Huanhuan woke up late again the next day, and was immersed in a bizarre dream until Xiaoyu woke her up.

Xiaoyu pushed her for a long time before waking her up. When she saw her open her eyes, the first thing she said was: "Miss, there is a dark circle around your eyes. Did your uncle beat you?"

"How is that possible!" Huanhuan gave Xiaoyu a sleepy look, looked at the sun that was already high in the sky outside the window, and blamed Xiaoyu for not calling her earlier.

Xiaoyu pouted and said, "It's not that I don't want to wake you up, it's just that I can't wake you up. Besides, my uncle told me not to wake you up before he left."

Hearing Xiaoyu mention Xu Qu, Huan Huan, who had just gotten out of bed, turned around and asked, "Where's Xu Qu?"

"You left early, delaying as many things as you did, young lady." Xiaoyu said bluntly while folding the quilt.

He sighed slowly and murmured, "The instigator is not affected at all."

Xiaoyu looked at him and asked slowly, "Miss, what do you mean?"

Huanhuan then told Xiaoyu what happened at her aunt's house last night.

Xiaoyu said indignantly: "What evil intentions does this aunt have?"

Huanhuan recalled what he heard at the Shen residence, so he linked the two things together and told Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu touched her nose and said in surprise, "Oh my God, how can you even think of that? She's a royal relative! I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I know how can you just divorce her?"

He sighed slowly and said, "Isn't it? It's really sensational! I hope what happened yesterday has nothing to do with this and I am just imagining things."

Xiaoyu handed Huanhuan a handkerchief and said, "It's not you who's imagining things. I think it's the eldest aunt who's imagining things."

Slowly taking the towel and lowering her head to wash, Xiaoyu leaned over to her and asked, "Then Miss, why are you angry with your uncle? I don't think your uncle has done anything wrong. You are wronging him like this."

While slowly lowering her head to wash, she replied in a muffled voice: "I just heard him say such straightforward love words to others, and I couldn't help but get angry."

"Oh," Xiaoyu nodded first, and then said, "But is this true? It seems that my son-in-law doesn't look like someone who can say that."

After washing up slowly, he looked at Xiaoyu with a depressed expression and said, "If it wasn't true, he wouldn't have reacted like that. This is also why I'm angry. When has he ever said such a thing to me? He has never said anything similar to it!"

Seeing that Huanhuan was getting emotional again, Xiaoyu muttered, "Although the uncle didn't say that, didn't you also say that the uncle loves you deeply and is responsible, and he is also handsome. You would be lucky to marry him, um..."

Xiaoyu's words were interrupted because Huan Huan covered her mouth.

He slowly looked outside the door, and when he was sure that no one was around, he said, "Keep your voice down. It would be so embarrassing if someone heard this!"

Xiaoyu nodded slowly and then put her hand down.

Then she slowly sat down in front of the dressing mirror in a huff, and heard Xiaoyu, who followed her, whisper in her ear: "So, Miss, don't be angry with your son-in-law."

She slowly looked at herself in the dressing mirror, her face looked pale and somewhat resentful.

She looked at him for a while, sighed deeply and said resentfully: "Yes, this is not good. Am I becoming an unreasonable jealous woman? Alas - after all, I didn't know Xu Qu from the beginning, so it is natural that he has someone else in his memories. Is there any other way besides accepting me?" It was unclear whether the last sentence was asked to Xiaoyu or to herself.

Xiaoyu couldn't answer and just said "hmm...hmm..." twice and had to concentrate on slowly bunning her hair.

She slowly lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised her eyes and said to the person in the mirror: "It doesn't matter, I will get along well with Xu Qu, so that we will have common memories in a few years. The better Xie Jin got along with him in the past, the more hurt he brought. I'm different, I will love and care for him, and that's the serious thing, right?"

Xiaoyu carefully combed Huanhuan's hair from behind and said happily, "That's right, this is my lady."

Huanhuan finally smiled in relief. Seeing Huanhuan smile, Xiaoyu also became excited and kept talking: "By the way, Miss, my son-in-law asked me to tell you before he left, to take some time to visit Miss Xiangyin."

She slowly replied, "It's time to go see Xiang Yin. I promised Master Xie Shen to help him deliver something, so we can't delay too long."

