"What do you know! I've also heard about what Mrs. Xiao did to Zhisu! It's only natural she wouldn't forgive Mrs. Xiao! And recently, that Ling bastard has been getting too close to some woman! Zhisu is a reasonable person; she wouldn't treat Ling that way if he hadn't done something unforgivable!"
Yao's mother was somewhat displeased, "Why is it that every time someone speaks ill of Xia Zhisu, you always speak up for her! Don't forget your own daughter's name is Yao Danni!"
"It's precisely for Danni's sake that we should treat Zhisu well! Among the four major families, she is both a young lady of the Xiao Family and the wife in the Ling Family! How many people would try to curry favor with her! Others can't even manage to do that! Think more long-term!" Yao Zhenglong lectured his wife.

Xia Zhisu was really worried about Dongye and left the house early in the morning.
No sooner had she reached the door than she saw Ling Tian'ao emerge from somewhere.
