Novel Full Chapter 765 - Spy At Home.
After leaving the kitchen, Li Xue still kept her arms hooked with the man as they walked into the living room. Her lips were curled as she was smiling on her own. "So how was I, Mr. Beelzebub? What do you say? Did I handle the title of your wife well just now?" As she asked, she giggled lightly. Her act inside would have not been possible if the man had not worked accordingly.
Feng Shufen paused his steps, while Li Xue also stopped to turn and look at him. Her eyes, representing the compliments to her smiles.
"What? Are you not impressed?" She asked when the man just kept staring at her and didn't say anything.
Feng Shufen shook his head and gently moved his hands to pat her head. "You were good." He said and Li Xue smiled more over his compliment.
"That would not have been possible if you had not been savagely supportive to me there. By the way, why did you lie there? Since you are not comfortable with the hotpot, you should have ordered something else. Seeing you getting forced to comply with my wishes, I feel like I am just abusing you".
Feng Shufen's lips curled as he brought his hands to caress Li Xue's face and said nonchalantly, "I don't mind you abusing me or my name. Only you have got that right to do". He said and Li Xue could just purse her lips at his words.
Abuse him? What does he think of her?
She shook her head and shrugged that topic off, knowing that it would not lead anywhere. Instead, asked for something that was truly creating confusion now. "Fine, fine, Mr. Beelzebub. Don't worry, I will abuse you till my heart is content, but before that tell me something. What's about this Head Maid, Wu Jiaqi? Why do I feel like she holds some personal grudge against me? Is there something wrong that …"
She didn't complete her words when saw the expression on the man's face go dark. She waited there to hear him patiently, knowing that there was definitely something about which she was not aware of.
"That's the head maid trained and sent by the family. Since I was recruiting people, they planned someone to keep an eye on us." Feng Shufen said and Li Xue's lips curved in 'oh' shape.
"So, you mean that she is here to spy on us? And does that also mean that almost everyone in your family has already come to know about me and WeiWei?" She asked as her brows got raised at the scenarios.
The man nodded, agreeing with her words. Though not in much detail, the Feng relatives might have definitely got the air of it. Otherwise, they would have never sent someone to keep an eye on them.
Li Xue's expression also sank in thoughts as she tranced off. She was only snapped back when felt the man move his thumb pads to massage gently the back of her hand and say, "You don't have to stress too much over it. I will send her back and call someone else in place of her".
But to his words, Li Xue shook her head. "No, don't do that. Let her stay until Sister Margaret is back. At least we know her purpose of being here. The new one which will arrive next, we will not be sure of her aim. Furthermore, didn't your family relatives have prepared her to spy on us? If you send her right away without any reason, they will just say I am some kind of tantrum queen who was not able to handle a single maid and made you fire her. They will doubt my capabilities which neither you nor I want to happen. So, just let her stay."
She said and Feng Shufen caught a mischievous glint in her eyes. Though he had no problem with her playing around, he was just scared that the game wouldn't go any ugly to hurt her or the little piece in any way.

Outside the place, behind the house,
The moment Wu Jiaqi got the chance, she made the call directly to inform the Feng relatives about the things she had come across the place.
Right at the moment, her eyes showed the real cunningness and maliciousness she was holding in her heart. Her lips twitching in a disdainful expression as she reported all the things as per her own perceptions. She even spoke about all the things she has heard from the few maids who were brought from Little Carnations.
"That woman seems to have no assets except for her looks. Her family background is a complete mess. Neither does she know how to live in big houses, nor does she look like she would ever be able to learn it. She just has one skill and that's to make the Young Master give in to her words. Definitely, in no way, I could see that she would ever be a match to Ms. Zhang. The Feng relatives have thought the best to choose to support Ms. Zhang over her. As for Young Master, he will soon give up on her, given that the men never tend to like women who have far too many tantrums".
She said on and on but suddenly paused when heard footsteps from behind. Her spine stiffened as she immediately hung up the call to turn on her heels to look who was there behind.
But as she turned, her line of sight found no one. Her brows knitted together as she was about to turn back to make the call again when suddenly heard a sweet, melodic voice with some coldness laced to it.
"Mama says it's bad to complain to someone behind anyone's back. Then why are you doing so?"
It was then the Head Maid realized the person was not some adult that she was finding on her level of height, rather a little girl who was standing at a distance with a little white rabbit in her arms.
