âl took a porcelain doll with me. Come to my room. We can study it together. Sikong Wuyuan, you come too,â Yuan Hehe replied immediately.
âThe old lady probably doesnât have the time to look for us. I donât know where Tang Nannan went. Perhaps Tang Xiaoxiao will come to look for us.â
His voice gradually became softer as he spoke, as if he was a little uncertain.
Jiang Ming told the two of them about the conversation just now, and Yuan Hehe complained after listening.
âl didnât expect that old woman to be so greedy. 1 really canât stand her anymore. Letâs leave tonight. I really donât want to see that old woman again.â
Sikong Wuyuan was also speechless. âIf she wants so much silver, then her daughter will probably never be able to get married. Her standards are really ridiculously high, and her requirements are also ridiculous.â
âSheâs just from a peasant family. How dare she think that someone so rich would fall for her daughter? What a joke.â Yuan Hehe thought of Tang Nannan and could not help but laugh.
âLetâs not talk about anything else. Even if the old woman didnât ask for it, she wouldnât be able to marry that daughter of hers. Her son is simply too brainless. Thatâs why.â
Jiang Ming smiled and then said, âAlright. Letâs discuss the porcelain doll first. Weâll talk about the rest later. I think weâll just watch this family make a fool of themselves.â
âAfter a few years, this family will definitely be a laughingstock. But itâs a pity. By then, we will have left long ago.â Sikong Wuyuan shrugged and quickly called Jiang Ming to join them.
Seeing that he was urging him, Jiang Ming walked quickly.
Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard the old womanâs words.
âMother, how can you say that? Itâs obvious that Jiang Ming doesnât like me. I originally thought that you werenât talking about these things, but I didnât expect it to be this. Mother, youâre simply too embarrassing!â
Her eyes were filled with regret.
If she had known earlier, she would have stayed there.
She really did not expect her mother to say such a thing.
She did not know what Jiang Ming would think. Those who did not know would think that her family was extremely short of money. She really did not want anyone to have such an impression of her family.
However, now that things had come to this, what should have happened had already happened. There was no point in continuing to dwell on it. Instead, it would only add to her worries.
Moreover, her mother was a stubborn person. If she continued to say this, her mother would be unhappy and argue with her.
She did not want her mother to get angry.
Seeing this, she could only sigh and quickly say, âMother, youâre a little too cunning. â
The old woman objected to this and quickly shook her head. âHow can this be considered cunning? Youâre already a young lady now. If I donât arrange a good marriage for you, what kind of person will you marry? A farmer?â
The old woman began to nag. Tang Xiaoxiao was already used to this, so she could only listen and agree.
On the other side, Jiang Ming, Sikong Wuyuan, and Yuan Hehe had gathered together.
Yuan Hehe reached into his pocket as if he were presenting a treasure. However, he realized that the porcelain doll had disappeared.
He could not help but be shocked. Then he kept digging into his pocket. As he dug, he said, âWhereâs my porcelain doll? Why is it gone so quickly? 1 remember putting it in my pants. Whatâs going on?â
Sikong Wuyuan was comforting Yuan Hehe. âDonât be anxious. You might have placed it somewhere else or dropped it somewhere else. If it really doesnât work, we wonât study it. Donât be anxious.â
He had a feeling that Yuan Hehe had left it somewhere else and forgotten to take it. That thing might pop out later.
However, Jiang Ming had another idea.
âIs there a possibility that this porcelain doll ran out on its own?â
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe were about to continue asking. They felt that such a statement was a little crazy.
This porcelain doll was not alive. How could it have run out?
How could the porcelain doll be alive?
At the thought of this, they shook their heads.
The ceiling suddenly shook. Jiang Ming and the other two looked at each other and knew that someone was up there. They could not help but keep quiet.
After a while, Sikong Wuyuan felt that the person above had not left yet, so he simply chatted casually with Jiang Ming and Yuan Hehe. He planned to wait until the person above had left before talking about the porcelain doll.
However, after chatting for a long time, they realized that the person did not seem to want to leave. It seemed that they had plans to stay up there forever.
Sikong Wuyuan gave Yuan Hehe a look. âLeave your clone here. Go out and take a look.â
Yuan Hehe nodded and left.
On the roof was Tang Xiaoxiao.
She had finally gotten rid of the old woman. The first thing she did now was to look for these three people.
She did not believe that she could not find out the secrets of these three people.
If it was not for Jiang Ming, would she have been nagged by her mother for so long?
After all, this was caused by Jiang Ming. She had to turn the tables.
She felt that these three people would definitely run away tonight. She would not let them succeed. She still had to play with them.
She thought about this, but she did not know that Yuan Hehe had already sneaked up to the roof. Naturally, she did not expect her brother to be on his way there with his men.
Jiang Ming had a premonition that Tang Nannan was coming. He quickly said to Sikong Wuyuan, âLetâs not make a sound for now. Tang Nannan is probably waiting nearby. 1 think the person on the roof might be Tang Xiaoxiao. I didnât expect these two siblings to actually work together. We mustnât let them hear anything. Letâs just stay here.â
Upon hearing this, Sikong Wuyuan immediately understood. He said in his heart, âl really didnât expect these people to be so persistent. Itâs not even late at night, and theyâre already here to cause trouble. Iâm afraid theyâll disturb us.â
âWeâll deal with whatever comes our way. Donât be rash. If you panic, theyâll see through your flaws.â
Jiang Ming sat quietly and did not move at all. Even when they spoke, they only spoke in their hearts. They did not make a sound.
Jiang Ming felt that it was time, so he pulled out the silver needles Tang Xiaoxiao had placed on his body with his bare hands..
