Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Tao Jiuxi tightly grasped the handkerchief in his hand and quickly turned around, only to see that the person following him was Shen Zhiyi.

"Why are you here?" Tao Jiuxi's tone didn't seem surprised, but he felt slightly relieved when he saw that it was him.

Shen Zhiyi didn't expect Tao Jiuxi to react like this when he saw him. He frowned slightly and said, "Are you disappointed that I came?"

"That's not the case. Since you're here, I won't be in a hurry to leave. Come with me." Tao Jiuxi dragged Shen Zhiyi back, saying, "Can't you climb over the wall? Climb up to the roof and keep an eye on me to ensure my safety."

Before Shen Zhiyi could say anything, Tao Jiuxi took him away.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to see how many ghosts and monsters there are in Xie Mansion."

Tao Jiuxi ruffled his hair into a mess and tore his clothes slightly, looking like someone who had been bullied.

She carefully brewed her emotions and ran towards the main hall of the old lady's Cixin Residence in panic.

Before reaching the main hall, she cried out in a sobbing voice: "Grandma, Grandma, please save me..."

Her voice was so loud that it startled the old lady who was about to take a tranquilizer and go to bed.

When the old lady heard the sound, she came out with the support of the nanny beside her.

The moment she saw Tao Jiuxi, the old lady was obviously stunned.

"How did you get out...why are you here?"

As soon as Tao Jiuxi saw the old lady, tears immediately welled up in his eyes. He rushed to the old lady and grabbed her arm tightly.

Tao Jiuxi was using a lot of strength at this moment, but because she was crying so sincerely, the old lady just thought she was too flustered.

But because of the movements of Tao Jiuxi's hands, the old lady frowned slightly in pain.

"Grandma, please save me quickly. I'm afraid Jiuxi won't survive..."

The old lady quickly held Tao Jiuxi's hand and said, "Good girl, stop crying. Tell grandma what happened."

After saying that, he took Tao Jiuxi's hand and sat down in the main seat.

Tao Jiuxi burst into tears and choked up, saying, "Grandma, my aunt locked me up for three whole days. I thought she blamed me for my reckless words and actions... but I never imagined that she actually wanted me to commit myself... to Brother Jing Yan..."

Tao Jiuxi said this, looking extremely aggrieved at the moment.

"Don't cry, don't cry, is this really true?"

The old lady showed an expression of surprise, which then turned into a look of heartache.

She patted Tao Jiuxi's back to comfort her.

"It's fine if my aunt is like this, but Brother Jinghuan also..."

Tao Jiuxi wanted to say something but stopped himself, too embarrassed to finish what he was saying. Then he lay on the old lady's knees and sobbed.

The old lady's face was filled with grief and indignation. She angrily scolded, "How can these useless people act so recklessly?"

"Don't be afraid, Xi girl. Grandma is here. She will definitely take care of you. No one can bully you."

After hearing this, Tao Jiuxi felt a surge of grievances in his heart, like a flood bursting through a dam. His cries became even louder.

"Girl, stop crying. You have suffered a lot these days. Come, drink a glass of water to moisten your throat." As the nanny spoke, she handed the glass of water to Tao Jiuxi.

When Tao Jiuxi heard what the nanny said, she slowly stood up from the old lady's legs, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and looked at the nanny with gratitude, but did not reach out to take the teacup.

"My aunt hasn't sent me any food these past few days. For three whole days... I haven't even had a sip of water."

Tao Jiuxi's eyes were red and his voice was full of grievance.

The nanny passed the teacup towards Tao Jiuxi again and said, "Then drink some water quickly and stop crying. The old lady's heart is broken when she sees you like this."

Tao Jiuxi took the teacup and was about to drink it when she suddenly stopped. She looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma... could you please allow Jiuxi to go inside to sort out some clothes? That way, if someone comes..."

Seeing her disheveled clothes and messy hair, the old lady nodded slightly and said, "Go quickly."

Tao Jiuxi bowed slightly, then went to the old lady's room with the teacup.

After entering the house, Tao Jiuxi immediately began to look for where to pour out the cup of tea.

She looked around eagerly and saw a crabapple tree in a flowerpot under the window.

Tao Jiuxi originally wanted to pour the tea into the flowerpot, but then she saw the tranquilizer placed on the old lady's bedside, so she quickly drank a sip of the medicine and poured the water in the cup into the tranquilizer.

It turned out that the bowl of tranquilizer was just a little lighter in color, and it was impossible to tell the difference without looking carefully.

Then she picked up the teapot on the table and poured another cup.

After everything was settled, she took out the antidote Xie Yushu gave her from her sleeve and swallowed another pill.

She had always suspected that there was something wrong with the tea that the nanny brought out from inside the house. There was clearly a teapot outside, so why did she pour it out from the house?

Although she hoped that there would be no problem with the tea, she was still not completely at ease after everything that had happened in the Xie Mansion, so she made sufficient preparations.

Just as she put away the bottle, the old lady from the main hall came in supported by a nanny.

Seeing that Tao Jiuxi was indeed sorting out her clothes, the old lady slowly walked to the bedside and said, "Girl Xi, just stay here with me without worry. I don't believe that anyone would dare to bully you while you are here."

After Tao Jiuxi finished tidying up his clothes, he picked up the teacup on the table and drank it in one gulp, as if he had been thirsty for a long time.

"Look how thirsty you are! I will definitely punish your aunt severely. Xi girl, don't be sad."

"Fortunately, grandma made the decision, otherwise Jiuxi really doesn't know what to do. Jiuxi came so late, she must have disturbed grandma's rest." Tao Jiuxi lowered his head slightly, with an expression of gratitude and guilt on his face.

"Poor girl."

Tao Jiuxi walked to the old lady's bedside naturally, and as usual, he slowly sat down on the stool under the old lady's bed: "Grandma, let me sit here for a while. I don't dare to go back to my own yard."

"Just stay here and don't go anywhere." The old lady said lovingly, her eyes full of pity.

"Madam, the medicine is getting cold. Please take the tranquilizer first and then talk to the girl."

The nanny handed the medicine to the old lady and carefully helped her take it.

Tao Jiuxi quietly looked at the old lady taking the medicine, with a complicated emotion in her eyes and a glimmer of hope in her heart. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the old lady whom she treated like a grandmother would not be like her aunt.

After the old lady took the medicine, she took Tao Jiuxi aside to talk.

"Grandma, you look just like my own grandmother. You smile alike, and you look alike."

A warm smile appeared on Tao Jiuxi's face, and his eyes were full of affection.