Xiaoyu made two "tsk tsk" sounds and agreed, "Yes, I heard from Yacheng that Miss Xiangyin seems to be seriously ill, and the second grandfather entrusted everything to the young master and went back to take care of Miss Xiangyin."

When Huanhuan heard this, the first thing that came to her mind was the awkward conversation between her second uncle and Manager Cao that day. Would Xu Qu be even more embarrassed because he was hard of hearing? Huanhuan couldn't help but worry about Xu Qu.

Then he began to worry about Xiang Yin again: She had been ill for so long, wasn't she supposed to be well? Why did she get worse again? What was wrong with her?

Thinking of this, she slowly snatched the hairpin from Xiaoyu's hand and started to work on it herself, while saying to Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, you are not needed here. Go to the wing room and get the candied fruits and fruits that the lady sent that day. Let's go see Xiangyin now."

Afterwards, Huanhuan and Xiaoyu moved quickly and cooperated well with each other. They went out soon and walked side by side towards their second uncle's house.

At my second uncle's house, my second uncle and second aunt were carefully persuading Xiangyin, who was lying on the bed in her room, with worried faces.

The second uncle said softly, "Xiang Yin, please eat something. Look at how thin you have become these days. How can your parents not be sad if they see you?"

Second Aunt sat beside Xiangyin's bed, holding a bowl of soup in her hand, and agreed, "Xiangyin, this is the tonic soup that your father specially took out the old mountain ginseng that he had collected for many years and asked mother to stew it herself. It took a full two hours to stew it. You should drink some."

But Xiangyin, lying on the bed, neither moved nor answered.

The second uncle was a little annoyed, but he still suppressed his emotions and advised: "Xiang Yin, is it appropriate for you to act like a child these days? Are you stupid to hurt yourself for a useless brat? Usually your parents love you so much, are you doing this to them?"

When Second Uncle said this, Second Aunt couldn't help but burst into tears. She put down her soup bowl and wiped her tears.

"I want to talk to Daddy alone." Suddenly, Xiangyin spoke softly.

The second uncle and second aunt were quite surprised. They looked at each other and said to Xiang Yin excitedly in unison: "Xiang Yin, you finally spoke!"

Second Aunt immediately took Xiangyin's hand and pulled her to sit up, then quickly picked up the soup bowl and placed a spoonful of ginseng soup at Xiangyin's lips.

Xiangyin, however, had a stern face and her lips tightly closed, showing no intention of drinking the soup at all.

Second Aunt looked at Second Uncle helplessly, and Second Uncle patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Put it down first, is it cold? Go and heat it up again."

"Okay, okay." Second Aunt understood and immediately got up and went out with the ginseng soup.

After Second Aunt gently closed the door, Second Uncle sighed and sat on the stool beside Xiangyin's bed. He looked at Xiangyin lovingly and asked, "Xiangyin, is there anything you want to say to Dad?"

Xiang Yin looked at her second uncle and thought for a while. Finally, as if she had finally made up her mind, she asked in a serious tone, "Dad has love for Mom, right?"

Second Uncle's eyes froze, as if he had been hit, and his upper body leaned back slightly. Obviously, he didn't expect Xiang Yin to ask this question. But he quickly reacted, leaned forward and stretched out his right index finger to scratch Xiang Yin's nose, and said with a smile: "Little girl, why are you asking Daddy this?"

Xiang Yin's expression did not change at all, she just insisted and asked, "Is there?"

"Of course!" Uncle Er responded without hesitation.

Hearing this, Xiangyin's eyes suddenly lit up.

The sharp-eyed Second Uncle naturally caught this tiny but obvious change, and he took the opportunity to persuade her: "Xiang Yin, parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Dad and mom are doing this for your own good..."

"Where does Daddy's love for Mom come from?" Xiang Yin sat up a little straighter and asked.

"This... Xiangyin, you must listen to what your father says..." The second uncle did not answer, but continued his persuasion.

"Answer me!" Xiang Yin interrupted her second uncle in an aggressive tone, and there was also the ferocity of a little girl in her eyes when she looked at her second uncle.

The second uncle was somewhat shocked by this look. He was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he slapped his thigh and said helplessly: "Oh, is there any need to say this? She is my wife, my family, the mother of my only precious daughter. My love for her must be natural."
