"I wonder if I can come and sit with my sister-in-law more often in the future?"

Xu Ruoshui naturally welcomed her. How could he know her true purpose without much contact, "I'm bored by myself. I have nowhere to go except to my wife. I wish my cousin could come and sit more often. It's just your residence."

Will my parents worry about it? After all, the second younger brother and sister have kept my cousin for such a long time."

The two elders of the Wang family have always been amiable people in Xu Ruoshui's life, especially her aunt Liu Qiao, who treated her like her own mother. She was fed and clothed with the best quality and told Wang Mengjiao to take good care of herself. The two sisters ate together.

Living together, even when Xu Ruoshui got married, she invited Wang Mengjiao into the house to accompany her; but her cousin, who was so far apart from each other and regarded as a relative, turned out to be such a person with ulterior motives.

"Hey..." Wang Mengjiao lamented, "My parents heard that my cousin was gone, so they couldn't afford it."

"Oh?" Xu Ruoshui didn't believe it. Liu Qiao was now eager to hold the memorial tablets of his parents. "Then my cousin should go back to wait on me. I heard that you are the only daughter of your parents."

"Well..." Wang Mengjiao realized that she had said something wrong, but she quickly justified herself, "I originally wanted to go back, but the two elders said they wanted to go back to the countryside to recuperate, and they were worried that I would be alone at home, so I asked my cousin to take care of me.

Let me wait, and now I have a chance to talk to my sister-in-law."

Countryside? Xu Ruoshui snorted softly. It sounded like his nose was uncomfortable, but in fact it was contempt for Wang Mengjiao. The Wang family used to live in the countryside, but after Xu Ruoshui's parents died, they sold their house in the countryside.

Now, he has officially taken over the Xu family. He has been here for more than ten years. There is nowhere to stay in the countryside.

At this time, Mrs. Hu brought over a purple tray with two small plates of pastries on it, which were soft and glutinous chestnut cakes and walnut cakes. "Madam, this walnut cake was given by Mrs. Gangmeng to Miss Baozhu, saying it was for you to try."

Try something new.”

Mrs. Hu had her own motives for doing this. Although the lonely late autumn attracted Mrs. Meng's attention, not many people in the house knew about it, so she took it upon herself to add walnut cakes, and also wanted people to know where this eldest mistress was.

The status is different from the past.

Wang Mengjiao's eyes lit up. This trip really came at a good time, "It is said that Mrs. Meng prefers the elder sister-in-law, and it seems that it is true."

"My cousin, let's try it too..." Xu Ruoshui made a gesture of invitation.

Wang Mengjiao picked up a piece of walnut pastry with her orchid fingers and leaned it against her mouth symbolically, "It's really sweet." She couldn't tell whether it was fragrant or sweet, but she just responded casually. There was something else she wanted to say in her heart.

Seeing her hesitation, Xu Ruoshui chuckled and said, "My cousin has already said that she is one of our own. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Wang Mengjiao's expression was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this woman who was born as a maid could be so insightful into people's hearts. "When I came here, I was thinking whether my sister-in-law and I wouldn't get along. I didn't expect that we could sit together and enjoy tea together like sisters. I hope so."

Sister-in-law, please say some kind words in front of my wife. If there is a chance, maybe we can get closer."

The implication was that she wanted Wan Qiu, now Xu Ruoshui, to help her make peace in front of Mrs. Meng.

Xu Ruoshui pretended to be stupid, "My cousin, we are all relatives. You and I are like sisters now. We are even closer. Madam, why do you need kind words? Every time I mention you, I am full of praise."
