Mr. and Mrs. Tao were waiting for them at the entrance of the greenhouse. The two of them were chatting and laughing, sharing the joy of Chinese New Year’s Eve. However, when they turned around, they saw Tan Ron and the others walking over with serious expressions.

“What’s wrong with your aunt? Is she still unhappy about losing too much money earlier?” Mrs. Tao asked with a smile.

Mr. Tao sensed that something was wrong and stopped smiling. “Rourou, why did you call your mother and me over?”

Tan Rou nodded slightly. “Let’s talk inside.”

Mrs. Tao stopped smiling. She felt that something serious might happen next. If it wasn’t something very important, Xiao Rou wouldn’t have called them over on the eve of the Lunar New Year.

The servants were on holiday for the past two days, and no one was taking care of the greenhouse. Moreover, the greenhouse was relatively quiet and suitable for important matters.

Tan Rou was the last to enter the greenhouse. She paused at the door for a few seconds and glanced at a place from the corner of her eye. Then, she curled her lips and whispered, “Here she is again.”

“Xiao Rou, what are you talking about?” Mrs. Tao asked.

Tan Rou replied, “I said that the flowers are really beautiful.”

“The flowers are indeed beautiful.” Tao Yan’s mother looked around and agreed.

After entering the greenhouse, Tan Rou locked the door so that no one could enter while they were talking.

“Xiao Rou, what exactly happened?” Mrs. Tao asked urgently.

Tan Rou put her index finger to her mouth and mouthed softly, “Just talk about unimportant things for a minute. I’m going to catch someone.”

Although they did not understand what she meant, they did as she said.

Tan Rou walked quietly through the flowers. When she reached the door, she leaned against the wall. The wall was made of matte tempered glass, so she couldn’t see what was going on inside. Only the window on the wail could see. Under the transparent window, a figure was eavesdropping. Tan Rou suddenly opened the window, and the person couldn’t dodge in time. He was so scared that he fell to the ground.

“Why is Second Cousin squatting here on such a cold day? Are you trying to eavesdrop on our conversation?” Tan Rou said with a faint smile.

“I wasn’t. I was just passing by.” Tao Yue stood up and waved her hand.

Tan Rou looked at the stone road in the distance and smiled.

Tao Yue rolled her eyes and changed her words. “I’m here to see Auntie. Is Auntie inside?” Actually, she wanted to see if Aunt Tao was making a deal with Tan Ron’s family. Aunt Tao had a lot of shares, and Tao Yue was worried that she would give those shares to Tan Ron’s family.

Mrs. Tao walked over. “Why are you looking for me?”

“Grandma asked me to look for you.” In a panic, Tao Yue gave a random reason.

“If I remember correctly, Grandma punished you to go back to your room to reflect on yourself this afternoon, right?” Tan Rou crossed her arms. “There are so many people at home. Why would Grandma specially ask you to pass a message?”

Aunt Tao’s expression turned ugly. “Even if you’re lying, you have to find a more reasonable excuse. Since the old lady wants you to go back and reflect on yourself, then go back to your room and reflect on yourself. Don’t cause any more trouble.”

Tan Rou sent a message to Aunt Zhou, asking her to come and take Tao Yue away.

“Strange, how did you get out? Isn’t Second Aunt looking at you?” Tan Rou asked.

“Second Sister-in-law was just called by the old lady to make dumplings.”

Tao Yue was indeed reflecting in her room at first. Second Aunt Tao was accompanying her in the living room, but the old lady asked Second Aunt Tao to help with the dumplings. So, it ended up with no one watching Tao Yue. Tao Yue couldn’t stand it. She wanted to sneak into the main residence, but she saw Tan Rou and the others on the way, so she followed them.

“Since Grandma has given the order, Second Cousin should follow it well.” Tan Rou smiled and said, “If you can’t go back on your own, then someone else would be able to help you with it.”

Coincidentally, Aunt Zhou had also arrived. Tan Rou said, “Aunt Zhou, please invite the Second Cousin back. Without Grandma’s permission, it’s better not to let her out. Otherwise, Grandma will be angry.”

Tao Yue stomped her foot and left reluctantly.

“I’ve always thought she was a good child. When she said those words this afternoon, I thought she was young and ignorant.” Tao GuGu looked at Tao Yue’s back and said sadly.

“Sigh, I didn’t expect her to be such a person!”

Tan Rou said, “Don’t be sad, Auntie. She’s always been like this. She just pretended to be good in the past.”

“Don’t worry about Tao Yue. You didn’t call us here to see Tao Yue, did you?”

Mr. Tao asked..
