Shen Yiran recalled the look in Bo Jinxiu's eyes during the day, and couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Bai Zhi was also a smart man. He guessed it just by looking at his master's expression and reached out to hold Shen Yiran's hand tightly.

Shen Yiran wanted to call for help, but she remembered that she had just married into the Bo family.

Not to mention that she had not gained the trust of the Bo family, even her sister-in-law's difficulties made it difficult for her to move forward. Her shouting might not only fail to solve the problem, but would also bring more trouble.

"We have to find another way..." Shen Yiran lowered his eyes, suddenly an idea came to his mind, and whispered to Bai Zhi.

The little girl understood and retreated to the backyard.

Shen Yiran took a deep breath, holding the candlestick and walked out of the room.

The shadows of the trees in the yard were mottled, and you could vaguely see a person hiding behind the leaves.

Shen Yiran sneered in his heart, this old pervert really hasn't left yet.

She then walked lightly, pretending to be casual as she passed by the bushes where the man was hiding.

Suddenly, a man jumped out from behind a tree and stood in front of Shen Yiran, with a hint of surprise and a playful smile on his face.

Shen Yiran was startled by him and shook his hand. With a clear click, the candlestick fell to the ground, the fire went out instantly, and the surroundings became dark in an instant.

"Sister-in-law..." Bo Jinxiu took advantage of the situation and took two steps forward in the dark.

Shen Yiran stepped back and pretended to be surprised: "It's my eldest brother?"

Bo Jinxiu laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, we just met during the day, and now you don't recognize me?"

Shen Yiran lowered her head and acted shy: "How could that be possible? I just saw you suddenly, and I didn't expect that it was my brother who came here..."

Seeing that she was a little shy, Bo Jinxiu relaxed even more and moved closer to her: "Sister-in-law, I have not been able to sleep well these past few nights, especially tonight, so I was walking around the yard and happened to come to you."

"It is destined that Big Brother and I are meant to be together. I couldn't sleep tonight and was thinking of going out for a walk, but... I ran into you."

Seeing that Bo Jinxiu couldn't stop looking at him, Shen Yiran smiled sweetly, and this smile made the old pervert lose his soul.

She added, "We are so lucky to be together. Why don't we drink tea and watch the moon together in the backyard tonight? Let's talk about our inner thoughts and pass the long night."

Bo Jinxiu agreed immediately, "I think it's very good, very good."

Shen Yiran asked Bai Zhi to lead the way for him, and then he made an excuse to go to the kitchen to get some snacks himself so that others would not become suspicious.

Bai Zhi took Bo Jinxiu and walked around in the yard in twists and turns.

Finally he arrived at a small courtyard, his eyes moved, and then he turned around.

"Master, please wait here for a while. I will go and see if Madam is in any trouble."

Bai Zhi asked him to wait here and lied that she was going to help Shen Yiran get something. She left the courtyard and quietly locked the gate.

There was a set of stone tables and chairs in the corner of the yard, with a pot of wine on them.

Bo Jinxiu waited for a while but did not see Shen Yiran coming, so he did not become suspicious and sat down and started drinking.

After a while, the night wind whistled past.

Bo Jinxiu finally felt something was wrong. He stood up to leave but found that he could not open the gate.

He got excited and drunk, and yelled, "Is anyone there?"

"Someone come here? Who locked me up here?!"

Bo Jinxiu's shouting attracted the servants who were on night watch. They looked at each other in amazement and without having time to wonder why the old man was here, they quickly let him out.

At this moment, Shen Yiran and Bai Zhi in the dark looked at Bo Jinxiu, who was covered in dust and looked miserable, and laughed with their hands covering their mouths.

Bai Zhi looked at Shen Yiran smartly, "Miss, this is a really good idea!"

Shen Yiran smiled slightly and slowly retreated back to his own yard.

In the backyard, Bo Jinxiu returned to his room drunk.

Xu was sitting right in the middle, but he seemed not to see her, and sat there in a daze, feeling depressed.

Xu was so worried that she couldn't sleep. Now she saw him coming back. Not only did he not explain to her first, but he seemed to have lost his soul and reeked of alcohol. She guessed that he had gone somewhere to have a good time again, so she angrily scolded her husband.

"Why did you let me marry a heartless man like you?"

"I live a life of debauchery and debauchery. I own a huge house and support my family!"

Xu started crying and her fists rained down on Bo Jinxiu.

Bo Jinxiu was already extremely depressed after being teased, and when he returned to his room he was scolded again. He was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Xu.

"Do you still look like a woman?"

"It's normal for men to do these things when they go out! This isn't the first time you've seen it!"

Bo Jinxiu stood up and cursed under the influence of alcohol.

Xu felt aggrieved and cried for her parents, and the two of them quarreled endlessly.

When the servants saw their master and his wife quarreling, they dared not rest. The lights in the master's room were not dimmed all night. The noise was so loud that it disturbed the sleeping old lady, who sent someone to inquire about the matter.

Bai Zhi followed Shen Yiran's instructions and mingled among the servants to get to know them better.

He went back to the house and described everything to his master, while scolding Bo Jinxiu for being unworthy of being the eldest relative.

While complaining about the Xu family's head, how could he be sincere?

Seeing this, Shen Yiran knew that her lecherous brother would not dare to come to her again in the future, so she felt relieved.

But she was also worried that even though there was no evidence, Bo Jinxiu would definitely suspect her.

I'm afraid they will find excuses to cause trouble to me. Also... the waters in the Bo family are deep, and the interpersonal interests are probably more complicated than I thought.

The next morning, just as Shen Yiran had worried, before she went to pay her respects to the old lady, Xu came first.

Xu wore a veil to cover her face, and there were dark circles under her eyes, showing that she had not slept all night.

Last night, I'm afraid it was a fierce battle.

Shen Yiran thought about it, but on the surface he pretended to be ignorant and greeted her and exchanged a few words.

Xu ignored her concern and just asked Wen Yu to bring a piece of paper and asked Shen Yiran to buy what was written on the paper.

"It is inconvenient for me to leave the house today, so you will take care of these things."

She spoke in a bad tone, with hostility in her eyes.

Shen Yiran took the paper and looked at it. They were all valuable items that were not normally used.

So he asked Xu what these things were for.

"Sister-in-law, are you buying these as gifts for people?" Shen Yiran said in a calm tone.

Xu was so angry that she scolded impatiently: "Why are you talking so much? I told you to go buy it, but you can't even do such a small thing. And you still talk nonsense about managing a shop. You are really a pig with a pig's nose stuck in a green onion..." As she spoke, she thought of her husband's late return last night. She was so angry that she felt like she was stuck in her throat.
