Now that she has heard Yan Bao's thoughts and knows that this little sister wants to replace her, how could she keep her?

She's not that stupid.

Madam Shen said: "No, you live in the small courtyard outside, which is a bit far from here, but that area is where people who are taking the exams gather, and you can communicate with other candidates when you get there."

Madam Sun was dumbfounded: "Let us live in the small courtyard?"

Yan Bao almost thought he had misheard: [Hey, how come my mother suddenly got the idea and knew to arrange for people to live outside? ]

Sun Sheng was also a little surprised and seemed dissatisfied with this arrangement.

Sun Qian'er frowned slightly, and looked at Madam Shen with a little more scrutiny. She always felt that she was not as easy to control as her mother described.

Otherwise, why would they arrange for their family to stay outside?

It would be great to stay at home. The Shen family is so generous and there is room for you.

“If you don’t like the small courtyard, I can ask someone to ask if there are any vacancies at the inn. It would be nice for you to stay at the inn.” Madam Shen pretended not to see the displeasure in Sun’s eyes.

What are you unhappy about? It's you who came to me, not me who came to you.

We have arranged accommodation for you and you don’t have to pay rent. What else can you complain about?

Could it be that, as Yan Bao complained, the real purpose was not the wine, but she was attracted by his status as the wife of the Prime Minister and a second-rank county lady?

If that's the case, it depends on whether I agree or not.

Mrs. Shen knew what was going on, and it seemed that Mrs. Sun was not as sincere as they had just met.

After all, we haven't seen each other for many years, time flies, and the feelings from our early years have long been exhausted.

Helping is a favor, not helping is your duty.

Seeing that her mother was not making good progress, Sun Qian'er took Yan Bao's hand affectionately and said, "Sister Yan Bao is so cute. I like my sister so much. Aunt Chen, can I live in the mansion and play with sister Yan Bao?"

Yan Bao shook his head in clear refusal: [No, I don't want it. I don't need anyone to play with me. Don't cure me.]
