First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

272 Causing Trouble on Other’s Turf

Lu Jiao easily saw through him. She pinched his little nose and then looked up at Feng Zhi.

“What happened out there?”

Feng Zhi shook her head, “I don’t know yet. Some people are arguing out in the front. I can go check it out now.”

Lu Jiao nodded and didn’t get up herself. She was exhausted all day yesterday and had to get up in the middle of the night to go to Baohe Tang. She didn’t want to get up right now.

Feng Zhi left as ordered. Lu Jiao gestured for the other three to jump into bed.

The First, Second, and Third Born excitedly hopped on while the Fourth Born rolled around the bed. His mommy’s bed was so big! This was giant compared to the bed they had in their old home.

With a bed so big, they could all sleep together in the future!

The little ones scanned toward Lu Jiao then the Fourth Born used his baby voice to ask, “Mommy, can we sleep with you tonight?”

Lu Jiao looked down and discovered that all four of them seemed to be hopeful.

Lu Jiao knew that they used to rotate and sleep with her every other night. For them to suddenly have to stop that and sleep on their own might be a tough change. She agreed, “Sure. You can sleep with me tonight. But tomorrow night, you have to go back to sleeping in your own room. You’re big kids now and shouldn’t sleep with me all the time.”

The four little ones nodded and giggled, “Mommy, we know!” ????????????????????????d. ????????ｍ

The Second Born said, “We just want to occasionally sleep with you. We won’t do it every day.”

As the five of them chatted, Feng Zhi burst inside in a hurry, “That bad woman from next door slammed on our door this morning, claiming that we made too much noise last night and disturbed her sleep. She’s refusing to leave until we settle it with her.

“Master and Lin Dong said that she’s not technically our neighbor so she has no right to complain.”

Lu Jiao nodded. Their neighbor was technically Lady Xu, not her sister-in-law. That woman shamelessly stayed at her brother’s home and had the audacity to come over here today to ask for an explanation.

It was so obvious that she had other intentions in mind.

Lu Jiao’s face was dark. She found Lady Xu’s sister-in-law to be exasperating.

“My husband’s right for saying that. Why’s there still so much noise? The woman’s refusing to leave?”

If that were the case, then she may have to visit Lady Xu and have her promise that her family will never cause any noise to its neighbors.

Feng Zhi found it hard to explain, “The matter was basically resolved when that Zhao Hehua interfered and started to protect the master. She said neighbors should be kind to each other. This infuriated that bad woman and she cursed at Zhao Hehua and called her shameless for wanting to be a concubine so badly. She said, for a woman to run out here and protect a man was the same as jumping into a man’s bed.”

Lu Jiao’s expression was ugly now. Two women having a fight in front of her gate and putting on a show for the neighbors was not a good look.

Lu Jiao got up and cleaned herself up a little.

This fight involved women and it wasn’t right for Xie Yunjin to get involved.

The four little ones were good kids and didn’t demand to go with her. They knew that their parents didn’t like them there when things weren’t safe. They were, however, worried. Aunt Qiu stayed in the back to take care of them while Feng Zhi and Lu Jiao headed to the front.

Before they even got to the gate, they already heard curses. The words that shot out of their mouths were getting uglier and uglier.

“Chen Zhaodi, you shameless cheap b!tch! All day you seduce men and you can’t help but to follow them around. How dare you make comments about me?! You think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You are obviously -”

Before the gate, Lu Jiao coldly ordered, “Shut up.”

There, Xie Yunjin’s entire body emitted coldness as he sneered at the two shrill women.

He was a man and it wasn’t convenient for him to interfere. But these two shrews annoyed him to the extreme. He didn’t want to spare another second with them. At the same time, he couldn’t just walk away given that the fight was happening right before his doorstep.

Xie Yunjin didn’t want to talk to them and walked away to invite officer Zhao over to ask him how he raised his daughter.

Before Xie Yunjin got there, however, Lu Jiao had come out and stopped the fight.

Not far from the Xie family home, lots of neighbors pointed and gossiped.

However, because it was a gated home, it was difficult for them to make out the words.

They were sure the exchanges weren’t kind though. Lu Jiao’s expression was awful as she glared at Zhao Hehua and Chen Zhaodi.

The two women stopped cursing once Lu Jiao howled.

Lu Jiao coldly ordered, “Lin Dong, go fetch officer Zhao. I sure want to ask him how he managed to raise a daughter who goes to other’s homes in the morning and shouts curses like a hag.”

Lin Dong dashed to their neighbor’s home.

Zhao Hehua was anxious. She was so preoccupied to make an impression she forgot about her dad.

Zhao Hehua couldn’t help but shout, “Lady Lu, it wasn’t me. It was Chen Zhaodi’s fault. That woman banged on your door first. I came to help you.”

Chen Zhaodi snickered, “Who do you think you are? Why do you get to help them? You just want-”

Lu Jiao didn’t let her finish, “Chen Zhaodi, is it? If you dare to spew any more bullsh!t, I will send someone to get us a judge. To spread baseless slanders is a crime.”

Chen Zhaodi shut up right away. She tried to escape when Lu Jiao ordered Feng Zhi, “Go fetch Lady Xu.”

Feng Zhi went right away.

Chen Zhaodi wasn’t scared of Lady Xu so she didn’t react.

Zhao Hehua however, was so afraid she turned to run home.

Before she got there, she saw her father being led out by Lin Dong.

The Lin family heard the commotion this morning and knew there’s been a fight between neighbors. They had no idea it involved their Zhao Hehua.

Every day, officer Zhao would have breakfast and go to work. And every day, Zhao Hehua would sleep in. Therefore, nobody from the family expected her to be shouting at others so early in the morning. When Lin Dong told him, officer Zhao’s face dropped and he came over right away.

When Zhao Hehua saw her dad, she was scared witless. Not daring to talk to him, she snuck around him like smoke and ran into her own home.

Officer Zhao followed Lin Dong and came to the Xie family home.

It wasn’t Xie Yunjin’s first time seeing officer Zhao. They haven’t talked before though and only acknowledged each other from afar.

This time, Xie Yunjin said in a solemn tone, “Officer Zhao, I hope you can keep an eye on your daughter and stop her from getting involved in my family’s business.”

Xie Yunjin was blunt.

Across from him, officer Zhao was stunned. With a shocked gaze, he appraised Xie Yunjin.
