My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1206 - 1212 Evened Out

Qiao Duo’er squinted her eyes, "Huo Minglan acted faster than I had anticipated."

She remembered that during their last meeting, Huo Minglan hadn’t been entirely sure.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to explore the Tan Family’s attitude, nor would she have breathed a sigh of relief after finding out that the Tan Family would not intervene.

"Wang Yun, upon returning to the Niu family, had administered a drug to the Eldest Young Master of the Niu family, and the child almost didn’t survive. In her fury, she gave up forty percent of her properties."

Tan Zhenghong had told the truth, otherwise the Niu Family might have held on for a few more months. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Do you want to go see?"

Qiao Duo’er asked, knowing without needing to ask that Wang Yun was in a terrible state.

Wang Yun had always wanted to gain without working, and Niu Fuquan had always been luxuriating in his late wife’s dowry, and their child had been spoiled beyond measure. Duo’er couldn’t imagine how such a family would maintain a basic life.

Tan Zhenghong shook his head, "No need, she chose her own path, and I can’t help her forever."

"It’s good for her to experience some hardships," Qiao Duo’er said lightly.

At least she wouldn’t take it for granted that everything in the world should belong to her.

Speaking of Huo Minglan, Duo’er felt her cravings stir.

She had a taste for tartness, and there was never a lack of preserved fruits at home, but none compared to those personally made by Huo Minglan.

Thus, Qiao Duo’er immediately took Tan Zhenghong to the preserved fruit shop on West Street.

This shop was purchased by Huo Minglan herself, and was also her most valued property, so unsurprisingly, she would be there.

Sure enough, Huo Minglan was directing her clerks to change the shop sign.

"Master Tan, Mrs. Tan, what rare visitors, please come inside and have a seat," Huo Minglan welcomed them warmly.

She had dealt with Niu Fuquan and Wang Yun without the Tan family’s interference, and just for that, she felt she should treat them especially well.

It’s easy to say "support justice not relationships," but how many can actually do it?

Huo Minglan led them to the backyard and had someone serve tea.

"I heard Mrs. Tan is expecting again, but with everything at home in chaos recently, I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you," Huo Minglan said apologetically.

"I haven’t congratulated you on regaining your freedom either; we are even," Qiao Duo’er responded.

She also took the opportunity to observe the young servant following behind Huo Minglan.

Though he wore simple attire, he couldn’t conceal the scholarly aura and elegance about him.

He appeared to be the man Huo Minglan had set her heart on.

It was said that ever since Huo Minglan married into the Niu family, he had followed her silently, and it had been three years already—truly a devoted man.

Mrs. Huo said shyly, "Madam truly has sharp eyes."

She and Wen Qing had been very discreet, sans any exchange of glances in public, and nobody in the Niu family had realized in all these years. Yet, Duo’er had noticed right away upon their meeting.

What she didn’t know was that her expression and her radiant face had already betrayed her.

"We are old acquaintances, you can just call me Duo’er."

She was fundamentally a modern person, except on special occasions, she truly disliked being addressed as ’Madam’ or ’Miss’.

"Then I shall respectfully comply; my name is Ming Lan."

In just a few words, the clerk outside had already peeked in a few times, probably due to some urgent matter. Duo’er thus directly stated the purpose of her visit.

"You’re busy, you don’t need to entertain me, just bring out your best preserved fruits."

Huo Minglan did not protest any further, "No problem, take whatever you like. I will check what’s the matter and come back as soon as possible."

Having said that, she signaled with her eyes to someone behind her to stay and attend to the guests.

She wanted to foster a good relationship with Duo’er, naturally, she could not afford to neglect her.
