Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After all, Big Ke and Ah Lu were elite mercenaries. The two of them quietly approached the room that Jiang Yao mentioned, and it took less than three minutes to control the two people inside.
A few seconds later, Jiang Yao received a message from Big Ke.
Only then did Jiang Yao return to her room and remove the bug. She was cautious when she did that as that thing was very expensive. If it was in her hands, she might be able to reuse it for other purposes another day.
Jiang Yao had to thank Lu Xingzhi for teaching her to recognize that coin-sized bug. Lu Xingzhi had once drawn Jiang Yao’s attention to all kinds of high-tech eavesdropping tools that he had seen in his notebook. One of them was the one in her hands.
Therefore, there was no harm in learning more things. If someone did not know anything about the eavesdropping devices, even if they accidentally found one, they would think it was a child’s toy.
Jiang Yao turned around and went downstairs. She returned to the kitchen and continued to stare at the medicine meant for Mrs. Lu’s feet. After waiting for 45 minutes, she poured the black mixture into the foot basin, then spread the dregs on the gauze.
When Mr. Lu heard movement in the kitchen, he walked in and saw Jiang Yao carrying the foot basin. He quickly went to carry it for her. “It’s so heavy and hot. Why didn’t you tell me to take it for you? What if it burns you?”
“Dad, my hands are very strong.”
Jiang Yao did not know whether to laugh or cry. Did Mr. Lu think she was made of tofu? It was not heavy anyway.
“Do you have strong hands? I don’t believe you.” Mr. Lu chuckled as he carried the basin to Mrs. Lu, who was sitting on the sofa watching television. “Yaoyao made it for you for almost an hour. Go ahead and soak your feet in it. “
“Dad, it’s too hot. We need to wait for the water to cool down first.”
Jiang Yao did not know whether to laugh or cry. Mr. Lu was worried about her, and he was even concerned about the hot water burning her. However, he had forgotten that the water was hot so he asked Mrs. Lu to soak her feet in it.
Mr. Lu stood there and smiled awkwardly. Jiang Yao moved a short stool and sat beside Mrs. Lu’s feet. Then, she stretched her hand to check on the gauze. She lowered her head and hiked Mrs. Lu’s trouser legs when the temperature was just right. She applied the gauze on Mrs. Lu’s knees.
Jiang Yao’s movements were very light. Mrs. Lu could only feel the temperature of the medicine on the gauze. On that slightly cold night, it was as if it could warm her bones. It made her knees, which had been uncomfortable for the whole day, feel much more relaxed.
“People say that a mother-in-law will always complain about a daughter-in-law. It’s always difficult to be a mother-in-law. But I think that my daughter-in-law is more considerate than my daughter.” Mrs. Lu’s eyes were red as she spoke. She patted Jiang Yao’s head. The young woman sat on a lower stool, so she was only as tall as her chest.
The human heart was made of flesh. If a person did not treat another person well, their heart could feel it.
When Lu Xingzhi insisted on marrying Jiang Yao, Mrs. Lu did not have any opinion about it. She only hoped that the couple’s relations.h.i.+p would be good. She also did not want to like her daughter-in-law.
However, it seemed like her daughter-in-law was comparable to her daughter.
“Your son married you a dutiful daughter-in-law.”
Mr. Lu smiled and nodded in agreement..
