Chapter 133

It was because Nell had been busy for such a long time. She finally managed to finish everything in the past two days, and the strings that had been pulled taut finally loosened.

It just so happened to snow yesterday. After dinner, Nell pulled Gideon to the courtyard for a walk and bask in the cool breeze for a while, but she did not expect to fall sick.

She knew that she was at fault and did not dare to speak again.

She obediently took the medicine that the doctor prepared.

Gideon saw her usually vivid face now weak and weary through illness and did not say much because he knew that she was unwell.

He let her rest well at home and told Aunt Joyce and the others to take care of her before leaving.

Nell was dizzy and laid down for a long time. It was noon when her condition finally improved and she heard loud noises from downstairs.

Nell was a little surprised.

Leith Gardens was Gideon’s private residence in Jincheng. There were rarely any outsiders in the house except for the servants.

Besides, the servants knew that she liked the quiet and would not make such loud noises.

Who was there?

She was about to get up when she saw Aunt Joyce running over in a flurry.

“Missus, it’s not good.”

Nell frowned. “What happened? Why is it so noisy downstairs?”

Aunt Joyce looked extremely awkward. “Aunt Jean has come over.”

Nell paused.

She knew that Gideon had an aunt called Jean Leith.

It was said that back then, after Gideon’s parents died unexpectedly, it was this aunt who raised him.

It was reasonable to say that they would have a close relationship, but for some reason, even though Nell had been together with him for so long, she never heard Gideon mention his aunt.

Nell had only accidentally learned about the existence of that person from somewhere else.

As she changed her clothes, she asked, “What’s wrong with her coming over? You look as if you’re about to face a great enemy.”

Aunt Joyce was indeed nervous.

“You might not know, but she’s not a very accommodating person. Every time she comes over, she always picks out mistakes. Everyone is mindful of her because of her kindness to Mr. Leith, so we don’t dare say anything. We don’t dare take her lightly either.”

Nell nodded in understanding and said nothing more.

After changing, she was just about to go downstairs when she heard a woman’s loud yelling from below.

“How do you lot even handle things? Is this the kind of tea you usually serve the Young Master? Did the Young Master treat you all too well normally and cause you to forget the rules?”

Nell frowned and walked down.

In the living room, a middle-aged woman dressed in white was reprimanding a few servants.

On the floor in front of her was a broken celadon teapot. Tea and tea leaves were scattered all over the floor.

The servants kept their heads down, not daring to speak. Standing a few steps away from the door was another person.

Nell raised her eyebrows, extremely surprised.

“What happened?”

She walked down slowly. When the servants heard her voice, they immediately perked up as if they saw their savior.

The woman standing in the living room naturally noticed her presence as well.

She frowned and asked unhappily. “Who are you?”

Aunt Joyce quickly came forward to explain. “Aunt Jean, this is the Young Missus.”

Jean became even more unhappy after hearing this. Her brows furrowed and she sized Nell up with a vigilant and wary gaze.

Nell smiled and generously extended her hand.

“Hello, my name is Nell Jennings. If you don’t mind, you can just call me Nelly.”

Unexpectedly, the other party merely scoffed.

“So you’re the little b*tch that Gideon is raising in Jincheng. I thought you were some great commodity, but it turns out you’re nothing much after all!

Tsk tsk, look at what you’re wearing. Did you pick it up from the streets? Even beggars by the roadside are better dressed than you!”

Nell was used to wearing casual clothes at home, so she had grabbed a random piece of clothing to change into when she heard that someone had come over.

They were not bad clothes. Gideon had been unwilling to compromise on this front. The cloakroom at home was almost as large as three normal rooms, but she was used to wearing comfortable clothes at home.

The bedroom was prepared in her preference. The light casual clothes were not necessarily cheap, costing a few hundred yuan a set, but they were made with comfortable fabric and were simple in style, so she liked them very much.

However, in Jean’s eyes, it was something that not even beggars could compare to.

Nell smiled but did not want to explain anything. After all, the other part was Gideon’s elder. As his wife, she was reluctant to cause friction with Jean.

Jean saw her fall silent and thought that she was afraid, and sneered again.

“I heard that you’ve been together with Gideon for some time now? It must have been hard for you. It must have taken a lot of effort for a small family to climb up to Gideon! However, some things are just outside the grasp of people like you. Don’t you agree, Stephanie?”

Jean turned to Stephanie Garrett who was standing not far away.

Stephanie held her handbag and walked up with a gentle smile. “Aunt Jean, you’re joking again.”

Her voice was very pleasing to hear, and her entire appearance was gentle and quiet. The warm and polite smile on her face also made people have a good impression of her.

Especially when standing beside the arrogant Jean, her outstanding temperament and gentleness were accentuated instead.

Everyone knew who she was referring to.

Some servants could not help but feel indignant. After all, Nell and Gideon were lawfully wedded. They had always been very good to the household servants and never treated them harshly. If anything happened, she would even try to help them. Everyone approved of Nell.

Despite that, she was suddenly being pointed at and scolded. Anyone would feel uncomfortable about this.

However, Nell simply smiled as if she did not hear and told the servants to sweep the mess on the ground and brew a pot of fresh tea.

“I wasn’t aware that Aunt Jean and Ms. Garrett would be coming over today, so please pardon me for the delay! Gideon doesn’t like to drink tea at home, so the tea you just drank is what I usually use to pass the time. This pot is brewed from high-quality Pu-erh tea. Please have a try.”

She then personally poured a cup for each of them.

Jean badmouthed her for half a day but Nell did not react at all. It was like her fist was punching on soft cotton.

With a cold snort, she lifted the cup and took a sip.

The next second, a scream sounded and the teacup in her hands flew towards Nell with a “whoosh’.

“You horrid b*tch! Are you trying to scald me by giving me something so hot to drink?”
