Xiang Ling’er brought Luo Qing Xue into the courtyard. Luo Qingxue casually asked, “Ling’ er, when did you come?”
“The day before yesterday. My house is far away, so Third Aunt asked us to stay. We will go back after the banquet today.” Xiang Ling’er basically did not hide anything. She was as pure as a piece of white paper.
Luo Qingxue’s eyes flashed with contempt. Seeing her silly look, she was relieved and continued to ask, “Do you know what kind of person Cousin-in-law is?”
“Cousin-in-law? She’s a very good person,” Xiang Ling’er immediately said with a smile.
“I’m asking if she has any special preferences.”
“No, sister-in-law is quite normal,” Xiang Ling’er said seriously.
Luo Qingxue did not get any useful information. She was a bit depressed, but she was patient and continued, “Then do you know what Cousin Heng usually does when he goes to the county?”
“Cousin Heng? I don’t know. Didn’t he just come back from the prefecture city? I guess Cousin Heng likes to go to the academy. After all, he is so good at studying.”
“Other than that, does he like to eat in restaurants? Which restaurants does he like to go to?”
Xiang Ling ‘er shook her head. “I don’t know. I’ve only just met Cousin Heng. Cousin, why don’t you ask Cousin Heng instead of me?”
Don’t mind me. I’m just asking.” Luo Qingxue quickly smiled and stopped her from going to Chu Heng.
Xiang Ling ‘er nodded. “Cousin, you can sit here. There’s only one seat left.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Ling’er.” Luo Qingxue smiled gently and politely and sat down. She did not know the people around her, but her mother, Chu Hongmei, and Second Uncle Luo Dahai were standing beside Chu Heng, holding teacups and wanting to talk to him.
Xiang Ling’er could not help but look at Luo Qingxue, seeing her sitting obediently and quietly. She did not look like a bad person.
However, if Ye Muyu did not like her, Xiang Ling’er would not like her either.
Xiang Ling’er turned around and quickly walked out of the courtyard.
Luo Qingxue chuckled, and after she left, she suddenly got up and walked around the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard.
“Ling’er, are you done sending your cousin in?” Ye Muyu asked when she saw Xiang Ling’er coming out.
“Sister-in-law, yes, cousin asked me some questions, but I didn’t say anything.” Xiang Ling’er repeated what Luo Qingxue had just said.
Ye Muyu praised her. “Ling’er, you did the right thing. Listen to me, your cousin is very cunning. Don’t believe anything she says easily, understand?”
“Cousin-in-law, I understand.”
“But, Cousin-in-law, did I say anything wrong?”
“No, you don’t know the answers anyway. You did well.” Ye Muyu smiled.
Xiang Ling’er was relieved.
Ye Muyu carefully pondered over Luo Qingxue’s words. She seemed to be asking about her preferences, but she did not insist on asking. It was obvious that this was not the main point for her.
However, she still asked about Chu Heng’s favorite places.
Perhaps this time, the other party’s target was still Chu Heng.
Ye Muyu was not worried that Chu Heng would be tricked. As long as the other party’s attention was on her and Chu Heng instead of the children, she would feel more at ease.
Next, she wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.
After that, Ye Muyu finished entertaining all the guests. It was already noon when the banquet started.
She did not wait any longer. She left Zhang Shu and the others waiting at the door before turning around and going inside.
