Several people immediately exchanged looks.
The more they thought about it, the harder it became to disagree.
Xi Ronghua nodded seriously.
"I hate to admit it, but he has a point."
Gu Yue immediately joined in.
"Cousin Sister-in-Law looked ready to cry when she found out she had to live there."
Xi Qianqian covered her mouth.
"Not ready to cry."
She corrected.
"She looked ready to fake her death."
That earned a burst of laughter from several people.
Even Old Madam Xi had to cough into her sleeve.
Xi Jianyu helplessly shook his head.
"Are we really discussing whether my daughter-in-law intends to escape from her marriage?"
Xi Ronghua answered immediately.
"Based on her thoughts this morning? Yes."
Xi Jianyu suddenly found himself unable to argue.
Then, just as the conversation seemed to be settling down again, Xi Ronghua suddenly froze.
Her eyes widened slightly.
"Oh."
The single word immediately made everyone nervous.
Old Madam Xi looked at her.
"What now?"
Xi Ronghua slowly turned toward Xi Wenzhe.
"Speaking of your residence..."
A strange expression appeared on her face.
"Isn’t Li Mei working there now?"
The courtyard instantly fell silent.
The laughter disappeared as they all paused for a second.
Even Xi Jianyu’s brows furrowed.
Lin Meiyun slowly nodded.
"She is."
"I informed her this morning that she would remain in Wenzhe’s residence as an ordinary servant."
Xi Ronghua stared.
Then she stared at Xi Wenzhe.
Then she stared toward the direction of his residence.
"Oh dear."
Gu Yue immediately leaned forward.
"What?"
Xi Ronghua pointed dramatically.
"Think about it."
Nobody interrupted.
"Sister-in-Law already dislikes living there."
"She already dislikes Wenzhe."
Xi Wenzhe’s eyelid twitched.
Xi Ronghua ignored him.
"And now she discovers that Li Mei is also there."
The more she spoke, the stranger everyone’s expressions became.
Xi Yunchen slowly lowered his teacup.
Then he looked toward his elder brother.
"Elder Brother."
Xi Wenzhe looked at him.
"What?"
Xi Yunchen hesitated.
Then he carefully asked,
"Have you considered the possibility that your residence may no longer exist by the end of today?"
