Shu Yu quickly got up from the dining table following Meng Han's actions and hurriedly walked to the front hall.
"Where are you taking me?" Shu Yu asked when she saw Meng Han slowing down and acting stealthily. She couldn't help but rub her forehead.
Meng Han made a hushing sound, "Sister Shu Yu, someone was badmouthing you, I'll take you to listen."
Shu Yu's mouth twitched, and before she could say anything, Meng Han pulled her down to squat.
Upon closer look, she realized they were hiding beneath the window of Lan Hua's chamber.
Shu Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "With so many guests from Uncle's family coming and going today, if we hide here, we'll be spotted in no time."
Meng Han thought about it and asked Ying Xi to keep watch.
Shu Yu, "..."
Before she could say anything else, the voices from inside Lan Hua's room reached their ears. Someone was talking, "Lan Hua, don't take my words lightly. Your cousin is just here to show off. Look at how she behaves after arriving. Everyone is fawning over her, surrounding her, and talking to her. You're the bride, but she's stealing the limelight. Isn't she just trying to steal the show?"
Meng Han whispered to Shu Yu, "This person is Lan Hua's friend. I inquired earlier; they used to be the best of friends in the village."
Meng Han was acting as Lan Hua's close friend and had a good relationship with her, even though she had come here not long ago.
When everyone else went to have lunch, she was the only one left in the room, keeping Lan Hua company.
Apart from them, there was also Lan Hua's close friend named Xu Cai.
Just now, Xu Cai had used an excuse to send Meng Han away, and Meng Han, being smart, didn't like Xu Cai much. So, she walked slowly and quietly to the window sill.
Then, they heard Xu Cai talking ill of Shu Yu in a sarcastic tone. Without hesitation, Meng Han ran to the backyard and dragged Shu Yu over.
Shu Yu knew Xu Cai. She was like Lan Hua, someone who liked dressing up but couldn't afford it.
The last time Lan Hua went to sell ribbons in Peach Blossom Forest, she went there with Xu Cai and ended up being blocked by 3 young masters and save by Lu Sanzhu in the water.
"Lan Hua, I'm telling you this for your own good. You should distance yourself from that cousin of yours. She's just here to show off. Look at her, how everyone is flattering her and crowding around her. You're the bride, but she's stealing the spotlight. Isn't she just here to ruin your celebration?" Xu Cai said in a gloomy tone.
Meng Han was indignant, "What is she saying? She..."
Before she could finish her sentence, they heard Lan Hua's cold voice from inside the room, "Have you said enough?"
"Lan Hua..."
"You can leave. I'll pretend I don't have a friend like you."
Xu Cai was taken aback, "What do you mean? I'm just saying this for your own good."
"You're saying it's for my own good, then why don't you be like my cousin, giving me a set of accessories? Instead, you just gave me two ribbons. And you still have the nerve to complain about the wedding gifts? Who do you think you are?" Lan Hua retorted.
Xu Cai was so angered that she fell backward, "Lan Hua, you don't know how to appreciate a good friend."
