Lin’s wife stood up abruptly: “What kind of words are these? Which part of my Lin family’s nephew makes you look down on them!”
Xu Wanzhi shook his head: “My words are unpleasant. Goodbye.”
“You…” The younger cousin looked aggrieved, and tears immediately began to fall.
Lin’s wife was now gnashing her teeth. Seeing Xu Wanzhi had already turned to leave and her beloved nephew had been humiliated, she immediately turned to Qu Xiaojue and ordered: “Jue’er, such an unvirtuous husband, why haven’t you divorced him!”
Qu Xiaojue’s eyebrows jumped, and she stood up and saluted: “Father, I will handle A’wan’s matter myself. He was momentarily rude and angered you.”
You should go rest, and I will come to apologize later.”
“Jue’er!” Lin’s wife stared directly at her: “Are you not even listening to me for the sake of this man?”
“Father, he is my husband of three years.”
Qu Xiaojue sighed inexplicably, showing determination to Lin’s wife, who was startled. Then she turned to Lin Lan: “Cousin, I won’t drink the soup today. You’ve traveled far, go to my father’s courtyard and rest, and chat a bit.”
This was clearly a dismissal. Just as Lin’s wife was about to explode, Lin Lan didn’t want to embarrass himself further. He turned and held Lin’s wife’s hand: “Uncle, my father asked me to bring some fox fur, which will be perfect for winter. I almost forgot to give it to you. Since my sister-in-law is busy, we won’t disturb you.”
Lin’s wife looked at his slightly pleading expression, which was completely different from the current Xu Wan’s lack of propriety. She couldn’t help but like him more. Lovingly patting his hand, she said: “Very well. You came to see your sister-in-law and haven’t rested for a moment. You should restore your energy.”
“Yes, uncle. Sister-in-law, Blue will take his leave.”
Lin’s wife glared at her daughter again and was helped back to her courtyard by Lin Lan.
Qu Xiaojue looked at the soup on the table, coldly sinking. Qu Shan immediately came in to take it away. She called her and asked: “Where is the master?”
“The master is resting in the Lotus Pavilion.”
