Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine

As soon as Mother Xu sent Xiao Lan and Xin'er back to the yard, she went to pack Xin'er's things.

Since Cuizhu was not there, no one stopped them. They called a few maids and quickly got the things back.

Xiao Lan arranged for two maids to ask the cook to make some snacks, but the two maids pouted and were unwilling to go.

"Madam, we can't get the cooks to work. They are never willing to cook for us alone." Haitang said hesitantly.

She was not very good-looking and had a plump figure. When the maids were selected, she was thrown into the mistress's room. In theory, the maids in the mistress's room were good, but in the Sun family, the maids in the mistress's room were bullied.

Jasmine was a maid who came with the dowry, but she had had enough of the humiliation in the Sun family. She was very dissatisfied with Xiao Lan, but she was helpless... She just felt that this lady was a hopeless case. "Yes, last time you had an appetite and wanted to eat some rice cakes, they didn't even want to heat them up."

Seeing the two of them, Xiao Lan sighed. Now she didn't have the energy to go to the kitchen and argue again.

"Are there any good snacks on the street outside?"

Hearing this, Jasmine quickly replied, "Yes, the young master's maid Ziwei said that there is a rice cake shop on the street that sells delicious ones, including pumpkin flavor and red bean paste." Then her expression darkened, "It's not that Madam doesn't like sweet food, but that shop is a bit too sweet." At that time, Ziwei was eating cakes while showing off how happy she was with the young master, how much money she got in tips, and how much delicious food she had.

"It's sweet, so good! Go buy it!" As she said that, Xiao Lan took out a purse from the closet. That was her private money, secretly kept by Mother Xu.

Holding a string of copper coins from Xiao Lan, Jasmine and Haitang skipped away, and Xin'er quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes from behind.

"Mom, grandma doesn't allow us to eat outside food..."

Xiao Lan held the child's hand. The child's tiny fingers made her afraid to use any extra strength, fearing they would break. "It's okay, just listen to me from now on." Are there still additives in this day and age? Aren't we all safe to eat?

She sat on the couch and waved Xin'er to come over. Xin'er stood there without moving, but stared at her, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She could only get off the couch again and use all her strength to hold the child in her arms.

Finally, the two of them lay down on the couch together. Xin'er had never been treated like this before, and her body was a little stiff, not daring to move. Xiao Lan patted her back gently and said softly, "You don't need to be so reserved when you're with me in the future. I'm your mother, you can do whatever you want."

"Grandma said I can't always stay with you, otherwise I will get sick and my father and mother will be sad." Xin'er's body finally softened a little, and her little hands touched Xiao Lan's clothes back and forth.

"What else did grandma say?" Xiao Lan also used her fingers to gently fiddle with the small bun on Xin'er's head, which was soft and smooth.

"He also said to eat less, otherwise you will get sick." The little hand quietly wrapped around Xiao Lan's hair on her face.

"What else?" Xiao Lan's face was tickled by Xin'er, so she gently grabbed the little hand and kissed it on her lips.

"...Mother, Xin'er wants to live with you in the future." Xin'er suddenly hugged Xiao Lan's neck and buried her little face in her neck.

"Okay..." Xiao Lan suddenly felt suffocated again. She couldn't understand what life was like for a woman who couldn't even protect her own daughter. Passing away was so clean and simple, but if she hadn't come, how would this child survive?

Xin'er quickly fell asleep in her mother's warm embrace, but suddenly there was a noise outside the door, and Jasmine ran in crying, "Madam!"

The child in her arms was startled and opened his eyes dazedly. Xiao Lan was a little dissatisfied and turned to look at Jasmine with an impatient look on her face, "What are you shouting for!"

Jasmine looked at Xiao Lan's impatient expression. She knew she was being impulsive, but she wasn't afraid. After all, Madam never punished anyone. "Madam, the snacks I just bought were snatched away by the young master!" She was so angry that her face turned red and tears kept falling.

It was rare that the Madam bought some delicious food, and given her temperament she would definitely share it with them, but now it was snatched away. The most infuriating thing was that she was hit with a stick by the eldest young master. Thinking of Ziwei laughing at her, she became even angrier!

Xiao Lan wanted to scold Jasmine for being so useless. She bought food for the mistress and let a little kid snatch it away. But then she felt that she couldn't blame her. After all, how could a maid snatch something from the young master?

"Got it!" It looked like she wouldn't be able to eat the pastries for now. She stood up, feeling dizzy, and shivered as she leaned against the low table. Jasmine was filled with disdain at Xiao Lan's frail appearance. She was so desperate that she couldn't eat and was being bullied everywhere. What kind of maid could be so destitute?

Xiao Lan could see the meaning in Jasmine's expression. "Jasmine, I wasn't in good health before, so I really couldn't bring you any benefits. But you are my servant, and my death would be of no benefit to you. If you feel wronged by me, I can give you your indenture, and you can find a good family again."

