The atmosphere in Sun's courtyard was tense. Those servants who could hide far away didn't know where to go. Those who couldn't hide mostly lowered their heads, cautiously staying aside, not daring to breathe loudly.

With tears still on her face, Yu's mother knelt at Sun's feet, while Sun Shaohua and Xiao Lan sat on either side of her.

"Mother, I am too embarrassed to mention what happened at home today. I didn't discipline myself and disturbed you. It's my fault." Seeing that Sun was glaring at Xiao Lan, Sun Shaohua spoke first, and looked at Yu's mother with more impatience.

"Master, you are so simple-minded that you were deceived by this woman! She instigated Fang Xiaoniang to tell He Xiaoniang a story and you believed it?" Sun didn't expect Sun Shaohua to follow her. She wanted to beat and scold Xiao Lan and let her explain to Sun Shaohua herself, but now it was not feasible.

Seeing Sun Shaohua arrive, Yu's mother was even more unsure. The old lady didn't know what was going on in the hall, but Sun Shaohua did. He had witnessed Wang Yun protecting He Shi with his own eyes. She had originally planned to give Xiao Lan a good beating before secretly letting He Shi and Wang Yun go, but now it seemed like she had only caused more trouble!

It was all Xiao Lan's fault for being so sarcastic to me just now. I impulsively came to the old lady to make the decision! I just wanted to vent my anger!

"Did Mother Yu tell you?" Sun Shaohua sneered at Mother Yu's evasive look. "Did she tell you that Chi Yu saw He and Wang Yun having a secret meeting last night? Did she tell you that when He's pregnancy was unstable and she started bleeding, it was Wang Yun who rushed over first, calling for a doctor?"

"What?" Sun looked at Mother Yu, who was kneeling beside her, in disbelief. "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Old slave...I forgot for a moment." Mother Yu finally felt guilty, and the tears on her face were gradually covered by cold sweat.

"Forgot?" This time, Sun not only sat up straight, but also jumped off the couch, pointing a finger at someone and wanting to curse. She looked up and saw Xiao Lan looking at her. She pointed her finger at Xiao Lan again and cursed sharply, "You talentless and immoral thing! You insist on stirring up trouble in our Sun family? Are you the one behind this?"

Sun Shaohua could hardly contain his anger when he saw Sun's harsh words. "Mother, what are you doing? Don't lose your dignity! Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, are you still going to be deceived by this cunning servant?"

Sun usually had to pretend and put on airs in front of Sun Shaohua, but now she felt that she had lost her composure and sighed.

"I don't understand what you young people are doing! I'm old and I don't care!" After saying that, he stopped looking at everyone and turned to go to the inner room. Yu's mother hurriedly knelt down in front of him, tears streaming down her face.

Madam Sun glanced back and said, "But...Mother Yu has served me for many years. She is unaware of the dirty business that her nephew and Madam He have gotten into. If she doesn't allow you to deal with it, I will make my own arrangements."

Mother Yu kowtowed and thanked repeatedly.

Sun Shaohua really didn't make things difficult for his mother. He didn't know whether his mother knew about it or not, but there was no rush to deal with her. They had other accounts to settle.

After all the hassle of the morning, it was lunchtime. Sun Shaohua actually wanted to eat in the main house. Xiao Lan didn't refuse. As the two of them made their way to the main house, the servants were all dumbfounded.

After lunch, Mother Xu went to prepare some medicine. Soon, the yard was filled with the unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine. Sun Shaohua frowned, and Xiao Lan quickly advised, "Master, the smell of medicine is unpleasant. You should go to the study and take a nap. If the smell seeps into your clothes, even days of incense will not be able to hide it."

"Then you should have a good rest." Sun Shaohua looked at him deeply and left.

The yard finally became quiet, and Xiao Lan leaned back on the lounge chair in the yard.

"Madam, don't catch a cold!" Mother Xu couldn't help but remind her.

"Hey, it's autumn now, but it's still hot in this room. I'll lie down for a while and then go back."

"Madam, I think the master has changed his mind about you. He looked at you with such affection just now." Mother Xu's tone was full of anticipation.

