"This is my wife."
Shen Ajiao looked at Lin Daiyu, who was blocking her way, and smiled slightly. This little girl was quite protective of her own. She wasn't eighteen; she was twenty-eight at heart. In her eyes, these young men around ten years old were like little brothers in fifth or sixth grade.
No, it's a handsome and cute little brother!
"Your wife? She doesn't look that old..."
Before the Akita Inu could finish speaking, it was pulled over by the big wolfhound's brother and bowed to Lin Daiyu and Shen Ajiao, saying, "Zhou Shun is young, please forgive him, Mrs. Lin."
Oh, the Akita Inu's name is Zhou Shun.
"There's nothing I can't say. From now on, we'll be classmates. Let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Ajiao. You can call me Sister Ajiao. This is my daughter. She's ten years old and her name is Lin Daiyu."
[Hehe, taking advantage of Lin Baobao so openly, why not take advantage of her?]
Lin Daiyu: I have made the promise.
In front of everyone, Shen Ajiao introduced herself and Daiyu's identities. Everyone stood up to greet each other, asked about their ages and names, and arranged their ranks.
The young wolfhound's name was Gu Yuzhi, and he was the cousin of Zhou Shun, an Akita Inu. One was eleven and the other was twelve, both older than Daiyu.
There were also two young ladies, the cold and aloof one named Cao Zhiyan, and the dignified and elegant one named Xiao Yuan'er, both eleven years old, and cousins of Zhou Shun.
The last one, calm and composed, was Gu Yuzhi's cousin. He was a man of few words and a cold demeanor. Not only did Lin Daiyu feel a chill from him, but even she, as an older sister, couldn't keep up with him!
[This guy is like an ice cube, so young, no one loves him, little brother.]
Lin Daiyu: Madam is absolutely right, it's freezing cold.
The Akita Inu leaned closer and whispered, "Sister Ajiao, Sister Lin, this is our Imperial Uncle."
Shen Ajiao's heart skipped a beat. If you count them this way, they're all relatives. So, she and Lin Daiyu are the outsiders here?
[Royal Uncle? I was classmates with the Royal Uncle! That's incredibly awesome!]
[It would scare people to death if they told me, hehe.]
[Lin Baobao, your good fortune is yet to come!]
Lin Daiyu: Let alone that he is the imperial uncle, even if he were the emperor, coldness is still coldness.
A cold gaze shot over, and Shen Ajiao shrank back.
[This person is indeed cold. Perhaps they have an emotional disorder? Or have they experienced some kind of trauma?]
Regarding his illness, I'm more inclined to believe he suffered some kind of trauma, which is why he's so cold and aloof. Poor thing, suffering inhuman abuse at such a young age. The palace truly lives up to its legend—it devours people without spitting out the bones.
Look how much trouble you've caused the child.
Don't worry, your older sister will take good care of you from now on.
For no apparent reason, Ah Jiao felt a chill run from her feet to her head. Ah~ So cold…
"Sister Ajiao, Sister Lin, the Imperial Uncle is naturally not fond of smiling."
Is she naturally averse to smiling?
Shen Ajiao: ...Goodness, Akita dogs are still more to my liking.
"Thank you so much, little brother Zhou Shun!"
"Sister Gillian...you're too kind."
Oh my god, she's so cute! Let me pet her.
"Madam, the master is still waiting for us." He pulled Shen Ajiao's gaze towards him, his eyes full of warning.
Shen Ajiao swallowed hard.
Well, there's plenty of time.
He cheerfully got up and took Lin Daiyu's leave. Even as he was leaving, Zhou Shun, the Akita Inu, blinked and asked, "Sister Ajiao, can I come visit you when I'm free?"
"No way." Lin Daiyu snorted coldly, angrily pulling Shen Ajiao away without looking back.
"Why not? What an adorable child! I love such cute kids. If I had a child this cute, I couldn't believe how lucky I would be..."
"Ouch."
Caught off guard, Shen Ajiao nearly fell. She turned to look at Lin Daiyu and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hey, hey, why is she looking at me like that? What did I do? If it's not okay, it's not okay.
Lin Daiyu took a deep breath. "If you like them, we'll send them invitations to our home."
"No, no, I don't really like it anyway, it's just the first time we've met."
"It's settled then."
Watching Lin Daiyu continue walking forward, Shen Ajiao was somewhat puzzled. She rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, and suddenly thought of something.
Is Lin Baobao jealous?
Seeing Lin Daiyu's awkward expression, Shen Ajiao became even more certain that Lin Daiyu had eaten the wrong thing. She smiled and quickly stepped forward, took Lin Daiyu's hand, and whispered, "They are all inferior to you."
Lin Daiyu is a complicated character; would she be jealous? Impossible.
She just felt sorry for her mistress. Seeing her silly mistress laughing so happily gave Lin Daiyu a headache. She thought that the people in the room were probably all formidable. It was a good thing that her mistress had poor eyesight and found it cute and amusing.
She might get eaten alive, leaving not even bones. Sigh, she'd better keep a close eye on her wife.
After visiting Madam Zhang, Madam Zhang invited Chen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu to have dinner at her residence. She also gave Lin Daiyu many gifts. If Madam Zhang hadn't cleared his throat, she probably would have continued to give them to her.
"Lin Ruhai is quite satisfied with this wife."
"You noticed too." Zhang Shaofu poured a full teapot of water into his small teapot, lay back on the bamboo chair, rocked back and forth as he drank, and complained, "I really don't know what kind of luck I have, at such an old age."
"What, are you envious?" Madam Zhang walked over, picked up a book, and slowly flipped through it.
"Envious? Ha, he's having a hard time in Yangzhou right now, I wonder if he'll even get to enjoy this good fortune." He said, taking a big, satisfied gulp.
"You've already lent him a hand, whether he could or not," Madam Zhang said with a smile.
"Alas, he is, after all, my prized disciple. How can I just stand by and watch him suffer?"
