at Liu Xi angrily.

Liu Xi stood up and bowed to apologize.

"Young lady, to be honest, Liu Xi came to see you today on purpose. Please don't be angry. Sit down and listen to what I have to say. I will definitely not hurt you two young ladies."

Wen Niang pulled Bihe to sit opposite Liu Xi and looked at him warily. Liu Xi was still very happy to see this.

After all, I did scare the two girls today, so it was reasonable for them to be angry.

Liu Xi clasped his fists and respectfully apologized to Bihe and Wen Niang again.

"I'm really sorry for scaring the two girls. This girl looks too much like an old friend of mine, so I had no choice but to do this."

Wen Niang and Bi He didn't say anything. They looked like they wanted him to speak quickly so that they could leave.

Liu Xi then sat down and stated his purpose.

"Don't be afraid, ladies. This girl looks very much like the niece of my childhood mentor. That old friend of mine was kind to me, but she has long since passed away. I was really anxious when I saw this girl's portrait, so I has the audacity to bother you."

Bihe still kept her mouth shut and said nothing.

"I heard that the girl came back to look for someone. Liu is in Huai County and has some reputation in Qingzhou. Maybe I can help the girl."

Bihe then looked at Liu Xi, sized him up and down before speaking softly.

"Can you help me find my family?"

Liu Xi was happy that the girl finally spoke and nodded quickly.

"Please tell me the news about your family, I will send someone to check it out immediately."

Bihe immediately looked at Liu Xi and said happily.

"I only remember that my father's name was Wang Dahu. I was from a village in Huai County. I was sold when I was five or six years old. I have almost forgotten my family. I only remember that there was a big old locust tree at the entrance of the village."

Liu Xi didn't expect that the girl could remember so little information, but he also felt sympathy for her. How much could a child who was sold at the age of five or six remember?

"When I was young, my family sold me to support my younger brother. I worked hard and my master showed mercy and let me go home. But I can't remember where my family is. I only know that I was in Huai County when I was sold."

Liu Xi looked at Bihe with eyes full of pity and immediately promised that he would find her family as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Master Liu. I wonder if you can let us leave?"

Liu Xi looked at Bihe hesitantly and asked.

"I wonder where the girl lives now? I'll find out the news so I can go find her."

Bihe looked at Wen Niang, hesitated for a while, and then spoke.

"We are girls, so it is inconvenient for us to tell you our address. If you have any news, Mr. Liu, you can come to the teahouse. I will come here every two or three days."

Liu Xi felt a little disappointed when he saw that she refused to say anything, but he soon figured it out.

Any decent girl would not tell a man where her home is casually. Moreover, my rude arrival today did not leave a good impression on the two girls, so it was right for them to be on guard.

"In that case, rest assured, young lady, Liu will find out as soon as possible."

Bihe and Wen Niang stood up, bowed to Liu Xi and thanked him. Seeing the guards at the door also moved away, they hurriedly held hands and left.

After all, Liu Xi was not a bad person and he did not send anyone to follow Bihe and Wen Niang, so the two of them felt much more relieved.

After laying the groundwork, Bihe and Wen Niang left directly. They did not really plan to meet Liu Xi again. After all, they just wanted to lure Liu Xi to investigate the matter.

As long as Liu Xi investigates carefully, he will find that Bihe is Wang Lianhua's cousin. Naturally, he will become suspicious and continue to investigate.

With Liu Xi's ability, he will definitely find out why Bihe was sold, as well as the affairs of Wang Lianhua and Qian Yuanwai. By then, there will be nothing for them to do and there will be no need to see Liu Xi again.

Wang Ershun was also a capable man. He sneaked into the restaurant where Wang Jinwang was having dinner and, while no one was paying attention, put drugs in the wine that Wang Jinwang was drinking.

That night, when Wang Jinwang was drunk, he told all about the love of Long Yang, the eldest son of the Bai family in Huai County, and his love for playing with young boys.

An Ning and An Ping stayed to continue paying attention to these things. Wang Ershun was sent back to Wangjia Village by An Ning to avoid being discovered by Wang Jinwang.

Wang Ershun sat in the front of the carriage and drove it very carefully.

His back was very straight. Bihe saw this and felt a little complicated.

She had resented her younger brother for many years. It was because of him that she was sold as a slave. Her life was quite tortuous.

But now he was running around like this for his own grievances, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The creaking of the carriage was particularly clear in the night, and the leaves outside were rustling. Tonight, many things were different.
