She guessed that even if the money couldn't be returned in the end, He Zhongzhong and Qinfu would think of a way to compensate her. Although He Zhongzhong was in charge now, the money was also earned by Dalang and others through hard work. Considering their feelings, it's normal for the sisters-in-law to have opinions. How could she let her family members hurt each other over this money? She already had enough, couldn't be greedy.

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, Xue Shi wanted to persuade again, but Cen's wife and He Zhizhong exchanged a glance, understanding each other tacitly. Finally, she sighed: "Forget it, let's do as you say."

  The peony let out a sigh of relief. If she wanted money, she could have earned it with her own two hands, now she was free, she had health, freedom, skills, and the strong backing of her loved ones, nothing was more important than these.

  Bai Shi smiled and said: "Tonight I've prepared Jade Tip noodles to celebrate with Dan Niang." Her words brought a burst of cheers from the children.

  The dumplings were made with rich bear meat and deer meat fed with fine feed, which was exceptionally delicious. The He family was wealthy, but they couldn't violate the rules in terms of housing and utensils, so they put their minds to it and worked hard on women's clothing and food. But this jade tip noodles, because the ingredients were rare and precious, cost a lot, and also didn't eat easily. So the slight discomfort before was suddenly dispersed by the deliciousness.

  "Except for our family, no one else would make delicious food to celebrate their daughter's marriage, right?"

  Bai's expression changed slightly, and he felt a little embarrassed. He Daren burst out laughing: "Today, Father told Dan Niang that today is a very auspicious day."

  He Zhizhong was also laughing, and Madam Cen laughed: "Throwing away a piece of smelly dog skin plaster, Dan Niang's illness is cured again, isn't that a great joy?" Although she said so, she still couldn't put down two things in her heart. One was afraid that Peony would relapse at some time; the other was worried about finding another family for Peony.

  Seeing everyone laughing, Bai was relieved and warmly invited Wu: "Auntie, come with me to the kitchen to see if it's ready?"

  Xue said hastily: "Auntie rest, let me and second brother and sister go together. 79 free net 79x."

  "Big sister has been busy all day outside, and when she comes home, she still has to be busy. She's exhausted, but it's not our fault, us younger sisters-in-law. Why don't you go rest with Mother and Dan Niang, and chat a bit? I'll take care of things with Aunt."

  "I'm not tired." Xue's expression was somewhat unexpected. In the past, it had always been her and Bai together, so why did Bai suddenly get close to Wu Niang? Upon careful consideration, since Sun and Yang Niang targeted herself that time, Bai and Wu Niang had been running in and out every day as mediators, their relationship became closer, and Bai didn't like coming to talk to her as much as before.

  Madam Cen glanced at the White family and Wu Niang with a faint smile, saying: "It's good that the elder generation has someone to take care of them. Your brother's wife is willing to be considerate of you and help you with things, isn't this a wonderful thing? You can rest assured and come tell me about what happened today."

  Xue smiled slightly and replied, "Yes." She really walked to the front of Mrs. Cen, took the beauty massage stick, and helped her massage her legs and feet, telling in detail about today's events. Peony and Dalang occasionally interjected a few words, while others listened with loud laughter, appearing harmonious and joyful.

  Bai's face changed slightly, and his mood suddenly became very bad. It seems that the laughter of the sisters-in-law in the house was unusually heavy.

  Peony had a small idea, wanting to ask the Yu family's jade tip noodles how many were made, and whether they would be sent over for the Li family to try when sending medicine oil to Li Yi. Today she saw that the Li family was wealthy, absolutely not poorer than the He family, and because of their work for the Ning Wangfu, they always got many palace-made things near the water tower, and there were not a few imperial gifts, so it wouldn't be a loss to eat this bowl of jade tip noodles.

  But this is always He's intention. Wanting to speak out, yet fearing the sisters-in-law would misunderstand, but if not sending it, indeed really wanting to send it.

  "Brother's wife, since we had the Li family's pickled lychees today, do we need to return the favor?"

  Xue suddenly understood, smiled slyly, and pinched her cheek. Turning to look at Mrs. Cen, she said: "My daughter-in-law just remembered that Li Manbiao's wife is also here. I recall that she loved to eat this dish the most back then. Since someone needs to deliver medicine to them, why not have someone send some yu jian mian for them to try? Who knows how much they've prepared?"

  Madam Cen glanced at the two of them and said, "Of course there's more. With so many people in our household, do you think it can be given out casually? Have someone pack two food boxes to send over. No, have Dalang deliver it himself."

  Xue Shi busied himself and went to make arrangements. When he came back, he whispered to Peony: "How will you thank me?"

  "Brother-in-law has been running around for me these days, it's indeed very tiring. In two days, I'll make a pair of shoes for brother-in-law to wear."

  Xue sighed and said, "You!" Seeing a faint blush rise to Peony's pale face, he smiled and let her off.

