Chapter 73 - 72: Have Loved You in Vain for So Many Years
Bai Heming glanced at Shen Yinning and, encouraged by her gaze, retorted, "Aunt Yin, I am not a bastard! Master Yu really is my teacher, and I’ve been studying here for a month already!"
Yin Shanshan burst into laughter, utterly incensed.
She glared scornfully at Shen Yinning: "Sister, children are ignorant, but are you as foolish as they are? Do you even know what a great figure Master Yu is? He’s not someone a feudal matron like you, who never steps outside the house, can meet casually!"
"Shanshan is right," Lu Ying chimed in. "Shen Yinning, you’d better head home quickly and stop disgracing yourself here."
Seeing that Shen Yinning wasn’t willing to leave and was still leading Bai Heming toward the side gate of the Yu Residence, Lu Ying’s expression turned extremely unpleasant.
He rushed over and chastised her under his breath: "I know you came from a distinguished family, and even Master Yu might have regarded you highly once. But Shen Yinning, times have changed. You’re merely the daughter of a disgraced convict now. Why would Master Yu still be willing to see you?! I am, after all, your husband. If the servants of the Yu Residence end up chasing you out, I’ll lose face, too! Don’t be stubborn—just go home!"
"Husband?" Shen Yinning sneered. "In what sense are you my husband? Lu Ying, don’t forget about the agreement we made before we got married."
Lu Ying’s face turned beet red.
Before their marriage, he and Shen Yinning had agreed not to interfere in each other’s lives.
Therefore, he had no authority to question what Shen Yinning wanted to do today.
Yin Shanshan watched Lu Ying return empty-handed and stomped her embroidered shoes in frustration: "Husband, how can you let Sister act recklessly? There are so many guests here today—if she offends someone important, my brother won’t clean up your mess for you! And Sister knows nothing about propriety. If she angers Master Yu and he refuses to accept Hong’er and Hui’er as his disciples, what then?!"
