Since that day when her niece Duan Yinyin spoke those words to Duan, Duan has always felt that Ye Qiu's public statement about not marrying any of the cousins was just a pretext to brush her off, and every time she looked at Ye Qiu, her eyes were extremely unfriendly.
Especially when Ye Qiu's good name began to spread in the capital, she felt as if she had swallowed a fly, wondering why Ye Qiu, if she didn't want to marry high, would still manage to gain such fame?
However, this good reputation was personally praised by Mr. Lv Zhu, and there were many witnesses at the Jiang Residence that day, leaving Duan with no grounds for refutation.
Yet she remained vigilant, and ironically, her two sons were quite close to Ye Qiu, especially the Fifth, Zhang Yanwei, who frequently sought out Ye Qiu for advice and always brought her new little trinkets from the capital.