  In the evening, Er Lang and others who were busy outside all returned home. The whole family was happily waiting for Da Lang to return with medicine to have dinner together. However, Da Lang didn't come back until it was dark, with a gloomy face. Everyone's first reaction was that something had happened to Li Yi's eight maternal uncles.

  Mrs. Kun asked him, he just shook his head: "Two food boxes were just sent over, and one food box was snatched away. They're all fine, saying they've been wandering around the streets for a day and night, and no one bothered them."

  "What's wrong with what was said?" He Zhongqi asked. Had he run into Li Yuan, who also looked unhappy like Cui's wife?

  Dalan sneaked a glance at Peony, still shaking his head: "No, I'm just upset because of some unpleasant words with someone on the horseback. Let's eat."

  "Is it really worth getting angry over such a small thing? When did your thoughts become as fragile as a woman's? You're making a fuss over nothing!" This remark sparked a chorus of disapproval and he was immediately slapped by Peony, leaving him chuckling and covering his mouth, not daring to speak again.

  After dinner, everyone was tired and dispersed quickly, leaving only Dalang and Erlang to discuss business with He Zhizhong. Peony was very excited and wanted to chat with Mrs. Kun for a while, but Dalang glanced at her and frowned: "Dan Niang, you're not feeling well, didn't sleep well last night, and today you're out in the sun, why don't you hurry up and rest?"

  The peony didn't dare to refute him, made a face at him and ran away.

  Dalong saw her leave, walked to the door and carefully looked around, asked Feng Danni to help keep an eye on the door, then entered with a gloomy face and scolded loudly: "The Liu family is not human, they are ruining Dan Niang's reputation everywhere. In just half a day, it has already spread to our neighborhood."

  Madam Cen's face changed, she turned over and sat up, saying: "What's going on?"

  "Speaking of which, our Dan Niang's body was ruined by illness and she couldn't give birth to a child. However, she had an evil heart, stirring up trouble and causing people to dislike her. She really couldn't stay in the husband's household anymore, so she was divorced. It was clearly their family's fault, it was clearly a divorce..." Da Lang's breath caught, and he became too angry to continue speaking.

  Madam Cen and He Zhizhong were furious, this is going to ruin Peony! Sowing discord and being disliked by everyone doesn't matter, as long as Peony interacts with people more, the truth will naturally come out. But if she can't bear children, does that mean she has to go around telling people that Dan Niang and Liu Quan have never consummated their marriage? People always use the most vicious thoughts to speculate about others. If a couple doesn't consummate their marriage in the first year, who would believe it even if they said so? Even if someone did believe them, they would think it's strange. With such a beautiful and charming woman like Peony, how could she not move her husband? Is there something wrong with her? Based solely on the fact that she can't bear children, what good family would still want Peony?

  "Let's inform Dan Niang about this matter, so she won't be heartbroken when she hears it. Let's not spread the word for now and see where the rumor originated from before making any judgments."

  Madam Cen rubbed her forehead and said, "Where can we hide it? She will find out sooner or later. Rather than waiting for others to tell her and catching her off guard, making her lose her composure, it's better to tell her in advance so she has a mental preparation and won't be caught off guard. I'll go talk to Dan Niang now."

  He Zhizhong gritted his teeth and said: "Dalan, go see Li Wei again tomorrow and ask him when we should take action on the matter we discussed last time."

  Peony didn't know what was happening to herself, she was comfortably soaking in the bathtub, enjoying the meticulous service of Kuai'er and Xu'er, listening to their complaints and jokes: "The slaves were accompanying the lady at home, with a burning fire in their hearts, just hearing the drums on the street, several young ladies and gentlemen cried. Especially Huan Niang and several younger ones, their crying voices almost blew off the roof. It made Fling Fling laugh strangely, and they cried again, almost getting their tails pulled by Chun Gong. But it knew its place, knowing that you were not at home, no one was protecting it, so it just loudly shouted 'Mother save me!' The lady scolded Chun Gong again."

  "It serves it right!" The bird was getting more and more cunning with age. Peony burst out laughing, stood up to wipe off the water stains, and asked: "Is Rain Lotus asleep? Is her head still hurting?"

  Kuan Er smiled and said: "Yu He sister said she's fine, at this moment she is steaming clothes for you."

  The peony changed into clean clothes, lay down on the bed, and comfortably lay down, sighing: "Oh my, I feel like my whole body has lightened up a lot."

  Hua'er and Kuan'er exchanged a glance, smiling: "When people encounter happy events, their spirits are lifted. You must feel much more relaxed now."

  Just then, the door creaked open and Madam Xun walked in with an unpleasant expression. She coldly ordered Kuang'er and Xu'er: "You two get out!"

  Peony saw her serious expression and quickly got up to support her to sit down: "Mother, why haven't you slept yet?"

  Madam Cen sat down beside Peony, stroking her smooth hair and let out a long sigh: "Peony, have you ever thought about how you'll spend the rest of your life?"
