"If you want to go to school, then you should," Qin Mei said with a smile.
Jie Jingshan fell silent. The idea was tempting, but her legs… She took a deep breath. 'I have to trust my fourth sister-in-law.' She sniffled, then said with a smile, "Fourth Sister-in-law, I'll go to school as soon as you heal my legs."
Qin Mei smiled, removed the last silver needle, and helped Jie Jingshan lie down. "Get some rest."
Jie Jingshan murmured in agreement, closed her eyes, and fell asleep moments later.
When Qin Mei came out, she didn't see Jie Jingjue. Instead, she found Jie Jingchen sitting on a rattan chair under a tree, reading a book.
"Done already?" When Jie Jingchen saw her come out, he closed his book, placed it on the stone table, and started to rise.
"Fourth Wife of Jing!" Granny Guo's voice thundered through the courtyard.
Jie Jingchen froze and looked toward the courtyard gate.
