After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

Chapter 666: Using the Last Trump Card

Zhao Yue's face flushed red, her ears felt hot after being scolded, and her expression was embarrassed.

Old Madam Xiao didn't say anything soft and conciliatory to help her out. Zhao Yue knew that the grandparents treated Shen Lan as one of their own, but she still started to belittle Shen Lan and said some specious words to sow discord.

Since you have nothing good to say, you should be prepared to be rebuked and scolded.

After the old lady left, there were several servants in the dining room besides Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue bit her lip and looked up, looking at the eyes of the servants. She felt as if these people were laughing at her.

"What are you looking at? What's so good about it? Get out of here!"

Zhao Yue's sudden attack startled the servants. They looked dazed and did not move for a while.

"What? My words are no longer effective? Who the hell are you? How dare you look down on me? Believe it or not, I will kick you all out of the Xiao family!"

Zhao Yue's face was ferocious as she glared at several people fiercely.

Several servants adhered to the principle of less trouble being more, and left the dining room without arguing with her.

As soon as they came out, one of the younger servants lost his temper and whispered, "Why are you so arrogant? She's just the housekeeper's daughter. Why does she boss us around?"

"Just because his father is an elder of the Xiao family and has a close relationship with the young master and the old lady."

"No matter how close the relationship is, it's still useless..." At this point, the servant probably felt that this was not appropriate, so he changed the subject: "I don't see that the old lady likes her very much, and the young master doesn't like her either. She is still so shameless all day long, coveting what doesn't belong to her, and she thinks highly of herself and dares to say such things about Miss Shen."

"I think she's the one who wants to climb up the social ladder the most, and she's also the one with the biggest ambitions!"

The person traveling with him quickly turned around to take a look and gestured to the servant who was speaking, "Shh, keep your voice down. It will be terrible if she hears you."

Zhao Yue is narrow-minded, or to be more precise, she has always been a narrow-minded person.

When her father was the butler, Zhao Yue would secretly report any servants who were disrespectful to her to her father. Butler Zhao would then quietly transfer them from important positions and even try to expel them from the Xiao family.

At that time, no one dared to offend her, so Zhao Yue seemed to have a good temper and liked to pretend to be obedient and gentle in front of the old lady and the young master.

But it is human nature to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, and no matter how strict the Xiao family's management is, it cannot restrain people's hearts.

As Butler Zhao was kicked out of the Xiao family and passed away, his prestige among the Xiao family's servants declined rapidly.

This time when Zhao Yue returned to the Xiao family, she was unable to adapt to the gap and in a short period of time she had conflicts of varying sizes with many servants.

It was all private before, but now it has become public. Zhao Yue can still control her temper in front of the old lady and Xiao Yun, but she can't hold it back in front of the servants. The number of servants who have opinions about her is increasing every day.

The servants left muttering to themselves, and Zhao Yue came out of the dining room with a sinister look and an expression of shame and embarrassment.

Her eyes were red as she clutched the necklace around her neck, her voice hoarse and dazed.

"Look down on me, look down on me, you will definitely regret it, I will make you regret it!"

She has been keeping an eye on Xiao Yun since she was very young. Having guarded him for so many years, she would never give him up to anyone else.

Xiao Yun must be hers, must be hers!

Zhao Yue thought of the unconscious smile on Xiao Yun's lips at the dinner table. She felt like a needle piercing her heart and was almost going crazy with jealousy.

Shen Lan, Shen Lan must be dealt with first.

As long as this roadblock is gone, she can slowly plan the rest.

There was a trace of struggle in Zhao Yue's eyes. She still had a trump card, the most important trump card her father left her, which she could not use unless it was absolutely necessary.

She originally wanted to use it on a more important occasion, but now she can only waste it on Shen Lan.

At this time, Xiao Yun, who was being missed, was applying medicine to the wound on his lip.

The white ointment smells only of light medicine and an unknown flower scent. It feels cool when applied to the lips, and the slight pain is instantly wiped away.

Xiao Yun's brows relaxed unconsciously.

Wang Ling watched from the side with envy, "Brother Yun, dig me some ointment. Your wound is so small, it will heal after two or three applications. It would be a waste to leave so much. This ointment obviously has a short shelf life."

When Shen Lan was at the Xiao family, she rarely made her own medicine, so Wang Ling had no chance to study it. Now that he finally had the chance, he shamelessly asked Xiao Yun for it.

After saying all the nice things he could, Xiao Yun stingily gave him a coin-sized amount, which made Wang Ling very angry.

Xiao Yun glanced at him and said, "If you don't want it, you can give it back to me."

"Yes, of course!" Wang Ling put the medicine away carefully and asked habitually, "Brother Yun, have you had a headache recently? How much of the medicine Shen Lan gave you is left?"

Xiao Yun smiled and made a "1" gesture to him.

Wang Ling was delighted: "Only once?"

Xiao Yun shook his index finger, his smile so sweet it made your teeth ache: "I haven't done that once."
