Shi Meiling didn't give him a chance to refute and continued to make suggestions.

"After we're done with this busy period, after the double harvest, I'll go with you to get a divorce. Let's see if Wu Pandi dares to disagree. We'll make her pay, settle all the old and new scores, and get all the money back!"

An Qingsong looked at his mother with emotion.

"Thank you, Mother! I'm so grateful for your concern!"

Shi Meiling waved her hand.

"Alright, I'm your mother. If I don't take care of you, who will?"

Shi Meiling suddenly realized that her second brother had just mentioned Yuelan.

"You went specifically to see Yuelan?"

An Qingsong was about to nod, but seeing his mother's expression, he shook his head.

Shi Meiling got angry.

"If you went, just say you went; if you didn't go, just say you didn't go. What are you trying to do by nodding and shaking your head like this?"

Seeing that his mother was angry, An Qingsong quickly explained the situation.

"I didn't specifically look for Yuelan; I just happened to run into her. We confessed our feelings to each other, and she said she couldn't forget me. I told her I liked her!"

Shi Meiling tapped An Qingsong's forehead.

"What can I say to you? How could you say such a thing? If outsiders heard this, wouldn't you have a reputation to maintain? You're really something else!"

An Qingsong explained.

“Mother, there was no one else there, just Yuelan and me. Besides, Yuelan also talked to me, saying that it wasn’t the right time and we should wait until the divorce was over!”

Shi Meiling was relieved. Luckily, they weren't both confused, otherwise their reputations would have been ruined before they even got divorced!

After returning to her room, Shi Meiling told An Tanxiao the story again and made fun of him.

"This second brother is really something, he just went straight for it, much better than you were back then!"

An Tanxiao smiled and did not argue about the braid.

"Heh, he's still far from it. At least I won't give anyone a reason to find fault with me!"

Shi Meiling pouted.

"Ha! You expressed your feelings for me so subtly back then, I wouldn't have been able to guess what you meant if I weren't so smart!"

An Tanxiao promptly changed the subject.

"Have you decided on several dishes yet?"
