Gu Fangzi studied Shi Lian with both eyes, and then said to Shi Yumei with a smile, "Cousin seems to be in good spirits, it looks like your rest has been quite rewarding, and your mood isn't bad either!"
Shi Yumei gave a slight smile and couldn't help but make a barbed comment, "Indeed! I thought she must have felt aggrieved and upset, so I hurried over to visit and comfort her. It turns out that third younger sister knows quite well how to take care of herself; I was worried over nothing!"
Shi Lian's face stiffened slightly, having been hurt out of the blue—how could she possibly not feel aggrieved at all? But she knew all too well that even if she felt wronged, what could she do about it? Expect her elder sister to apologize and admit fault? That was unthinkable to her! She was already very grateful for the care her elder brother and sister-in-law had shown her!
