Quick Transmigration: The host is super good!

Li Nanyue finally got what she wanted and ate the shredded chicken porridge she had been craving for. However, she had something on her mind, so she only ate half a bowl and couldn't swallow any more.

Chen Yuan, on the other hand, had a good appetite and drank two bowls in a row. It was worthy of being the Prime Minister's Mansion. The chefs' cooking skills were superb. He had traveled all over the country in his previous two lives and had eaten no less delicious food.

Li Nanyan was already worried about what would happen next, and seeing her eating happily, she felt even more upset: My friend doesn’t seem to love me anymore…

╥﹏╥...

"What's wrong?" It was hard not to attract Shen Yuan's attention with such resentful eyes. She raised her head and glanced at the half-empty bowl of the girl, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you keep asking for chicken porridge? Why aren't you eating?"

"I have no appetite." Li Nanyue pushed the bowl away angrily and glared at her hatefully, leaving her confused.

Is he acting coquettishly towards her?

"You must have eaten too much last night and haven't digested it yet." Shen Yuan thought for a moment and comforted him, "You'll be hungry later and you'll have an appetite."

"..."

What kind of devil's speech is this?

Li Nanyue was stunned. Could it be that Xia Zhu had learned some magic and lost his brain?

Li Nanyue was in a daze and went to the main courtyard with a group of maids and old women.

The maid guarding the door saw her coming and hurried in to report. The room, which had just been filled with laughter, suddenly became quiet. It was obvious that everyone disliked her.

Li Nanyue's wandering soul returned to its place instantly. She felt a pang in her heart and her eyes turned slightly red. But then she thought, those things were done under her guise. She felt wronged. Wouldn't it be even more wronged that everyone else was innocently messed up?

The bitterness faded a lot, she sniffed, lowered her brows and walked in, bowed and said: "Daughter greets mother."

Zhang, who was sitting at the top, had a look of surprise on her face and looked at her stepdaughter with scrutiny.

It has been difficult to be a stepmother since ancient times. If it is a mild mistake, you are afraid of being criticized by others. If it is a serious mistake, people will say something vicious about you behind your back. When she first married into the Li family, she was still a little girl. She felt a little overwhelmed when dealing with a child who couldn't even speak.

Fortunately, her mother-in-law was understanding and quickly took the child to her side to educate him. Although she was a little sad that her mother-in-law did not trust her, she was more relieved.

It was not until ten years later, when her mother-in-law passed away, that the child returned to her. It was obvious that she was very unfamiliar with her stepmother, but she was brought up very well by her mother-in-law, and she was well-mannered and behaved gracefully.

Zhang originally thought that the two of them would just live their lives in harmony, and she would find a good marriage for her, and they would get along as ordinary relatives in the future, thus fulfilling their shallow mother-daughter relationship.

Who would have thought that after falling into the water, the stepdaughter seemed like a different person. Not only did she behave inappropriately, but her every move also lost the demeanor of a lady. She also seemed to blame herself, as if the fall into the water was her fault.

What a huge injustice!

After all, it was such a serious matter that the eldest daughter almost died. Zhang sent people to investigate afterwards, worried that it might be some secret affair in the rear quarters.

But after some investigation, it turned out that this was purely an accident. My father-in-law's birthday was approaching, and the housekeeper summoned most of the servants in the mansion to go out on that day, leaving only some important places to guard.

One of the maids who followed the eldest girl at the time was called away to help, and the other happened to have diarrhea. All of this was true and no one had any influence.

She fell into the water because she was distracted by the scenery and accidentally walked too close to the lake. She stepped on a mossy stone and slipped in.

I don't know whether she was hostile to her stepmother or was instigated by someone, but she ignored the evidence and kept blaming her.

Zhang explained a few things veiledly, but seeing that she was determined to have her own way, she gave up. She thought that it was a misunderstanding, as she would be married in less than two years anyway. The worst that could happen was that they would just stop having any contact in the future.

But she had not expected that her stepdaughter could be so rampant. Every word she spoke was full of thorns and contained deep meanings, which often made her feel heartbroken. She no longer had any friendly feelings towards her brothers and sisters, and instead treated them as enemies.

What's worse, it's not enough for her to cause trouble at home, she also doesn't know how to restrain herself outside. If the ladies of other families do not do what she likes, she will make them lose face.

The relationships among the various families in the capital were complicated and intertwined. Even if her husband held the high position of prime minister, he could not allow them to offend others so recklessly.

But when she stepped forward to teach her a lesson, the girl not only refused to listen, but also hated her even more.

She had some luck, but was valued by many gentlemen. Whenever she made a move, someone would jump out to protect her.

Zhang was also exhausted, so she simply gave up and kept her children at a distance, hoping to marry them off quickly so that this evil relationship could end soon.

She really didn't want to see this thoughtful stepdaughter again. In the past, when she heard her claiming to be sick and not coming to pay her respects on the first and fifteenth days of the month, she just let her do what she wanted and didn't make things more difficult for herself.

But I don't know what she was thinking today, she came again, and behaved very well, without any sign of the arrogance she had some time ago.

Zhang was feeling uneasy and lost her mind for a moment. When she came to her senses, Li Nanyue was already squatting with her legs numb and she was a little unsteady.

"Get up." She felt a little guilty, but then she thought, could this be another trap she set for herself? She couldn't help but become alert.

Li Nanyue didn't know that her stepmother had thought so much in such a short time. She felt a little aggrieved, but when she thought about the evil spirit's behavior some time ago, she felt that it was all her own fault.

He sniffed his slightly sour nose and said in a buzzing voice, "Thank you, mother."

After they sat down, no one spoke for a while and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Li Nanyue clenched her toes in her shoes as she noticed the vague gazes coming from all directions.

"I heard that you slept all afternoon yesterday. Are you not feeling well?" It was Zhang who broke the silence first, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.

In order to maintain the superficial mother-daughter relationship, she would ask about the other party's food, clothing, housing and transportation from time to time, but since that time, she has been guarding against herself like a flood or a beast, and every time she brings it up, she will be choked back, as if she has ulterior motives.

Isn't this just making things more difficult for yourself?

However, to her surprise, Li Nanyan did not look at her defensively. Instead, she lowered her eyes and nodded respectfully, saying, "My daughter is fine. Thank you for your concern, mother."

"..." Zhang was confused. Could it be that her stepdaughter was possessed by evil spirits?

No, to be honest, she looked like this before, but she looked more like she was possessed in the past few months.

This thought flashed through Zhang's mind. Although Zhang also followed the crowd in praying to gods and Buddhas, deep down in his heart he did not believe in ghosts and gods.

She was so annoyed that she simply waved her hand and told everyone to disperse.
