The special agent doctor traveled through time and space and became a fool. Although he was stupid,

The old lady pretended to be angry: "Guards in my courtyard? Yuan'er, mother didn't know about this matter. Someone must have deliberately framed her. Xiaoxiao is my granddaughter. How could I possibly harm her?"

Shi Yuan said coldly, "At this point, mother still refuses to admit it? Besides mother, who else can mobilize the people in her courtyard?"

Shi Yuan's face was full of suppressed anger.

What kind of thing is this? His own mother harmed his own daughter. Both the palm and the back of his hand are important to him.

No one could understand the torment in his heart at this moment.

Shi Xiaoxiao looked at Song Dai in confusion: "Mom, what does Daddy mean? Did Grandma burn down Xiaoxiao's house?"

Song Dai's eyes were filled with coldness.

She not only wanted to burn down the house, she also wanted to burn Xiaoxiao to death. There was no one in the world more vicious than her. She even didn't let her own granddaughter go.

Shi Xiaoxiao looked at the old lady, "Grandma, did you burn Xiaoxiao's house? Why? Did you burn it because you didn't like Xiaoxiao's house?"

The old lady looked at Shi Xiaoxiao, and the disgust that flashed across her eyes did not escape Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes, and was also seen by Shi Yuan.

"Why would grandma burn Xiaoxiao's house? Grandma likes Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao's house. Does Xiaoxiao trust grandma?"

Of course I don’t want to burn down your house, I want to burn you.

Shi Xiaoxiao paused and said, "I don't believe it."

How dare you ask whether I believe you or not? You are such a useless person.

Hearing this, the old lady stopped looking at Shi Xiaoxiao and looked at Shi Yuan.

"Yuan'er, don't you trust me either? Just because they're in my courtyard, does that mean they must have been ordered by me? What if they were bribed? Will you force me to confess?"

"Your father died young, and your mother worked hard to raise you. Now you are forcing your own mother to question you about something whose truth has not yet been ascertained."

"Do you still have a conscience?"

The old lady covered her chest with her hands and kept patting the side table, as if she was heartbroken by Shi Yuan's behavior.

"Since Yuan'er feels that Xiaoxiao was murdered because of me, and the arsonist came from my yard, I have no way to defend myself. Only death can prove my innocence."

After saying that, she resolutely ran headfirst into the pillar beside her.

Shi Yuan was shocked and quickly dodged in front of the pillar.

He was shocked and incredulous. He could not believe that his mother would even think of banging her head against the wall in order to escape punishment.

What's the harm in admitting it? As long as she realizes her mistake, he won't let her die.

After all this, Shi Yuan did not believe her, but instead firmly believed that she was the culprit.

The old lady bumped into Shi Yuan, and although she was not injured, her head was hit and she felt dizzy.

Nanny He hurried to support her and cried out of heartache for her.

She knew what the old lady had done, and she was also aware that the old lady disliked her granddaughter Shi Xiaoxiao. Because the matter of Nanny Zhang had stimulated her, when the old lady wanted to kill Shi Xiaoxiao, she did not stop her, but instead came up with ideas.

Now that the matter has been exposed, the old lady has not pushed her out, but wants to bear the consequences alone.

That being the case...

Nanny He supported the old lady, with a look of determination and resolve on her face.

"Madam, why are you doing this?"

She looked at Shi Yuan, knelt in front of him, and kowtowed continuously.

"Prime Minister, this has nothing to do with the old lady. This old servant did it. This old servant did it."

"Because of the Second Young Lady's careless words, this old servant lost Aunt Zhang, who had been with her for decades. Therefore, this old servant resents the Second Young Lady in his heart."

"So they bribed the two, Big Head and Little Head, to set fire at night to avenge Aunt Zhang. The old lady knew nothing about this. You are wrong to blame the old lady."

"Please, my Lord, execute me. I deserve death."

The old lady stood there, with unspeakable pain and reluctance on her face. She looked at Nanny He and shook her head.

"Madame He, you...you are so confused!"

She wanted to tell Nanny He that she didn't need to take the blame for herself, but she couldn't say it now. She couldn't let Nanny He's sacrifice go to waste.

"Old Madam, I deserve to die. I made a big mistake behind your back and almost got you into trouble. I deserve to die. Madam, please don't be sad for me. I brought this upon myself."

Shi Xiaoxiao felt a little touched when watching this drama of deep affection between master and servant.

Although this old woman is hateful, she has several loyal servants who are willing to live and die for her.

Now that she has lost her right-hand man, it is also a huge blow to her.

Nanny He was beaten to death with a stick. Listening to the screams, the old lady's heart ached.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people feel depressed and uncomfortable.

Shi Xiaoxiao coughed a few times and fanned her nose with her hands. Song Dai immediately chuckled and said.

