Chapter 85: Hungry, My Stomach Is Protesting
"Wait, you hold it first, I'll get something first." Hong Xuemei started playing with something in her palm.
The hot teacup, plus her hands that had been burned by the cup, Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, she was really worried that she would accidentally let go of her hands and give people a chance to find fault with her.
Hands shaking...
The teacup lid also made a rubbing sound.
After a long while...
Hong Xuemei raised her head: "Thank you for your hard work." She stood up and took the teacup. But when she took the teacup again.
'Splash...' All the water in the teacup poured out instantly, pouring on Xiaoxiao's fingers again. Xiaoxiao quickly retracted her hand.
"Hey, I didn't move just now, you just shook it." Hong Xuemei said innocently.
Frowning, Xiaoxiao gently clenched her fists. She exhaled heavily, people were sincere about her, and she couldn't escape.
"Madam Hong... do you want more tea?" Her phoenix eyes sharpened, but when she looked at Hong Xuemei, she still restrained the hostility in her eyebrows.
Hong Xuemei slammed her hands: "Forget it... I broke two cups I loved, how can I still be in the mood to drink. Hey, these cups are all priceless. Hey." She sighed.
It seemed as if she had said this specifically for Xiaoxiao. Ha... Her hands were no match for two cups. At this moment, she felt nothing but heartbreak.
All day long. She was ordered to do this and that. Of course, she was still keeping an eye on the future identity of the young lady, and the servants would not dare to do anything to her, so all day long, Hong Xuemei stared at her. In fact, it was not painful to do something, but she had to be busy again before her hands recovered. Several times she thought that her hands would be useless? !
At lunch, because she did not finish her work, Hong Xuemei did not let her eat. In the evening, she was asked to do something else, but still had nothing to eat.
It was not until eleven or twelve o'clock that Maomao and Xuanyuan brothers and sisters came back. When they came back, it was time to prepare for bed.
Her hands were no longer red, but there were spots of blisters on her hands, which were caused by scalding. She accidentally broke several of them while doing things.
"Xuanyuan Lie, my son just came here and is not used to it. He can't sleep without me. I'll go to his room to sleep tonight." Xiaoxiao said lightly. A busy day left her with no other strength.
His black eyes looked at her and finally fell on her hands. Her hands were particularly conspicuous at this moment.
He didn't speak.
"Since you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent." Turning around, she walked out of the room and called the maid to take her to Maomao's room.
And Mu Maomao was too tired, so he went to play and came back and hid in the room to take a bath. When she came in, he was already lying on the bed and about to fall asleep.
"Mommy..." called vaguely. Rubbed his eyes with his hands.
"You go to sleep, I won't disturb you." Xiaoxiao walked to the bed.
Maomao squinted his eyes and nodded. When he was about to go back to sleep, his eyes fell on Xiaoxiao's conspicuous hands. He widened his eyes and turned over and sat up.
"Mommy, your hand..."
The person she least wanted him to worry about was her son, so she quickly retracted her hands and put them behind her back: "Go to sleep."
"Mommy, what's wrong with your hands?" Maomao became stubborn and pulled Xiaoxiao's hand. When she saw the red and swollen hands, she burst into tears: "Mommy, what's wrong? Who did it?" The blisters on her hands were like a needle piercing his heart.
"I was accidentally scalded by hot water. It's okay. It will be fine in two days."
"But...but..." Maomao sobbed and gently raised her hand. She didn't dare to hold it, for fear of hurting her. Maomao was not stupid. How could Mommy be so careless and get scalded like this? There must be something wrong: "Mommy, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone out to play with them. I didn't protect you well."
"Silly child, do I still need your protection?"
"Mommy, wait for me." Maomao jumped off the bed and ran out. After a while, she ran back with a bottle of medicine in her hand.
"Where did you get it?"
"I asked the fake aunt for it." He shrank his head.
"Haven't I taught you that you should be grateful to someone who has done something for you?" Xiaoxiao frowned, not to mention that the other party was Xuanyuan Xiaoya.
"Even if I am grateful to someone, I owe it to my aunt. Mommy, let me apply the medicine for you." He gently grabbed Xiaoxiao's hand with his little hand, exhaled carefully, and applied the medicine for her.
Xiaoxiao was about to cry... but she still held back. If she didn't stand up, who would be brave for her son? She was already a mother, and she couldn't cry so easily in front of her child.
Think about it, in this wealthy mansion, only her son would feel sorry for her. Having such a child, her heart is already full of comfort.
That night, she slept very soundly with the cat in her arms. Compared with the restlessness last night, she slept very soundly.
The next day...
Xuanyuan Xiaoya came to knock on the door early in the morning. Grabbed the cat and said she would take him to a more fun place.
Maomao shook his head: "Aunt, I don't want to go today."
"Why? Didn't we have a lot of fun yesterday? Your dad D will go too."
"No, you guys go play, I want to be with Mommy today." Maomao grabbed Xiaoxiao's hand, he couldn't leave Mommy here alone.
"Let's go... I lent you medicine yesterday, let's go... please... Maomao..." Xuanyuan Xiaoya twisted.
As expected, when it comes to medicine, Maomao's face wrinkled and she lowered her head. What should she do? Should she leave her mommy alone? No, absolutely not!
"Maomao, your aunt has spoken, so you can go play with her." Xiaoxiao also saw her son's embarrassment.
"But..."
"Go."
In the end, Xuanyuan Xiaoya still took Maomao away. Just like yesterday, she also took Xuanyuan Lie away. After she washed up, she prepared to go downstairs and wait for breakfast.
After breakfast yesterday, she didn't have lunch and dinner. She could bear to skip a few meals. But her stomach had been growling for a long time.
As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Hong Xuemei sitting downstairs.
Seeing Xiaoxiao coming downstairs, Hong Xuemei was surprised: "Why are you here? Didn't you go out with Xiaoya and the others?"
"No."
"Oh... I thought you went out with them. I just asked someone to throw away all the breakfast. Forget it, it will be noon in a while. Let's eat at noon. I still have something for you to do." Hong Xuemei waved to her.
This is just like summoning a spirit! Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and had to face what she had to face. She had to bear the protest of her stomach and get busy.
Hong Xuemei would say to everything she asked her to do, "This is designed to test the future daughter-in-law. It is a must-go. Just bear with it. '
These words sounded fake, but they were sincere, and they were elders, so she had no room to refuse.
Hong Xuemei didn't do anything else, just watched over Xiaoxiao, and if she did something wrong, she would step forward to remind her. In this way, it was almost noon.
