“Cousin-in-law, I don’t want to trouble you…You’ve already helped me a lot.” Xiang Ling’er lowered her head apologetically.

Ye Muyu patted her head helplessly and said, “Child, we agreed before that you don’t have to worry about troubling me. If you have any problems that you can’t solve, just tell me. You might not want to trouble me, but at least there’ll be one more person who can help you think of a solution. Child, if something happens to you again, don’t tell me, and I’ll pretend that I don’t have a cousin-in-law like you anymore.”

“Ah Yu, don’t be angry.” Chu Heng reached out to support her. Seeing that she was angry, he looked at Ling’er and said, “Since your cousin-in-law has such intentions, you should accept it. Your mother is my aunt. If something really happens, I should help. Do you understand?”

“Cousin, Cousin-in-law, I was wrong.” Xiang Ling’er quickly grabbed Ye Muyu’s hand and apologized.

Ye Muyu sighed slightly. “You and your parents are too polite. We are family. If it was a small matter, it’s fine if you don’t tell us. But this concerns your marriage and your future. How can we tolerate it?”

“If you really feel guilty, come and help me. Didn’t we agree before?”

Xiang Ling’er nodded with red eyes. “Sister-in-law, okay. I won’t hide anything from you anymore. I was wrong.”

“Fortunately, nothing happened. You’re still so young. How are you going to live in the future?” Ye Muyu really sighed. She knew that this matter was most likely made by Chu Xingjun and Xiang Zhifu, the two elders.

“Ling’er, in the future, you have to think about protecting yourself and your family first. Don’t always listen to your parents and be afraid of troubling us.”

“Understand?”

Xiang Ling’er listened carefully. “Cousin-in-law, I won’t be so silly as to be bullied by others and not dare to resist anymore.”

“I’m really relieved that you can say that.” Ye Muyu heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s only right for you to be filial to your parents. But sometimes, your parents might not be right. You have to grow up slowly. Otherwise, how can you protect them? Don’t you think so?”

Xiang Ling’er was too obedient and filial. That was why she did not have her own opinions. Even if she did, she would choose to go along with her family’s wishes first. Usually, she did not encounter any major problems. Naturally, she did not think that there was a problem with being obedient.

It was not until today that this matter left a significant impact on her heart. She finally understood what her sister-in-law meant.

“Girl, aren’t you afraid that Landlord Wang is a wretched old man who will beat and scold you every day?” Du Heng’s lips curled into a smile, and his voice carried a faint smile. However, he deliberately said those threatening words, which had a deeper meaning.

Xiang Ling’er’s body trembled. Fear flashed in her eyes. “I’m afraid, but I don’t want anything to happen to my parents.”

“Then why didn’t you run?”

“Even if you don’t want to trouble your cousin-in-law, you can come to me.” Du Heng held a fan in his hand and patted it gently. “You can work for me. I will help you. But you didn’t even have the intention to ask for help?”

When Ye Muyu heard this, she subconsciously looked at Du Heng. Since when did Du Heng care about Ling ‘er?

A hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. However, when she saw Ling’er’s clean eyes and the doubt in them, she knew that their relationship should not be as deep as she had guessed. She did not say anything more and let the two of them develop slowly.

“Master, Madam, we’re here.” Zhang Shu’s voice rang out from outside the carriage. At the same time, the carriage stopped, and some arguments came from outside.
