As soon as those words fell, Liu Wan saw Xie Huaishan glaring viciously at her and the baby in her arms.
Xia Wanwan glared right back without the slightest hesitation, fierce in her own babyish way.
The two little ones stared each other down.
Liu Wan stroked Xia Wanwan's head to soothe her.
After all, the incident had happened in her courtyard. Even if Xie Jinqiu had not sent someone to fetch her, she would have come to take a look.
She had never expected to be met with hostile looks for no reason the moment she arrived.
Not only Madam Li, but the masters and mistresses from every branch avoided her like the plague. Xie Jinqiu even retreated to Madam Li's side with a cold sneer.
There were many people facing Liu Wan, but on her side, there were only her and her daughter.
Xie Jinqiu smiled and said to Madam Li, "Mother, I was the one who sent for Sister-in-law."
[He's up to no good, up to no good! Mother, watch out for this scheming Fourth Uncle. He's rotten! He acts sickly all day, but he actually loves drugging people!]
[Ptooey! If he dares scheme against my mother again, I'll fight him to the death when I grow up!]
[I'm furious! Absolutely furious!]
Xia Wanwan clenched her two adorable little teeth so hard that her gums reddened. Gripping her pacifier tightly, she glared fiercely at everyone present.
Liu Wan restrained the little one squirming in her arms and said nothing.
"You?" Madam Li looked at Xie Jinqiu indifferently.
Xie Jinqiu said, "Yes. I invited Sister-in-law here to announce something. The Zhong Family has agreed to provide funds to keep the Marquis's Residence's businesses running. Since everyone happens to be here, Mother, you should announce what you promised Youyan."
