Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

Old Master Ying returned to the Ying family mansion.

Since the Li Wan incident, Madam Ying has stayed indoors, locking herself in her home.

Old Ye was very worried, so he called Grandpa Ying and asked him to come and take a look.

After being married for decades, Old Master Ying still couldn't bring himself to completely abandon her. After hearing what Old Ye said, he felt a pang of resentment and went back for a visit.

He saw his old woman sitting alone under the pavilion in the courtyard, gazing into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

After the old man stopped Old Ye from going forward to report and told him to leave, he went forward alone.

"Old woman."

His voice pulled Madam Ying back from her reverie.

She slowly raised her eyes and saw her husband's face.

"You, why are you back?"

She spoke softly.

Then her eyebrows drooped, and she looked slightly forlorn.

"What are you thinking about?"

Grandpa Ying sat down on the stool next to her.

"What are you thinking about?"

She gave a wry smile. "Back when everyone was still here, it was so lively."

Her voice trailed off, "Now, I'm all alone. I remember Sang Rou used to love sitting here, painting and admiring the flowers..."

She pointed to a cluster of roses in front of her, "Yuchuan and Qingran used to keep us company here and chat occasionally, but now, there's nothing left."

His tone was filled with nostalgia and reluctance for the past.

One by one, the people she loved most moved away from here and left her.

She felt especially lonely these past few days, as if she had been abandoned by everyone.

This feeling of loneliness had been looming over her, leaving her helpless and only able to sit here in a daze.

Seeing her like this, Grandpa Ying was also moved.

"You should apologize to Yuchuan and the others."

As his wife, she never wanted to see their family become like this.

"Look at all those status and position you care about. Zhi'er has them all now. She's Pei Cong's biological daughter. You, why do you always look down on people? Now look what you've done, you've been slapped in the face."

Madam Ying gave a bitter smile.

Yes.

That backfired.

The person she looked down on the most turned out to be a rich heiress. When she learned of this, she was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.

It turns out that the world can really be so unpredictable.

You can never know what God will do next.

He let out a soft sigh.

How could she possibly have the face to go see Yuchuan and the others now?

Putting aside all the past events, just based on the fact that Li Wan injured Lu Luozhi, they will not easily forgive her.

"At this point, what else is there to think about?"

Grandpa Ying pulled her up.

"Just apologize to them sincerely. Do you really want to stay here all alone? You have no idea how lively the villa area is all day long."

Madam Ying slowly raised her eyes, "Can I really do it?"

She lacked confidence.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to get their forgiveness.

After all, what she did before was quite outrageous.

"With me speaking up for you, what are you afraid of? What I fear most is that you don't have the will to do so."

Grandpa Ying pulled her by the wrist and led her outside.

"Yuchuan and Luozhi aren't the kind of people who force others, are they? As long as you sincerely apologize and get their forgiveness, things will be easier to discuss in the future."

Madam Ying was filled with unease.

Is it really as easy as he says?

---

When Mr. Ying and Mrs. Ying appeared together at the villa, everyone was somewhat surprised.

"Yuchuan, your grandma has something to say to you."

Old Master Ying nudged the old woman beside him, signaling her to speak quickly.

If we don't speak up now, when will we ever be able to?

Madam Ying stared blankly at Ying Yuchuan and Lu Luozhi before her. Under their gaze, she solemnly uttered the words that should have been said long ago.

"Yuchuan, Luozhi, this old woman wants to apologize to you today."

"I was wrong before. I was narrow-minded. I said some hurtful things to you and did some things that made you feel bad. I sincerely apologize to you today and hope you can forgive me. It was my fault."

……

That day.

Madam Ying had dinner at the villa before leaving.

It was Lu Luozhi who invited her to stay for dinner.

She didn't want to hate someone for too long.

Holding a grudge for too long will affect her financial luck.

Sheng Shuang asked her, "Have you really forgiven her?"

She just smiled. "Let's not talk about forgiveness or not. She's still family, isn't she? And she's Ying Yuchuan's grandmother. Do you really want to hate her for the rest of your lives?"

Yes, that's right.

She will always be Ying Yuchuan's grandmother. Are they going to never see each other again for the rest of their lives?

She should think about Ying Yuchuan's feelings, shouldn't she?

So, if there's no question of forgiveness or reconciliation, let's just let things take their course.

Three days later, the results of the unexamined exams from the Deer Cry period were released.

He achieved a score that no one could believe.

"Hahahaha... You guys underestimated me, now you've been proven wrong."

Lu Mingshi's arrogant laughter echoed through the villa.

He stood with his hands on his hips, chin held high, like a smug and arrogant peacock.

Lu Luozhi was holding Ying Yuchuan's phone, which was open with an email containing her unexamined transcript from her Lu Ming period.

"What score did he get?"

Ying Sangrou and Pei Luo huddled together in front of the phone.

The three of them, with all six eyes, stared intently at the contents of the email above.

Lu Mingshi scored a total of 791 points, ranking eighth in his grade.

Eighth in the grade!!!

These numbers shocked them.

He actually made it into the top ten of his grade!

Oh my god.

They all looked up at Lu Ming again.

He tossed his head, his face radiating narcissism.

"Brother-in-law, you can keep that bald guy's plaque for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Ying Yuchuan merely raised an eyebrow.

But his eyes still held a smile; he couldn't stand his arrogant attitude.

"Lu Mingshi, your head... it's so different after you got beaten up."

Lu Luozhi clicked her tongue. "You actually scored over 700 points and ranked eighth in the grade? I should have given you a good whack on the head back then. Oh dear, you're a late bloomer."

"The deer's cry is so powerful!"

Ying Sangrou praised him with a smile.

This praise made him even more smug. "Little Ying, how did you do on the test? Oh well, it doesn't matter if you did poorly. Someone as smart as me..."

"But……"

Ying Sangrou interrupted his rambling, self-praising speech, "I got third place in the grade!"

"What?"

When the deer cried out, it let out a strange cry and looked at her as if it had seen a ghost.

"Third place? You got third place? Ying Xiaomei, are you sure you're not mistaken? You actually got third place, even better than me?"

"Um."

She smiled and nodded.

"..."

He couldn't even pass a single girl's exam!

Lu Mingshi's confidence was severely damaged. He squatted in a corner of the living room and began to draw circles in his mind, becoming withdrawn.

"I can't even beat a girl, I can't even beat a girl... Waaah... This is so awful..."

Everyone burst out laughing at his appearance.
