Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Xu's face was filled with anxiety. She paced back and forth, saying, "Mei'er, just let someone else burn it. Jiuxi has already come up the mountain to pick you up. Why bother letting her go?"

All she wanted now was to get down the mountain as soon as possible. The temple on the mountain made her feel a little depressed, and she was also worried that something might go wrong if she continued like this.

As she spoke, she wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, her eyes revealing anxiety and helplessness.

"Mother, I feel really guilty. I will be back soon with Miss Tao. Please excuse me, your aunt, to wait here." Xie Shumei lowered her head slightly, with a seemingly sincere expression of guilt on her face.

She held the piece of paper tightly in her hand, her fingers turning white from the force.

"Don't waste time, lead the way."

Tao Jiuxi said impatiently, then turned to Mu'er and said, "Mu'er, go to the front and burn some incense for the people affected by this disaster and pray for their safety."

When Mu'er heard this, she immediately frowned, her face full of reluctance, and she muttered: "Miss, I will accompany you and come back to burn incense."

She thought to herself that she was worried about Tao Jiuxi being alone with Xie Shumei, and always felt that Xie Shumei had bad intentions.

"Just go if I tell you to." Tao Jiuxi refused firmly, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

Just as Xie Shumei was holding a mule of paper and walking in front in a pretentious manner, Tao Jiuxi rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Madam, why don't you accompany me?"

"Me?" Xie Ningqiu pointed at herself in surprise, with a look of confusion and hesitation on her face.

Her heart tightened, not knowing what Tao Jiuxi was up to, and she subconsciously took a small step back.

"Madam drugged her own son at that time, so she must have committed a serious sin. Madam, please go with us and burn some of the medicine as well." Tao Jiuxi suggested with a smile, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes. She just wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Xie Ningqiu to see her reaction.

Seeing Xie Ningqiu's reluctance, Xie Shumei panicked, fearing that her plan would be disrupted, and hurriedly persuaded: "Aunt, you should also accompany Mei'er."

Xie Ningqiu hesitated for a long time, and only nodded reluctantly after Xie Shumei's repeated persuasion, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Xie Shumei was leading the way quickly in front. Her steps were a little hurried, as if she couldn't wait to reach her destination.

After a while, I saw a pagoda standing deep in the bamboo forest, and next to it was a round incense burner. The incense burner was a bit old, and the patterns on it had become a little blurred due to the erosion of time, but you could still see its former beauty.

After arriving, Tao Jiuxi folded his arms across his chest, looked up and down at the incense burner, then glanced at Xie Shumei and said, "Burn it."

Her tone was cold and contained a hint of disdain. This Xie Shumei was unwilling to go down the mountain peacefully and had to make trouble.

"Can you be more polite to Mei'er?" Xie Ningqiu couldn't help but speak. She frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"To her? Haha." Tao Jiuxi sneered, with a look of disgust on his face.

Xie Shumei didn't seem to care what Tao Jiuxi said at the moment. She placed a pile of paper beside the incense burner. She picked up a piece of paper covered with words and said to herself in a sad tone, "I just want to be a concubine for my cousin. I have never had any other plans."

"If you want to plot something, you have to do it, right?" Tao Jiuxi asked calmly without any surprise.

"I have no other plans!"

Xie Shumei's tone changed completely at this time, and it was filled with hatred. Her eyes stared at Tao Jiuxi, as if they were about to spit fire.

She lit a piece of paper, and the flame immediately ignited with a "whoosh", the fire instantly grew bigger, and hot air hit her face.

Tao Jiuxi stood far away, his hands still folded across his chest, watching coldly.

When Xie Ningqiu heard Xie Shumei's tone, she couldn't help but frown. She felt a little worried and felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense.

"I'm just a concubine, why can't you tolerate me?" Xie Shumei threw another piece of paper with words of repentance into the incense burner. The paper instantly burned in the incense burner. She asked with resentment, her teeth chattering.

Tao Jiuxi felt helpless. Xie Shumei was still stubborn. "You knew that your cousin and I were in love, yet you still interfered? Since I clearly told you it was impossible, why did you drug me?"

"And now, you're still complaining to me? Your father spent all his money and effort, and I'm sparing you out of respect for his hard work. I advise you not to act like a demon."

"Haha, Tao Jiuxi, you caused me to be whipped by my father and sent to this deserted place, but you tried every way to please my father." Xie Shumei's voice became sharp, her body trembled slightly, and her hands clenched into fists.

"My mother told me yesterday that my father also told you that it would be great if you were his daughter." A hint of jealousy and resentment flashed in Xie Shumei's eyes. She continued, "Tao Jiuxi, what gives you the right? You've hurt me so much, and you still want me to live a prosperous life at home?"

Her tone gradually became fierce, her face twisted, and she looked like she wanted to eat someone, as if she would pounce on Tao Jiuxi at any time.

Xie Ningqiu had never seen her usually well-behaved niece like this before. Her body trembled slightly, and she shrank back a step. Her hands subconsciously clutched the corners of her clothes, and a sense of unease and panic welled up in her heart. "What's wrong with Mei'er? Why has she become so strange and terrifying?"

Xie Shumei's eyes were red, filled with madness and resentment. As she spoke, she used both hands to push all the papers in at once.

But the remaining papers were all blank white papers without a single word written on them, and they were crumpled in her hands.

Tao Jiuxi looked calm. She quietly put her hand in her sleeve and tightly held the poison that Xue Yunmeng brought for her. Although she felt a little nervous, she was more calm.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? What do you want? What can you do?"
