The servant was a little hesitant. She did not know if she should help Chen Xiang. After all, their main mission was to guard here and not let Tan Si have the chance to escape.
Chen Xiang could tell what they were thinking and deliberately pretended to be domineering. “I’m an esteemed guest invited by your Zhao family. I asked you to help find something and made so many excuses. Could it be that you want to hide the earrings and take them away?”
As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and walked back, looking like she was going to complain to someone.
The servants quickly stopped her. It was not a big deal to find an earring. If it really got out, they would definitely be at a disadvantage. In order to satisfy the guests, the main family would only punish them.
“Miss, please wait. We’ll find it for you now,” the servant said.
Chen Xiang looked at her. “Why didn’t you do this earlier? I’m not an unreasonable person. As long as you find my earrings, the matter will be over.” Leaving a few people to guard the door, the servants spread out to look for the earrings. The diamond earring on Chen Xiang’s ear sparkled. It was obvious that they were expensive. Everyone searched carefully, afraid that they would accidentally step on them.
Such a commotion naturally could not be hidden from Tan Si. When she saw the large group of people almost lying on the ground looking for something, she was puzzled as to what had happened.
She opened the window to listen to the sound. Zhao Yan was afraid that she would jump off the building again. The outside of the window was reinforced with an anti-theft net, so Tan Si could only stick to the window.
Chen Xiang noticed that Tan Si was listening and said loudly, “You have to find my earrings quickly. I still have to go to the banquet in front to congratulate Mrs. Zhao. The Zhao family finally has a eldest grandson. It’s just that I don’t know when they’ll get a daughter-in-law. When the time comes, the child will have a mother. Mrs. Zhao said that this child will be under the name of a legitimate daughter-in-law in the future. It’s no different from having her own child.”
Tan Si was originally listening quietly, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she couldn’t help it. Although she had heard from Luo Xuan on the first day she entered the house that she wanted to find a better mother for the child, she thought that it was just a joke.
Even if she really had the heart to do so, it would take time.
Tan Si thought that Luo Xuan only felt that she was not worthy of Zhao Yan. When she gave birth to the child, she would try to please him. On account of the two children, Luo Xuan had to give her some face. If she could win over Zhao Yan’s heart, there was still a chance of her marrying into the family.
Tan Si believed that everything was man-made. It was just like how she did not want to marry a vegetable in the past, so she pushed Jiang An out to replace her.
When Si Cheng woke up, she would still be able to seduce him. If not for those coincidences, she would have married into a rich family long ago.
She knew that she could no longer sit still and wait for death. She had to fight for a chance of survival.
The servant did not dare to speak to Chen Xiang, but since the esteemed guest had spoken, she could not pretend to be mute. She said carefully, “Our young master is indeed lovable. Madam especially likes him.”
No one could find fault with this. The servant thought that nothing would go wrong.
However, Chen Xiang was waiting for someone to talk to her. She smiled and said, “Zhao Zhe is the eldest grandson of the Zhao family. One look and you can tell that he’s a smart child. Mrs. Zhao said that his biological mother has already pa.s.sed away. After a few years, no one will remember who this child’s biological mother is and record her under the name of the future mistress. Even if it’s legal, it has nothing to do with his biological mother, so as not to be affected.”
Tan Si’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. It was fine if she wanted to find a wife for Zhao Yan, but she actually said that she was dead?
If what this person said was true, then what was she? Logically speaking, even if she didn’t want her to enter the house, there was no need to lie. She had brought her child on television, so there was only one possibility. The Zhao family wanted something to happen to her.
Tan Si got up and quietly walked to the first floor. There were so many guests at the Zhao residence today. She had to seize this opportunity.
From the window, she could see that the servants were all helping on the other side. As long as she ran faster out of this door, she could run straight to the banquet hall.
“Aiyo, my stomach hurts,” Tan Si shouted.
The servants guarding the door hurriedly opened the door when they heard the sound. Previously, something had almost happened. They had finally recovered a little. If anything else happened, they really wouldn’t be able to live.
When the door opened, they did not discover anyone. Tan Si, who was hiding behind the door, took the opportunity to run out. Chen Xiang felt admiration for her.
Although she was here to cause trouble, she did not expect this person to be so reckless as to run out now with such a big stomach.
“Miss Tan, you can’t leave this place!” The servant was frightened and quickly chased after her.
The others also wanted to help, but Chen Xiang stopped them. “If you leave like this, what will happen to my earrings?”
The servants hesitated for a moment, causing them to not chase after her in time.