"Really?" Jasmine had an idea in mind when she heard it.

If she were to be sent back to the Xiao Residence, she would surely be blamed by Master Xiao and Madam Xiao. If she were to stay in the Sun Residence, the best place for her now would be He Xiaoniang's. It was said that He Xiaoniang was generous to the servants, and now that she was pregnant, she would definitely have a say in the courtyard. "But this servant does not want to leave the Sun Residence."

She didn't want to leave the Sun Mansion, nor did she want to stay here. "Okay, I'll make arrangements for you after I've recovered in a few days. You can just stay here and take care of me. If you can serve me attentively, I'll also be willing to pay more attention to you."

"Yes, ma'am." Jasmine was satisfied. Although Xiao Lan didn't have much talent, she was very easy to talk to. Jasmine felt that with her vision and ability, as long as she could get into a good courtyard, she would definitely be able to make a good living! Then she could make Ziwei jealous.

"I'll go get some fruit for Madam, and make a pot of tea!"

"You reckless maid!" Madam Xu, who was bumped into by Jasmine, cursed as she entered the house. "Madam, I'm afraid that Miss Fang is dying. I heard she's only breathing in and not out." As she spoke, she covered Xin'er, who had fallen asleep on the couch, with a thin blanket.

"It's so hot, don't cover her. She's already weak, and it's not good for her to sweat too much." Xiao Lan really didn't like her own weak body, and she didn't like the child being so weak even more. It looked like she couldn't survive.

Because of the original owner's memory, she cares very much about this child. Even though there is no emotional foundation, she can't forget that kind of motherly love.

"Then put it on the belly." Mother Xu was still worried and put a corner of the blanket on the child's belly. Xiao Lan didn't care about Mother Xu's persistence, but just felt a little warm.

Her parents were busy with their business when she was little, so they weren't as attentive to her. This also helped her develop an independent streak early on. Fortunately, she didn't stray from the right path. She overcame her rebelliousness for a few years in junior high, and worked hard to get into a good university in high school.

Thinking of this, she began to regret it again. If only she hadn't been so independent. She could have warned her parents before the divorce, and prevented that scumbag from leaving all his property in tears! Xiao Lan thought again of the girl who was deceived into being a mistress and then jumped off the building under the infamy. She even remembered that girl's eyes were very beautiful! The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but kick the stool next to her, startling Mother Xu. She quickly patted Xin'er, fearing that she would wake the child.

Mother Xu just felt that Xiao Lan's temperament changed drastically after waking up this time!

Xiao Lan had no intention of caring about Fang Xiaoniang. After all, she had no interaction with the slightly crazy Fang Xiaoniang in her memory. It was only when Jasmine came in with fruits and tea and kept muttering that she had to listen to the gossip.

"Mrs. Fang is really pitiful. She is almost dying, but her own son is still snatching other people's snacks as if nothing happened. Now he is catching dragonflies in the yard!" Jasmine poured Xiao Lan a cup of tea. "I hope the funeral will not burden Madam. Madam is in good health." It sounded like she was afraid of causing trouble for Xiao Lan, but in fact she was afraid of dragging herself down again.

"The old lady always takes good things on herself and leaves the bad things to Madam. Now that Madam is feeling better, she will definitely tell you soon!" Mother Xu also took over.

"Besides, we've brought the young lady into the house today. I'm afraid Cuizhu will say a lot of bad things about us, and we'll have to report it to the master later." Jasmine glanced at the lady, lowered her head and muttered, retreating to the side. Although she felt that the lady had changed, she didn't think she could withstand the attacks of the old lady and the master.

"Don't make the lady sick again!"

"Shut up! If you don't know how to speak, just say less! I think you're just itching for trouble!" Mother Xu scolded. Jasmine pouted and said nothing more.

"Madam! Something bad has happened!" Another cry came, and Haitang rushed in. Xiao Lan couldn't help but frown. Why were all the maids in this room like this? Now she missed her former secretary who was able to handle everything on her own.

"Speak slower!" Mother Xu spoke first.

"Madam...Madam, please come over!"

"This..." Mother Xu looked at Xiao Lan, her eyes full of worry. The old lady was a difficult mother-in-law. It was this old lady who said that the master couldn't pass the exam because Xiao Lan had ruined his feng shui.

"I'll go see Miss Fang first. Haitang, take care of the young lady here. When she wakes up, give her some fruit and hot water, but no tea." Xiao Lan was about to go out after giving some instructions, but was stopped by Mother Xu.

"Madam, the old lady always makes things difficult for you. If you don't go in time..."

"She won't die in a while, but Miss Fang is dying soon." He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, told Jasmine to find a doctor quickly, and went out.
