After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 331 Mind Reading

For some reason, Su Xiaoxiao, who had just woken up and was eating breakfast in the kitchen, felt a long-lost sense of warmth.

Having dealt with Pei Yuan's concubine in the capital and the dog emperor who would occasionally come to cause trouble, Su Xiaoxiao found it incredibly comforting to hear Granny Liu's voice at this moment.

Su Lie came over to Su Xiaoxiao to ask whether they should open the door for Granny Liu.

As Su Xiaoxiao drank her fresh milk, she thought that the old woman was, after all, the grandmother of the two children, and that was something that couldn't be changed.

"Go open the door!"

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand.

"Yes."

Su Xiaoxiao turned to Liu Qiaomei beside her and said, "Go and brew her a pot of tea, the best Longjing tea."

These tea leaves look very high-end to others, but no one drinks them at Su Xiaoxiao's place. They're used to make tea eggs.

Su Xiaoxiao's family is now incredibly wealthy, if not richer than a country, it's almost that, completely incomparable to what it was before.

Grandma Liu was led into the living room by Su Lie. The room was filled with an air of luxury, and Grandma Liu looked around nervously.

She had to walk carefully, perhaps out of instinct, for fear of accidentally damaging someone else's furniture. In that sense, Grandma Liu wasn't stupid.

She looked up somewhat nervously and saw Su Xiaoxiao sitting at the head of the table, exuding the air of a matriarch of a prominent family.

Without paying attention, I tripped and fell on the threshold.

If Su Lie hadn't caught her, she would have collapsed in front of Su Xiaoxiao and kowtowed to her.

However, since it wasn't Chinese New Year or any other holidays, Su Xiaoxiao really didn't want to receive such a big gift all at once.

She looked up at Su Xiaoxiao with some trepidation, momentarily speechless. Su Xiaoxiao, however, calmly sipped her tea and asked, "What's wrong? Did you come here for something?"

Grandma Liu's eyes regained their fierce look. "Su Xiaoxiao, you know perfectly well what's going on!"

She deliberately straightened her back, but she still couldn't hide her guilty conscience.

"Hehe... I know? I don't think I can read minds, nor do I care that much about your thoughts. I don't know why you came here! Sorry."

"you……"

Su Xiaoxiao's words left Grandma Liu speechless.

She was so angry that she took a few steps back, almost stepping out the door.

"Alright, stop acting. Sit down and have some tea, or you might choke."

Su Xiaoxiao calmly offered her seat to Granny Liu, telling her to sit down before they talked.

This really put Grandma Liu at a loss; she didn't know what to do.

However, to show that she was not going to show weakness, she still went over and sat down, opposite Su Xiaoxiao.

Liu Qiaomei went over to show her the tea. The cup looked very delicate. Grandma Liu was a little afraid to pick it up. If she didn't hold it steady and broke it, she couldn't afford to pay for it.

"This tea looks pretty good."

Granny Liu said guiltily, "This is top-grade Maojian tea, a reward given to General Pei Yuan by the Emperor."

This sentence shocked Granny Liu to no end. What? The Emperor gave it to her?

As she drank her tea, her hands started to tremble slightly. "The reason I'm here is because you know Liu Xiaozhuang is back, right?"

As Grandma Liu was speaking, she actually crossed her legs in front of Su Xiaoxiao.

Indeed, Liu Xiaozhuang's return has given Grandma Liu a lot of support.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled dismissively after hearing this.

"Well, so what? What does it matter to me whether he comes back or not? We're not husband and wife anymore."

Su Xiaoxiao spoke casually, as if she didn't take the matter to heart at all.

"Not husband and wife? Who said that? You're nominally husband and wife, everyone in the village knows that. Back when you got married..."

Grandma Liu started rambling on about the old things again, which Su Xiaoxiao found very annoying.

Speaking of which, the person who married Liu Xiaozhuang before wasn't Su Xiaoxiao herself, right? She hadn't transmigrated yet at that time.

"Stop it. In my heart, Liu Xiaozhuang is already dead on the battlefield."

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head. Although it might sound a bit heartless to say this, after all these years of constant struggles with Granny Liu and Liu Xiaozhuang's arrogant attitude towards her after his return, Su Xiaoxiao felt that things were not so simple. It seemed that even if she wanted to forget how Granny Liu had bullied her, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao, it would be difficult for her.

Grandma Liu seemed very agitated. Su Xiaoxiao asked her, "If you don't have anything else to do, you can leave now. The two children went to the private school today and haven't come back yet. If you have nothing else to do, you can go now."

Grandma Liu noticed that everyone around her was staring at her without saying a word, making her situation extremely awkward.

"No matter what, he's still the biological father of those two children, and that will never change. So I'm saying, if Liu Xiaozhuang comes over, please give him a friendly look. It was wrong of you to get married behind our backs in the first place!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled dismissively, "My marriage or divorce has nothing to do with your Liu family!"

"see a visitor out!"

As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she flicked her sleeves and went into her room.

Grandma Liu glanced at Su Lie beside her, who was looking at her with a terrifying gaze. She had no choice but to end the conversation. It seemed that Su Xiaoxiao no longer cared about Liu Xiaozhuang at all.

Even if Liu Xiaozhuang came in person, it would be of no use, let alone her coming to discuss this matter.

Grandma Liu sighed and, having no other choice, followed Su Lie out of Su Xiaoxiao's house.

This time, nothing came of it, and Grandma Liu still felt quite unwilling.

But even if she wanted to lose her temper, she had to consider the occasion. After all, in Su Xiaoxiao's house, if she accidentally broke a water glass, Su Xiaoxiao probably wouldn't have the money to pay for it.

Is it really possible that Su Xiaoxiao doesn't care about Liu Xiaozhuang at all? That's highly unlikely.

Before this, Su Xiaoxiao really didn't expect to encounter someone like Granny Liu who liked to make trouble.

She was annoyed and called Grandma Liu in, but it was too late.

Indeed, Liu Xiaozhuang is still a thorn in Su Xiaoxiao's side, and this is something that probably won't change anytime soon.

News came from the front lines that the military forces were in flux, but real power was still in the hands of a few people.

In truth, the emperor's sudden summons of Pei Yuan to guard the border six months ago wasn't out of trust, but rather an attempt to weaken Pei Yuan's power after his transfer. This was solely for the emperor's own selfish interests.

Pei Yuan understood perfectly, and he knew when to stop without complaining too much about the emperor.
