Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered
Chapter 3 Asking for shelter
When Tao Qingwan saw her sister kneeling, she knelt down as well.
Tao Jiuxi lowered his voice and said to Tao Qingwan, "You're stupid. Find something to cushion your pain."
Then quickly adjust your mood.
She secretly thanked herself for being smart and clever, using the bag to isolate herself from the biting cold on the ground. Otherwise, she would not have been able to kneel on the icy ground for even a second. It was simply too cold.
We must work harder now and continue to perform this play.
Then, Tao Jiuxi sobbed and complained, "My elder sister and I have come all the way to the capital. If my cousin hadn't taken us in, we two sisters would have frozen to death in this icy and snowy place. My poor mother, when she was alive, often talked about the friendship she had with my aunt in her youth. I never thought that I would freeze to death here before I even saw my aunt. Everyone says that the Xie family in the capital is the most loyal and righteous, but now it seems..."
Oops, I'm at a loss for words! I need to think about this some more.
"Why are not you talking?"
"......" Tao Jiuxi complained in his heart, of course he was thinking of the words.
"If my cousin is willing to take me in, I will repay him even if I have to work like a slave in the future."
"My cousin is obviously a kind-hearted person, he will definitely not ignore us..."
"A thousand mountains and rivers are all about love, can you let me in?"
"I've come this far after so much trouble. Could you please take me in for a while?"
Tao Jiuxi outputted a lot.
"Do I look like a kind-hearted person?" A man's sharp voice came from above his head.
"Like, like..." Just like a Shura from hell.
"My mansion is not one you can enter or leave as you please."
"I just want to go in and don't want to leave. Can you let us in?" Tao Jiuxi felt like he was about to freeze to death at this moment, so how could he consider anything else.
Could my cousin's family be cannibalistic?
If you really want to leave later, you can't escape with hands and feet.
Tao Jiuxi pretended to cry even more sadly. After a while, she felt tear marks on her face and her clear mucus was itchy. She wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, and then grabbed Shen Zhiyi's cloak.
Tao Qingwan widened her eyes, her face full of shock. She wanted to stop it but didn't dare to speak out.
Tao Qingwan looked at her sister in a daze. Along the way, her sister always said that the Xie family probably would not take them in, but Tao Qingwan always had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Now that she has really arrived in the capital, she has given up the idea of staying at her aunt's house, but her sister is fighting so hard for it. She is indeed not as determined as her sister.
Tao Jiuxi is still performing hard.
"Cousin, I'm afraid there's no way you can leave today."
Shen Zhiyi's icy voice, which seemed to carry frost, came from above his head. The voice was so sharp and piercing that it made people shudder.
Tao Jiuxi's crying stopped abruptly. This cold voice seemed to carry endless pressure, as if it could swallow her up at any time.
"What...what happened?"
Tao Jiuxi was full of doubts, his voice trembling slightly, and he wondered in his heart if he had overacted.
She didn't know that this cloak was sewn by Shen Zhiyi's mother herself. Coincidentally, Shen Zhiyi was a bit of a germaphobe, and she actually dared to touch her cloak with her dirty little hands that had wiped her tears and snot!
The anger in Shen Zhiyi's heart surged like raging waves. He could not tolerate such behavior at all.
"Jiang Qu, take the two cousins down and properly place them there! Bring them to see me tomorrow morning!"
Shen Zhiyi ordered sternly, his voice carrying an unquestionable majesty.
"Yes, master." Jiang Shun responded respectfully.
Tao Jiuxi and Tao Qingwan looked at each other, both with confusion in their eyes.
"Forehead......"
"that......."
Tao Jiuxi was stunned for a moment and was speechless. After a moment, he murmured softly, "Sister, what's going on? Why did he suddenly let us into the mansion?"
Tao Qingwan shook her head slightly.
Jiang Qu led the way in front, while Tao Jiuxi and Tao Qingwan followed behind.
"Sister, we have to be careful tonight. Although our cousin looks handsome, he gives people the feeling of a living devil." Tao Jiuxi said softly.
"Don't talk about your cousin behind his back." Tao Qingwan responded in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid, elder sister, no one can hear me, my voice is so soft."
Tao Jiuxi thought that his elder sister was worried that the people in front would hear it.
"Even so, we can't talk about others behind their backs. After all, my cousin took us in." Tao Qingwan's face showed gratitude.
Ok.
Talking about people behind their backs is not what a dignified lady does.
But she is not a lady from a wealthy family, so she will do whatever she wants even if it means nothing.
Whoever makes you unhappy will be picked on by the crickets.
Tao Jiuxi looked around along the way. The Xie Mansion was really big, bigger than any park she had visited before. They walked for a long time before they arrived at the courtyard where they would temporarily live - Yayiju.
Along the way, Tao Jiuxi was memorizing the route. He was unfamiliar with the place and if he was not familiar with the terrain, he would not know the direction when running.
"Cousin, please stay here for now. I'll have someone bring you hot water for washing later."
Jiang Qu respectfully led the people into the house and lit a candle before leaving.
"Thank you." Tao Qingwan bowed slightly.
Tao Jiuxi followed suit, but his posture seemed a little stiff.
As soon as the two of them sat down, the servants brought charcoal and hot water. Tao Jiuxi couldn't help but sigh that the rich families were so efficient.
After they finished washing up, no one brought them dinner.
Tao Jiuxi sat lazily on the carved wooden chaise longue, gently stroking his rumbling stomach with one hand, his face full of worry.
"Sister, I'm so hungry." There was a hint of grievance and resentment in her voice.
Tao Qingwan was also starving at this moment, but she still suppressed her hunger and comforted her sister:
"Maybe it's because it's late today, and my cousin thought we had already had dinner, so no one brought us dinner."
"Then I'll go tell them that we haven't eaten yet." Tao Jiuxi said anxiously, his eyes full of desire.
"You can't do that." Tao Qingwan hurriedly stopped him.
"What?"
"This makes us seem ignorant of etiquette."
Tao Jiuxi was secretly complaining in his heart that his cousin would never have a good impression of him after what he had just done.
However, he didn't want Tao Qingwan to nag him.
"Okay. Then I'll drink some more water." Tao Jiuxi stood up helplessly, walked to the table, picked up the teapot, and started drinking water again.
Tao Qingwan looked at her sister drinking water, and she couldn't control the bitterness in her heart.
"Jiuxi, your elder sister is useless and can't even take care of you." Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of guilt and self-blame.
"Oh, don't call me Jiuxi, didn't I tell you? I changed my name to Tao Qingcheng. You see, your name is Tao Qingwan, and mine is Tao Qingcheng. We are a perfect match."
When Tao Jiuxi heard the original owner's name, he felt that the original owner's father was really partial. The name he gave to his sister sounded like a lady from a noble family, while his own name sounded like that of his sister's maid.
"How can you change the name given by your parents at will?"
Tao Qingwan frowned slightly, feeling that her sister seemed to have suffered a great shock since their mother's death.
His personality is very different from before. Although he looked less smart and clever in the past, he was more obedient. Now he is a little rebellious.
"Hey. How come nothing works when it comes to you?" Tao Jiuxi looked at the little water left in the teapot, poured out the last small cup, handed it to Tao Qingwan, and then lay on the bed in a spread-eagle position.
This bed is so comfortable and I haven't felt this warm environment for a long time.
"Don't complain. It's better to rest early today. When you fall asleep, you won't be hungry." Tao Qingwan comforted softly.
"I'm so hungry that I can't sleep." Tao Jiuxi muttered, staring at the ceiling with melancholy in his heart.
When will she be able to live a good life!
