downstairs.

Bai Xuxu and Xie Lanyuan sat on the sofa in the living room.

Seeing the two holding hands affectionately, Madam Xie felt a surge of joy in her heart.

If things continue like this, another baby will soon be added to the family.

Bai Xuxu felt uncomfortable under Madam Xie's gaze. She awkwardly brushed her hair aside and asked with a smile, "Grandma, is there something on my face?"

Madam Xie laughed heartily, "My granddaughter-in-law is beautiful, and that's what makes Grandma happy."

Bai Xuxu was caught off guard by the praise and blushed a little. "There are plenty of people who are prettier than me. Grandma is too kind to me."

"Those ordinary women are no match for my granddaughter-in-law."

After speaking, Madam Xie looked at Xie Lanyuan and said, "Right, my dear grandson?"

Jie Lanyuan readily complied, praising without reservation, "Of course."

Watching the grandmother and grandson sing back and forth, Bai Xuxu felt utterly helpless.

It's often said that sons resemble their mothers.

How can this be inherited across generations?

"Aunt Xuxu."

Just as Bai Xuxu was feeling uneasy, a childish voice came from the second-floor stairwell.

Turning my head, I saw Xie Siyu standing there in her pajamas.

The little figure was as thin as paper, but the smile on her face was incredibly bright. Bai Xuxu hadn't seen her daughter for several days, so she quickly stood up from the sofa and walked towards her.

She rushed over quickly, opening her arms to hug Xie Siyu tightly. "Did you miss Aunt Xuxu?"

Jie Siyu nodded emphatically, "I miss it so much."

Bai Xuxu smiled, "Aunt Xuxu misses you too, she misses you so much."

This is her daughter, whom she gave birth to after eight months of pregnancy and risking her life.

However, due to Su Wanqing's jealousy, the mother and daughter were separated for five whole years.

Now that she has regained what she lost, Bai Xuxu wishes she could make up for all the time she missed during those five years.

When Jiang Suyun chased after them, she saw this heartwarming scene between the mother and daughter.

My cold, hardened heart was suddenly shaken.

The years when Jie Lanyuan was missing.

She was consumed by endless guilt and pain.

She cried out in her dreams countless times because she missed her child.

She went crazy.

I harbored resentment.

He even indulged in self-degradation.

They should be the ones who can best understand the pain of losing such a child.

But she inflicted this pain on others.

Someone like her will surely be punished by heaven.

Even if I die in the future, will I still have to go to the eighteenth level of hell?

Bai Xuxu happened to look up and saw Jiang Suyun's pained expression. She found it strange, but didn't think much of it and greeted her calmly.

"Madam Xie."

Jiang Suyun was still immersed in the pain of the past and could not get out of it. It took her a long time to come back to her senses after hearing her voice.

Looking at the mother and daughter's similar faces, her voice was hoarse and strained. "Sisi has been talking about you. When she heard your voice, she jumped out of bed in a panic. Can you check if her wound has reopened?"

Bai Xuxu stood there stunned once again.

Jiang Suyun had always been very hostile towards her, and every time she saw her, she would adopt a cold and domineering attitude.

But now, she's speaking to her so kindly.

Bai Xuxu sensed that something was wrong.

Could it be that he suffered a mental blow because of Lin Qingyi's matter?

However, she didn't have time to dwell on it. She quickly picked up Jie Siyu and hurried towards the room.

"Aunt Xuxu, I'm fine."

The moment she was placed on the bed, Xie Siyu proactively lifted her clothes to show her, "My wound is almost healed. I was careful about the wound when I got out of bed."

Bai Xuxu was still worried, so she carefully checked her over and made sure there was no problem before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jie Siyu's recovery is progressing faster than expected.

However, since the incision is quite large, we still need to take precautions.

Bai Xuxu patted her hair and said warmly, "If you want to see Aunt Xuxu in the future, just give me a call. If Aunt Xuxu is free, she will definitely come over as soon as possible."

"Then, Aunt Xuxu, could you move in with us?" Xie Siyu asked, her eyes sparkling.

Bai Xuxu could see the expectation in her eyes. She had already planned to move in, so she nodded without thinking, "Okay."

Jiang Suyun happened to hear it when she came in.

Bai Xuxu thought that she would, as before, use her superior attitude to force her to keep her distance from Xie Lanyuan.

However, she seemed not to have heard anything, and only asked about Xie Siyu's condition, "How is it? Has the wound reopened?"

"fine."

Bai Xuxu was absolutely certain that Jiang Suyun had been traumatized.

Otherwise, why would he suddenly be so kind to her?

"It's good that you're alright. You stay with Sisi for a while, I'll go downstairs and keep the old lady company."

As she said this, Jiang Suyun turned and walked outside. But she stopped at the door and, after a long pause, spoke again:

"If you want to be with my son, you should end your relationship with the Shen family as soon as possible. I don't want my son to be pointed at and gossiped about for being involved with a married woman."

After saying that, Jiang Suyun left without looking back.

Bai Xuxu only came to her senses when the footsteps faded into the distance.

This means... that they've accepted her relationship with Xie Lanyuan?

That's not right. Even if Lin Qingyi is disgraced, Jiang Suyun is not someone who compromises easily.

Without Lin Qingyi, she could easily find other women for Xie Lanyuan.

We shouldn't show her any mercy, since she's a married woman!

Bai Xuxu's first reaction was that Jie Lanyuan might have done something, otherwise why would Jiang Suyun's attitude towards her suddenly change so drastically?

So after spending some time with Jie Siyu, Bai Xuxu immediately brought Jie Lanyuan over.

There are some things that are not suitable for children to know. As soon as Jie Lanyuan went upstairs, Bai Xuxu immediately pulled him into the study.

"I haven't satisfied you for the past two days, and you want it again so soon?"

As soon as the door closed, Jie Lanyuan pinned Bai Xuxu against the wall.

Bai Xuxu glared at him speechlessly, then pushed him away. "Did you make some kind of agreement with your mother? Otherwise, why is she suddenly being so nice to me?"

"How so?" Jie Lanyuan inhaled her fragrance, his expression one of rapture.

Bai Xuxu moved his face away and warned, "You better behave yourself and don't touch me."

"Then I'll use my mouth."

Jie Lanyuan easily removed her hand and was about to kiss her again.

Bai Xuxu was truly exasperated by him. She rubbed her forehead and said, "If you don't behave, don't expect me to come and guide you."

Upon hearing this, Xie Lanyuan immediately became quiet.

I finally managed to get my wife by my side, so I can keep her in my sight every day. If she gets angry and leaves, it would be a huge loss.

Knowing when to stop, Jie Lanyuan coaxed her gently, "Grandma has already told her about you and Shen Mingzhou, that's why she returned the medical book to you."

Adding to the fact that Lin Qingyi has been embroiled in scandal, she must have been affected. Looking back and comparing you to her, she'll find you, her daughter-in-law, to be far superior, and naturally, her attitude towards you will change.

No wonder Jiang Suyun specifically reminded her to sever ties with the Shen family when she left.

So that's what they knew about it.

So be it.

The Empress Dowager would no longer make things difficult for her, and she was happy to be able to relax.
