Nianyang quickly went to the post office to pick up the urgent letter. Seeing the sender’s address was from the county, she immediately knew who it was from.
She tucked the letter into her pocket and leisurely returned to the Li Family. As she walked into the Li Family courtyard and reached the doorway, she suddenly turned around, locking eyes with Li Xinya, who was sneakily following her and suddenly froze upon being discovered.
Nianyang curled her lips into a smile, "Xinya, was it fun to secretly follow me the whole way?"
Li Xinya’s face heated up, and she immediately retorted,
"What secret following, I’m just returning to my own home. Don’t act as if you’re the mistress of this place!"
Nianyang squinted, "Spill it, you’ve been following me since I walked out the door. What scheme are you plotting in your head?"
Nianyang had already noticed that her sister-in-law had been acting very strange these past few days, constantly watching her and scheming.
Thinking about the close relationship this little girl had with Chu Huan, Nianyang felt she needed to be cautious!
Li Xinya exploded upon hearing this, "What do you mean, calling me bad? Who knows who’s really the bad one!
Speaking of which, what were you sneaking to the post office for just now? I saw you picking up a letter. Who are you secretly corresponding with? Is it some pretty boy?"
Nianyang’s face darkened, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
Li Xinya thought she had hit the mark and smugly said,
"Oh, did I expose you, making you angry out of shame? Don’t think I don’t know, pen pals are a trend now. If you’re scared of being caught messing around, you write to me, and I write to you. You’re shameless!"
"Say it again, and see if I won’t slap you!"
Li Xinya shrank back, "You dare hit me? Who do you think you are? Even my mom hasn’t hit me!"
"I’m exercising my future rights as Saozi in advance, to stop you from talking nonsense."
The sound of their argument carried into the house, and the family came out. Shang Wan asked directly, "What’s going on, what’s the noise about? Li Xinya, are you giving your Saozi a hard time? Do you believe I won’t cut your allowance!"
Li Xinya was extremely displeased, her mom sided with Gu Nianyang without knowing anything. If Gu Nianyang really married into the family, would there still be a place for her?
No, she had to stop this marriage!
Li Xinya blurted out without thinking, "Mom, Dad, I just discovered Gu Nianyang secretly corresponded with a wild man. She wanted to hit me when I caught her!"
"Say that again, and I’ll break your mouth!"
Li Tingyan walked over, exuding authority without anger.
Li Xinya feared her brother the most and immediately cowered.
The Li Family heard what Li Xinya said, and everyone looked displeased.
This troublesome child!
Shang Wan, angrily shouted, "Get inside and stop gossiping about your Saozi!"
Li Xinya glared at Nianyang and quickly went inside,
"Mom, I wasn’t talking nonsense. I just saw Gu Nianyang sneaking to the post office to get a letter while you were asleep. I glanced at the letter from afar, and it looked exactly like the ones we pass around in class with our pen pals. Gu Nianyang is being unfaithful to my brother; I’m helping clear out the Li Family’s dishonor!"
"Shut up!" Li Zhenhua roared,
"A young girl, where did you learn such nonsense? What’s this about pen pals? Did I send you to school to fill your head with frivolous nonsense? Kneel down!"
