Chapter 11748

Everyone else present, except for Liu herself, noticed that Cao Bamei was acting strangely.

"The men in this world are truly all kinds of wicked, and I recently heard..."

"Fourth Aunt, you must be tired. Go get some water."

"Qing'er, I'm not tired. How could talking be tiring?"

"Fourth Aunt, I'm a little thirsty. I'd like to have some water."

"Really? Well then, Jin Chuan, pour your sister Qing'er a bowl of tea..."

Liu Jinchuan stood to the side with Liangliang in her hand. Hearing this, she didn't know whether she should pour the water or not.

Because everyone could see that Yang Ruoqing didn't really want to drink tea, but rather wanted to find an excuse to get Liu Shi away.

"Mother, my, my legs are numb..." Liu Jinchuan said apologetically, her mind suddenly clear.

Liu glared at Liu Jinchuan, "Your legs go numb just from asking me to pour you some tea? You're so young, yet your legs aren't as nimble as mine. What kind of talk is that?"

She muttered curses under her breath, but she still stood up and prepared to go to the main room to pour tea for Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing stood up and said, "Fourth Aunt, I'll go with you."

As she passed by Liu Jinchuan, she gave Liu Jinchuan a look. Liu Jinchuan understood Yang Ruoqing's look and smiled a little shyly.

Yang Ruoqing followed Liu Shi to the main room. Liu Shi picked up the teapot to make tea for Yang Ruoqing, while muttering to herself about how Liu Jinchuan's legs were weak and how they had become numb at such a young age. She worried that in a few years, he might suffer a stroke and become paralyzed, lying in bed. Wouldn't that just be a burden on my Kang boy?

"Fourth Aunt, just say less. Jin Chuan's leg isn't numb. We just wanted to get you out of that room on purpose." Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else around, Yang Ruoqing decided to speak frankly with Liu Shi.

"Why? Why did you send me away?" Liu was completely confused and felt utterly innocent.

I didn't do anything wrong, so why was I sent away and isolated by a room full of people?
"Oh, you, you're so straightforward! You never think before you speak, and you don't even realize you've offended people!" Yang Ruoqing sighed and recounted the whole story to Liu Shi.

After hearing this, Liu was completely stunned.

Suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped herself hard twice in the mouth.

"I told you not to talk so fast, now I've smashed it!"

Liu didn't hold back with those two blows; after two loud slaps, her lips were noticeably red and swollen, as if she had eaten very, very spicy chili peppers.

Liu was so remorseful and self-reproachful that she kept slapping herself in the face.

Yang Ruoqing held her hand: "That's enough, Fourth Aunt. Just be more careful next time. Everyone knows about Second Sister-in-law's situation. In the future, try not to talk about that kind of thing in front of her or the other members of the Second Branch, so as not to offend her."

Liu nodded. "I really know I was wrong. I just blurted it out today. I was actually talking about other people's business, gossip I heard from somewhere else. I really didn't mean to make a veiled attack on Xiuxiu and Li Wei!"

"Alright, alright, we all understand, but some words can hurt people unintentionally... Okay, let's not go on with this roundabout talk. Let's bring them some tea and change the subject, that's all."

"Okay, I'll pour the tea, and I'll get you some snacks too."

Liu immediately got to work, and Yang Ruoqing came over to help her.