"Now that the truth has been revealed and the wicked have been punished, let's just leave it at that. Mother, please take good care of yourself. We will be leaving now."

Shi Yuan looked at his depressed mother and felt helpless.

"My son sees that my mother is not in good spirits. I will stay in Changchun Pavilion to recuperate for the time being. I will also eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures for the Prime Minister's Mansion, and pray for the blessings of my children and grandchildren."

Shi Xiaoxiao smiled secretly. This time, she failed to harm anyone and was instead grounded to the house.

After beating Nanny He to death and confining the old lady to her room, Song Dai took Shi Xiaoxiao back home with satisfaction.

Watching Shi Xiaoxiao and her family go out happily, the old lady collapsed on the ground.

In just two days, she lost two close old friends one after another.

She was even confined to the yard by her own son. At this moment, she seemed to have aged several years overnight.

His eyes were unfocused and his mind was wandering.

Tears rolled down her eyes, and her hatred for Shi Xiaoxiao intensified.

Shi Yuan converted the Bamboo Forest Garden, which had been vacant for a long time, into Xixiao Courtyard for Shi Xiaoxiao to live in, and then renovated it inside and out.

The Xixiaoyuan is now a bit more spacious than the previous one.

The bamboo forest in the courtyard is deep and lush, with swaying bamboo shadows, which is refreshing.

The former Bamboo Forest Garden was named after this lush green bamboo.

Because it has not been used for a long time, it needs to be renovated and it will not be completed quickly.

So Xiaoxiao has been living in Song Dai's courtyard these days, eating and living with her.

Whenever facing Shi Yuan, Shi Xiaoxiao always pretends to be dull.

A few days later, Xixiaoyuan was renovated and Shi Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to move in.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she was no longer just pretending to be stupid, she was really stupid!

It’s okay to pretend to be a fool occasionally, but it’s really tiring to pretend to be a fool every day!

Xiaoyuan and Xiaotao were happily cleaning the yard.

"Miss, this yard is really big and the scenery is nice, but it's a bit deserted."

Xiao Tao said as she put the clothes away.

Xiao Yuan echoed, "Yes, Miss, why not pick a few more people from the servants' courtyard to come to Xixiao Courtyard? The other young ladies in our mansion all have four or five personal maids, but you are alone and lonely."

Shi Xiaoxiao chuckled: "Do you feel tired from working? If you are too tired to handle it, I will send a few people up."

"Not tired."

"Not tired."

The two said in unison.

There is a yard in the mansion specifically for miscellaneous work, and they are not needed for general chores. They just follow Shi Xiaoxiao around, running errands and serving tea and water, which is really not tiring.

Xiao Tao: "How can I be tired following the young lady? It's just that I feel that there are not enough people around the young lady. It's too lonely. It would be more lively if there were more people around her."

Shi Xiaoxiao stood in front of the green bamboo, letting the breeze caress her cheeks, feeling cool and comfortable: "As long as I'm not tired, it's fine. I don't like having too many people waiting on me. Just the two of you are enough."

Shi Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Xiaoyuan putting a pile of colorful clothes on the top of the closet.

She couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"

Could it be that the original owner used to like wearing colorful clothes?

Xiao Yuan replied, "Miss, this was sent by the lady."

Madam? Qian?

Does she have such bad taste? What her daughter is wearing is not ugly, so why does she give her such ugly clothes?

"Why did she send these clothes?"

"Miss, you forgot that your coming-of-age ceremony is in January. These clothes are for the coming-of-age ceremony."

"Actually, Second Aunt also prepared clothes for the young lady, but since ancient times, everything for the young lady's coming-of-age ceremony has been prepared by the legitimate mother."

"Second Auntie prepared these just to prevent any unexpected events. Master loves Miss, and Madam dare not be harsh on her. Although these clothes are not that beautiful, fortunately they are made of the best materials."

Shi Xiaoxiao thought to herself, the coming-of-age ceremony? She remembered that the emperor granted the marriage one month after the coming-of-age ceremony.

So, she's getting married in two months?

Is she going to marry the prince?

No way, she's going to marry that prince?

She suddenly shuddered. No, no, that dog prince was not a good guy. She had to find a way to cancel the engagement.

If the emperor grants a marriage, not accepting it would be disobeying his order, and there is no escape or hiding.

Even though the other party is the prince, she cannot take the initiative to cancel the engagement, otherwise the emperor will accuse her cheap father of treason and she will be doomed.

The prince must take the initiative to cancel the engagement.

The prince likes Shi Wanwan and dislikes her stupidity, so it should be easy to force him to cancel the engagement.

It seems that she is trying her best to match Shi Wanwan with the prince, and trying her best to act stupid so that the prince will hate her to the extreme.
