Flawless Plan

"It's fine. I want to do something for Sister Wu. If you need any help, just tell me."

As Xu Jiao spoke, she picked up the ladle and was about to stir it when Mrs. Tong's expression changed slightly. She went forward and quietly snatched the ladle.

"Miss Jiao, you can't do that. This is what we servants should do. You're delicate. Leave this to me."

Xu Jiao held the ladle tightly and said with a smile, "It's fine, Mrs. Tong. I just wanted to see if the medicine was ready."

Mrs. Tong also grabbed the ladle and said firmly, "That won't do. Young Master asked me to keep an eye on the pot. If I mess it up, I might harm Miss Wu!"

When Xu Jiao heard that, a trace of gloominess instantly flashed across her eyes. Her gaze landed on the pot and she gritted her teeth. When Mrs. Tong was stirring the pot, she deliberately leaned close to the edge of the boiling pot.
