Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Chapter 53: Xier, calling me grandma is too formal.

Murong Yunhai clenched his fists tightly, his brows furrowed. His eyes were full of confusion and doubt, and he muttered, "Why did Xue'er's face become like this?"

Murong Baixue, the daughter he had always placed high hopes on, was actually disfigured! He had heard before that she had just caught a cold and had some rashes on her face. But when he saw the disfigured face with his own eyes just now, the Xiao family actually lied to him. Murong Yunhai was furious, which made him more angry than the theft in the warehouse.

At this moment, his eyes accidentally swept over his other daughter, Murong Zixi.

This daughter has now won the favor of the War King. Murong Yunhai's heart moved, thinking that the General's Mansion might have a new turn, but the first thing to do is to restore a good relationship with this daughter.

Murong Zixi noticed her father's gaze. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

At the same time, Murong Jiaoning, who was standing next to her, was secretly glad. She had just seen Murong Baixue's unrecognizable face, and her heart was filled with pride and satisfaction.

Now that Xiao is suddenly in trouble, her aunt has her chance.

If her aunt could become a lady, then she, a concubine's daughter, would be transformed into a legitimate daughter, and she would no longer have to please Xiao and Murong Baixue.

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Murong Jiaoning's face and her gaze shifted to Aunt Hong beside her.

The two looked at each other, and Aunt Hong also smiled. Their eyes met, and they knew each other without words.

The old lady had a gloomy face and frowned. She said in a deep voice to Nanny Yang beside her: "Go and ask the doctor to check on Xue'er." Her voice was low and serious, with an irresistible majesty.

However, if you look closely, you can see that there is a trace of panic in her eyes that is difficult to conceal. She knows Murong Baixue's status and importance, and also understands the impact this incident may have on the general's mansion.

Nanny Yang responded quickly and left in a hurry.

At the same time, the old lady turned around and glared at Murong Zixi fiercely.

Her eyes were full of hostility and dissatisfaction, and she said coldly: "It's all because of you! Ever since you stopped being stupid, nothing good has happened to the General's Mansion." Her tone was mixed with anger and disgust, as if Murong Zixi was the source of all the misfortunes.

Murong Zixi smiled slightly upon hearing this. There was a hint of indifference in her smile, as if she didn't care about what was happening around her. She slowly raised her head, looked at the old lady calmly, and said softly: "Old lady, since you are so determined to believe that I am a disaster star, then I am willing to leave the general's mansion and have nothing to do with it from now on. Will you be satisfied with this?"

After hearing this, the old lady was so angry that she trembled all over, and her hand that was pointing at Rong Zixi was shaking. She widened her eyes, glared at Rong Zixi, and gritted her teeth and said, "You... How dare you say such a thing! You ignorant girl!"

However, Rong Zixi was not moved at all and still maintained that indifferent smile.

At this moment, Murong Yunhai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. His face darkened, and his voice was low and serious: "Xi'er, what are you talking about? You are my daughter, and you will always be! Don't listen to these idle gossips, such as the calamity star or not!"

A barely perceptible nervousness flashed across Murong Yunhai's eyes. He couldn't afford to lose his daughter now.

After all, King Zhan seemed to have special feelings for this daughter, and he was counting on her to realize his ambitious plans. How could he let her leave the General's Mansion so easily?

The old lady was unhappy when she saw this, but when she saw the look in her son's eyes, she couldn't get angry in public. She could only glare at Rong Zixi and then shut her mouth.

After seeing the excitement, Murong Zixi turned around and left without a trace of nostalgia.

The old lady's face was terribly gloomy, her fingers were shaking, and her voice was trembling and sharp: "This damn girl is so arrogant!"

Murong Yunhai walked around in a state of dismay, sighing constantly. The warehouse was robbed, and Xue'er, who had high hopes for him, was disfigured. All of this made him feel extremely stressed and anxious.

He waved his hand, signaling the others to leave, leaving only the old lady to have a secret conversation with him.

Murong Jiaoning and Aunt Hong walked out of the empty storehouse. Murong Jiaoning said to Aunt Hong with a proud look on her face, "Aunt, my chance has come, and your chance has come too. You must seize this opportunity and coax father into a good mood. Then maybe you can be promoted to the position of Madam, and then I will become the legitimate daughter!"

Aunt Hong nodded to show that she understood. She smiled and said to Murong Jiaoning, "Ning'er, Auntie knows that you have to behave well in front of your father. Now that Murong Baixue is disfigured, your father can only rely on you, his daughter."

Murong Jiaoning was so happy when she heard this. She smiled and said, "Haha, I know. I don't have to please Murong Baixue and Xiao anymore."

The two chatted and laughed along the way, as if good days had already arrived.

Murong Zixi returned to her Ziwei Pavilion and lay lazily on the small couch.

Xiaolu came up with tea and asked with a smile: "Miss, what happened to Second Miss's face?" She was really surprised just now, but she was more gloating.

Murong Zixi leaned lazily on the couch, a sarcastic smile on her lips: "Maybe I've done too many bad things and this is my retribution." Her words were understated, but revealed a barely perceptible indifference.

When Xiaolu heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud: "The eldest lady is right! The second lady has often done things behind the eldest lady's back. This time, she got what she deserved." As she spoke, she handed the tea to Murong Zixi.

Murong Zixi took the teacup and took a sip, feeling the fragrance of the tea spreading in her mouth. She squinted her eyes slightly, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

Just then, Nanny Li walked in.

Nanny Li reported respectfully, "Miss, someone from Qingfeng Courtyard came and said that the old lady wanted you to come over."

Murong Zixi raised her eyebrows. She and the old lady had just met. Didn’t she just say that she was a disaster star?

"I understand, let's get over it."

Go and see what this old witch wants to do?

Murong Zixi slowly stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the door.

Murong Zixi brought Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu to Qingfeng Courtyard again.

When she walked into the yard, the old lady was sitting in the hall with an ugly smile on her face: "Xier is here, come and sit down."

Murong Zixi raised her eyebrows and sneered in her heart. Was this a gesture of friendship to her? Did her scumbag father say something to her old witch?

She walked to the side and sat on the chair next to her, "Old lady."

The old lady looked at her, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.

She coughed lightly and said, "Xi'er, call me grandma. It's too formal to call me old lady."
