No Next Time
Huh?
Did she say that?
The girl with bobbed hair nodded.
All right.
Since she said so...
The girl with bobbed hair was also a little glad that the girl hadn't hidden anything from her sister-in-law.
Her sister-in-law deserved it.
Just from today's snacks and meal, it was clear how much care her sister-in-law had put into everything.
The girl with bobbed hair was deeply touched.
She knew her sister-in-law had taken today's meeting so seriously because of her.
Because she was her brother's younger sister.
Her sister-in-law was so nice.
The girl with bobbed hair's heart softened.
"Qingqing..."
The girl with bobbed hair unconsciously lowered her voice.
After all, what Qingqing had done really hadn't been honorable.
"She sneaked into Xiao Xiao's courtyard and got caught."
Huh?
The woman gaped in surprise.
W-was that true?
The woman stared at Qingqing in shock.
Had Qingqing really sneaked into someone else's courtyard...?
Though she felt embarrassed, Qingqing nodded.
"I was blinded by foolishness for a moment."
She spread her hands.
"The first time was at least somewhat understandable."
Qingqing instinctively tried to defend herself a little.
"I smelled the plum blossoms..."
"I followed the fragrance to the courtyard..."
"And found that the gate wasn't closed..."
Of course.
Whether the courtyard gate was closed or not wasn't a reason for her to trespass.
"I was just too curious about the source of the plum blossom scent..."
"After all, how could plum blossoms be blooming at this time of year..."
"Right?"
Qingqing pressed her lips together.
"But the second time, I was definitely in the wrong."
"There's nothing to explain."
"The second time?"
The woman's voice rose slightly without her meaning to.
It was already shocking enough that Qingqing had sneaked into someone else's courtyard
