Seeing her looking at him, the child picked up stones on the ground and wanted to throw them at her again.
Chen Jie hurriedly stood in front of Du Yaoyao and said coldly to Ruan:
“Yaoyao was drunk and behaved badly that day. If your family has no intention of clarifying and reconciling, I will take my wife back!”
"Song Lin!" Ruan shouted at the child, who started to cry loudly out of fear. Ruan reprimanded the maidservant beside her, "Hurry up and take Lin'er away!"
The two maids hurriedly carried Song Lin away.
Ruan walked up to Shen Jie and Du Yaoyao, bowed slightly, and said apologetically: "Children speak without restraint, please forgive me, Lord Shen, and don't take it to heart, cousin Yaoyao."
Shen Jie had a blank expression on his face and didn't give a good face. Du Yaoyao said, "It's okay." She pulled his sleeve and said, "Forget it."
In a sense, Chen Jie was protecting her face, but he was also protecting his dignity as a man.
The two are not only husband and wife in name only, they are also husband and wife in reality. How can a man have a proud face when his woman is bullied?
She wouldn't be so narcissistic that Shen Jie had begun to like her. To him, these were just insignificant matters given his status and position, and he was just fulfilling his duties as a husband.
She provided physical value, and he allowed her to use it to establish her authority.
This little episode was resolved while Du Yaoyao and Shen Jie sat in the living room over a cup of tea.
It was said that the child's wet nurse was a foul-mouthed woman who always gossiped in front of Song Lin, causing the child to misunderstand his cousin Du Yaoyao.
Chen Jie smiled without comment.
Du Yaoyao smiled reluctantly.
How could a two-year-old child dare to smash and scold visitors without anyone teaching him or the permission of adults?
Even if he had seen her before, how could Song Lin recognize her so accurately because she had changed her clothes and appearance?
The person who instigated her behind the scenes wanted to give her a warning today, but she didn't expect that Shen Jie would come with her and protect her in front of others.
This aunt was not very well-informed and underestimated Shen Jie’s magnanimity.
Ruan said that the wet nurse had been held accountable and sold, and Du Yaoyao did not want to pursue the matter too much. The original owner was at fault in this matter.
For the first time ever, Mrs. Du played the role of a good aunt in front of Shen Jie, teaching Du Yaoyao to be obedient, serve her husband well, and give birth to a child for Shen Jie as soon as possible.
Du Yaoyao ignored it with one ear and out the other, but she was distracted for a moment when she heard about the child.
Du Yaoyao was bored and wanted to leave, but suddenly she heard the maid come to report, "Madam, Madam, the prince is back!"
Swish, swish, swish, several eyes in the hall glanced at Du Yaoyao at the same time.
Du Yaoyao: “……?”
Perhaps her aunt, cousin-in-law, and Chen Jie all thought that she still had "evil intentions".
Especially Shen Ji, those eyes, sharp as a blade, just short of piercing through her heart and seeing clearly.
The original owner was a lovesick person, but Du Yaoyao was not. She was a gentleman and open-minded. She smiled generously and said, "It just so happens that I also want to personally apologize to my cousin for what happened that day."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in white clothes, as warm as the wind, stepped in from outside the door. When Du Yaoyao saw the person's face clearly, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang"!
