Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

When she woke up again, what she saw was Tao Qingwan's face full of worry.

Tao Qingwan sat quietly in front of her bed.

"Jiuxi, you finally woke up. You really scared me to death." When Tao Qingwan saw Tao Jiuxi open his eyes, her eyes instantly became moist and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they were about to roll down at any time.

"Sister, don't cry. I'm not dead yet."

Tao Jiuxi forced a weak smile, trying to comfort Tao Qingwan.

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's, as if it could be blown away by a breeze.

"Don't talk nonsense." Tao Qingwan could no longer hold back her tears, which burst out like a flood, and her cries echoed in the room.

"I...I won't say anything anymore. It will be ugly if you cry again." Tao Jiuxi tried to coax Tao Qingwan with a weak voice.

She knew she had made her sister worry again.

"Sister, do you know where our father is?"

"My uncle said that my father was sent out on official business by the emperor. I guess what we saw that day was just a misunderstanding."

"That's good."

Tao Jiuxi felt more at ease after hearing this.

Seeing that Tao Qingwan had finally stopped crying, Tao Jiuxi asked with a trembling voice:

"Why did my cousin let us go?"

"I haven't seen my cousin either, but you have been ill for a few days with a high fever. Jiang Qu came to deliver a message, saying that he would send us to Xie's house..." After Tao Qingwan finished speaking, she looked at Tao Jiuxi with heartache in her eyes.

She gently held Tao Jiuxi's hand, as if wanting to give her some comfort.

"He never came?"

“Never…”

As expected, Shen Zhiyi did not believe her and did not forgive her. Even though he knew that she was on a hunger strike and was sick, he never came to visit her.

Tao Jiuxi heard this and remained silent.

It took Tao Jiuxi half a month to recover.

These days, her aunt came to see her every now and then, but Xie Jinghuan came every day. However, Xie Jinghuan always stood at the door for a long time every time, gave some interesting little things, and then left.

His body gradually recovered after treatment, and Tao Jiuxi also tried hard to force himself not to think too much about those annoying things.

However, she was also deeply confused. She felt listless all day. Whether it was the sight of blooming flowers or the melodious chirping of birds, nothing could stir a ripple in her heart. The feeling of exhaustion followed her everywhere, lingering around her, plunging her into an inexplicable depression.

During the time she stayed at Xie's house, Tao Jiuxi never left her yard. Tao Qingwan felt both distressed and helpless when she saw her sister who was always busy.

The spring breeze is like fine wine, quietly moistening all things and touching them without them being aware of it.

Today, the weather is particularly pleasant. Seeing that Tao Jiuxi is still so lifeless, Tao Qingwan insists on taking her out of the yard for a walk.

Although Tao Jiuxi was reluctant in her heart, she really didn't want Tao Qingwan to worry about her, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Jiuxi, look, spring has arrived, and the white cranes have come out to play in the water. You should also cheer up." Tao Qingwan raised her hand and pointed at several white cranes in the pond in the backyard of the Xie family, and advised Tao Jiuxi earnestly.

"Sister, they have to come out in winter, otherwise how will they fill their stomachs?" Tao Jiuxi smiled lightly and said slowly.

Tao Qingwan did not give up. Wherever she saw, she pointed it out to Tao Jiuxi, hoping that she would be infected by this lively scene.

Tao Jiuxi could only try his best to cooperate, just to avoid worrying his sister.

After they walked around, Tao Jiuxi felt a little tired and planned to go to the pavilion in the inner garden to rest for a while.

As soon as I arrived at the pavilion, I saw a maid squatting on the ground, picking up ceramic fragments in a panic.

The little girl's face was filled with anxiety, and she frantically tried to collect the fragments as quickly as possible, as if she was afraid of being discovered.

When Tao Qingwan and Tao Jiuxi saw this, they immediately stepped forward and squatted down to help her pick up the fragments.

When the little girl saw someone coming, she was startled, her body shook violently, and her face was full of nervousness.

She stared at the two girls, as if trying to figure out why they came.

I thought that the girls I chose were strangers and had no maids to serve them, so they must be my two cousins ​​who were staying with me.

She saw that the two girls had no ill intentions and were enthusiastically helping to pick up the porcelain pieces. Only then did she relax a little and said softly, "Thank you, girls."

Tao Jiuxi was picking up the fragments, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his fingers.

She looked down and found that her hand was scratched by the porcelain pieces on the ground. A long cut appeared on her finger and blood immediately flowed out.

Seeing this, Tao Qingwan immediately picked up her handkerchief and quickly helped her wipe the wound.

Her face was full of concern, and she kept asking, "Does it hurt?"

Tao Jiuxi frowned slightly and shook his head.

I just feel that I have been unlucky recently.

Then she carefully wrapped her bleeding hand with a handkerchief, trying to avoid touching the wound again.

At this moment, a conversation sounded in the distance, and the sound gradually became clearer as it got closer.

When the Tao sisters heard the sound, they looked over and saw a group of young girls of the same age as them slowly walking towards them.

"Susu, I asked you to get a blue and white dragon and phoenix vase, why are you so slow?" The girl who spoke looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a light purple dress, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming violet.

She had a pretty face, but there was a hint of impatience in her eyes.

However, when they got closer, they saw a maid named Susu and the Tao sisters picking up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

The woman in purple immediately became furious and raised her hand to slap Susu hard in the face.

Susu's body suddenly tilted and she fell on the porcelain piece. A long cut was immediately made on her hand and blood gushed out instantly.

When she struggled to get up, she found that there was a cut on her face, and the wound was shocking.

She stood up tremblingly and kowtowed immediately, saying over and over again: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die."

"Do you know how expensive this blue and white dragon and phoenix vase is? Even if ten of you died, it would still not be enough to compensate you." The woman in purple was even more arrogant at this moment. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of contempt and anger.

Tao Jiuxi and Tao Qingwan also slowly stood up.

Tao Qingwan stepped forward and bowed, "Sister Yuhua."

"Why are you here?" Xie Yuhua asked with annoyance, the anger on his face still undiminished.

"My sister and I saw that the weather was very good today, so we went out for a walk." Tao Qingwan's voice was soft and gentle, with a faint smile on her face, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Xie Yuhua stepped back, her eyes full of disgust: "Since you are sick, don't leave the yard and let others take away your illness."

Upon hearing this, Tao Jiuxi just glanced at the woman in front of him indifferently.

She really didn't feel like saying anything more to Xie Yuhua today, so she ignored her.

"Sister, let's go back." Tao Jiuxi's voice sounded a little tired.

"Okay." Tao Qingwan bowed again, then turned around and followed Tao Jiuxi.

Tao Jiuxi turned around without looking back, intending to leave this unhappy place.

But at this moment, the maid named Susu on the ground said anxiously:

"My dear lady, it wasn't me who broke the blue and white dragon and phoenix vase. It was my cousin, Miss Tao. It was my cousin, Miss Tao, who broke it."

As Susu spoke, she pointed at Tao Jiuxi with a trembling finger.
