Yan Liqing sat back just in time to catch the kind gaze Fu Mingzhu cast her way.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Aunt and Fu Mingzhu were both generous and didn't hold grudges against Mother.
All said and done, not a single thing worked out.
Mrs. Yan felt somewhat embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law, I have back pain from the carriage ride, I'll go rest first."
"Sister-in-law, go ahead. We'll send someone to invite you for dinner," Madam Fu said, tired of dealing with Mrs. Yan.
Yan Sikang and Yan Liqing followed Mrs. Yan back to the courtyard.
Mrs. Yan remarked unhappily, "Your aunt just says nice things, claiming she prepared a courtyard for us long ago. Look, I still have to share a courtyard with Liqing."
