Xie Xiuzhu said happily: "I do want to go out and play. In two days it will be Sister Xuejun's birthday, and I am going to play."
The old lady patted her head lovingly and said, "You are indispensable everywhere."
Jiang Xuejun suddenly said, "Miss Xu, please come as well."
Wanruo was stunned. She didn't expect that she would be involved. She just wanted to be invisible.
"Miss Jiang is thoughtful, but I really don't like crowds. Besides, I have to serve the old lady herbal food, so I can't spare the time for now. I'd better not go." Wanruo declined.
After her last experience, she now just wants to stay at home peacefully and really doesn't want to be in trouble again.
Jiang Xuejun took her hand and said, "Miss Xu, are you still angry about what happened last time? It was my fault that I failed to protect you in time and almost caused you to suffer injustice. I blame myself for this and want to find an opportunity to make amends to you."
The old lady asked, "What is it?"
Xie Xiuzhu snorted coldly: "It's still that Xie Xiulin who stole things and framed others."
The old lady frowned and looked at Wanruo and said, "You haven't even mentioned a word about your granddaughter, you child."
Wan Ruo forced a smile and said, "It's just a little thing. Besides, Miss Jiang cleared my name back then. There's no need to bother you, old lady."
"Xuejun is also a sensible person. You should not stay at home all day. You are a young girl and you should go out and have some fun. Why are you following me, an old woman, around all day? Go out and have some fun in a couple of days."
Wanruo was in a dilemma: "But..."
Jiang Xuejun took her hand and smiled gently, "The old lady has spoken, Miss Xu can't not come."
Wanruo pursed her lips and agreed: "Okay."
Jiang Xuejun chatted with the old lady for a while before leaving.
After leaving the Xie family, Jiang Xuejun's eyes turned cold, and the hands in his sleeves dug into his flesh, breaking his nails.
How could he fall for such a cunning woman?
The little maid helped her get on the carriage, and then she couldn't help but say, "Young lady, this Xu Wanruo really seduced Xie Xizi with her seductiveness. It was Xie Xizi who fell in love with her, and he made a move on her before the young lady even entered the house, isn't it..."
Jiang Xuejun said coldly: "If you don't take action now, will you wait until after the wedding and when she is promoted to concubine?"
"Just a woman."
Jiang Xuejun had a gloomy face. How could she be just a woman?
Xie Xianyu treated her so badly that he took her in and brought her back to Songhe Garden without regard for etiquette and rules. More importantly, in all these years, she had never seen Xie Xianyu fall in love with any woman, and Xu Wanruo was the first one.
How could she not be jealous of such a woman?
She knew that most men had three or four wives, and she had decided to be a good wife in the future. She was not against having concubines like those, but Xu Wanruo was the only one she would not accept!

Two days later, Lin Han came out of the examination room and slept in the inn for a whole night. He finally regained his energy and wanted to see Wanruo.
He has already handed in his paper and is just waiting for the results to be announced in half a month. Before the exam, he was too anxious to think too much, but after the exam, he relaxed completely, with her on his mind.
He originally wanted to wait until the results were announced before going to see her, but he couldn't hold back any longer, so he went to Xie's house.
But when they arrived at the gate of Xie's house, they heard two maids who were leaving together talking: "Today, Miss Jiang is having a banquet, so the fifth lady is going?"
"And that cousin, she's really lucky. With her status, she can even attend such a banquet."
"Isn't it because Miss Jiang is kindhearted? Just give her a compliment. I heard the banquet will be held in the brookside courtyard. That manor is so beautiful!"
Lin Han came back to her senses only after the two maids passed by. She went out today?
In that case, he might as well go over there and wait. Maybe she would see him when she returned home and they could have a few words.
Thinking of this, Lin Han set off immediately.
