"Yo, what kind of tea is this? It's so fragrant, I've never tasted your wife before."

Mao Cuilan unrestrainedly took a cup from the table, filled it to the brim and gulped it down.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is no better than my family's tea foam." Mao Cuilan put down the cup with disgust.

Xia Yi had specially bought the tea leaves in the town for Xiao Linmu, they were good quality pre-rain dragon well, after she bought them, Xiao Linmu did not even have time to drink them, they had already entered Mao Cuilan's stomach.

If Xiao Linmu knew, who knows what kind of expression he would have.

Xia Yi's gaze swept across the room once more, but she still could not find Xiao Linmu's hiding spot.

Mao Cuilan noticed her movements, "Stupid girl, I'm talking to you, where are you looking? Is this how you treat your elders? "

"Aunt probably didn't come to see me, did she? Did she come to see the bed I bought?" Xia Yi had no intention to beat around the bush with Mao Cuilan, and directly popped it.

Mao Cuilan had even prepared a long speech, but now that she had saved it all, she asked directly: "Speak, where did the money come from? Your parents are not here anymore. As your biological aunt, I have the duty to teach you, so that you don't have to take a detour. "

"What does Aunt mean by that? My money comes from a clean source, so I don't have to worry about it. " Xia Yi said coldly.

Mao Cuilan said: "Don't be so stubborn, who doesn't know how much a bed is? You think you can get that much money? "

"So …" Whose money did my aunt think I had stolen this time? I think that Aunt Wu is also outside. Why don't we invite him over as well?

Xia Yi stood at the door and looked out. She could see half of Lady Wu's head peeking through the crack in the door, so she shouted in that direction: "Since the Aunt Wu is here, don't stand at the door."

Lady Wu pushed the door and entered, embarrassedly smiling at Xia Yi: "I came to find your wife."

Xia Yi was only listening to these words, she did not take it seriously.

The Wu Family was famous for being nosy in the village. When Xia Yi came back to buy the bed, she coincidentally met with the Wu Family.

It was just that she did not expect Mao Cuilan to arrive so quickly.

"Yue Yue, go and call Granny Liu over as a witness. Otherwise, we might be framed again." Xia Yi was purposely saying these words for Mao Cuilan and Madame Wu to hear.

After all, Xia Wen Rong was the one who used the money to gamble, but she came to Xia Yi's house to cause trouble for a while.

"Child, the matter is already in the past, why are you bringing it up again?"

"Does Aunt think it's over?" Xia Yi's gaze was deep and unfathomable, making people unable to read her emotions, "You people framed me for no reason and accused me of stealing the money, but you still haven't apologized to me, how can you go over there?"

Mao Cuilan looked at Xia Yi deeply, "No matter what, we are still your elders, is this how you speak to your elders?"

"Then you should at least act like an elder first." Xia Yi's tone was ice-cold, and did not carry even the slightest of ups and downs.

The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense.

The Wu family saw that the situation was not good and quickly said, "It was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding... "Why be so serious?"

"Misunderstanding? "Why do I feel like my aunt came here just to denounce me?" Xia Yi looked at Mao Cuilan, and deliberately asked, "What do you think? Aunt? "

Mao Cuilan coldly snorted, "Hmph, whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I need you to clearly explain the origin of this money. Otherwise, even if I'm your own aunt, I wouldn't help you."

Mao Cuilan's righteous and uncaring attitude only made others think that she was an upright person.

Only Xia Yi knew, that Mao Cuilan had never respected Xia Yi's personality, if not she would not have insisted that Xia Yi stole the money every time she was asked.

"Haha …" Xia Yi did not refute him and only squeezed out the word "hehe" from between his teeth.

While they were speaking, Granny Liu had already entered the door.

Before Xia Yi could say anything, Mao Cuilan opened her mouth first, "Aunt Liu, it's great that you're here, why don't you give me a review. Xia Yi bought a bed, I was afraid she had taken a wrong turn, so I asked her where the money came from.

"So you accused me of stealing money for my own good?" Xia Yi said without a trace of politeness.

Mao Cuilan stood up, her hands on her waist, as she said arrogantly: "If not, where did you get your money from? Did you pick it up if it wasn't stolen? "

Granny Liu slowly said: "Her wife, you really wronged your child, the child's money was indeed earned by yourself."

"Aunt Liu, don't help her speak up. I know you treat her well, but I can't just sit by and watch her take the wrong path while you cover for her …" Mao Cuilan thought that in order to help Xia Yi, the Granny Liu was speaking nonsense, and did not take the words of the Granny Liu to heart.

Granny Liu said: "Don't you know that the Red Bean Cake formula for Xiangji Shop was bought from Xia Yi?"

Xia Yi had told Granny Liu about selling formulas before.

No matter what she said, Mao Cuilan knew that Xia Yi did not have a good background. This was one of the reasons why Xia Yi called Granny Liu over, and wanted to borrow Granny Liu's mouth to say this matter, so that Mao Cuilan would not be able to say anything.

"How is this possible?" Mao Cuilan was startled for a moment, and then muttered.

She suddenly thought back to a few days ago when she saw Xia Yi cooking red beans in the kitchen. Although she said that it was impossible, she had actually already believed it slightly.

Lady Wu's eyes widened as she asked, "The Xiangji Shop that Aunt Liu mentioned is the most famous snack shop in the Lingshan Town?"

"It should be, according to Chang Sheng, the shopkeeper from Xiangji Shop was very generous, he asked for ten taels of silver to buy the Red Bean Cake's formula." Granny Liu added.

"I heard that Xiangji Shop's dim sum master came from the capital, why would the Xiangji Shop's shopkeeper take a fancy to Xia Yi's Red Bean Cake?" The Wu family didn't believe it, Xia Yi had never learned how to make pastries, how could she compare with the dim sum masters in the capital?

Granny Liu frowned, her face full of pride: "Xia Yi's Red Bean Cake is so delicious!"

"If Aunt Wu doesn't believe it, then go and find the Xiangji Shop's Boss Hee to ask. Aunt, Aunt Wu, if there's nothing else, please give me some space. I'm going to make the bed. " Xia Yi said coldly.

Mao Cuilan came over in high spirits, but left dejectedly in the end.

This was also because the news that the Granny Liu had told him had impacted Mao Cuilan too much. If not, Mao Cuilan would not have let this matter go so easily.

Granny Liu sighed: "I'll be going too, if there's anything else, please get Xia Yue to call for me. If I can't help, please ask Chang Sheng."

"Alright." In front of the Granny Liu, Xia Yi withdrew all of the hostility she had been emitting and her tone became much softer.

After sending Granny Liu out the door, she returned to her room and saw that Xiao Linmu was still sitting upright in his original position. His posture had not changed at all, as if he had been sitting there the entire time.

It was just that a dark cloud seemed to have covered his face, making it seem even colder …
