Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

Chapter 202 But Whose Life Is Not Life

When everyone had left and only Bai Sui'an and the couple were left, Bai Sui'an spoke.

"Master Xu, I'm here on important business and won't stay here long."

The implication was to advise them not to hold the banquet.

Xu Hongxiu stroked his white-streaked goatee and said cheerfully, "You just got home, aren't you going to take a look around? I've had someone tidy up your yard. I'm sure you'll like it!"

His wife Su Xia gave him a look, walked to Bai Sui'an's side, and whispered, "We have arranged everything for you. We just want you to rest for a few days. There is no delay."

Both veterans are so calm. As elders, they always show their kind side in front of the younger generation.

But how could the owner of Mingyue Villa be such a kind person?

"Is the banquet the day after tomorrow also part of your plan? How do you need my cooperation?"

Bai Sui'an guessed what the two were thinking and asked directly.

"Don't be impatient, we will let you go when it's time." Xu Hongxiu signaled Su Xia to take Bai Sui'an to visit the courtyard.

The originally gentle expression now had a hint of scrutiny.

It seemed that Bai Sui'an's words hit the point, but he still didn't intend to tell Bai Sui'an directly.

Bai Sui'an couldn't help but suspect Ye Zihu's real purpose in asking her to leave Qianheng Kingdom.

But the people in front of me are the children's grandparents...

Don't do anything that is harmful to the children.

Bai Sui'an confirmed one last time: "Will Qian Heng be alright these few days?"

Su Xia took her arm and led her outside: "No."

The villa covers a large area, with mountains and water. It takes a long walk to get to Bai Sui'an's yard.

On the way, Su Xia kept introducing Bai Sui'an to the environment of the villa and the servants they met on the way.

"I'll send a few skilled girls to your place later. You can pick two to serve you."

Bai Sui'an said, "I'm not used to being waited on. No need."

Su Xia curled her lips and said slowly: "Even if I don't serve you, I will keep people to protect you."

The two looked at each other, and Bai Sui'an saw the profound meaning in the other's expression.

"The owner of the manor is tight-lipped and unwilling to speak, so why is Madam giving me a hint?"

Su Xia touched the bun on the back of her head and said nonchalantly, "Those men only know how to talk about righteousness and strategy all day long. They treat everyone as pawns for the sake of the overall situation. But whose life is not life?"

She placed her hand on Bai Sui'an's back, "I heard from Baili that you are quite skilled, so you should be able to survive."

It seems like nothing was said, but everything was said.

Bai Sui'an nodded: "I won't die."

She could guess what the party the day after tomorrow was for.

When the invitations are sent out, many people will come, and she will then appear as the second young lady of Mingyue Villa. Soon, the whole world will know that the second young lady of Mingyue Villa is Bai Sui'an.

The clever Gong Chang must have guessed that she was Gong Sui'an.

This means that she has to help Qianheng Kingdom share some of the firepower.

The more difficult she is, the more anxious Gong Chang will become.

There will be more flaws.

The courtyard prepared for Bai Sui'an was not named, and Su Xia didn't say anything. After settling him down, she personally brought the servants over.

There were seven girls in total, and each of them was obviously from the martial arts world at first glance.

Bai Sui'an wanted to check the physical conditions and strengths of several girls one by one. She wanted to pick some who could cooperate with her actions and stay.

Before she could ask, Su Xia suddenly waved her hand, pretending to be bothered, and said, "Alright, this is our own Erxiaojia. I don't feel comfortable leaving only a few of you to protect me. Why don't you all stay? It will be more convenient if you can help run errands. If all seven of you can't protect the young lady, then I will lock you all in the water dungeon."

The seven girls said in unison: "Yes!"

Bai Sui'an cast a doubtful look, and Su Xia smiled at her: "You must be exhausted after traveling for several days. Let the servants take care of you and let you rest first."

As if to demonstrate that there is strength in numbers, the seven girls started looking for work on their own as soon as they finished speaking.

In order to make it easier to remember, Bai Sui'an simply called the seven of them "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Cyan, and Purple" and arranged them in order of age.

There was a kitchen in the yard, and Ah Huang, Ah Qing and Ah Zi went there to prepare food.

Ah Hong went to boil water for Bai Sui'an to bathe.

The other three followed Bai Sui'an to set up the trap in the yard.

When he came in, Bai Sui'an felt that the courtyard was in a remote location, almost close to the edge of the villa, and was easily approached by outsiders.

But the wall is high and there is no place outside to help people climb, so it is still difficult to get in without going through the door.

There must be someone guarding the door, for fear that some people with great skills or a group of people will sneak in and assassinate, so more arrangements are needed.

Moreover, the banquet the day after tomorrow will be held in the villa. There will be many people there, and it will be a mixed crowd. There is no guarantee that they will do something wrong in the villa.

After resting, Bai Sui'an also asked other servants in the villa about various remote places.

She also decorated the outside.

Moreover, the people in the villa were very friendly and quite talkative when they met Bai Sui'an. After chatting for a few minutes, they all agreed when they heard Bai Sui'an ask them to pay attention to some things during the banquet.

In Bai Sui'an's eyes, the seven girls were just partners. After arranging for them to stay in the yard, Bai Sui'an didn't say much to them.

They were originally sent by Mingyue Villa to help her, and Bai Sui'an didn't want to develop too many ties with them.

But some girls don't think so.

As night fell, Ah Qing came into the house carrying hot tea.

"Second Miss, you didn't sleep much during the day, and you've been wandering around the villa for a long time. I'm afraid you won't be able to rest well, so I specially made you some calming tea that I made at home. You'll be able to rest better at night after drinking it."

"Thank you, please put it down."

Bai Sui'an had no intention of drinking.

Su Xia brought her a topographic map of the villa. Based on this map and the actual situation she saw during the day, she was guessing where those people with impure motives would be and what actions they would take on the day of the banquet.

Ah Qing put down the teapot and tiptoed behind Bai Sui'an.

She and A Zi are the same age, the youngest of the seven, only fourteen years old. They are good at fighting and have good talents, but their temperament is actually no different from that of ordinary children.

After spending half a day together, Bai Sui'an didn't interact much with them, but she couldn't help but become curious about Bai Sui'an.

Bai Sui'an noticed the person when she walked over. He leaned back slightly and looked sideways at the thin girl. A wooden sign with the word "Qing" engraved on her waist indicated her identity.

"Is there anything else?" Bai Sui'an asked.

Ah Qing blinked and grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, which formed a sharp contrast with her tanned skin due to long-term martial arts practice.

For a moment, Bai Sui'an thought of her daughter. Although she usually helped to pay attention, Lin Yashu was already a little tanned after less than a month of practice.

Ah Qing said innocently, "I just want to see what the lady is doing."

Bai Sui'an beckoned her to come to him and asked, "How long have you been here?"

"Have you been to this village?" Ah Qing counted on his fingers, "About half a month."

This was somewhat beyond Bai Sui'an's expectations: "Half a month?"
