The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 34

"What's going on? What is happening?"

Although Huo ShaoJie was upstairs, he could hear everything clearly. He didn't expect his older brother to criticize his younger sister so harshly either.

Huo Mei Shu had always respected her older brother the most and cared about him the most. However, Rong Dai's previous behavior was indeed somewhat hard to understand.

"Mei Shu, speak nicely. Don't be so disrespectful."

Huo ShaoJie was not really trying to blame Huo Mei Shu. It was just that his older brother's face was already unbearably cold.

If Huo Mei Shu kept talking, her older brother would truly turn against her.

"How am I not speaking properly? Rong Dai is the one who should learn to speak properly and behave well!"

Huo Mei Shu's voice was sharp and angry. She raised her hand and pointed at Rong Dai, her eyes red with grievance.

Having said that, she turned her head and ran upstairs with her face covered.

"Big brother, although little sister's words were... not very pleasant to hear," Huo ShaoJie's face was also a bit cold. His gaze subconsciously glanced at Rong Dai, "You shouldn't have spoken to little sister like that either. In this family, she respects you the most."

After saying that, he also ignored Rong Dai and went upstairs.

Hearing the loud slamming of a door upstairs, Rong Dai's heart shuddered! What had she just experienced?!

She had only made a bowl of noodles, yet it triggered this terrible incident!

She had offended both the little sister-in-law and little uncle!

And what was going on with Huo ShaoTing tonight?

Why did he say those things? Wasn't he deliberately provoking Huo Mei Shu?

"ShaoTing, let me go with you to the hospital first. I'll come back and properly explain things to Mei Shu. What do you think?"

She couldn't afford to offend either of them, so she could only play both sides to save herself.

However, she didn't get a response from Huo ShaoTing after saying that. When she turned her head, she saw that he continued eating noodles as if nothing had happened.

Rong Dai was baffled. Huo Mei Shu had even cried, yet how could he still eat?

Wasn't he not supposed to eat wheat foods?

"ShaoTing, this noodle..."

"I just can't eat mechanically made noodles. Handmade noodles are fine." Huo ShaoTing's voice was indifferent.

He actually really liked eating noodles, but he got stomachaches every time he ate mechanically made noodles. However, he was fine with completely handmade noodles, which was rather strange.

Rong Dai: "..."

Were there really people this odd in the world?

"Then I'll go upstairs and see Mei Shu. She... I'm really alright with what you said earlier. Although I'm very happy you stood up for me, it hurt Mei Shu."

Rong Dai felt relieved. She had offended two people all at once. When mother-in-law came back later, she probably wouldn't get away with it either.

If she didn't appease Huo ShaoTing and stabilize the situation, she would really be close to leaving this place for good.

"If you go up now, she will only get angry at you. Don't worry about this matter."

Huo ShaoTing had even finished drinking all the broth, and didn't leave a single vegetable behind.

"But..."

"Don't you want to read the script anymore? Or you don't want to take the role anymore?"

Rong Dai wanted to explain, but Huo ShaoTing had already gotten up, taken the dishes to the kitchen, and left her with nothing but a cold back.

Soon, the sound of dish washing came from the kitchen. Rong Dai's mind was filled with thousands of thoughts and countless doubts.

She didn't understand tonight's Huo ShaoTing, but she also didn't know how to comfort Huo Mei Shu or figure out a good solution for this matter.

The original owner's previous actions had already taken deep root. Although she really didn't know how excessive the original owner's actions were before.

But no matter what, Huo Mei Shu was a well-mannered young lady of a prestigious family. The Huo family surely wouldn't be stingy in cultivating their family members.

Huo Mei Shu only felt disgust towards her when seeing her.

It was imaginable how detestable the original owner must have been. Although she was not the original owner, she had to shoulder this burden. Thinking about this made her feel wronged.

Rong Dai felt very bothered. She had barely overcome one obstacle before facing the next. She just wanted to properly live this life, so why was it so difficult?

"Mistress, what's going on here? Who's in the kitchen?"

Mrs. Wang came back at this time and saw her standing in a daze in the dining room looking quite unwell, so she asked.

Rong Dai snapped back to reality. She gazed blankly at Mrs. Wang, and suddenly had an idea.

The person who tied the bell was the one to untie it. All of this only happened after the original owner married into the family. Now she was the master of this body.

In order to survive, there were some things she still needed to understand clearly.

"Mrs. Wang, are you free now?"

Mrs. Wang nodded. She had wanted to go to the kitchen to take a look, but was pulled by Rong Dai to sit under the flower arbor in the garden.

"Mrs. Wang, can I ask you some questions?" She hesitated for a moment before deciding to speak up.

She wanted to confirm exactly what inhuman things the original owner had done to make the Huo family detest her so much.

Huo Mei Shu's attitude tonight shocked her tremendously. Although she didn't want trouble, she would still spend a year at the Huo residence.

If this issue wasn't resolved, not to mention a year, she probably wouldn't even last half a year!

Mrs. Wang looked at her and suddenly became a little nervous. "Mistress, please ask."

Huo ShaoTing didn't see Rong Dai after coming out of the kitchen, thinking she had gone upstairs. He went to the bedroom to take a look but didn't see her shadow either, so his eyebrows immediately knitted together. He went back downstairs to look for her, and upon hearing people talking in the garden, he walked over.

"So...is my relationship with ShaoTing really not good?"

Rong Dai asked with difficulty. After hearing Huo Mei Shu's accusations, she knew these things were almost certainly true.

But she didn't expect the original owner to be so vicious!

She sold the gifts from the little sister-in-law, little uncle, grandmother, and mother-in-law!

And she even rented a house outside, which was why the Huo family didn't know when the original owner went to the hospital.

Rong Dai felt a chill down her spine. She was also a little confused about what exactly the original owner wanted to do.

Mrs. Wang looked at her in bewilderment: "Mistress, don't you know these things best?"

The mistress did all these things herself, so why was she asking her instead?

Rong Dai had long prepared her excuse and immediately gave a wry smile to explain: "I just want to know if I'm really that horrible. Isn't this self-reflection? So I want to ask Mrs. Wang, it seems I was indeed wrong and went overboard before."

The rotten mess the original owner left her was really too great!

She didn't even know who else the original owner had contact with outside of the Huo family!

Thinking of these things, Rong Dai felt a chill run through her hands and feet.

Huo ShaoTing stood in the dark corner and could hear Rong Dai and Mrs. Wang's conversation very clearly.

What was going on with this woman?

She did these things herself, so how could she ask Mrs. Wang instead?
