The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 171 We are Family

Xia Jie'er hugged the toys tightly, as if afraid that she would take them back. "Who said I threw them at you? I... I just threw them for fun. It just so happens that you and Mother came in. You're just unlucky."

"You silly girl, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll punish you by not letting you eat anymore," Madam Qi scolded.

"Fine, I won't eat it then." Xia Jie made a face at her.

Qi was furious.

Yunwei looked at Xia Jie'er with amusement, then reached into her purse and took out a perfectly round, polished jade bead, which she slowly played with.

When Xia Jie saw it, her eyes widened. "Auntie, your bead is so beautiful!"

“I think they’re beautiful too,” Yunwei said, taking two more out of her purse.

"Auntie, can I borrow your beads to play with for a while?" Xia asked, swallowing hard.

"Why should I lend it to you?" Yun Wei raised an eyebrow.

“I am your own niece,” Xia said seriously, then added, “I am your closest relative,” fearing that Xia might not take it seriously.

Madam Qi was shocked by her daughter's shamelessness.

“But you just said that you only have one aunt, not a great-aunt,” Yunwei said.

Xia Jie stamped her foot, looking embarrassed and annoyed. "I was just saying that in anger. How could you take it seriously, Aunt?"

"Then why did you say those hurtful things?" Yunwei asked.

“It was because of my eldest aunt that my younger aunt was divorced, and the scars on her face were also inflicted by my eldest aunt. My eldest aunt is a bad person,” Xia Jie’er said.

"Who told you these words?" Yun Wei asked, though she already knew in her heart that it must have been Yun Yao.

“My aunt told me herself,” Xia’er blurted out, her eyes still fixed on the jade beads in her hand.

Qi gasped.

No wonder Xia Jie'er is acting so strangely today; she was instigated by Yun Yao.

Xia Jie'er is usually a bit mischievous, but not bad. Throwing mud at people like this is something that has never happened before.

Unexpectedly, she was not watching her daughter closely enough, and Yun Yao led her astray.

Her expression turned cold.

“Xia’er, your aunt was divorced because she did something wrong. It has nothing to do with your eldest aunt. Also, the scar on her face was caused by a thug.” Qi explained to her daughter, suppressing her anger.

Xia Jie'er frowned. "But if it has nothing to do with Auntie, why would Auntie say it's Auntie?"

"In the plays, it is said that bad people do bad things but dare not admit it, and always like to blame others," Qi said.

Xia Jie'er's eyes widened. "You mean, Auntie deliberately framed Auntie?"

Madam Qi patted her head and said, "Xia'er is a smart girl. You can judge for yourself."

Xia Jie looked conflicted, "But my aunt is very good to me..."

Madam Qi was furious. If Yun Yao truly cared for her daughter, she wouldn't have used her to deal with Yun Wei.

“The scars on your aunt’s face are indeed related to me, but her being divorced has nothing to do with me,” Yunwei suddenly said.

Xia Jie looked at her in surprise, "Did you really hurt Auntie's face?"

“Yes.” Yun Wei nodded.

Qi looked at her in surprise.

"Why?" Xia asked, puzzled.

Yunwei didn't answer directly, but squatted down in front of her, "What should Xia Jie do if someone tries to hurt her?"

Xia tilted her head, trying hard to think, "Then I definitely can't let him succeed, I'll run away."

"What if she escaped once, but the bad guys come to hurt Xia-jie again next time?" Yunwei asked again.

"Then I'll beat him up and show him what I'm capable of. If he's afraid of me, he won't dare to do it again next time," Xia Jie said with a serious expression.

Yunwei was amused by her little expression and reached out to pat her head. "Xia-jie is great."

Xia Jie, flattered by the praise, couldn't help but puff out her chest, her face full of pride. "I'll let the bad guys know that Xia Jie is not someone to be trifled with." "Yes, that's right," Yun Wei nodded in agreement.

Xia Jie paused, then suddenly realized something and widened her eyes, "So, Auntie hurt Auntie's face because Auntie wanted to hurt Auntie, and Auntie attacked her to protect herself?"

Yunwei said admiringly, "Xia-jie is very smart."

Xia Jie frowned, "My little aunt is so inconsiderate."

Qi Shi breathed a sigh of relief; Yun Wei really had a solution.

"If even the eldest aunt is going to hurt her, then Xia'er should be more careful in the future and not be fooled again." Qi Shi took the opportunity to teach her daughter to stay away from Yun Yao.

Xia Jie sighed, mimicking an adult, "I know, Mother."

Yunwei was amused by her mature demeanor.

"Madam, Second Miss, the banquet is about to begin. Madam has sent me to invite you to dine in the front courtyard." At this moment, a maid came over and said respectfully.

"Understood, I'll be right there," Qi replied.

"Auntie." Xia'er stretched out her hand to Yunwei, her big eyes blinking as she looked at the jade beads in her hand.

Yunwei looked at the mud on her little hands and smiled slightly. "Go wash your hands."

Xia Jie immediately ran to wash her hands.

When she came back after washing, she stretched her little hands out to Yunwei again, "Auntie, look, my hands are so clean."

"Then you can borrow it to play with." Yunwei handed the jade bead to her.

Xia Jie held it tightly in her hand as if it were a precious treasure.

When the group arrived at the front yard, they ran into Yun Yao.

When Qi thought of how she had instigated Xia'er, her expression turned cold.

"Sister-in-law, sister." Yun Yao stepped forward to greet them as if nothing had happened.

Neither of them paid any attention to her. Xia Jie was busy playing with the jade beads, so she had even less time to pay attention to her.

Seeing this, Yun Yao was very displeased.

She forced a smile and said, "Sister Xia, what are you playing?"

Xia Jie looked up at her and said, "Little Aunt, I'm playing with Big Aunt's jade beads."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yao secretly clenched her handkerchief.

Such a warm call.

How did this girl accept Yunwei so quickly?
The little girl was very indignant when she told her about what Yunwei had done to her.

So quickly, Yunwei has won her over?

What a shameless girl!

"Sister-in-law, I see that the jade bead isn't very smooth. Xia'er's hands are delicate; I hope she doesn't get cut by the sharp edges." She looked concerned about Xia'er.

Qi glanced at her and said, "Thank you for your trouble. The jade bead is smooth and translucent. No matter how delicate Xia'er's hands are, she won't get cut."

Also, Xia'er is still young and can't distinguish right from wrong, especially what her relatives say; she tends to believe it all. As her aunt, you must be careful what you say in front of her, lest Xia'er imitates you and be led astray.

Yun Yao's expression changed slightly.

Qi was giving her a warning.

She was very annoyed, but she couldn't show it.

She could sense that Qi's attitude towards her was no longer the same as before.

Yunwei must have stirred things up in front of her.

This bitch!

A surge of resentment welled up inside her, and she said sarcastically, "Did you hear that, sister? Don't talk nonsense in front of Xia-jie."
