Chapter 858: Sensible

I nodded. “What do you guys talk about?”

Xiao Zhi thought for a moment. “It’s just some family matters.”

“Such as?”

Xiao Zhi was a little bewildered by me. “For example, she’ll tell me some secrets about the Jing family. I’ll also tell her about my childhood…”

I nodded in realization. “Oh, for example, you’ll tell the second madam that Auntie Lan likes Yilan grass?”

Xiao Zhi nodded hesitantly.

I understood. “That’s right. You accidentally revealed that Auntie Lan likes Yilan grass. In the end, they used that to discipline a poisonous snake and secretly brought that poisonous snake in. That snake then attacked Auntie Lan, who had Yilan grass fragrance on her. That must be the case!”

Xiao Zhi’s eyes lit up. She agreed, “Yes, yes! That must be it. I accidentally revealed that Xiao Lan likes Yilan grass!”

I glanced at her. “If that’s the case, the second madam will have to bear the blame. Madam An, would you be willing to bear witness to her crime in public?”

Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment.

I said with some difficulty, “The matters of this big family are much more complicated than those on the island. It won’t be easy for Jing Tian to establish a foothold in the Jing family. Although the old master likes his youngest son the most, the Jing brothers have always been eyeing him like a tiger eyeing its prey. Just now, Auntie Lan was bitten by a snake. Although we know that the second madam is a suspect, we don’t have a strong witness. If we want to punish her, we won’t be able to do so.” I intentionally sighed.

“Fine! I can testify against her!”Xiao Zhi said through gritted teeth without any hesitation.

“Really?” I pressed.

Xiao Zhi nodded heavily. Then she looked at Jing Tian, who hadn’t said a word. “I will testify against Second madam. I will also tell you all the private matters of the Jing family that she mentioned. I can tell you everything. Jing Tian, I only beg you to take in the three of us. We can do anything you want!”

Jing Tian glanced at her and said indifferently, “I didn’t ask you to testify against her!”

Xiao Zhi nodded hurriedly. “Yes. It was because I couldn’t stand it anymore that I testified against her. It has nothing to do with you. Jing Tian, we are blood relatives!”

Jing Tian sneered and didn’t say anything.

I gave Xiao Zhi the chance, but she turned a deaf ear to it after hearing that Auntie Lan was bitten by a snake. She focused all her attention on how to make a deal.

I really hoped that Auntie Lan would be able to see all of this with her own eyes so that she wouldn’t have too much sympathy for her ‘family’.

“Gao Da, take them away. We’ll arrange for them to testify against the second madam later,” I lightly instructed.

“Yes,” Gao Da replied in a low voice.

“Wait, wait, wait, Nanxing, Miss Nanxing,” Xiao Zhi said anxiously.

“What else?” I saw Xiao Zhi holding onto Angel’s wrist tightly, looking very anxious.

“Miss Nanxing, Angel is about the same age as you. If you have anything you need to do, let her run errands for you. Let her accompany you, will you look after her? Angel has changed. She’s very sensible now!” Xiao Zhi tried her best to promote her stepdaughter. She completely ignored the ruthlessness and disgust on Angie’s face.

I chuckled. “Mrs. An, what era is this? You should at least discuss these things with Miss Angel, right? How can you let Miss Angel provide such a service to me? This is too humiliating for me.”

Before Xiao Zhi could speak, Angel couldn’t hold back anymore.
