Um?

Ye Yun frowned slightly as she looked at Li Xiuying who was approaching.

Has the sun risen in the west?

This person would also speak to her with a smile?

Li Xiuying stood next to Ye Yun, letting Ye Yun look her over without saying anything about leaving or offering to help Ye Yun with her laundry. She just stood there awkwardly.

His unwavering gaze left Ye Yun speechless.

She pressed the coarse cloth clothes in her hand into the water several times, making a splashing sound.

Seeing that she ignored her, Li Xiuying moved closer and secretly glanced at her stomach with a glint of shrewdness in her eyes. "Zhengzi's wife, I heard you were pregnant before. How many months pregnant are you now?"

Hearing about the child's question, Ye Yun reluctantly glanced at her again.

But she and Li Xiuying really had nothing to say to each other, especially about children. The child she never had in her previous life was killed by Li Xiuying, and the fact that she didn't retaliate against Li Xiuying was already a sign of her restraint.

Unfortunately, Li Xiuying seemed unable to read people's expressions.

"Zhengzi's wife, why aren't you saying anything?"

Li Xiuying seemed determined to exchange a few words with Ye Yun today, staring intently at Ye Yun's face. How come she hadn't noticed this young woman's beauty before?

Indeed, her mother was a famous beauty back then, and it was precisely because of her face that she married a very wealthy man!

With such a beautiful mother, Ye Yun naturally wouldn't be ugly either.

When she first came in, she was pale and thin, and her poverty overshadowed her pretty face.

Ye Yun still didn't want to talk to her and quickened her pace of washing clothes.

The coarse cloth clothes were rinsed back and forth in the water, making a splashing sound. Ye Yun struggled to lift them up, wrung them out by hand, put them in the wooden wash basin, and planned to take them home.

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from the side and abruptly snatched the basin from her arms.

"what you do?"

Ye Yun felt disgusted and glared at Li Xiuying, her brows furrowing so deeply they almost formed a "川" (river) shape.

Li Xiuying, however, began to rummage through her clothes without any hesitation, muttering as she did so, "Didn't you say you were good at making money? Why are you still wearing these shabby clothes that aren't presentable?"

"Give it back to me!"

Ye Yun was furious and snatched the wooden basin back from her arms.

Li Xiuying's face showed displeasure, but remembering her purpose, she suppressed her temper and smiled, saying, "Ye Yun, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to see how you and Zhengzi are doing outside!"

In his heart, he had already cursed Ye Yun to the core.

That little slut dared to give her attitude! Once she coaxes her son back, she'll be in big trouble!

Lee Soo-young thought she had concealed it well, but her expression had already revealed herself.

Ye Yun scoffed.

She glanced at Li Xiuying's hypocritical and nauseating face, then turned around and carried the wooden basin up the slope.

"Hey, stop right there!"

Li Xiuying was indeed anxious.

She stepped forward and grabbed Ye Yun's arm, revealing her true colors, and said aggressively, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back? I'm not going to eat you, Ye Yun. Is this how you treat your mother-in-law? If this were before, you would definitely have been beaten!"

Ye Yun's face darkened.

She didn't tolerate Li Xiuying's behavior and waved her hand away, saying, "Whose mother-in-law are you? I didn't know Qin Zheng had another mother!"

Li Xiuying choked, her neck stiff as she said, "It's fine if you don't acknowledge him, but Qin Zheng is still my son, and the one in your belly will also call me Grandma after he's born." Then, her eyes darted around as she added, "By the way, this baby is a son, right? You need to eat well and take good care of yourself so you can have a big, healthy boy. Then I'll come to the city with you and help you and Zhengzi take care of the baby!"

Ye Yun felt a chill run down her spine. "You still want to go to the city and enjoy a life of luxury?"

"That's for sure..."

Li Xiuying almost blurted it out, but then she saw Ye Yun looking at her coldly. She quickly smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I'm not enjoying myself. I'm just thinking that Zhengzi is busy on weekdays. When you give birth, there will be no one to take care of you, right? Even your own mother can't take care of you. As your mother-in-law, I'm like a second mother to you. I have to take care of you during your postpartum period, right?"

Ye Yun: "..."

Haha, really haha, she doesn't believe a single word of those things is true!

Seeing that Ye Yun remained silent, Li Xiuying assumed that she had been persuaded and seized the opportunity to say, "Zhengzi's wife, what I did before was wrong, and I know I was wrong. There is no such thing as a grudge between a mother and son that lasts overnight. Zhengzi may not care about me now, but that doesn't mean he will never care about me. You should be smart as a wife and try to win over Zhengzi and me so that he can come back to me as his mother as soon as possible."

"No, he doesn't need to come back. Just take me to the city."

After saying that, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, as if she had already followed Qin Zheng into the city and was living the good life of city dwellers.

Ye Yun couldn't help but hiss.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.

Now Ye Yun understood that this man's sudden enthusiasm for her, constantly mentioning Qin Zheng's child, was probably because he had been humiliated at Lao Guo's house!

What was that saying again?

When older generations suddenly become kind to you, it's not because they've had a change of heart, but because they know they need you!

Li Xiuying is like that.

Ye Yun shook her head, then hugged the washed clothes in her arms and prepared to leave.

"Hey, don't go..." Upon seeing this, Li Xiuying quickly followed and pulled her back.

She had finally managed to snag a chance to talk to Ye Yun secretly. She didn't dare go directly to Qin Zheng, nor did she dare let the two daughters-in-law of the Guo family see her coming to see Ye Yun. In fact, she had sneaked out while the two daughters-in-law were eating at home. Before Qin Zheng took her away, she couldn't openly break ties with the two daughters-in-law of the Guo family.
