Upon hearing this, the Deaf Old Lady was stunned for a moment, then burst into a loud, hearty laugh. Her laughter echoed through the courtyard, leaving everyone staring at each other, confused.
Once her laughter subsided, the Deaf Old Lady said smugly, "Since that’s the case, there’s nothing to worry about. When Mrs. Jia was cursing Xu Shu, she didn’t know he was a surviving family member of a martyr. As the saying goes, 'those who do not know are not guilty.' It seems Xu Shu will just have to swallow this bitter pill." As she spoke, she lifted her chin slightly, a triumphant smile on her face.
Yi Zhonghai looked at her with pure admiration and quickly said, "Old Lady, it really takes you to step in. With just a few words, you’ve solved our biggest problem. Your wisdom is truly worthy of our deepest respect." He gave her a thumbs-up, his flattery dripping from his words.
