Jiang Xuelin knew that Fu Hanlai was doing it on purpose, deliberately trying to please her mother, and deliberately starting each conversation with "Mother-in-law," clearly indicating that he was holding a grudge from the previous night and was now deliberately seeking revenge.
But what did she say again? Could it be that she said those words last night because Fu Hanlai wanted to run away first? At that time, Fu Hanlai didn't remember that this was his mother-in-law.
“Mother-in-law, you don’t know, Lin’er, she blabla…”
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
Fu Hanlai, don't go too far, I'm telling you!
He gave Fu Han a warning look, but the man obviously didn't take it seriously. He even thought that Jiang Xuelin couldn't do anything to him, so she only dared to give him a warning look. Therefore, he returned a smug and provocative look.
—You disagree? Come on! Come on!
If you disagree, say so now. This isn't my mother-in-law, I can't teach my mother-in-law. See if you get slapped!
Do you dare to say it?
Do you dare to say it? Do you dare to say it?
Of course I wouldn't dare.
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
A petty person has gotten their way!
"Lin'er, this is not right of you..." Seeing her mother speaking to her, Jiang Xuelin immediately focused her attention and listened. Fu Hanlai was even more pleased with her appearance.
snort!
I used to let you have your way, but I won't this time. Let's see what you can do now. You've lost, haven't you?
The maidservant, who had been watching Fu Hanlai and Jiang Xuelin's confrontation in silence, felt a sense of unease.
This is definitely going to cause trouble.
I reckon things will escalate as soon as the lady leaves.
Unfortunately, they were just maids and couldn't do anything else. They didn't even know where to begin in trying to persuade them.
Lady Jing'an, of course, noticed Jiang Xuelin's expression and felt a lump in her throat.
Her daughter, oh, she doesn't even know how to write the word "bow down".
All I can do is keep talking.
Fu Hanlai listened from the side, extremely smug.
Jiang Xuelin secretly gave him a sinister look, which he immediately shouted out, "Mother-in-law, look at the way Lin'er is looking right now!"
Lady Jing'an: "..."
Looking at Jiang Xuelin's innocent face, he was immediately furious.
How come they've been married for so long and even consummated their marriage, yet they still seem like they haven't grown up? What are they going to do if this continues?
She was really worried sick.
Seeing Jiang Xuelin being suppressed by Lady Jing'an Marquis once again, Fu Hanlai almost wanted to whistle triumphantly.
—You've finally met your match!
After finally seeing off Lady Jing'an, Jiang Xuelin was given the task of copying books, and she slumped into a chair, completely exhausted.
Fu Hanlai leaned closer, fanning himself with a sly grin, "How about it, Jiang Xuelin, do you want this young master to copy some for you?"
Jiang Xuelin looked up and gave Fu Hanlai a meaningful look, then shook her head, "No need to trouble the young master. The young master should think about himself."
Fu Hanlai: smug.jpg
This prince has no task of copying books!
Your mother treats me so well, tsk tsk, she really is worthy of me!
Jiang Xuelin didn't want to pay attention to this guy, so she rested for a while in the afternoon and then went out.
Fu Han was still enjoying watching Jiang Xuelin's setback, so naturally she wanted to join in. If she waited any longer, she wouldn't feel anything anymore and it wouldn't be effective, so she had to take advantage of the moment.
After returning from her trip, Jiang Xuelin first went to Li Wenruo's place to give her the little trinkets she had brought back before returning to Qiutang Courtyard.
"...Sister Hongluo, I feel like Sister Xuelin is acting a little strange."
Honglu forced a smile and gave Li Wenruo an answer, "I guess she's worried about the controversy surrounding the tabloid's release in a couple of days. Miss Wenruo, there's no need to worry."
—Absolutely not!
Based on her understanding of their daughter, the girl's expression clearly indicated that she was planning something.
And it's a bad idea.
But it was inappropriate to say these things to Li Wenruo, so Hongluo found an excuse to dodge the question.
Li Wenruo trusted Hongluo and didn't think much of it.
"Sister Xuelin and the young master are both very good people."
“Miss, you don’t need to stay in this courtyard. The Crown Princess instructed me to take you for a walk in the garden when the weather is nice, so you can recover faster.”
This "stroll" wasn't about letting Li Wenruo go far, but rather to get some fresh air; otherwise, staying cooped up in this small courtyard all the time wouldn't do.
Jiang Xuelin gave the things to Li Wenruo and then went back. Fu Hanlai had gone back before her and was drinking water there.
Women shopping is terrifying.
He thought Jiang Xuelin had gone out for some reason today, since everything at the shop had been arranged and they were just waiting for the tabloids to be distributed, so Jiang Xuelin didn't need to go there. He didn't expect that Jiang Xuelin just went out to browse around and bought a lot of things at various shops, which dazzled Fu Hanlai. Following her all the way was exhausting for him.
If he had known, he wouldn't have gone out with Jiang Xuelin today. Maybe Jiang Xuelin was just deliberately trying to make things difficult for him!
Definitely!
He had already seen through Jiang Xuelin's sinister intentions!
But Jiang Xuelin felt that Fu Hanlai still didn't understand what she was trying to do.
The night passed peacefully. The next morning, Fu Hanlai got up early as usual and went to the training ground before Jiang Xuelin woke up. He was preparing to make up for his lack of talent with hard work and to prove that the early bird catches the worm. He believed that with enough practice, he would eventually succeed and defeat Jiang Xuelin in her most impressive spot!
But today is a little special.
It was almost time for Jiang Xuelin to arrive at the martial arts arena, but the slender figure still hadn't appeared, much to Fu Hanlai's surprise.
After finishing his practice, Fu Hanlai wiped the sweat from his forehead and went back to change his clothes. When he returned to Qiutang Courtyard, he found that Jiang Xuelin was not there.
