Azhu watched from the side, feeling a mixture of envy and pity.
She envied Xie Zhinuan's excellent cooking skills, her embroidery talents, her beauty, but felt sorry for her because she had no family.
Xie Zhinuan, however, did not concern herself with Azhu's conflicting feelings. When Madam Yuan arrived, she informed her that she would return to Xiaohe Village the day after tomorrow and asked Madam Yuan to help find a donkey cart for the journey.
Although surprised, Madam Yuan agreed to help.
On one hand, she wanted to keep Xie Zhinuan, offering her son as a match, but on the other hand, she considered that Xie Zhinuan had no relatives and couldn't be an asset to her son. It would be better for her to return to Xiaohe Village to avoid complications if she stayed longer and potentially involved Madam Yuan's two sons.