"Hmm...even drugs can drive away love." Xiao Lan muttered softly.

Mother Xu didn't hear clearly and continued, "If the master can treat you well in the future, I think we can live a good life."

"Mother Xu, I'm lucky enough to have survived. If I had died last time, would you still be able to say this?" Xiao Lan turned to look at Mother Xu who was still trying to comfort her.

"This..." Naturally, I couldn't say it.

"Now I'm just following his preferences, observing his expressions, and trying to please him like that little girl He. Look at me now, am I still the same Xiao Lan as before?"

Mother Xu shook her head. Although Xiao Lan had tried hard to please her before, she ultimately couldn't get over her own frustrations, tormenting her to the point of depression. The domineering Xiao Lan of later times was even more unlike the current one. It was just that both times had ended badly.

"So, now I'm just trying to coax him and live a good life. Sleeping on straw and tasting gall, keeping a low profile!"

Xiao Lan had just graduated from university and joined her parents' company, working under a low profile. Being humble and fawning were just common workplace tactics! She made the client happy, but in the end, she wasn't the one making the money!

"Wait until Madam Xiao comes, then tell them and let them make the decision for you?" Mother Xu felt that Madam Xiao's plan might not be very reliable. Even if she made the decision, her daughter would be like spilled water after she was married off, and how much control could she have over it?

"talk later……"

Seeing that she didn't want to elaborate, Mother Xu didn't ask any more questions. Jasmine came over, and Xiao Lan asked Mother Xu to go and rest for a while while she spoke to Jasmine alone.

"Did Doctor Wang succeed?" Xiao Lan asked.

"I heard that the patient treating Mr. He is a new face." Jasmine replied.

"It seems that Xue Wu is quite reliable." Xiao Lan muttered to himself.

Xue Wu was a person Xiao Lan accidentally remembered while reminiscing about her love-hate relationship with Sun Shaohua. In the original owner's memory, he was a childhood playmate, an honest man skilled in martial arts. He previously worked for an escort agency, but when the agency fell into decline, he became a constable. Due to his skill and righteousness, he rose to become a constable and built a band of comrades.

Back then, when the Xiao family hired the escort agency to protect them as they journeyed home to worship their ancestors, Xue Wu was still working there and had many interactions with Xiao Lan along the way. At that time, Xiao Lan was still young, and Xue Wu was also a young boy, so the two of them had been together for a few months.

Later, when Xiao Lan got married, the man was still sad for a long time. Although he knew he was not worthy of her, he still felt sad for a while. The original owner's impression of the man was so simple. However, Xiao Lan still analyzed the situation when they were together and met again later. This man had different feelings for Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan was also taking a gamble, after all, there was nothing else she could do for the time being. If the bet was right, then it would work. If it wasn't, forget it, there wasn't much evidence anyway.

That day, Madam Xu's letter delivery was just a pretext; the real person who was leaving was Jasmine. Jasmine was smarter than Madam Xu and was well-informed. She escaped through a dilapidated dog hole, found Xue Wu, and spoke to him face to face.

Jasmine came back and said that when Xue Wu heard that Xiao Lan was living a miserable life, he almost grabbed a big knife and rushed into the yard to kill her. It took Jasmine to persuade him before he could finish the rest of his words.

However, due to poor communication, it was difficult to go out, so Xiao Lan had no idea how Xue Wu got Doctor Wang later.

"Xue Wu is still unmarried." Jasmine added.

Xiao Lan knew what she meant, "Why, are you interested?"

"I mean he's deeply in love with the lady!" Jasmine curled her lips, unhappy with Xiao Lan for making fun of her. The man was big and strong, and she didn't like him.

"Every man has a white moonlight in his heart. I am his white moonlight, so naturally he will always miss me, but he may not necessarily like me." Xiao Lan said with a smile.

"What is White Moonlight?" Jasmine was puzzled.

"White Moonlight... is just the scumbag's imagination!" Xiao Lan said, went back to the house and closed the door. She also didn't like the smell of medicine in the yard.
