An Jing didn't care about Mrs. Gu's glare; she simply stood at the entrance of Aunt Liu Hua's house and called for her. Soon enough, Aunt Liu Hua hurried out.
Aunt Liu Hua did not invite them in but instead rushed to the doorway, looking around nervously before lowering her voice to ask, "What brings you here?"
Seeing Aunt Liu Hua's reluctance for their visit, An Jing's brow slightly furrowed, but still, she managed a smile and said, "Changyi and I are getting married the day after tomorrow. We just wanted to let you know."
Aunt Liu Hua immediately began to stammer, and after a long while, she whispered, "An Jing, I can't come to drink your wedding wine. The villagers are all shunning you now; they've agreed privately not to attend your wedding feast. Actually, I wanted to go; you're the girl I watched grow up, but if I were to attend, everyone would certainly ostracize my family too. I don't have your courage to face all this. I still want to hold my place in this village."
