Two dumb people make a perfect pair!

  August, the sun is like fire.

  Even the air seems to be ignited, and the throat and eyes are unbearably scorching.

  Inside the vast Guan family estate, apart from a few gardeners wearing sun hats and pruning trees on ladders, and the sprinklers rotating on the green lawn, there was almost no sign of life.

  The weather is too hot, and it's noon when the housekeeper takes a nap without anyone in charge. The servants are all hiding in the cool hall corners to chat lazily.

  "What's wrong with our Fourth Miss? She hasn't come downstairs since she returned to the Guan residence."

  "I heard that... this temporarily recovered Fourth Miss won't be able to stay in the Guan family for long." The servant looked around and lowered their voice, "I heard Driver Old Zhang say that before Old Lady Jiang passed away, our Old Master went to the hospital. Old Lady Jiang saw the Guan family constantly absorbing other companies and was worried that after she left, her grandson wouldn't be able to hold on. Our Old Master made a promise, but Old Lady Jiang still wasn't at peace."

  "But isn't the Jiang family just as good as the Guan family? Can they just be swallowed up like that?"

  "Our master's ambition you're not unaware of, the Gu family was even bigger back then... wasn't it swallowed up by being confined at home? And for so many years... the Jiang family has always been controlled by Old Lady Jiang, those two grandsons of the Jiang family, one is deaf and mute, the other... I reckon must be a spoiled young master, with weak shoulders that can't hold up the Jiang family, that's why the old lady is worried."

  "What does this have to do with bringing back Fourth Miss?"

  "You're stupid! From ancient times to the present... isn't solidifying relationships most reliable through marriage?! You see... the Guan family has three sons, and the Jiang family also has two sons. Our family's original fourth miss is a fool who can't speak but only smile, so... we have no choice but to bring this fourth miss back."

  "Is that so..."

  "I also heard Old Zhang say that Old Lady Jiang grasped Old Master's hand tightly before she passed away... until Old Master said he still had a granddaughter who was wandering outside, and would marry this normal granddaughter to the grandson of the Jiang family. Only then did Old Lady Jiang close her eyes."

  "What you said is really scary..."

  "Really! Don't believe me? Go ask Old Zhang! I don't dare to talk nonsense about this kind of thing..."

  "Have you guys noticed that our fourth miss hasn't said a word since she came back? Could she also be mute?"

  "Two dumb people make a perfect pair!"

  The landlady came in from the door and saw a group of servants gathered together, her brow furrowed: "You all have nothing to do, huh?"

  This loud and intimidating voice rang out, and the servants immediately dispersed.

  "Uncle Lu..."

  That soft and gentle voice came from upstairs, just like a clear spring in this summer... It directly entered people's hearts, no one thought that Guan Yanrou, who had never spoken before, would have such a pleasant voice, like the skylark in an empty valley, with a slightly childish tone, just listening to that voice made people feel pity.

  A thousand dividing lines
