Ye Qian wasn't in a good mood, so she naturally didn't go home. Inevitably, she went out drinking with Si Daochen again in the evening, while over at the Li Family's side, Shen Bin hadn't returned yet, but Mrs. Shen had come over.
Mrs. Shen came alone; the proper in-law wasn't home. She was stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and Ye Ling couldn't pretend not to know. She had no choice but to have her brought in; otherwise, standing there would attract more attention. As soon as Mrs. Shen came in, she warmly took Ye Ling's hand.
"Oh, look at your belly; it's gotten so big. My husband and I had wanted to come see you ages ago, but you know, this courtyard isn't a place we can just come to like that. I waited outside for so long today before they let me in." Mrs. Shen smiled kindly, but her words were off-putting.
She was clearly implying that Ye Ling was disrespectful to elders, keeping her waiting outside.
