She had slept until the early morning.
Shi Mei heard Shi Lingyan taking a shower early in the morning.
Aunt Chen came in to help her wash up, combing her hair while teaching her some life skills.
Such as not littering and small tricks for speaking respectfully—things one would teach a child.
Even though they were trivial, Shi Mei still obediently took them all in.
Just as she had changed clothes, Shi Lingyan walked out of the bathroom.
Shi Mei grinned and called out sweetly, "Hubby!"
Shi Lingyan seemed not to have heard her, walking away without a second glance.
Shi Mei ran after him, trailing behind him like an annoying little tag-along out the door.
Aunt Chen was somewhat relieved, murmuring to herself, "It seems they get along quite well."
At least the young master doesn't seem to dislike the young mistress as much as he did at the start.
But as for Old Mrs. Shi...
Thinking of Old Mrs. Shi who would be returning to the country in a few days made Aunt Chen worry.
