"Young lady, when you went to the palace for a banquet with Miss Xie yesterday, besides falling into the water together with Miss Xie, did you encounter any other incidents?"

Aunt Gui was so shocked and incredulous that she walked quickly to Li Shu in a daze and asked her questions softly, subconsciously using her old address.

Li Shu shook her head and after a brief pause, she met her gaze and said, "Mammy, you might not believe me. I had a very bizarre and terrible dream last night. In the dream, Ning Jin will hate me to the core, and the two children in my belly will despise me to the core and hope that I will die sooner rather than later. So..."

At the end of her words, Li Shu's voice trembled slightly, and she was choked with sobs. So before she could finish her words, Aunt Gui's eyes reddened and she said, "How could I not believe what the young lady said! And if the young lady believed that what happened in the dream would actually happen in the future, I would believe it too!"

Li Shu smiled lightly, "Thank you, Madam. It's great to have you by my side. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to mention this to anyone."

Aunt Gui's eyes became even redder.

The young lady used to be able to talk about anything with her son-in-law!

Moreover, if it were in the past, if the young lady had such a nightmare, she would have definitely talked to her son-in-law about it, and the son-in-law would have certainly comforted the young lady, and then the young lady would have felt relieved and would never have believed that the things in the dream would come true!

But now it is...

Before this, Nanny Gui had never said a word against Xie Yu, but now she couldn't help herself and said, "Miss, I have something to ask... I don't know if I should ask it or not..."

"Ask, Mammy."

"In Miss's dream, the uncle and the future young lady and young master treated her like that. But is it related to Miss Xie?"

"Well, without her, we wouldn't have gotten that far."

"No wonder the young lady suddenly said she wanted to keep her distance. In fact, when Miss Xie first came to the capital, I didn't like her very much. It was only because she was my son-in-law's savior and was favored by the general and several young masters that I had to be nice to her."

"..."

Li Shu raised the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly.

Not only Aunt Gui, she also disliked Xie Yu at the beginning.

Because when they first met, Ning Jin was carrying Xie Yu down from the horse, and Xie Yu hugged Ning Jin's neck, so intimately as if they were a couple and she was an outsider.

But later, every time they met, Xie Yu told her how much she missed her while Ning Jin was away.

Every time she and Ning Jin had a quarrel, Xie Yu would rush to lobby for her and stand on the same side with her to accuse Ning Jin of wrongdoing.

Ning Jin and her father and brother repeatedly told her how badly Xie Yu was injured after saving Ning Jin, how miserable her background was, and how talented she was. They asked her to treat Xie Yu as her own sister and be as nice to her as possible.

Then, she unknowingly changed her opinion of Xie Yu, and for a time she really regarded Xie Yu, who looked somewhat like her, as her own sister. She bought countless clothes for Xie Yu, and took Xie Yu to banquets whenever she had the chance, expanding her network as Xie Yu had very few acquaintances after arriving in Beijing.

Although her feelings towards Xie Yu fluctuated as they quarreled more frequently, she never bore any grudge against Xie Yu for saving Ning Jin's life, and naturally she never told anyone about the intimacy between Xie Yu and Ning Jin that went beyond the ordinary friendship or sibling relationship.

Even when someone who felt that the relationship between Ning Jin and Xie Yu was too ambiguous came to her to sound her out, she would still speak up for Xie Yu...

Although there was a factor that Ning Jin had never said that he was interested in Xie Yu, and Xie Yu had not expressed her intention to marry Ning Jin as a wife or concubine, she was indeed a little naive.

No wonder he ended up with such a miserable ending!

Given the level of trust and dependence she had on her father, brother, and Ning Jin, if she had not witnessed her miserable life in her dream as a bystander, she would never have made the decision to divorce Ning Jin and abort her unborn child!

After thinking about it, Li Shu sighed deeply.

During this time, Aunt Gui kept looking at her with red eyes and full of heartache.

Then Nanny Gui suddenly remembered that most of the things in the master bedroom of Tongxin Garden, where Xie Yu was living now, were from Li Shu's dowry.

And just like the makeup box, not only are they made of the best materials, they are also made by famous artists.

Then he asked, "Since you have decided to divorce your husband, do you still want the things in Tongxin Garden?"

"Xie Yu has used it, so I naturally won't take it anymore. But I can't let her and the people from Dingbei Marquis' Mansion get it for free. I will ask for it back later and sell it in the shop."

"Miss, you are wise! Then...are you still going to continue giving the bird's nests that you give to the princess and the other ladies in the Marquis' Mansion every day?"

"Let's cut it off from tomorrow. After all, my money didn't come from the wind."

"Yes! I'll pass it on right away!"

Nanny Gui was about to turn around and leave when she caught a glimpse of the packets of medicine. "This medicine...should I prepare it right away?" she asked.

Li Shu was silent for a few moments before nodding, "Mammy, please help me endure it yourself. I don't trust anyone else."

"it is good……"

Aunt Gui choked up as she picked up the packets of medicine. When she reached the door, she took a few deep breaths, suppressed her emotions, and then opened the door and went out.

In order to prevent herself from thinking about the plot in her dream again and again, Li Shu picked up a medical book that she had not finished reading and started reading it after Nanny Gui left.

But after a while, Qinghong pushed the door open and came in.

"Madam! Miss Xie is here again!"

"..."

Li Shu closed the Chinese medicine book in her hand with some impatience, "Didn't I tell you to keep your distance from her? Why don't you just send her away?"

Qinghong explained hurriedly, "When Miss Xie came, I was pruning branches near the courtyard gate, so I went to open the door. When I saw her, I told her that Madam was not feeling well and was resting, and asked her to come another day. But she started crying and said that Madam must have misunderstood her, which is why she said to keep her distance. She had to come in and explain to Madam in person no matter what. She also said that if Madam didn't see her, she would not leave today and would wait outside the whole day!"

"Tsk!"

Li Shu felt even more upset.

Without asking, she could guess that Xie Yu came while Ning Jin was away.

Otherwise, Ning Jin would definitely come with Xie Yu.

But Ning Jin will definitely catch up with us later.

Maybe he'd even take his anger out on her gate or the people in her yard...

Thinking of this, Li Shu curled the corners of her mouth.

Then, under Qinghong's puzzled gaze, he said, "Go and bolt the gate, and then give orders not to open it for anyone who comes!"

She just needed an excuse to bring the maid that Lin Yuan found for her into the mansion, and Xie Yu came to her. What a thoughtful and lovely person she really is!
