Mr. He wasn't exactly sure either, but he tried to comfort her anyway. "Maybe it's because Xiao Yu has such a pitiful background that you've focused so much of your energy on her. He Lang and his wife can understand."
"Besides, do you think his wife wouldn't find out even if He Lang kept quiet? Her brother, Xue Xingzhou, helped out a lot with this. She's his sister; do you really think he'd keep it from her?"
Mrs. He froze. 'That's right, Xue Xingzhou knows all about it.'
Mr. He continued, "So what if she knows? If she says anything, just listen. After all, you made the mistake, so you have to bear the consequences."
Mrs. He fell silent, her conscience heavy with guilt.

When Xue Xingjun saw He Lang arrive, he went up and asked, "Brother-in-law, was Shiyi frightened?"
He Lang shook his head and then instructed Xue Xingjun to run an errand for him.
