Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

While drinking, Xie Yanshu did not forget his business and asked tentatively, "I believe Brother Ma has read your sister's letter. We are here to help you catch the monster. I wonder if you can tell me in detail the process of discovering the monster."

Ma Jingquan paused in pouring the wine, looking a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, there is no monster."

Yu Miaoyi couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "How could there be no monster? You wrote to your sister and told her that there was a monster."

"I wrote the letter, but I just wanted to trick my sister to come back." Ma Jingquan nodded, glanced at the east wing, and continued, "My mother is already on her last legs, and she only wants to see her daughter before she dies."

Yu Miaoyi expressed her doubts: "Since your mother wanted to see her daughter, why didn't you just state it in the letter?"

Ma Jingquan sighed deeply, as if he had something to hide. He paused before saying, "My mother was stubborn and favored boys over girls. She would beat and scold my sister and torture her in every way. She hated my mother in her heart."

"When my sister grew up, she fell in love with the long-term worker in the cloth shop, but my mother broke them up. After that, she ran away from home and severed her relationship with my mother before she left. It was only later when I went to Cangwu County to meet with clients that I met her again by chance. Although we have had business dealings over the years, she still refuses to forgive my mother."

"If not, how could I have told such a big lie? But I didn't expect that she would still be unwilling to come back and take a look."

After he finished speaking, he wiped his tears with his sleeves. Seeing this, Madam Ma took out her handkerchief and came forward to help him wipe gently, then bent down and kissed him: "Master, don't cry, your crying makes my heart ache."

Mrs. Ma's voice was so sweet and melodious that it made people feel relaxed all over.

Mr. Ma and Mrs. Ma are so affectionate and they don't shy away from it in front of everyone. The protagonists look at each other in embarrassment, but Aunt Sun and the seven daughters and daughters are calm and composed, as if they have already gotten used to it.

Shen Zhaozhao didn't believe what Ma Jingquan said, because the system told Gu Qianmeng to follow Xie Yanshu to eliminate the phantom monster, so there must be something strange about it.

However, there was no evil spirit in the manor, which left her completely confused.

Shen Zhaozhao secretly observed Gu Qianmeng. She was someone who had gone through the process once and should be very clear about the whole thing.

But she was very disappointed because Gu Qianmeng was eating the chicken leg calmly.

Chicken drumsticks... look delicious.

Shen Zhaozhao searched around the table and finally found the plate with the chicken legs, but unfortunately there was only one.

She looked around and saw that the children all had a chicken leg in their bowls, so she picked up the chopsticks without hesitation. Before the chopsticks touched the meat, another pair of chopsticks was inserted horizontally next to it. She quickly picked up the leg and put it into the bowl.

Shen Zhaozhao turned her head with joy and saw that the person holding the other pair of chopsticks was Yu Miaoyi.

Yu Miaoyi also wanted to eat the chicken leg, but unfortunately she got there first, and her face was already puffed up like a bun. A low laugh came from the side, and Shen Zhaozhao turned her head to the other side. Xie Yanshu was staring at them and smiling: "Come, Miaoyi, I'll give you my leg."

Xie Yanshu just picked up the whole chicken leg and put it into Yu Miaoyi's bowl through her.

Yu Miaoyi immediately held the bowl and swung it in front of her to show off: "Humph, I have chicken legs too."

Shen Zhaozhao smiled and nudged Yu Miaoyi with his shoulder, and Yu Miaoyi retorted without any hesitation.

Chu Yu stared at Shen Zhaozhao and Yu Miaoyi playing and frolicking. Why was Shen Zhaozhao so happy?

He glanced at Gu Qianmeng, who was a little stiff, again, and that was right.

Her fiancé was being so nice to another woman in front of her, so it would be normal for Shen Zhaozhao to react like Gu Qianmeng. Why would she be having so much fun playing around with her love rival?

Seeing that Ma Jingquan and his wife were no longer in love, Xie Yanshu returned to the topic: "In that case, we won't bother you any more. We'll leave tomorrow. Thank you for your hospitality today, Brother Ma."

Ma Jingquan leaned out of his wife's arms and said hurriedly, "Thank you for coming from afar, why don't you stay for a few more days and experience the local customs and people?"

These words were just greetings and politeness. Since there were no monsters, how could they have the nerve to stay?

Xie Yanshu opened his lips to refuse: "No..."

"Okay." Gu Qianmeng smiled and responded softly.

Xie Yanshu looked at Gu Qianmeng and immediately understood the deep meaning in her eyes. There was something wrong with Yichen Cloth Shop, otherwise Gu Qianmeng would not have agreed to stay so presumptuously.

Shen Zhaozhao clearly saw Ma Jingquan's smile froze. As expected, Gu Qianmeng would take action when it was time to do so. This was the woman who controlled the plot.

The atmosphere at the table was a bit strange, but the children were unaware of it and just ate silently with their heads down. Mrs. Ma saw that Ma Jingquan looked a bit unhappy, so she tried to smooth things over: "That's good, we have beautiful mountains and clear waters here, and tomorrow the immortal masters can go out for a walk."

Ma Jingquan responded and smiled: "That's right, Fangrong, take the girls out to fly kites tomorrow to relax."

Fangrong is Mrs. Ma’s name, and Mrs. Ma nodded in agreement.

"Mom, I want that sister to feed me." The little girl lay on Aunt Sun's lap and pointed at Yu Miaoyi timidly.

Aunt Sun fed another mouthful of rice to her youngest son, then frowned and said, "No, my sister is a guest, how can you let her feed you?"

The little girl started to act like a spoiled brat by sitting on the ground, crying loudly, "I don't care, I don't care, I just want that sister to feed me."

Ma Jingquan was furious and scolded, "Ayao, don't be disobedient, get up from the ground quickly."

A Yao seemed a little afraid of his father. He immediately stood up and hiccuped.

She looked really pitiful, and she was also very cute. Yu Miaoyi couldn't bear to watch her any longer, so she waved at her and said, "Come here, I'll feed you."

Aunt Sun felt a little embarrassed. After saying thank you, she handed A Yao's bowl and chopsticks to Yu Miaoyi and concentrated on feeding her son.

When Shen Zhaozhao noticed that A Yao was coming over, Gu Qianmeng, who was next to Yu Miaoyi, froze all over and realized: there was something wrong with A Yao.

She sniffed lightly and did not smell any evil spirit on A Yao.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt as if her arm was pricked by a needle. She raised her hand and slapped it hard, and the sound attracted everyone's attention.

Shen Zhaozhao said shyly: "It's nothing, there's just a mosquito."

There was a constant buzzing sound around her, so she lifted the tablecloth and found a lot of mosquitoes underneath, so she kicked her legs and moved.

The weather in Luzhou County is hot, and there are many trees and ponds in Buzhuang, so it is relatively cool, so there are more mosquitoes at night.

Several mosquitoes bit her again. Shen Zhaozhao scratched her and muttered, "There are too many mosquitoes. Will they be carried away when I sleep at night?"

She turned her gaze to other people and found that there were also many mosquitoes around Xie Yanshu and Yu Miaoyi. Gu Qianmeng had experienced this once and was prepared in advance. There was a fragrance on her body, so the mosquitoes did not bite her.

As for Chu Yu, she looked over and happened to meet his eyes. There was an ambiguous look in his eyes. His surroundings were clean, without any mosquito bites. As expected, even mosquitoes knew not to bite demons.
