Rebirth: Contract Husband Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 437 - 224: Complaints

Liu Ya was just about to let the two of them sit and rest, but who knew Mrs. Li’s mouth seemingly knew no bounds. Clinging to Liu Ya and sighing, she began to complain incessantly about the family affairs. Liu Ya listened until she became thoroughly fed up, yet it was not proper for her to leave, so she could only respond perfunctorily. However, Mrs. Li became even more animated as she spoke, causing Liu Ya immense suffering.

"Miss Sang Wan is back!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Finally, a crisp long call from the maid at the door was heard, followed by a flurry of rapid footsteps and the rustling of dresses.

"Miss Wan is back! Miss Wan!" Mrs. Li’s eyes lit up, and she rose to dash out.

"Second Madame!" Liu Ya quickly grabbed her, coming up with a quick-witted response: "You are an elder, you should wait for Miss Sang Wan to come and pay her respects. Going out like this, others will laugh at you for not understanding the rules!"

Mrs. Li thought about it and coughed twice, putting on an act as she sat back down, then urged Liu Ya, "Hurry and call Miss Wan in!"

"Yes, I’m going right now! Second Madame, please wait here, don’t go out. Miss Sang Wan, having just returned from a visit, still needs to change her clothes and wash her face before she can meet you! Please be patient!" After saying this, Liu Ya drew back the curtain and left.

Upon her return, Miss Sang Wan was quietly informed by the maid that the second wife and third young miss from her natal family had arrived. Her face nearly changed color in shock. After accompanying Mrs. Wang back to the main courtyard to settle down, she quickly rushed towards Ningyuan.

Seeing Liu Ya coming out as if nothing was wrong, Miss Sang Wan’s heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into her chest a little.

"Where are my second aunt and third cousin?" Miss Sang Wan hastily asked before Liu Ya could greet her.

Supporting her with a smile, Liu Ya said, "Please go freshen up and change your clothes first, Miss Sang Wan. The second Madame and third young miss are waiting comfortably in the warm pavilion, rest assured!"

Miss Sang Wan nodded with a smile, entered the inner chamber to change clothes, and said to Liu Ya, "It’s good you didn’t go with me today; who knows what could have happened otherwise!"

"Indeed, it was fortuitous!" Liu Ya replied with a smile, shooing away the maid and helping Miss Sang Wan change her clothes alone while whispering, "It’s lucky I was here today, and thank goodness for godmother later. When I was escorting the second Madame and others here, we unexpectedly ran into the cousin halfway..."

Liu Ya briefly recounted the events, adding, "I am telling Miss Sang Wan this so that you are informed, lest the cousin pulls off something without your knowledge!"

Miss Sang Wan was both shocked and angry, her palms cooling slightly as she gritted her teeth, "That woman is utterly mad, capable of anything! Today was indeed a close call with you and godmother’s help. If my second aunt had really been led away by her, it would have been terrible!"

Miss Sang Wan couldn’t even bear to imagine what would happen after Mrs. Li was taken away by Gu Fangzi. With Mrs. Li’s heedless nature, coupled with her tactless mouth, under Gu Fangzi’s manipulative questioning, what couldn’t she find out? If she then led Mrs. Li to my mother-in-law—

Miss Sang Wan shivered slightly and said, "They can’t stay here, we must send them away early tomorrow morning!"

Liu Ya laughed and said, "Miss Sang Wan, you’ll have to think of a way! What don’t you know about our second Madame? She has come here, how could she leave easily? She told me today that she intends to enjoy seeing the world and stay for several days in the mansion!"

Miss Sang Wan’s eyes flickered as she replied, "I will think of something!"

She had finally stabilized her hard-won status and identity today, she absolutely couldn’t allow this disgraceful Mrs. Li to smear such a dark stroke over it. That couple has always been harsh to their family, showing no mercy, and now, they’re only relying on that bit of blood relation! She owed them nothing and shouldn’t have to suffer their involvement.

Miss Sang Wan swiftly changed into a green dress embroidered with grape patterns and took off her ornate, expensive jewelry. She casually rearranged her hair into a simple style and adorned it with two gemstone-embedded jade hairpins, then took Liu Ya’s hand and came out together.

She suddenly stopped, turning to Liu Ya and saying, "Godmother—"

Liu Ya gave a wry smile, "After the second Madame and the third young miss arrived, I took care of everything; godmother had other matters to attend to. I didn’t dare let them speak recklessly in front of godmother; it would be too embarrassing!"

Miss Sang Wan let out a laugh, lightly tapping Liu Ya’s forehead with her finger, "You clever girl, getting sharper by the day!"

The two of them parted the curtain and entered the warm pavilion. Just as Miss Sang Wan was about to call out "Second Aunt", she saw Mrs. Li rushing towards her like a gust of wind, tightly grabbing her hands, "Miss Wan, you’re finally back! Your second aunt has been waiting and hoping for your return!"
