“Isn’t that the case?” Jie’er forced herself to remain calm, defiantly glaring back, looking at his eyes without the slightest hint of retreat. It’s just a staring contest, who’s afraid?!
“You?! Forget it, suit yourself!” Ye Lüsheng averted his gaze, turning away angrily.
“What kind of person is he! Changing his face so quickly, it’s simply inexplicable!” Jie’er stuck out her tongue at Ye Lüsheng’s retreating back, making an impolite face.
- If the wife makes a mistake, it must be the husband’s fault!
- If the wife makes a mistake, it must be because the husband did something wrong first, which caused the wife to make a mistake!
- If it is the wife’s own mistake, as long as the wife does not admit it, then it is not the wife’s fault!
- If the wife does not admit her mistake, and I still say the wife is wrong, then it is my fault!

When Jie’er triumphantly announced her news and looked at the girl, the other party was directly stunned! Depressed, it seems that this thousand-year generation gap is not something that can be bridged overnight!
“Haha… Little Jie’er, you are truly a treasure!” Lu Xuyuan slowly walked in from outside, laughing without any dignity!
MD! When did this guy arrive?
Jie’er gave him a contemptuous look and said coolly, “It seems your medical skills are definitely not great, otherwise how could you be so idle every day!”
Lu Xuyuan was very hurt and looked aggrieved, saying, “How can Little Jie’er say that? I’m just concerned about you, so I specially ran over early in the morning to see you!”
“Hmph! How dare you say that! Concerned about me? Why didn’t you jump into the water to save me yesterday?” Jie’er glared at him, feeling angry just thinking about it, making her owe such a big favor to the ice mountain, which made her increasingly unhappy!

“Roll away, I don’t like pretty boys!” Jie’er said dismissively, always unforgiving to such thick-skinned guys!

“Cousin Miss?
Rumor has it that ancient people loved to play matchmaker, and this old lady must have returned for this matter, right? Hehe, looks like there’s a good show coming! Thinking this, Jie’er suddenly got excited and pulled Die’er towards the front hall.
“Miss, slow down, be careful not to fall!” Die’er was startled by being suddenly pulled along and hurriedly called out a warning.
With excitement brewing, who would care about anything else? Probably only Xu Jie’er in the world would be this thrilled about her husband possibly taking a concubine!
“Sheng’er, where’s Yue’er?” The old lady asked as soon as she saw her at the door. Jie’er quickly stepped forward, wearing a Wang Xifeng-like signature smile, and curtsied: “Mother, you’re finally back, I’ve missed Yue’er so much!”
“Yue’er, don’t be too formal, come let mother take a look. Have you been comfortable living in the Wang residence these days?” The old lady looked at Jie’er with maternal love, pulling her to sit beside her, her face full of smiles, without any hint of a domineering matriarch’s demeanor.
“Yes, Yue’er is living well. Mother, how is your health?” It seemed everyone in this Wang residence was easy to get along with, except for that ice block. She had been worried about the old lady’s return, but now it seemed those worries were unfounded.
“Hehe, good, good! With Mo’er taking care of me, mother is in excellent health!” The old lady then turned and pulled another woman over, saying, “Mo’er, come and meet your sister-in-law!”
Looking closely, the woman was breathtakingly beautiful – fair skin, delicate features, bright eyes, and elegant demeanor. What a pity for that big ice block!
“Mo’er greets sister-in-law,” she stepped forward and bowed.
“We’re family, Mo’er, no need to be so formal. You must be tired from traveling. I’ll have the maids prepare hot water for you to bathe and rest. Tell me what dishes you like, and I’ll have the kitchen prepare them. Just treat this as your home, don’t be shy!” Jie’er spoke with double meaning, deliberately glancing at the silent man sitting nearby.
“Thank you, sister-in-law,” Mo’er looked slightly surprised but quickly composed herself.
“Mother, you must be tired. Let me help you rest,” Jie’er said sweetly, turning her gaze to the slightly weary old lady.
After tidying up a few pieces of clothing, Jie’er left the inner room and caught sight of Ye Yusheng standing motionless at the door, unable to help but secretly wonder: Does this guy always have such a stiff face? Is he having facial spasms?
“Hey, don’t you ever get tired?” Finally, she couldn’t help but speak up, voicing her inner doubts.
Ye Yusheng was momentarily stunned, didn’t answer, and continued with an expressionless face: “Get ready and let’s go!”
Mò Zhú Yuan, as its name suggests, should have many bamboo trees, but from the moment Jie’er stepped through the gate, she hadn’t seen a single bamboo shadow. A simple stone path extended to the main house, with not much decoration. In short, the feeling could be summed up in two words: simple.
Jie’er finally couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked the icy back, “Hey, why are there no bamboo trees here?”
But Ye Yusheng seemed not to hear and continued walking forward. Jie’er started to get angry again, damn it, she was sure he was doing this on purpose, it was too much…
“Hey, I’m talking to you, what do you mean?” Jie’er couldn’t help but take a quick step forward, blocking his path.
“I’m not called ‘hey’—” Ye Yusheng didn’t even look at her and directly passed by.
What? Jie’er was momentarily stunned. Of course she knew he wasn’t called ‘hey’, so why say this? Wait, could he be nitpicking even about this?
Breaking into a cold sweat…
“Ye Yusheng—!” Jie’er shouted!
Finally, Ye Yusheng stopped, slightly turning around, looking quite displeased: “You should call me husband, or Yue.”
“That’s not what I meant,” Jie’er was exasperated. Was this guy unable to understand human speech?
…
Seeing him about to continue walking, Jie’er hurriedly caught up, grabbing his sleeve, “That, hus… husband, why is this place called Mò Zhú Yuan?” Damn it, to satisfy her cursed curiosity, she’d go all out. It’s just calling him husband, it’s not like she’d lose a piece of flesh!
A hint of triumphant smile flashed across Ye Yusheng’s mouth, pointing behind the main house, “If you want to know the answer, go and see for yourself!”
Jie’er looked at him puzzled, wondering what trick he was playing. She ran towards the direction he pointed with full of doubts.
Wow, what a huge bamboo forest!
It turned out Mò Zhú Yuan really did have many bamboo trees, just not visible right at the entrance, but all hidden in the backyard. She had been making assumptions, and now was tricked into calling him husband. Ugh, ugh, ugh… she was going to die of embarrassment!
Jie’er briefly toured the entire courtyard. Anyway, this place full of masculine energy, apart from the bamboo forest, had nothing else to attract her. She couldn’t help but sigh: She missed the original Hán Residence so much!
This was all that damn guy’s fault. Why be so stingy? Couldn’t he add some interesting things to the garden? It was clearly a garden, but not a single flower; seemingly a river, but not even half a fish; an pavilion, but nothing but stones… stone tables, stone chairs, stone stools… everything looked hard and cold.
Who knows how long she’d have to stay in this terrible garden. She’d definitely be bored to death. Oh God, please save her!
Three, two, one…
She, the young miss, was now very unhappy, extremely unhappy, incredibly unhappy. She shouted: “Butterfly, help the prince pack his things—”
