Just as we were getting sleepy and about to take a nap, a servant came to report that Director Fang and his family had come to visit.
Before I could figure out who this Director Fang was, Shen Er had already rushed out at extreme speed.
I frowned, feeling a strange sense of unease.
Director Fang had returned from the capital. He was the elder brother of Shen Er's stepmother, so he could be considered Shen Er's uncle. But since the stepmother wasn't kind, why did Shen Er care so much about this family?
When I followed Shen Er into the main hall, I clearly felt the atmosphere freeze for a moment—but it quickly returned to normal.
"So this is Xiao Er's new wife." My mother-in-law looked at me lovingly: "Come, Yuan Yuan—this is your uncle."
Before I could react, the fat Director Fang asked: "Yuan Yuan?"
"Ah," my mother-in-law took a small sip of tea, then calmly said: "Yuan with gold, not Yuan Yuan."
I was confused, so under Director Fang's amused expression, I could only reluctantly bow in greeting.
I looked at Shen Er chatting with Miss Fang nearby—I couldn't help but frown. It was the first time Shen Er had been so attentive to someone other than me.
Miss Fang poked her head out from behind him and smiled at me. Her face and eyes were both round, looking particularly smart and cute.
"Cough... Yuan Yuan..."
I almost immediately looked at Madam Shen—but she wasn't looking at me. She was looking at Miss Fang.
Miss Fang quickly ran over to listen to her aunt speak.
She... she was called Fang Yuan Yuan?
Shen Er's Yuan Yuan?
My heart skipped a beat.
I couldn't tell if it was melancholy or relief—ultimately, the stone that had been hanging in my heart finally landed at my feet.
Fang Yuan Yuan and Shen Er were quite a match—why didn't they just be together?
I had a headache. After excusing myself from Madam Shen and Director Fang, I directly left the main hall
