Zhou Yan couldn't bring herself to tell her eldest nephew. She turned to glare at the culprit, muttering to herself, "You handle it." It was infuriating; she felt she had suffered a loss after secretly washing the bed sheets for so many years!

Xu Pei touched his nose awkwardly. He wanted to clarify that Xiao Zhou's bed-sheet-washing routine was just merely placing them in a basin with water and washing powder. Whether he washed them properly or not was uncertain.
Zhou Yan went looking for Su Wen, and the two men exchanged a strange, tacit understanding.
