Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Tao Jiuxi was ultimately unable to get used to the dull and boring life here.

On the second day of living in the mansion, Shen Zhiyi went out and did not return. She was naturally happy that there were no clothes for her to wash.

But I am confined to this small yard every day, and the boredom in my heart is as uncontrollable as the wild weeds growing wildly in spring.

She was embroidering absentmindedly, but accidentally pricked her finger. The pain was so severe that she quickly pouted and blew gently on the bleeding finger.

"Sister, can I not embroider this flower?" Tao Jiuxi frowned and looked at Tao Qingwan with a wronged look, his eyes full of pleading.

Tao Qingwan put down the book in her hand and frowned slightly, looking like a classical beauty walking out of a painting.

She said softly, "Needlework requires calmness. You are so impetuous, you should practice more."

"I don't like this." Tao Jiuxi turned his head away, his face full of reluctance, and he looked as stubborn as a little stubborn donkey.

"Then why don't you come and read a book?" Tao Qingwan suggested gently, her eyes full of anticipation.

"No, I can't recognize all the characters." Tao Jiuxi refused decisively, with a hint of annoyance in her tone. She didn't have the patience to read a book.

"How about I walk with you in the yard?"

"I don't want to. The snow in the yard has melted. I want to go out."

She really couldn't understand how the ladies of noble families in ancient times could stay at home and never go out.

She couldn't survive a day without a cell phone and a TV.

Tao Qingwan looked embarrassed and felt that she seemed to be restraining her sister a little.

But her cousin wasn't home these days, and although no one had explicitly asked them to stay in the yard, they should have said hello to her cousin before going out. She had always been well-educated and polite, so she naturally wouldn't act rashly.

"Wait a little longer. Wait until your cousin comes back." There was a hint of helplessness in Tao Qingwan's tone, but more of determination.

"Alright, alright. I'll just walk around the mansion, alright."

"You go first." Tao Qingwan nodded gently, looked at her sister's back as she left happily, shook her head helplessly, and sighed secretly in her heart.

She knew her sister's temper, but she didn't know what to do.

Tao Jiuxi was bored and started wandering around Xie's house.

The Xie Mansion was incredibly large, yet the number of people inside was pitifully small. Whenever the maids and servants saw her, they would politely bow to her.

Tao Jiuxi was walking slowly, muttering to herself that this mansion was so boring. At this moment, a kitten suddenly came into her sight.

The kitten meowed, its voice clear and pleasant, as if it was calling its own kind eagerly.

But when the little guy heard Tao Jiuxi's footsteps, he was frightened and immediately ran to the other end of the corridor like a flash.

Tao Jiuxi has always loved these cute creatures, so he quickened his pace without hesitation and followed closely.

Just as Tao Jiuxi was about to cross the corridor and turn the corner, he was suddenly bumped into a strong chest. "Oh, my god..." Tao Jiuxi felt a sharp pain in his cheek, and his body staggered suddenly, and he was about to fall backwards.

In panic, she instinctively looked up and saw that the person coming was her cousin Shen Zhiyi.

A flash of surprise crossed Shen Zhiyi's face, but he quickly regained his cold expression. He didn't reach out to help Tao Jiuxi, but simply looked down at her body as she fell backwards.

Tao Jiuxi subconsciously supported herself on the ground with her hands. The moment she landed, she felt a sharp pain in her palms and buttocks. Before she could recover from the pain, she heard Shen Zhiyi's cold voice.

"Cousin, have some self-respect." Shen Zhiyi patted the clothes on his chest lightly, his face full of disgust.

Tao Jiuxi, sitting on the ground, had wanted to take a break, but when she heard Shen Zhiyi's words, she felt completely baffled. What? Did her cousin think she'd bumped into him on purpose? She looked up, meeting Shen Zhiyi's disdainful gaze, feeling helpless.

