Quickly travel to save the cannon fodder? No, I will just flip the table

Lu Qianqian tilted her head, pretending to be confused: "Is money bad? It's popular to give money in our place."

That’s right, there was one thousand taels in the box, which was half of the cash she had on her. The rest was kept by Nanny Li. If it wasn’t enough, the shop left by her parents was still making money.

It's only been a year anyway, so she doesn't care about it.

Xiao Yuanhuai was a little stunned for a moment. It was the first time in his two lives that he had seen so much money.

Not to mention his past life in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even after recognizing his biological father, he was only able to get by on the surface, his pockets were still empty, and he had always been short of money to do anything he wanted to do.

Now, thinking about his plan, he needs money, but he can't accept it: "Cousin, what I give is not worth it!"

"If I say it's worth it, it's worth it. Cousin, you don't know that I didn't want to live anyway. If it weren't for your concern, I would be dead now!"

Xiao Yuanhuai listened to her nonsense with a numb face and wanted to refuse again, but Ye Er reminded him: "Miss, the servant is here with tea!"

Qianqian subconsciously replied: "So fast? Can I drink it?"

Xiao Yuanhuai was a little embarrassed for a moment!

"Cousin, put it away quickly. You don't look like a good guy. It will be troublesome if someone sees you. Believe me, you can use it. We are family!" After saying this, he stood up and prepared to leave without caring about the other person's expression.

Xiao Yuanhuai couldn't pull it away. Seeing the servant coming over, he could only roll the box into his sleeves and stand up to see him off: "Cousin, take care. I'll accept it with all my heart. Thank you!"

Qianqian nodded with satisfaction. That was right. She hoped that the poor little thing could take better care of itself, and maybe it could help her again in the future.

After Qianqian left, Xiao Yuanhuai ignored the servant standing aside with a grumbling look in his eyes, and went straight to make himself a cup of tea. Sure enough, the water was not even boiled. He didn't say much, and just sat there in the mist.

Looking at the floating tea leaves, he had already made up his mind that there was no need to endure in this life. The worst outcome was just that. He wanted to live an upright life.

I had originally thought of a way to make money, but I didn't expect that an unexpected thing would come to me so soon. In this case, some plans need to be made in advance. As for my cousin's kindness, Xiao Yuanhuai lowered his eyes and will keep it in mind.

But even though he had already continued, what had just happened still surprised him. Although many things seemed to be wrong, he had the impression that his cousin's personality was not like that, otherwise she would not have ended up like that.

And my cousin said that she was one of ours, could it be that she had also come back again?

Xiao Yuanhuai's eyes darkened. If this is true, then it's fine. Maybe the heavens can't stand seeing how miserable they were in their previous lives...

After Qianqian left the door, she did not rush back to Old Madam Xiao, but went to the courtyard where she used to live.

She almost broke her legs from walking back and forth. The Xiao Mansion was not big, so she had to go around in a lot of ways. She and Xiao Yuanhuai were still in two remote corners at opposite corners. It was all thanks to Madam Xiao's arrangement.

But fortunately, after this trip, with Ye'er's introduction, I almost got to know the Xiao Mansion clearly. Tsk tsk, how should I put it, it's not as glamorous as I imagined.

When I got to the yard, I did a quick check, simply to make sure I didn't forget anything. Since I had just arrived, I had to be careful and not get framed later.

After everything was settled, he walked back to Old Madam Xiao with a grunt.

When Qianqian arrived, Old Madam Xiao had just woken up from her nap. After hearing how fast she walked, she couldn't help laughing. It was hard for her to run such a long lap even though she wasn't well yet. There was no need for her to act cute in front of her. She could just go and have a rest.

In the following time, Qianqian acted gentle, well-behaved, and occasionally acted like a coquettish child under the supervision of the old couple of the Xiao family, truly playing the role of a well-behaved and affectionate granddaughter.

Looking at Old Master Xiao's uncontrollable smile, the system couldn't help but give Qianqian a thumbs up. This strategy was not in vain at all. Now, at least the two obstacles in the Xiao Mansion were gone. If she worked harder in the future, maybe they would become a help.

The requirement of Task One is to change the original owner's fate as a cannon fodder and keep her alive, which means she will be safe as long as the male and female protagonists don't set their sights on her.

So on the day of the summer banquet, Qianqian was dressed in plain white, with no makeup on her face and only a few simple decorations on her head. She was just short of wearing mourning clothes. Anyway, everyone knew that she was here to announce the death of both her parents, so this outfit was perfect for her.

She thought that if Xiao Yuanchang and his mother still wanted to drag her into romance in front of the heroine after she was dressed like this, it would be too deliberate.

Sure enough, seeing her appear like this, the old couple of the Xiao family were satisfied, and the smile on Mrs. Xiao's face froze.

Xiao Yuanchang, on the other hand, had a look of disdain on his face, secretly sneering in his heart, she was indeed a woman who was not worthy of being in public. In this summer, everyone was dressed up brightly and creatively, but the look of this cheap cousin was really a letdown.

Qianqian doesn't care about these two. She hopes they look down on her and don't get close to her.

What's strange is that Xiao Yuanhuai also came to this occasion. He dressed up specially today. It's not that he was dressed like a peacock, but his spirit and appearance were particularly upright.

With such appearance and temperament, Qianqian couldn't help but have her eyes light up. Wow, she's the best of the lot.

The banquet was about introducing Qianqian, so Madam Xiao was as perfunctory as possible. Fortunately, Old Lady Xiao was cheerful and held her hand throughout the whole process. Everyone else understood at a glance that this cousin still had some weight.

The remaining time is spent on socializing among ladies and competing with each other among young people.

It was fine on the ladies' side, as there was not much truth in what they said, and Qianqian tried hard not to yawn. But on the young people's side, there were soon bursts of exclamations, and Qianqian was startled and could not help but sit up straight, stretching her neck to look over.

Old Madam Xiao found it funny and patted her hands: "Qianqian, you don't have to stay here with an old woman like me. Go over there and play with those people of your age. If there is anything exciting or fun, come and tell grandma."

Qianqian naturally responded with a yes and went over eagerly. When she got closer, she saw that it turned out to be a poem and a painting. The center of attention and the object of everyone's exclamations was Xiao Yuanhuai.

The people around saw her coming, but they didn't make things difficult for her. They even made room for her. A round-faced girl even shared with her what had just happened.

A group of people were competing in poetry and painting. Qianqian had good eyesight and could see the content. Xiao Yuanhuai's calligraphy, painting, and the poem he mentioned were obviously much better than those of others, especially Xiao Yuanchang next to him. The contrast was terrible.

Qianqian couldn't help laughing and quickly covered half of her face with her hands, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Xiao Yuanhuai noticed the person as soon as he came over. In his previous life, he hid his abilities and lost the chance before he could show them. In this life, he let go and felt so refreshed at this moment, especially when he saw Qianqian's smile, he couldn't help but smile.
