Chu Junlan's words were too harsh, so he didn't dare to shed tears. He burped and said, "Of course I won't sacrifice my family. I just don't want to give up and feel resentful."

Chu Junlan's expression was a little slow. What she feared most was that Chu Lingxi was young and could not break away from these things that would cause trouble for the family.

"Lingxi, you have to remember that the family is our root, our safe haven, and our protective umbrella. Look at me in the royal palace, I am not afraid even if I suffer grievances, because I know that my parents support me, and no matter how badly I have brothers and sisters to surrender. If the family is strong, no one will look up to me outside, and no one dares to bully me, but what if there is no family behind me? Do you think I am fighting alone?"

Chu Lingxi nodded: "Sister Lan, I understand."

Chu Junlan went to the basin shelf to get the handkerchief, twisted it in the brass basin and handed it to Chu Lingxi: "Since you understand, just wipe your face clean. Don't let Aunt San worry about you."

Chu Lingxi took the handkerchief and wiped her face. Tears were circling in her eyes again, but this time she tried her best to resist the tears.

"Sister Lan, but I feel so uncomfortable."

Chu Junlan smiled, sat beside Chu Lingxi, hugged her shoulder and said, "I know, but no matter how uncomfortable it is, as long as we are still alive, we still have to do what we should do, don't you?"

Chu Lingxi wiped her face clean with a wet veil and nodded: "Yes."

Chu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, took the veil that Chu Lingxi had wiped his face, went to the basin shelf, washed and hung it.

"Okay, you finally got to think about it. It seems that it's useless for me to say a hundred words like my brother. It's still your sister who tells you."

Chu Lingxi's face felt a little hot and she said unconvincedly: "How can it be the same? We both share the same sympathy. You say a thousand and ten thousand words, and we are also a communication between patients and friends. Sister Lan is a doctor and is here to treat the disease. Of course her words work!"

"You! You are so heartless." Chu Zhan pushed Chu Lingxi's forehead again.

Chu Lingxi covered her head and hid behind Chu Junlan, and the three brothers and sisters all laughed again.

Under the eaves of the corridor outside the door, the third aunt Ren, with her confidant Madam Li, covered her mouth and tears, waved her hands back to the back, and quietly returned to the main house.

As soon as he entered the door, Ren covered his mouth with a veil and started to sob. Madam Li also moistened her eyes and persuaded softly: "Madam, don't be sad. You have been worried for so many days. Fortunately, Sister Xi has been thinking about it herself. At least she won't do anything too much. You should be happy."

Aunt San nodded repeatedly: "Madam doesn't know. I found that this girl was wrong, and I knew her temperament. I didn't dare to talk to her in person, for fear that she would cause her rebellious thoughts. Instead, I didn't let her do anything. You said she was fourteen, and she was the age to discuss marriage. If she made a joke, wouldn't she be finished in the future? I was worried these days, and I didn't dare to tell my uncle about this, nor did I dare to tell my mother-in-law and sister-in-law that I would be suffocating to death!"

"I know the third lady's embarrassment. Now, Sister Xi is not an ignorant person. She is still young, so she will be fine when she grows up."

"I know, thanks to Brother Zhan and Sister Lan this time. At first I wanted Brother Zhan to persuade her well, but those who wanted to be brothers could only stabilize her. They didn't persuade her at all. Instead, Sister Lan explained it to her in a few words. Madam, have you heard what Sister Lan said just now?"

"I heard it."

"Lan Jie'er is a good child. Although she is not our biological child, she is in the same relationship with our family. Sister Xi has been spoiled by me since childhood. Instead, it is better for Sister Lan, who has experienced the ups and downs. Fortunately, Sister Xi'er has not become bad in essence."

"Yes, when Xi Jie'er is at this age, when she is confused, there is a layer of fog in front of her. When someone helps her to straighten her mind, she will naturally know what is the most important. These are things that girls must learn, and the wife will teach her slowly in the future."

"What the madam said is that I have recorded the love between Sister Lan and Brother Zhan. I have to find a way to thank them."

Madam Li thought for a while and shook her head, "Madam, please continue to pretend that she didn't know. You think, if you go to thank you rashly, outsiders don't understand it, but the person involved will have speculations. At that time, Sister Xi thought about it and felt embarrassed. The girl's face is thin, so don't hurt her self-esteem."

"Yes, yes!" Aunt San nodded repeatedly, "Thanks to the nanny reminder, I am so happy and confused. What you said is, I should continue to pretend that I don't know anything. I remember the love between Sister Lan and Brother Zhan in my heart and repay it in the future."

"Yes, the future is long."

...

Chu Junlan was trying every means to solve Chu Lingxi. In addition, he was at home and had no defense, so he didn't know that someone had just arrived outside the window.

Chu Lingxi thought it out, her depression dissipated, and her spirit immediately became better. Chu Junlan massaged her a few more acupoints, and even her slightly nasal congestion was cleared. During dinner, she changed into clothes and went to the old lady's Chunhui Garden with Chu Junlan and Chu Zhan for dinner.

The old lady smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes: "It's great! After all, Sister Lan has excellent medical skills. I'm looking at Sister Xi!"

Chu Lingxi felt a little embarrassed. A few days ago, she felt a little self-pitying and didn't want to get better. She was covered in the quilt and cried secretly, feeling pitiful.

Now that seeing his family is so concerned about her, Chu Lingxi feels embarrassed and just lowers her head and eats seriously, as if she wants to count all the rice grains in the bowl clearly.

The eldest aunt, Xu, the third aunt, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were all using public chopsticks to dress vegetables for the whole family.

The old lady took a few symbolic bites and said with a smile: "Okay, the rules are established today. I will decide. You guys sit down and have dinner together. Today, Sister Lan is back and our family is all here, so I'll be more comfortable."

Several daughters-in-law were smiling and saluting the old lady.

Chu Hua chewed a peanut with sauce and deliberately became jealous, "Look at what my mother is biased."

"That's right," Chu Shan immediately followed up, "Mom is so partial, who can I ask for advice if my son is bullied in the future?"

"You can't even catch your mouth even when you eat?" The old lady snorted, "My daughters-in-law, grandson and daughters-in-law are all good. But you sons from the Chu family are not worried and don't bother to say anything about you."

Chu Hua smiled and said, "If you get the third brother, we just have no status."

"Yes, no status!"

Chu Yang, Chu Yuan, and Chu Zhan all covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Even Chu Feng, who had always been dead, couldn't help laughing.

After the family had dinner, the old lady smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Lan will follow your parents to go back and sit back for a while. She will have to go back to the palace before dark. She will have free time in the future and often come home. When you come back, I will use half a bowl of extra meal."
