"No? Does sister-in-law mean that you don't want my brother to accompany you tomorrow, or you don't mind at all that he's leaving for his duty?"
How can anyone answer that! Both answers would be damaging!
"Neither!" Zhu Yan gave Xiao'er a stern look.
Being glared at wasn't really a big deal for Xiao'er; hadn't Shangguan Xuanyi glared at her countless times? Undeterred, she continued, "Neither? Then what is it?"
"Stop teasing your sister-in-law so much!" Jingrui worried that Xiao'er's relentless probing wouldn't cease until she shocked everyone, quickly stepped in to intervene.
"As expected, once a man marries a wife, he forgets his mother... No, in this case, he forgets his sister! Favoritism!"
Jingrui: "..."
Zhu Yan, teased like this by Xiao'er, felt all her melancholy vanish. But Zhu Yan was no pushover either! As a well-seasoned woman of the martial arts world who'd helped her father manage his business for many years, she'd grown a thick skin.
