Seeing that Granny Wang was pleased, Huang Ziyao smiled even more happily, completely forgetting her unpleasant past with Bai Nuo. She reached out her hand to Bai Nuo, "Sister-in-law, the ground here is uneven, be careful, let me help you!"

Bai Nuo stared at Huang Ziyao's outstretched hand, paused, and touched her nose somewhat awkwardly, "Don't you hate me?"

Huang Ziyao nodded, then shook her head, and then explained to Bai Nuo, "When my sister-in-law first married into the family, I also disliked her. I felt that even though our family's status wasn't particularly high, with my second brother's looks and family background, he should have married a girl of equal standing!"

"Like your cousin?" Bai Nuo continued Huang Ziyao's words.

Huang Ziyao was a little embarrassed, but she still nodded. "When we were little, we grew up together. We all knew that my cousin liked my second brother, and I always treated my cousin as my sister-in-law. It's a pity that my second brother didn't like my cousin."

"It's a pity that I'm one of them!" Bai Nuo thought to herself, "And then? How did they change their opinion of me?"

"Because you helped my mother!" Huang Ziyao said to Bai Nuo. "My mother said that if it weren't for you, my brother probably wouldn't be alive, and she would have been beaten to death by my father!"

So that's how it is! Bai Nuo nodded without saying anything.

Seeing that Bai Nuo was silent, Huang Ziyao thought she had said something wrong, so she said again, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I was ignorant before. My mother said that if I ever see you again, I should apologize to you!"

"Alright!" Bai Nuo didn't want to say such sentimental things. She didn't expect Zheng Pei to say these things. She thought Zheng Pei would always have a haughty face and fight them to the death no matter where they went. "Time is almost up, let's go!" Bai Nuo took Mudan's hand and walked quickly forward.

Seeing that Bai Nuo left in a hurry without accepting her apology, Huang Ziyao didn't mind. She smiled and quickly followed after her.

"Cousin is right there!" Huang Ziyao spotted Zheng Qing'er's maid from afar, pointed excitedly, and shouted, "Cousin, I've brought my sister-in-law here!"

Hearing Huang Ziyao's voice, Zheng Qing'er's maid Hongxing turned around and glanced at them before turning back to Zheng Qing'er and reporting, "Miss, they've arrived!"

Zheng Qing'er, who was squatting down picking fruit, stood up after hearing Hongxing's words. She clapped her hands, looked up into the distance, and for some reason, a cold smile appeared on her lips. "They really came. Just like Mother said, Bai Nuo is very kind-hearted." What a pity, kindness is the most useless thing in the world.

Soon, Bai Nuo will die here, and Second Master will be hers.

Second Master likes children, so she'll give him lots and lots of them.

However, Huang Ziyao was too far away to hear Zheng Qing'er's words or see the cold smile on Zheng Qing'er's face.

Bai Nuo and her group quickly arrived in front of Zheng Qing'er. When they were still five steps away from Zheng Qing'er, Zheng Qing'er came forward and curtsied to Bai Nuo, saying, "Sister-in-law, you've arrived?"

Looking at Zheng Qing'er's face and her demeanor, and remembering what Huang Ziyao had said and what she knew about Zheng Qing'er's feelings for her husband, Bai Nuo couldn't muster any enthusiasm for her. She could only give a lukewarm "hmm" and ask, "Ziyao said you have something to say to me?"

“That’s right!” Zheng Qing’er said with a smile. “In the past, Qing’er was young and made many mistakes, offending my sister-in-law. Now I regret it very much. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to my sister-in-law, but I have never had the chance to meet her. Today, thanks to the princess’s invitation, I was able to meet my sister-in-law. So I asked my sister-in-law to come and apologize to her in person. Sister-in-law, Qing’er was wrong before. Please forgive Qing’er.”

Huang Ziyao also looked at Bai Nuo expectantly.

Bai Nuo smiled lightly and said generously, "It's alright, what's done is done!"

Zheng Qing'er offended her, and she had already dealt with it on the spot. They weren't family, so it didn't matter whether she forgave her or not.

But Bai Nuo's words made Zheng Qing'er very excited. She walked up, grabbed Bai Nuo's arm, and said happily, "It's so good that my sister-in-law can forgive me. From now on, I can do anything with peace of mind."

Huang Ziyao was deeply moved by Zheng Qing'er's words and smiled as she stepped between the two, saying, "Cousin, I've invited your sister-in-law here. Shouldn't you be heading back now? There's not much time left!"

“Alright!” Zheng Qing’er nodded and said readily, “I’ve explained everything, and my sister-in-law has forgiven me, so of course we have to go back!” As she spoke, Zheng Qing’er stuck out her tongue shyly, looking very charming, “However, I picked a bit too much fruit. Could you please ask the nanny next to my sister-in-law to help me take it back? Hongxing is alone, so I’m afraid she can’t go back!”

Huang Ziyao complained, "Cousin, you too! I told you we didn't need so many, but you still picked so many."

Zheng Qing'er was quite embarrassed. "To be honest, my dancing isn't as good as Princess Lingyu's, so I wanted to work harder on it. After all, they probably don't have as many as me!" Zheng Qing'er looked at Bai Nuo. "Sister-in-law, you won't blame me, will you? After all, you're the one who offered the prize!"

"No!" Bai Nuo shook her head. "The reason I made the appearance is because you young girls are very pretty. Wearing Duobaoge jewelry will make you even more charming. Duobaoge jewelry looks better on you than on us. It's also a way of promoting us."

"That's wonderful!" Zheng Qing'er clapped her hands, then instructed Hongxing, "Hongxing, there are still some fruits over there. Pick them all, and then we'll go back, okay? Miss Mudan, could you please do me a favor?"
