Bab 61: Rumors

Shen Yijia chatted with An Xiu'er until Madam Li returned.

She returned earlier than Shen Yijia had expected.

Seeing that Madam Li's basket was empty, Shen Yijia was quite curious. Because the vegetables at home had just been planted, Madam Li would bring Brother Hao and Sister Huan up the mountain every day to dig up some wild vegetables for some variety in their meals. This was the first time she had returned empty-handed.

"Xiu'er is here?" Seeing that there were guests at home, Madam Li paused.

Only then did Shen Yijia realize that Brother Hao and Sister Huan were both angry.

"My mother asked me to send over the embroidery thread that Madam Li wanted." Perhaps realizing that the atmosphere was off, An Xiu'er didn't stay any longer. After explaining the embroidery patterns to Madam Li, she bade farewell and left.

"Sister-in-law…" As soon as An Xiu'er left, Sister Huan threw herself into Shen Yijia's arms and sobbed pitifully.
