After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 32 Jiang Mianmian Meets the "Female Lead" Again

Hearing his wife's words, Shen Xiuyan's lips twitched involuntarily, and a strange expression appeared on his face, as if he wanted to both cry and laugh. Helplessly, he said:

"Hey, what's wrong? You don't actually want to be the heroine in this story, do you?"

"Hmph! You think being the protagonist is a great thing? Do you know how miserable I, the male protagonist in this picture book, will be in the future?"

His wife was "possessed," his daughter was switched at birth, and he was murdered by his own sons. His entire family was torn apart, and he ultimately died tragically in prison, his family destroyed and his life ruined...

After Shen Xiuyan finished speaking, he felt utterly speechless and thought that it would be better not to be the male lead like this.

Moreover, I felt particularly terrified. Being the protagonist is not a good thing. It would be much easier and more comfortable to be a supporting character.

A hint of guilt flashed in Li Tingxue's eyes. After all, this whole affair stemmed from her being possessed. She quickly changed the subject:

“Well, my husband, if we’re going to do a test, I think it would be better to do it when our daughter is a month old. At that time, everyone else in the family will surely come home.”

We need to remind them then that no matter what they hear their mother's voice saying, they must not say it aloud. We also need to remind them to stay calm, otherwise…

Li Tingxue continued, "By the way, we can't let our mother-in-law know that we can all hear her thoughts. What if she stops talking about it if something happens later?"

After all, nobody wants their innermost thoughts to be heard by others; it's so embarrassing!

Sigh, I wonder if only the husband and wife can hear their mother-in-law's true feelings, or if everyone else in the family can hear them?

Shen Xiuyan nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll write a letter later and have Shen Feng find someone to deliver it to my second brother."

“Sigh! He’s been away from home for too long, it’s time for him to come back!” Li Tingxue chimed in.

…………

Shen Xiujin was handling a batch of silk transactions when he received a letter from his elder brother. Looking at the letter in his hand, he hesitated, reluctant to open it. He knew it was his brother urging him to come home.

But deep down, he resisted going home. That wasn't his home at all! He couldn't possibly be with her; he simply couldn't face her.

She must not like him either, and he would feel extremely awkward if he saw her, so why should he go back and make a fool of himself?

After Shen Xiujin opened the letter, he saw that his elder brother had mentioned that his niece's one-month celebration was in a few days and that he initially did not want to go home.

But he had no choice but to go back, since he hadn't been back to see his niece since she was born, and he felt it was a bit unfair.

However, what did the eldest brother mean by the last words in his letter? What did he mean by telling him to pretend he didn't hear anything after he got home, and to be careful with his words, and not to give anything away?

Seeing this, Shen Xiujin was completely confused. What did his older brother mean? Had something happened at home? The more he read, the more confused he became.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll deal with it when the time comes!

Shen Xiujin immediately put the letter aside and continued to deal with business matters. After all, he would be returning in a few days, and some things needed to be taken care of in advance.

…………

Today is a beautiful day with gentle breezes and clear skies.

In the courtyard, Jiang Mianmian was in a good mood, leisurely drinking tea on a recliner and enjoying the comfortable feeling of the warm sunshine on her body.

Just then, a petite figure slowly walked past her. At first, Jiang Mianmian didn't pay much attention to this little girl, only glancing at her casually.

However, to her astonishment, her gaze was instantly drawn to the golden characters flashing above the little girl's head, and she was completely stunned.

In an instant, the tea she hadn't swallowed sprayed out of her mouth, splashing everywhere.

Jiang Mianmian coughed awkwardly twice, then hurriedly grabbed a handkerchief from the side and quickly wiped the tea from the corner of her mouth.

[Holy crap? "Time travel"? What's going on?]

Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.

Her face was full of astonishment. When did the Marquis's mansion become so powerful?

She never expected that after one leading lady left her side, another would come along, one after another, like the leading ladies in these legendary stories.

Jiang Mianmian looked up at the azure sky and asked, "Are you normal?"

Then, when her gaze returned to the little maid who had been hovering in front of her, she saw the golden characters clearly displayed:

The female lead in "The Cunning Second Master's Pampered, Pregnant Maid Who Ran Away!"

As she sized him up, she clicked her tongue in amazement, "Tsk tsk tsk, it seems there's more to this world than just my cheap son's frivolous book!"

As the maid was squatting down to loosen the soil around the flowers, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She instinctively turned around and saw Jiang Mianmian staring at her without moving.

Her heart tightened, and she looked back at Jiang Mianmian with suspicion, wondering: Why is the old lady always staring at me? Did I do something wrong to displease the old lady?

So she hurriedly put down her tools and, filled with doubt and trepidation, quickly walked towards Jiang Mianmian.

Upon approaching, she bowed slightly to Jiang Qu, and asked in a respectful yet somewhat puzzled tone:

"Hello, Madam. Is there something important you need me to do for you?"

Hearing the maid's words, Jiang Mianmian snapped out of her daze, quickly waved her hand, and with a slightly embarrassed smile, explained:

"Oh! It's nothing serious. I was just thinking about something and my mind wandered for a moment."

Jiang Mianmian took a sip of tea before slowly putting down her teacup. As if suddenly remembering something, she smiled and asked, "Oh! By the way, isn't your name Su Qianqian?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qianqian was first taken aback, then her eyes widened, her face filled with surprise and delight.

You should know that the Marquis's mansion was very large, and there were many maids. There were seven or eight maids who entered Songhe Courtyard with her at that time!

She had only been here for a few days and thought she was just an insignificant little maid. She never expected that the old lady would know her name!

Oh dear, the old lady's unexpected attention truly made her feel flattered!

The old lady had been staring at me for a while. Could it be that... hehe... she wanted to raise my rank and make me the head maid?
