Mother and daughter talked and laughed, forging an intimate bond. This time, Ye Xue'e's mood took a downturn.
Thinking about Lin Baozhu, whom she was not very close to, a delicate sadness filled her eyes.
"Madam Lin, Su Qingluo is lucky to have your affection. If you ever find yourself bored in the countryside, please feel free to come to the Su Clan. You are always welcome here."
Second Aunt Lin's words about Baozhu revealed her deep dislike for her.
As a woman, Li Xiu'e could sense some of the underlying tension.
Ye Xue'e's daughter had behaved improperly and failed to win the family's approval.
Noticing her low spirits, Li Xiu'e quickly changed the topic.
"Sister Xue'e, you truly spoke my mind."
Ye Xue'e's eyes brightened with gratitude. "I truly like Qingluo, so much that I wish she were my daughter."
"Qingluo likes Aunt Xue as well, and she would be happy to be your daughter."
