Havenât they said that they would handle it properly? If so, then how come Ning Meng Yao knows about it?
No, she must be tricking me just to give me a scare.
âI donât understand what youâre talking about.â Yang Xiu Er gritted her teeth while glaring at Ning Meng Yao.
Ning Meng Yao smiled at Yang Xiu Er: âOh, you know very well what Iâm talking about. That rich personâs servant must be really stylish, isnât she? Are you thinking of living such a life as well?â Ning Meng Yao suddenly took a few steps closer towards Yang Xiu Er and whispered into her ear.
Yang Xiu Er slightly stiffened, her eyes flustered: âI have no idea what youâre talking about.â
âYou really donât? Well, it doesnât matter if you donât understand me now. Youâll understand soon enough.â Ning Meng Yao smiled nonchalantly.
Yang Xiu Er vigilantly watched Ning Meng Yao. After a while, with some doubts, she asked: âWhat are you planning?â
âWhat am I planning? Yang Xiu Er, I intending to let you off, but you always make trouble for me. If this is the case, then donât blame me for being unkind.â Ning Meng Yaoâs lips curled slightly upwards while she was looked at Yang Xiu Er as if she was seeing a corpse.
Yang Xiu Erâs body stiffened even more: âYou dare? They wonât let you do as you please!â
Seeing Yang Xiu Erâs fearful expression, Ning Meng Yao couldnât help but laugh scornfully: âYouâre telling me that theyâll help you? Are you kidding me?â
What could cause a selfish person like Xiao Zi Xuan to help such a lowly peasant? It was already good enough that she didnât push responsibility for this matter onto Yang Xiu Er.
Under Ning Meng Yaoâs mocking gaze, Yang Xiu Er really couldnât keep going anymore so she hurriedly left. She was going to tell those people that Ning Meng Yao knew about the truth.
Looking at Yang Xiu Erâs back, Ning Meng Yao smiled mockingly.
After Yang Xiu Er returned home, she was constantly feeling uneasy and was even extremely worried about it.
If this continued, she certainly would be caught. At that time, her family would also be driven out of White Mountain Village.
The more she thought about it, the more afraid she was. The very next morning she quickly went to the town.
When Ning Meng Yao got the news, she sighed.
Yang Xiu Er came to the place where she met the servant before: âGrandmother, things are bad.â
âWhat are you so worried about? Calm down and tell me slowly.â The servant was very unhappy. Watching Yang Xiu Erâs panicked expression, she was even feeling a little angry.
Yang Xiu Er felt somewhat afraid of the servant, but still she spoke in worry: âNing Meng Yao knows that the incident has something to do with me.â
The servant looked at Yang Xiu Er and said helplessly: âWhat does this have to do with me?â
Yang Xiu Er was dumbfounded. She couldnât believe what the person in front of her said: âIsnât this something that you ordered me to do? Now that something went wrong on your part, you arenât even going to admit it?â
The servant looked at Yang Xiu Er with a sneer, then she said sarcastically: âYouâre saying that we ordered you do it? But you have accepted the money, right? Besides, do you have any evidence that we did it? In fact, we can even sue you for stealing our money.â
Yang Xiu Er couldnât believe her ears. How can this be? This wasnât going as she planned. Why did things become like this?
âNo... You canât do this. You canât do this to me!â Yang Xiu Er panicked.
She thought of what Ning Meng Yao said. Ning Meng Yao hadnât even really considered this matter yet. If she actually started to investigate, Yang Xiu Er would be finished for sure. She couldnât let this happen.
The servant looked at Yang Xiu Erâs flustered face and she mocked her: âWhat canât we do? Why do I not understand a single word youâre saying, missy?â
Her attitude made Yang Xiu Er really scared: âYouâre not afraid that Iâll testify against you?â
âTestify? What evidence do you have? If you canât provide any evidence, we can easily sue you for theft. Do you know what the consequences of that are?â Not only was she not afraid, she was also openly mocking Yang Xiu Er.
