Shen Qing was speechless. She was a mother, watching her daughter get bullied by Xiao You while his parents did nothing to stop him. Their father was busy, and when he got home from work, Xiao You would always cling to him, so Xiao Duo was ignored.

Qin Mei went to the kitchen. Bathwater was heating in a large pot. She didn't care who had prepared it; she just turned and went back to her room to grab a bucket.
After her bath, Qin Mei felt completely refreshed. She was carrying the bucket back to her room when she passed Jie Jingjue's window and he called out to her. "Fourth Sister-in-law."
