After seeing Wu Yuanan off, He Yujiao returned to the backyard in a daze. At this time, a servant came to report that the second young lady of the Wan family had sent a visiting card and wanted to see her.

He Yujiao seldom interacted with the ladies in the city on weekdays, but today, as if possessed by magic, she met the second daughter of the Wan family.

As soon as she walked into the flower hall, she saw a graceful girl drinking tea with her head down. Her bright red lips painted with rouge touched the jade-white teacup, and the mark of her red lips kept flashing in her mind.

"Wan Xue greets the Madam." When the second young lady of the Wan family saw her coming, she stepped forward and bowed gracefully.

He Yujiao was in a bad mood and didn't want to deal with her, so she asked bluntly, "What do you want from me?"

Wan Xue didn't care about her cold attitude at all. She looked at her while holding the handkerchief and smiled.

"Sister is really as forthright and casual as you said. Don't worry, I will get along well with you and serve you and you well in the future."

He Yujiao felt heartbroken when she heard these words, but she pretended to be calm on the surface: "Miss Wan, I heard that your mother climbed into bed with a maid? It's really a family tradition."

"You!" Wan Xue's gentle expression instantly broke when she heard her making fun of her mother.

"How dare you! How dare you be rude to the magistrate's wife! Someone, kick this guy out!" Mother Gui was furious.

Soon, four strong women came and dragged Wan Xue to the front door. Before leaving the room, Wan Xue glared at He Yujiao angrily.

When Mother Gui saw that the evil woman who had been talking nonsense had left, she turned back, only to see that her young lady had already been lying on the table crying. After asking her several times, she finally found out the details.

After that, Li and Lin An came to visit. After Li learned about the situation, she was very worried about her and took her back home. In order to avoid suspicion, Lin An found an excuse to return to the village.

After listening to the whole story, Lin Shuyue comforted her softly, “Sister-in-law Yujiao, if you feel uncomfortable and want to cry, just cry, don’t hold it in your heart.

But what is the truth of the matter? I think you should give Brother Wu a chance to explain. Maybe the Wan family deliberately set up a trap to curry favor with Brother Wu."

"Yes, Yujiao, when Yuanan comes back later, he will definitely come to see you. Your aunt will help you ask him then." Mrs. Li also tried to comfort her.

He Yujiao spoke out her grievances, and she felt better. She sniffed and nodded, "Okay, I'll ask him when he comes back. Thank you, auntie, and thank you, Ayue."

Mother Gui and the personal maid Luyu, who were guarding outside the door, saw that the young lady's mood had improved a lot, and they were very grateful to the mother and daughter Li.

After chatting for a while, Lin Shuyue took He Yujiao back to her west wing.

There is a magnolia tree planted in the courtyard of the west wing. It is the flowering season now. The snow-white flowers are quietly blooming on the branches, and the whole courtyard is filled with fragrance.

Lin Shuyue moved a rocking chair from the house and placed it under the tree, letting He Yujiao lie down.

The spring sun was bright but not scorching. Surrounded by this light fragrance, He Yujiao's emotions slowly calmed down, she closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep...

Lu Yu was standing by, and when she saw the young lady fall asleep, she bowed silently to Lin Shuyue, her eyes full of gratitude.

Lin Shuyue shook her head, turned back to the house, took out a rocking chair from the space, moved it under the tree, lay down on the rocking chair, and fell asleep at some point.

"Jiji...Ayue, Ayue..."

Lin Shuyue was woken up, and when she opened her eyes, He Yujiao was no longer in the yard.

She looked up at the petite oriole with yellow feathers that was calling her from the magnolia tree.

"Xiaoyingying, you are here."

She held out her hand, and the oriole immediately flew down and stood in her palm.

She discovered this yellow warbler on the second day of her stay in this courtyard. It was a chatterbox and loved gossip.

"Ayue, I want to drink sweet water." Huang Ying tilted her little head, her voice clear and melodious.

After Lin Shuyue fed it some spiritual spring water, the yellow warbler shared its gossip with its clear voice.

"Ayue, there is a beautiful girl crying in the yard in front, and I heard the man next to her swearing. Ayue, why do you male humans like to swear so much?"

When Lin Shuyue heard what it said, her face turned black. Could it be that this little guy was talking about Sister Yujiao and Brother Wu?

"Little Yingying, that's my friend, you can't laugh at her." She tapped its little head with her finger.

The oriole shook its little head and flew onto her shoulder.

“Okay, let’s not talk about her, Ah Yue, let me tell you, I saw an old man hugging a beautiful sister and chewing her in the house next door this morning. The beautiful sister cried so loudly that Xiao Yingying was scared to death.”

"Ah Yue, when I was flying through the alley yesterday, I accidentally pooped on a man's head. He chased me for two miles, and I almost got roasted."

"Ayue..."

Lin Shuyue moved the recliner back amid the rattling sound and washed her face without changing her expression.

After cleaning up, she reached out and pinched its mouth, and the oriole immediately stopped making any sound and lay obediently on her shoulder.

Lin Shuyue held back her laughter and returned to the front hall.

In the front hall, He Yujiao's mood had improved a lot. When she saw Lin Shuyue come in, she greeted her with a smile. Then she saw a little bird lying on her shoulder and stared at it with curiosity.

"Ayue, Brother Wu wants to thank you very much. If it weren't for you and aunt helping Yujiao, this misunderstanding might never have been resolved." Wu Yuanan bowed to Lin Shuyue earnestly to express his gratitude.

He had no idea that there was such a big misunderstanding between him and his wife. If it weren't for his aunt and A Yue to comfort his wife, A Yue might have made herself sick.

Lin Shuyue waved her hands and asked, "Brother Wu, Sister Yujiao, have you talked it out?"

He Yujiao nodded and glanced at her husband tenderly, with no affection in her eyes.

She said softly, "Ayue, my husband explained to me that my husband was drunk that day, and when Wu Mo helped him out of the box, the second lady of the Wan family suddenly rushed out and bumped into his arms, leaving lip marks on his chest."

When Lin Shuyue heard her explanation, she thought of the second young lady of the Wan family and reminded her, "If that's the case, the second young lady of the Wan family came here today with bad intentions. She is deliberately trying to sow discord between you. You must not be careless."

If the second young lady of the Wan family keeps interfering, even the best of relationships will be worn out.

Wu Yuanan's face darkened. Thinking of what his wife had said when the second young lady of the Wan family came to their house that morning, he became more and more dissatisfied with the Wan family.

"Ayue, don't worry, I will give Yujiao an explanation about this matter."

At this time, Li came in from outside, "Yuan'an, you guys should go back after dinner. Aunt Wang has cooked a pot of ginseng chicken soup. The ginseng here is a hundred-year-old ginseng."

Wu Yuanan and his wife smiled at each other and responded readily, "Okay, we won't be polite to Auntie."

Seeing that the young couple had reconciled, Mrs. Li was happy and went to prepare dinner happily.

After dinner, Wu Yuanan and his wife sat for a while and then said goodbye.
