When I really woke up, the sky was already completely dark. The room was completely silent.

The mute girl was indeed dutiful. I sat up and stretched. I put the salt bag aside and suddenly heard someone speaking outside the door.

“Is that woman inside?” A sharp voice questioned loudly.

“Open the door and let us in to take a look. Don’t worry, Wen Dian won’t blame you,” another gentle voice said.

“Do you dare to disobey my words?” The sharp voice raised a few notches.

“Don’t be angry with a mute.”

“I don’t understand. There are so many good ones, the clever ones are not needed, but the silly ones, the mute ones. Say, this Wen Dian, why did he… Sigh!”

“Auntie, don’t be angry. Wen Dian has always been kind since he was young. He only kept her because he felt pity for this girl. Wen Dian’s decision was naturally right. He has always been a person with ideas since he was young. It will save you a lot of worries!”

“You’ve always protected him since he was young. You’re not even willing to let him suffer even the slightest bit of grievance. You’re even more doting on him than I am! No! I have to see what kind of woman and Vixen he brought back! Open the door for me!”

The door banged. Someone must have kicked it from the outside.

“Auntie, Auntie, don’t be angry. Be careful of your body! Little girl, we’re just going in to say hello to the girl inside. Wen Dian won’t blame you. The old madam is Wen Dian’s mother. What’s there to be worried about? Even if Wen Dian came at this time, wouldn’t he still have to open the door and let us in?”

I could imagine the mute girl outside shaking her head desperately.

Sigh! This silly child.

I got out of bed. I felt that my energy had recovered a lot. The baby was considerate and didn’t give me any trouble at all.

Since the baby did not have any objections, I might as well join in the fun. Anyway, I would not let go of any opportunity to leave this place. If the authoritative mother Wen Dian outside could kick me out, then I would be more than happy to!

So I happily opened the door.

“Pa!” A crisp slap landed on the mute girl’s face.

The mute girl forcefully received this slap. Just as I opened the door, she lost her balance and fell towards me.

I quickly reached out to support her. She quickly stood up and looked at me in fear. Then, she blocked me behind her.

This girl… she actually treated me sincerely.

I reached out to push her to the side and said indifferently, “Does it hurt?”

The mute girl shook her head and used her eyes to indicate that the two people in front of me were very dangerous.

I looked at her red and swollen face. “You’re really stupid! Mute Girl, my guest is here to see me. It’s none of your business. You can go and do something else.”

The mute girl was stunned.

I thought for a moment. “I’m a little hungry. The steamed egg you made for lunch was very delicious. I still want to eat it. Help me make some sweet and sour pastries.”

The Mute Woman stood still.

I nudged her. “Go ahead. It’s fine. Get someone to send a pot of tea to entertain the guests.”

Then, I said to the two women who were sizing me up, “Please come in.”

The older one was undoubtedly Wen Dian’s mother. She was resplendent and elegant. It was hard to tell how old she was. One could imagine how much money she had to spend to maintain her face. She was undoubtedly a beauty. However, the evil aura around her eyes and brows ruined her beauty.

Such women were not rare. For example, the first lady of the Jing family, Xiao Zhi, and my former first aunt were all of the same types. They did not have brains, but they were lucky. They spent their days thinking about how to make the whole world bow to them, and they were arrogant as if the world was beneath their feet.
