Chapter 151: Bad News

When Xiao Baozhu came over, Scholar Wong went to leave. He did not wish to be in the same room as Xiao Baozhu at all. It was Xiao Baozhu who was to blame for plotting against him before. He was a man who felt that the whole world was beautiful but Xiao Baozhu made him feel dirty. He hated being scammed.

Seeing Scholar Wong leaving, Qin Qingqing also went back to her room while her maid, Cui, was standing there watching.

Xiao Baozhu knew that Scholar Wong despised her but as she was used to it so she did not look particularly disappointed. She only felt surprised to see that Liu Qianqian had come to visit her.

Liu Qianqian passed the bottle of sunscreen to her saying that Ye Xiaoxian gave it to her. She then asked Xiao Baozhu, “How have you been doing recently?”

“Pretty good,” said Xiao Baozhu.

Judging from her appearance, Xiao Baozhu had become much more refined. She also had accessories on her head and silver bracelet on her wrist which suggested that she was treated as a concubine.

It was just that Liu Qianqian felt that Xiao Baozhu was not what she used to be. The previous Xiao Baozhu was very timid. She used to be very shy and lacking in confidence in what she did. She liked to stay quietly in corners and others would not really notice her.

However, the current Xiao Baozhu was different. Her gaze was firm and her behavior was cool. Even if she did not speak, one could feel her presence sitting beside her. Life truly could toughen a person up.

“Do you still read romantic stories as before?” asked Liu Qianqian.

Xiao Baozhu smiled bitterly. “No, I don’t. Romantic stories are not realistic. Now I’m reading Records of the Three Kingdoms.”

Liu Qianqian drew a deep breath and continued to ask, “Is it interesting?”

“It’s pretty nice. I can learn a lot of realistic and meaningful things.”

Liu Qianqian smiled. “That’s right. Those romantic novels are just used to kill time. I’ve told you before that those stories are not realistic at all and only naïve girls will believe them.”

She was so right. Just look how Xiao Baozhu ended up by believing such stories.

After they chatted for a while Liu Qianqian felt that it was about time for her to leave when Xiao Baozhu suddenly said, “Miss Qianqian, please say thank you to my sister-in-law for me. I’ll go back to see her soon.”

Liu Qianqian went to find Ye Xiaoxian again the following day. This time she went to Ye Xiaoxian’s house.

Xiao Baoshan had not gone to the dock yet. Seeing that Liu Qianqian had come to visit he knew that the women would have a lot to chat about, so he volunteered to grind the seasonings for Ye Xiaoxian so that she and Liu Qianqian could hang out freely.

Liu Qianqian saw this and suddenly became a bit jealous. “Little Ye, your Baoshan is such a good man!”

“Your Jia Zhenbo is also very good.”

Liu Qianqian immediately blushed. “This is too far-fetched.”

“It is going to happen then? When you went back home yesterday, did your pa say anything?”

“My pa said that if everything goes smoothly then the Jia Family would come to deliver their betrothal presents in the next couple of days.”

“Congratulations, someone finally will marry you.”

“You make it sound like I’m not popular at all.”

“Then why didn’t you get married sooner?”

“…”

The two of them teased each other a bit and then Liu Qianqian volunteered to talk about Baozhu. “I saw Baozhu yesterday. I feel that she’s leading a pretty nice life. It’s just…”

“Just what?” asked Ye Xiaoxian hurriedly.

Xiao Baoshan also stopped working.

Liu Qianqian said, “I can’t put my finger on what’s wrong. My cousin still ignores her but Baozhu doesn’t mind. Don’t worry, you two, her life is fine. Now she’s reading and calculating all the accounting books in the family and I believe that before long she’ll have worked through all the accounts of the Wong family. Also, she doesn’t read romantic novels anymore but instead is reading Records of the Three Kingdoms, so I feel that she has her own plan and is no longer the little girl she used to be.”

“That’s fine as long as she can take care of herself,” said Ye Xiaoxian.

Xiao Baoshan continued grinding the seasonings.

The two of them chatted for a little while longer and Liu Qianqian’s maid suddenly ran over in a hurry, panting, “Milady, bad news, bad news!”
