And now, Su Ying has been sent here in person.
She is likely here, first and foremost, to humiliate her future husband. Ruan Jiaojiao had long heard from Zhaoyi that their relationship was far from harmonious—even worse, in fact, than in the original story—but having not seen it for herself, she was reluctant to pass judgment.

Yet, today, he had stayed in bed with her until long after the sun had risen. Ruan Jiaojiao had a vague sense that there must be people loyal to Shen Junhe within the estate, and the occasional thought of him made her skin crawl.
