Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

By the time she arrived at her own yard, the matter had almost been resolved. Xu Tao pretended to be confused and asked, "Mother, what happened?"

Shen Ruoxue's face darkened. How could such a dirty thing be known to an unmarried girl? She angrily asked, "Who called the eldest and second young ladies here? Are you all turning a deaf ear to my words?"

"Mother, please don't be angry. I wanted to come back all along."

The two sisters stepped forward, one on each side, to calm the man down. Shen Ruoxue's expression relaxed a little, but the anger in her heart remained unabated.

The matter of the slave girl last night has not been resolved yet, and today two men came to have sex in the yard. Her family is really a failure. Fortunately, Tao'er rested at Ning'er's place last night, otherwise how would she explain to the master?

Finally, after Xu Tao's persuasion, Shen Ruoxue beat each man with thirty boards and drove him out. If the man was not a servant in the mansion, no one would care if she beat him to death. But thinking that this was a troubled time, she had to endure it.

As for Cui Liu, she was sold directly with Xu Tao's consent.

Of course, the things in Cui Liu's room could not be taken away, so Xu Tao directly rewarded a few maids and gave Bicao a few silver ingots, and used one to bribe the matchmaker to take good care of Cui Liu.

The remaining few were given to the man. He was determined to make Cui Liu's family notorious in the village. They were not good people, and Xu Tao felt at ease dealing with them.

"Bicao, find a few more beggars to go to the village and spread the word about this."

After Xu Tao finished explaining everything, she watched the maids move her things. After what happened yesterday, she could no longer live in Taoqiyuan, so she moved to the courtyard next to Zhining.

Xu Zhian waited and waited but no one came to notify him. Dejected, he slumped over the table and said, "Shuangxi, did my sister forget to come find me?"

"Second Young Master, it's only the middle of the night now."

Xu Zhian paced back and forth in the yard, secretly deciding to go look for his sister at the end of the morning hour. He frequently looked up at the sky, ready to set off as soon as the hour arrived.

The brother and sister met at the gate of the courtyard. Xu Zhian exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, are you here to take me out?"

"Yeah, let's go."

The brother and sister took a carriage and went straight to Yuelai Restaurant. Xu Zhian took them directly to the small private room on the left side of the top floor and ordered his favorite food without any hesitation.

"Zhi An didn't have breakfast today?"

"I used it, but the uncle's here is delicious. Sister must try it later."

The food came and Xu Tao tasted it. It was completely different from the last time. She thought it was just average last time, but she never expected the taste to be so different today.

After the waiter left, he was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

"Uncle!"

"Chian!"

After a brief moment of affection between the uncle and nephew, Shen Xiangxin turned his gaze to the little girl beside him and handed her a stack of banknotes. "This is my first time meeting you and I don't know what gift to bring you. Don't be offended, Taotao."

Xu Tao took it with a smile, "Thank you, uncle. I like it very much."

Seeing that she wasn't pretending, Shen Xiangxin immediately fell in love with the girl in front of him. He took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket and handed them over. "Taotao, take this. Uncle doesn't have much else but a lot of money. Go buy some jewelry you like. Oh, Linlang Pavilion is owned by Uncle. Feel free to take anything you like."

"How can I do that? I just took so many banknotes from my uncle. I can't accept them."

"Take it. You cannot refuse a gift from an elder."

Xu Tao's eyes curved into crescents. The uncle in front of her looked so handsome no matter how she looked at him. The old man of the Shen family was a little ungrateful.

After receiving the money, Xu Tao naturally had to return the favor and told the other party what he had discovered. However, there was no anger on the other party's face, as if he had already known about it.

Shen Xiangxin knew for sure that his chef had been bribed by the Fulai Restaurant across the street, and that they had let the other party be complacent for a while until he was free.

"Zhi An, I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake. The ones you bought are more delicious. Go buy some for your sister."

Xu Zhian didn't think much about it and happily agreed.

After the others left, Xu Tao moved a stool and sat in, staring at the other person with burning eyes. Shen Xiangxin, who had been in the business world for many years, felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and leaned back slightly.

"Uncle, do you want to overthrow the Shen family?"

"Although I have left the Shen family, this is the place where I was born and raised. Why would I want to overthrow the Shen family?"

The other party smiled with disgust in his eyes, and Xu Tao knew that he had guessed right.

"Because I have a grudge against my mother...hiss, uncle, you hurt me."

"How did you find out?"

"right now."

Shen Xiangxin's expression changed and she laughed out loud, "Smart little girl, this matter is not your business. Don't get involved. The Shen family is no longer something the Xu family can touch."

Xu Tao waved her hands, supporting her chin with one hand. "The Xu family can hardly protect themselves, so how can they have the time to deal with the Shen family?"

"What do you mean?"

"Uncle needs to tell me more stories before I can explain it to you."

Shen Xiangxin sneered, his cynical look suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were filled with deep hatred.

Shen Yaozong took advantage of his maternal grandfather's influence to become a fifth-rank official, but he felt humiliated and always belittled his mother at home to show his dignity.

He didn't know it at first. How could a hypocrite who was good at putting on a show not let anyone notice anything? These were told to him by his mother's maid who had escaped by chance. Unfortunately, she didn't hold on for long and followed her mother.

Shen Yaozong did not stop at belittling his mother. In order to use the power of the Prime Minister's family to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister and Li Gui's family as his legal wife, for the sake of his own reputation, he even murdered his mother with a chronic poison.

He had thought his father was a gentle and refined gentleman, but he never imagined that he was such an ugly hypocrite under the mask.

He knew that the result of him going to question the person would be nothing but death, so he slowly made plans in private. Unfortunately, the person was too shrewd and almost discovered his plan.

Shen Yaozong is extremely suspicious and all matters in the family must be under his control. If one wants to overthrow him, he can only set up his own family. However, as the only legitimate son in the family, he can only choose this stupid method.

This was also thanks to the help of that vicious woman. Ever since she entered the mansion, she had openly and secretly disliked him, the original wife's legitimate son, and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. He dodged her plans several times, so seeing that he wanted to leave the Shen family, she naturally supported him wholeheartedly.

He had a talent for business and earned a lot of money, but trying to deal with a third-rank official was like an ant trying to shake a tree. He always regretted his indulgence in his childhood. If he had put more effort into his studies, he would not have been so unsuccessful in both literature and martial arts.

Xu Tao sighed. Isn’t this a real Phoenix Man?

"Taotao, shouldn't you tell your uncle what happened to the Xu family?"
