That night, Tan Yueru personally cooked a scrumptious dish of sweet and sour fish. Then, she brought it over and placed it in front of the little dumpling.
“Tang Tang, Grandma asked Sister Chen a while ago and heard that you like sweet and sour fish the most recently, isn’t that right? So, Grandma especially made it for you. Would you like to have a taste?”
The little dumpling looked at the sweet and sour fish and instantly thought of her Big Sister, filling her with sorrow once again.
“Wah… I don’t want sweet and sour fish, I want my Big Sister!”
Tan Yueru couldn’t believe her ears!
‘Our little dumpling is a little foodie, and she should be very easy to coax. No matter what kind of tantrum she throws, as long as she is coaxed with something delicious, her tears would turn into a smile.
‘But now, she’s actually even refusing food because of that woman?’
“Tang Tang, be a good girl now. We’ll go look for Big Sister later. You haven’t eaten all day, so have some fish to eat first, alright?”
Tan Yueru picked up a piece of fish meat from its stomach, removed the fish bones and brought it to the little dumpling’s mouth.
However, the little dumpling shook her little head with all her might.
Then, with a push from her little hand, she said, “No, Tang Tang won’t eat it!!”
When she threw out her little chubby hand, it just so happened to sweep the plate in Tan Yueru’s hand.
“Bang!” A crisp sound was heard.
The plate fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Hearing this sound, the little dumpling was obviously scared silly and her eyes were wide open.
Although she was a pampered little princess, she had a good upbringing and had never broken anything in her entire life!
However, after being stunned for a few seconds, when she saw the sweet and sour fish on the ground, she immediately remembered something sad.
“Uwuuu. Tang Tang doesn’t want to eat sweet and sour fish. Tang Tang wants Big Sister!!”
…
After a while, the crying in the room finally stopped.
Tan Yueru walked out awkwardly.
She then ordered Sister Chen, who was standing at the door, “The floor is full of broken glass, go in and clean it up. Don’t let Tang Tang touch it.”
“Don’t worry, Madam. I will clean it up,” Sister Chen agreed immediately.
She hesitated for a while before saying, “Madam, is Little Miss still not willing to eat?”
Sister Chen was an old servant within the Mu Family who had helped Tan Yueru raise Mu Weiwei in the past.
Hence, Tan Yueru trusted her very much.
She sighed, “Sister Chen, what do you think is going on? It’s fine if Yichen likes that woman, but Tang Tang has been abused by her so many times, so why does she still like her so much?”
Sister Chen said hesitantly, “About that… Madam, actually… I think that Young Madam has been treating Little Miss quite well…”
“Why do you say that too!” Tan Yueru glared at her. “You can’t judge what a person is truly thinking by their face! I was also deceived by her when I just returned two days ago! Now that I’ve seen her true colors, I mustn’t be soft-hearted again anymore!”
She looked back worriedly. “Hurry up and sweep it up. If Tang Tang wakes up, she might step on it accidentally.”
After Tan Yueru left, Sister Chen took the broom and walked into the children’s room.
On the big princess bed, the little dumpling was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed.
Sister Chen was afraid of disturbing the little angel, so she tidied up quietly and left.
As soon as she went out, she saw Butler Chen standing in the corridor.
She walked over and lowered her voice. “Old Chen, what do you think we should do about this? I really don’t think Young Madam would do such a thing!”
“Keep your voice down!” Butler Chen hurriedly pulled her back. “Did you see what happened that day with your own eyes? How dare you say such nonsense!”
Sister Chen said, “I didn’t see it, but there are no surveillance cameras that can prove that it was really Young Madam’s doing?”
Butler Chen glared at her. “If it wasn’t Young Madam, then wouldn’t that mean that it was Miss Bai who did it? Which of these two can we afford to offend? It’d have been fine if we saw it with our own eyes, but fact is, neither of us saw it with our own eyes. Wouldn’t you just be creating trouble for yourself with your empty words?”
Sister Chen sighed deeply, “You’re right. I just feel that… Young Madam is really too pitiful! Now that Madam has chased her to the riverside garden’s apartment, I don’t know when she’ll be back! Also, Little Miss is also so pitiful that my heart aches from hearing her cries…”
“Don’t worry, Eldest Young Master definitely has a way. So, we don’t need to worry too much.”
The two of them were only focused on whispering.
They did not notice that not far behind them, the door of the children’s room opened a crack and a small head had peeked out secretly.
