The female storyteller was finally invited to the mansion. It happened to be spring these days, so Su Yi asked people to set up tables, chairs, and fruit plates in the small garden, and then she and the people around her enjoyed the spring and listened to the story.
She listened to a variety of stories, including stories about talented men and beautiful women, strange people and events, and supernatural things. As long as the female storyteller could make up a story, she would listen to it.
The maids and old women usually lacked interesting things to pass the time, so it was a rare occasion for them to come across something like this. They were all surprised when they heard it, sometimes exclaiming in surprise, sometimes clapping their hands in applause.
Just as the party was going on, Qing Xing came over with an ugly look on her face.
Qing Lian saw her and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? It’s rare that everyone is happy, why are you putting on such a face?”
Qing Xing glanced in the direction of Su Yi, lowered her voice, gritted her teeth, and said, “Just now the Young Lady asked me to go to the house to put up another fruit plate. When I came back, I met Shui Tao next to Yiniang Lan. Hum, she was dressed like a fairy and said that we were too noisy here, disturbing Yiniang Lan’s rest, and she was having heartache.”
Qing Lian’s face turned cold when she heard this, and she said, “It’s not noon, how can she rest?”
“I said so too. Besides, we are far away from her yard. Yiniang Ding and Yiniang Zhang are between us. How can they not feel noisy, but it just disturbs her? Isn’t it just looking for trouble? Doesn’t she think of her status? Does she really think of herself as the master?”
“Where is Shui Tao?” Qing Lian asked.
“She left after being scolded by me.”
Qing Lian sighed, “I’m afraid she won’t let it go. It’s rare to have a few days of peace and quiet.”
Qing Xing also frowned, “What should I do? Should I tell the Young Lady?”
“Wait a minute…”
Qing Lian looked at Su Yi and said, “The Young Lady is happy. Don’t spoil her mood with this.”
The two of them decided to keep it a secret for the time being, but Su Yi heard it and said to Mao Tuan with great interest in her heart.
“I didn’t expect that I would be so close to the house fight one day. I still remember the plots of the TV dramas I watched before. Next, should Yiniang Lan have a miscarriage due to her weak constitution?”
[She wasn’t even pregnant, how could she have a miscarriage? At most, she will give you some eye drops.]
“Then, the Second Master Shen will rush to settle accounts with me. Alas…” She sighed softly, stroking her face with one hand, weak and sad.
“I have been alone in an empty room for more than ten years. When I see my husband again, he comes for another woman. My life is miserable.”
Mao Tuan shook off the goose bumps on his body: [Yi Yi, can’t you be normal?]
Su Yi glanced at him and turned from a miserable heroine to a noble and cold queen, “Rebellious son, who allowed you to call your mother by her name?”
Mao Tuan: […]
Okay, okay, as long as you are happy.
Later that night, the Second Master Shen really came. He returned to the mansion recently. He would stand outside Su Yi’s courtyard for a while every day, like the infatuated husband waiting for his wife.
In the past, Su Yi was too lazy to pay attention to him. Today, she was a little curious and wanted to know how he was going to vent his anger for Yiniang Lan, so she met him.
The Second Master Shen was overjoyed. He hurriedly took a few steps closer, looking at her infatuatedly, “Yi Yi, you are finally willing to see me.”
“What do you want to see me for?” Su Yi asked.
“I just want to see you. If I can see you are well, I will be satisfied.”
Su Yi rolled her eyes secretly.
Was this guy particularly sour, or were all ancient people like this? Even a love word was so clumsy, making people feel uncomfortable and unable to listen.
She patiently spoke for a few words, but she found that the other party did not mention Yiniang Lan. She was not very impatient, so she simply asked directly.
“I was listening to a story in the garden this afternoon. The maidservant next to Yiniang Lan came over and said that we were too noisy and made your beloved baby feel heartache. How is she?”
The Second Master Shen hurriedly said: “I will immediately tell those people that no one is allowed to disturb you in the future. Yi Yi, she is not—”
“That’s it?” Su Yi interrupted him.
What about her miserable part?
The Second Master Shen quickly said, “I’ll ask someone to bring her here and ask her to apologize to you.”
Su Yi waved her hand. Suddenly, she felt extremely bored. The long-awaited drama of the house fight ended before it even started.
“I’m tired.”
“Then… You should rest early.” The Second Master Shen looked at her reluctantly.

Meow meow On TPH Chapter 26.1
His lovelorn act would be more convincing if he persisted to coax the ori-SY all this years after he slept with the maid and be a responsible father for his daughter and responsible husband for the maid, instead of adding those two three concubines and let them (and their children) ran rampant in his home.
That once he slept with the maid, he’s under influence. He’s not fully aware to give consent. So, some conservative people might tolerate it and forgive his unfaithfulness. If his wife was generous and magnanimous, she wouldn’t mind taking care of the maid and their child out of that event, as it’s more about being responsible than emotional entanglement. But, he’s fully sober and willing when he took those concubines and favor (spoiled) them. So, he doesn’t get my sympathy now.
Moreover, there’s ori-SY no more. There’s only our SY now and she only want her wolf. 🙊
