"Stop!"
Xiao Cuiying stood up from the sofa and stared at Jiang Yi. "Who told you about my niece's affairs?"
"A housekeeper named Ye!" Jiang Yi replied.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cuiying's brow furrowed.
"I didn't expect you to know so much, but I still can't trust you. Many people in the Xiao family know about Butler Ye's situation. Just based on this, I cannot trust you!" Xiao Cuiying said.
Xiao Cuiying knew the infant was still alive and was very excited, but she did not show it on her face.
She continued to test Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi was also testing her.
Jiang Yi's goal was to find out if Xiao Cuiying was trustworthy.
"If that infant is still alive, what will you do?" Jiang Yi asked Xiao Cuiying.
"I will help her become the head of the Xiao family!"
Xiao Cuiying stared at Jiang Yi and asked, "Where is she now? To make me believe you, it's simple. Just let me see her, and I will believe you."
"She's not in the capital!" Jiang Yi said.
"Then where is she?" Xiao Cuiying asked.
"For her safety, I cannot tell you."
Jiang Yi smiled slightly. "But don't worry, once I've handled everything, she will naturally come to the capital, and then you can see her."
Hearing this, Xiao Cuiying's brow furrowed slightly.
"You don't trust me?" Xiao Cuiying asked.
"That's right!"
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
"This matter is of great importance. Until I understand your intentions, I don't trust you, just as you don't trust me."
A cold smile appeared on Xiao Cuiying's face.
"I didn't expect you to be so clever. Perhaps I really misunderstood, and you are not working for Xiao Jianren. But I don't understand, why would you approach Xiao Jianren?" Xiao Cuiying asked.
"I just want to use him. Only by using Xiao Jianren can I cure Old Master Xiao. Once Old Master Xiao wakes up, we can coordinate from the inside and outside, allowing that infant from years ago to become the head of the Xiao family," Jiang Yi said.
"You are indeed very smart!"
Xiao Cuiying nodded.
"If you trust me, let me go and save Old Master Xiao now," Jiang Yi said.
"Not now!"
Xiao Cuiying refused. "Until you gain my trust, I will not let you near the Old Master."
"Alright!"
Jiang Yi shrugged and then left the hall.
As soon as he reached the courtyard, he saw a figure standing by the window.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Xiao Jianren.
Judging by Xiao Jianren's appearance, he had been standing by the window for a long time!
He must have heard everything he and Xiao Cuiying had just discussed.
This time it's over!
"Jiang Yi, well done!"
Xiao Jianren walked over, patted Jiang Yi on the shoulder, and smiled. "I didn't expect you to be so clever. The plan almost succeeded."
These words stunned Jiang Yi!
He had expected Xiao Jianren to turn hostile, but he never imagined he would say something like this.
"Young Master, I just..." Jiang Yi said.
"I understand!"
Xiao Jianren smiled at Jiang Yi. "I heard everything you just said. You were trying to use the incident from years ago to make Xiao Cuiying comply and obediently let you treat the Old Master."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but chuckle.
So, Xiao Jianren wasn't suspecting him, but rather thought everything he said earlier was to deceive Xiao Cuiying.
He had been worried just moments ago!
Now, there was no need to worry!
"Jiang Yi, your plan is good. She almost believed you just now!"
Xiao Jianren said to Jiang Yi, "Come find her again tomorrow. If you succeed in this matter, I will reward you handsomely."
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi nodded.
"It's getting late, get some rest. We have things to do tomorrow!" Xiao Jianren said.
Then, Xiao Jianren turned and went to the backyard.
Jiang Yi watched Xiao Jianren's retreating figure and smiled slightly.
Xiao Jianren wasn't stupid; he was simply too trusting of him, which was why he didn't suspect him.
It seemed he had completely gained Xiao Jianren's trust.
Jiang Yi didn't linger. After returning to his room, he lay down on the bed to rest.
He slept until the next morning.
"Knock knock..."
There was a knock on the door outside his room.
When Jiang Yi opened the door, he saw Xiao Jianren.
"Aunt is in the hall. Come, let's go talk to her together!" Xiao Jianren said.
Jiang Yi responded and followed him.
Upon reaching the hall, he indeed saw Xiao Cuiying sitting on the sofa, drinking tea.
Xiao Cuiying sneered when she saw Jiang Yi and Xiao Jianren arrive.
"Aunt, good morning!"
Xiao Jianren smiled and greeted Xiao Cuiying.
Xiao Cuiying ignored Xiao Jianren.
"Aunt, the Old Master's condition is likely worse now. Why not let Jiang Yi take a look? We can't delay this any longer. What if something happens to the Old Master?" Xiao Jianren said.
"Xiao Jianren, don't play these games with me. They're useless," Xiao Cuiying said indifferently.
Just as Xiao Jianren was about to continue speaking, Xiao Wenbin entered from outside with Divine Physician Yan.
"Aunt!"
Xiao Wenbin quickly greeted Xiao Cuiying.
"If you have other matters, state them. If not, get out and don't disturb me," Xiao Cuiying said coldly.
"Aunt, please let Divine Physician Yan take a look at the Old Master. With you present, even if we wanted to do anything tricky, we wouldn't have the chance."
"If you're still worried, I can have someone install a surveillance camera in the Old Master's room. That should put your mind at ease!" Xiao Wenbin said.
"I've already installed cameras!"
Xiao Cuiying replied, "Not only the Old Master's room, but the entire villa is equipped with surveillance cameras. Your every move is under my watch."
Hearing this, Xiao Wenbin's brow furrowed.
"Stop fussing. Even if you talk until the sky falls, I won't let you treat the Old Master. I know all your tricks. It was due to my momentary negligence that someone succeeded in their scheme and caused the Old Master to end up like this."
"This time, I will never make the same mistake again," Xiao Cuiying said angrily.
Xiao Wenbin said nothing further.
"All of you get out. From now on, no one is allowed into the hall without my permission," Xiao Cuiying ordered them to leave.
Xiao Wenbin could only take Divine Physician Yan and leave the hall.
"You two get out too!" Xiao Cuiying stared at Xiao Jianren and Jiang Yi.
"Aunt..." Xiao Jianren was still somewhat unwilling.
"Didn't you hear me? I told you to get out!" Xiao Cuiying said angrily.
Xiao Jianren snorted and took Jiang Yi out of the hall.
In the courtyard outside, Xiao Jianren smiled slightly and said to Jiang Yi, "This matter is up to you. No matter what method you use, you must find a way to make Aunt agree to treat the Old Master."
