I exhausted so much effort to save you and even helped you heal, but you won’t even tell me your name?
Who would be okay with that?
Perhaps sensing Zhang Xiaoshan’s displeasure, feeling guilty inside, or because she had already trusted Zhang Xiaoshan,
the woman hesitantly spoke after a brief moment of hesitation.
"I, I am called Shen Xinhe," she said falteringly.
"Shen Xinhe, Xinhe... That’s an interesting name," he commented.
The noblewoman divulged her name, which significantly eased Zhang Xiaoshan’s mood.
"Alright, you rest now, I’ll go prepare the medicine."
Zhang Xiaoshan left the room.
The woman named Shen Xinhe watched through the window as Zhang Xiaoshan left, biting her lip and murmuring to herself.
"No, it can’t be, Shen Xinhe, you are the successor of the Shen family, even if you’re in trouble, you absolutely must not develop feelings for a mountain man, absolutely not."
"What were you talking to her about, spending so long in the room?"
As soon as Zhang Xiaoshan stepped into the courtyard, his sister-in-law followed out from the kitchen.
Well, this was like being shadowed.
Being upright, Zhang Xiaoshan did not fear his own shadow skewing and said,
"Just talked about the illness, and oh, she also told me her name."
"Shen Xinhe, the name really is quite interesting."
"You’re saying her name is Shen Xinhe?"
When she heard this name, Yu Xiuxiu’s face suddenly changed dramatically, as if she had encountered something extremely surprising.
"Yes, that’s right, what’s the matter?" Zhang Xiaoshan was utterly confused.
"Shen Xinhe, the Pearl of Tianhai... it’s actually her," Yu Xiuxiu murmured, looking astonished.
"What Pearl of Tianhai, sister-in-law, what are you even talking about, do you know her?" Zhang Xiaoshan scrutinized Yu Xiuxiu skeptically.
Yu Xiuxiu snapped out of it and denied emphatically.
"No, I don’t know her, I just suddenly thought of something."
"Is that so?" Zhang Xiaoshan was unconvinced.
Yu Xiuxiu continued to speak.
"Of course it is, drop it already, anyway, you shouldn’t get too involved with this woman, once her injuries are healed, send her away immediately, and then we’ll move out."
Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"
"You don’t need to ask about that, just do as I say and keep your distance from her."
"Okay, it’s time to eat."
Yu Xiuxiu went straight back to the kitchen.
Zhang Xiaoshan was incredibly frustrated.
What on earth was all this about?
However, Zhang Xiaoshan was now even more certain of one thing.
Shen Xinhe was no ordinary person, and his own sister-in-law was definitely not of common origin either.
Before Yu Xiuxiu had fallen on hard times and come to White Dragon Village, her status might have been no less than that of Shen Xinhe. Check latest chapters at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
"The Pearl of Tianhai."
Zhang Xiaoshan silently etched these four words into his heart, planning to take the opportunity to inquire further when he could.
After dinner, it got dark.
"Why don’t you sleep in the clinic?"
Just as Zhang Xiaoshan was about to return to his room, his sister-in-law blocked the door.
"Why?" Zhang Xiaoshan was genuinely aggrieved.
"Sister-in-law, I shouldn’t have lied to you before, I was wrong, but you can’t keep treating me ."
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan , Yu Xiuxiu also felt somewhat remorseful.
"Forget it, I’ll tell you the truth, I’m not angry with you anymore, from now on we’ll get along as we always have. I don’t want you to stay at home mainly because I don’t want you getting too close to Shen Xinhe, so as not to get yourself into trouble."
"Sister-in-law, she’s not some jinx, is it really necessary?"
"Are you, are you jealous, worried something will happen between her and me?"
"Get lost, do I look that petty to you? Besides, whatever you do with other women is your business, how can I control that?"
Yu Xiuxiu’s cheeks reddened as she rebuked Zhang Xiaoshan.
Looking at Yu Xiuxiu’s flushed face, Zhang Xiaoshan became somewhat moved.
Memories of joyful times spent with Yu Xiuxiu flooded his thoughts.
"Sister-in-law, why don’t I sleep with you tonight?"
Zhang Xiaoshan tentatively reached out and took hold of Yu Xiuxiu’s hand.