Tao Jiuxi felt a sharp pain in her right wrist from the stress she had just received. So, instead of rushing to get up, she sat on the ground and rubbed her wrist. She knew she was prone to speaking without thinking when anxious, and if she lost control and said something wrong, she would definitely suffer. She lowered her head and gently shook her wrist, but to Shen Zhiyi, it looked like she was feigning pity to gain sympathy.

Shen Zhiyi said with disdain: "What's the matter, cousin? Do you need me to help you up myself?" In addition to disgust, there was also a hint of teasing in his expression.

"Cousin, I didn't mean that." Tao Jiuxi spoke in an obedient tone, but still didn't raise his head. He just hoped that this "plague god" would leave quickly.

"Next time you walk, be careful."

"Cousin, please go first. Seeing your hurried steps, I guess you have something urgent to tell me." Tao Jiuxi felt a little unhappy. After all, this accidental collision was a matter between two people, but she could only bear it and couldn't help but reply with this sentence.

"So it was me who bumped into you?" Shen Zhiyi was a little surprised when he said this. He actually started to argue with a little girl.

"I bumped into my cousin."

"I'm glad you know. Why don't you get up?"

"Go on, I'm so annoying." Tao Jiuxi sat on the ground without raising his head. Although his tone was full of impatience, he didn't dare to say anything more. Oh, forget it, I'll just endure it for now and wait for my cousin to leave.

Seeing Tao Jiuxi's attitude and his lack of fawning, Shen Zhiyi realized that he had been wrong, but he felt embarrassed. He frowned, feeling a little angry. How could he have such a ridiculous idea?

Jiang Shun, who was following behind, looked at Tao Jiuxi sitting on the ground and felt a little sorry. He wanted to go forward to help, but since his master didn't say anything, he couldn't go forward to help. He could only look at Tao Jiuxi deeply and then follow Shen Zhiyi.

Shen Zhiyi had only taken a few steps when the anger in his heart grew like a flame. He couldn't understand why he had been so affected by a little girl. He suddenly stopped, without turning back, and said in a cold voice, "Get up! Don't embarrass yourself here."

Tao Jiuxi glared at Shen Zhiyi, feeling dissatisfied, and said through gritted teeth, "Yes." Then she struggled to stand up, rubbing her buttocks as she limped and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Shen Zhiyi called her.

Tao Jiuxi's heart tightened, her brows slightly furrowed, and she wondered to herself, "What is this bastard going to do now?" She looked at Shen Zhiyi's back warily.

"Be careful when you walk next time and don't be so reckless all day long." After Shen Zhiyi said this, he turned and left.

"What do you care?" Tao Jiuxi's voice was not loud, but Shen Zhiyi and Jiang Shun heard it clearly.

Shen Zhiyi continued walking, the annoyance in his heart still lingering.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped and said to Jiang Shun, "Do you think she is angry out of shame?"

Jiang Shun looked at his master and sighed in his heart: The master who has always been calm and composed now looks like a person who is angry and embarrassed.

But he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he could only remain silent.

Seeing Jiang Shun remained silent, Shen Zhiyi asked again, "What do you think?"

Jiang Shun wanted to say that Tao Jiuxi didn't mean it, but seeing his master's angry look, he stopped talking.

Shen Zhiyi didn't wait for Jiang Shun to continue, and started walking again. But he only took a few more steps.

"The little daughter of County Magistrate Tao is very naughty. What kind of girl is like this?" Shen Zhiyi shook his head slightly, feeling very dissatisfied with Tao Jiuxi.

"I think we should ask some teachers to teach her well." Shen Zhiyi said to himself.

"Teach her well?" Jiang Shun asked doubtfully.

Jiang Shun looked at his master's back and sighed helplessly. His heart was filled with curiosity. His master had always been calm and self-controlled. Given his skills, he shouldn't have been hit today.

The previous act of taking in the sisters was already very surprising, but it was understandable that it was for the purpose of investigating the plague.

But now he always had to argue with this Miss Tao Er, which really puzzled him.

Not only Jiang Shun was confused about this, even Shen Zhiyi himself didn't know why he was like this.
