Chapter 31 Two Couples Show Affection for Jiang Mianmian
Shen Xiuyan's smug smile froze instantly, replaced by a look of insecurity. He stammered, "..."
"No...no way? I...I can hear my mother's thoughts after all?"
Li Tingxue glared at him and scolded him irritably, "Hmph! What good is it if you can hear my thoughts? In that critical moment, it was clearly my mother-in-law who saved me."
And you could only stand there dumbfounded, watching helplessly, unable to help at all! Luckily, my mother-in-law stepped in just in time to rescue me from this dire situation.” After saying that, she glared at Shen Xiuyan.
The couple looked at each other and saw the same confusion and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Faced with such a bizarre situation, they were at a loss for what to do and found it quite perplexing.
"Oh dear, this is troublesome. Whose special ability is this? Should we try to find out more?"
Shen Xiuyan frowned and muttered to himself.
If Jiang Mianmian knew what these unscrupulous couple were thinking right now, she would definitely be furious and slap them hard until they came to their senses.
Those two are terrifying and shameless. She should get as far away from them as possible. Neither of them are good people. Right now, she just wants to stay far away from them and not let them touch her.
After a while, Li Tingxue came to her senses and hurriedly instructed her maid Baihe: "Baihe, go to Songhe Courtyard quickly and tell the wet nurse to bring Xiao Le'an back."
"Just tell them that I'm going to breastfeed the baby myself." Lily responded and hurriedly left.
A moment later, Baihe slowly walked in with the wet nurse carrying Le'an. Sure enough, Jiang Mianmian followed closely behind them, her face puffed up with anger, as if she could breathe fire.
When their eyes met, they first glanced at each other without prior arrangement, and then simultaneously let out a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, Jiang Mianmian's face was full of disdain and dissatisfaction with the two people in front of her, but surprisingly, Li Tingxue, who was always proud and arrogant, not only did not get angry, but also revealed a hint of surprise that was hard to hide.
Since her mother-in-law loved her daughter so much, her worries vanished instantly.
She quickly hugged her daughter and chuckled; she had grasped at a lifeline! So, she kept flashing a bright and ingratiating smile at Jiang Mianmian.
Shen Xiuyan, standing to the side, was extremely attentive, bustling around and serving Jiang Mianmian tea and water, and gently massaging her back. He was even more devoted to her than if he were serving his own father.
Faced with the two men's sudden fawning, Jiang Mianmian was completely baffled. She also felt that something was off about them, and couldn't help but mutter to herself:
What's wrong with these two? Did they both take the wrong medication today?
One of them kept grinning foolishly at me, while the other was being incredibly attentive. Judging by this, they probably both have some serious, incurable illness, right?
[But instead of calling a doctor when they're sick, they're fawning over me. What are they up to? Hasn't this terrible thing happened? Haven't they learned their lesson at all?]
…………
Shen Xiuyan and Li Tingxue: No, not at all! Mother, we're not seriously ill, we just feel like we've learned our lesson, that's why we always want to stay by your side.
After all, everyone was under the same roof and breathing the same air, so the couple felt perfectly safe.
If Li Tingxue weren't afraid of upsetting her mother-in-law, she would have moved directly to her mother-in-law's Songhe Courtyard right now, so she could be with her mother-in-law all the time and show her determination.
Jiang Mianmian frowned. Xiao Le'an was still a baby. Even if there was a wet nurse at home, he still had to stay with his own mother.
That's why Jiang Mianmian agreed to let Baihe bring Xiao Le'an back. There was nothing she could do; she could only watch helplessly as Baihe took Xiao Le'an away.
If she hadn't been so worried about what had just happened, she wouldn't have come back with Xiao Le'an!
She'd been in the room for a while now and hadn't noticed anything different. She was about to head back, but couldn't help making a couple of comments:
Oh my gosh... my little darling!
[Li Tingxue, weren't you only interested in your adopted daughter? Why are you now after my little Le'an?]
Li Tingxue: "…………"
Um, no, what adopted daughter? Mother-in-law, I...where would I get an adopted daughter?
Li Tingxue felt like she couldn't understand what her mother-in-law was saying, and wondered if there were things she didn't know.
Later, after her mother-in-law leaves, she wants to ask Shen Xiuyan alone what exactly happened.
At this moment, the hand that was massaging Jiang Mianmian's shoulders suddenly froze. He touched his nose, glanced guiltily at Li Tingxue, and then silently lowered his head.
After seeing Jiang Mianmian leave, Shen Xiuyan told Li Tingxue everything.
Li Tingxue was shocked to discover that not only had her body been possessed by Han Lanjiao, but she had also almost switched her own biological daughter's body a few days ago!
This truth made her realize why her mother-in-law had been so unfriendly to the two of them all this time.
If I were in the mother-in-law's position, possessing such amazing abilities yet encountering such a distressing situation, I would probably also feel disgusted with the two of them!
Suddenly, as if remembering something important, Li Tingxue quickly asked, "By the way, about the watch... oh no, I should say Liu Jiaying, how did you know about that?"
Li Tingxue immediately thought of this matter. It's no wonder she was overthinking it; everything she had experienced today was just too bizarre and strange.
Shen Xiuyan sighed helplessly and slowly explained, "Alas! Actually, I know about this thanks to hearing my mother's thoughts from her. So..."
At this point, he lowered his head somewhat embarrassed.
After hearing these words, Li Tingxue understood, but she still couldn't help but glare angrily at Shen Xiuyan.
At this moment, she felt like the most foolish character in those folk tales, just as her mother-in-law said, a nobody, a minor character whose name wasn't even worth mentioning.
Furthermore, in that storybook, the husband and daughter are the main characters, while she is merely an insignificant supporting character.
