Chu Lian was astonished; it was obvious that she hadn’t expected such words to come from her mother-in-law at all.

It seemed like even a ‘naive’ person like her mother-in-law could tell that there was something wrong with the matriarch’s attitude.

Countess Jing’an’s description was extremely tactful. The way she had put it was that the matriarch was dissatisfied with their branch of the family? How could the matriarch be dissatisfied with the third branch? He Sanlang was her most accomplished grandson, and she was probably more fond of him than his brothers! There was no way she’d be dissatisfied with him, so Matriarch He was obviously only dissatisfied with just her alone.

People often said that it was hard to be a wife and marry into someone else’s family. Chu Lian hadn’t felt that way at all in House Jing’an previously, but now she was experiencing exactly what the saying meant for herself.

Chu Lian grinned. She was very grateful that her mother-in-law cared about her enough to give her such advice.

“Don’t worry, Mother, I’m aware of that.”

Countess Jing’an spoke a few more lines of advice before letting Chu Lian go off.

Fifteen minutes later, Chu Lian arrived at Qingxi Hall.

While walking down a corridor, she bumped into Senior Servant Liu who had just came out of the warm parlour.

When Senior Servant Liu noticed Chu Lian, she hastily stepped forward to welcome her.

“Third Young Madam,” Senior Servant Liu had already greeted her although she was still some distance away.

While Senior Servant Liu had a smile on her face, it didn’t reach her eyes.

Chu Lian suddenly figured out that there was something else going on.

“Momo, where are you heading to?

While Chu Lian was speaking, Senior Servant Liu took the chance to raise her hand and make a gesture while everyone else was focusing on Chu Lian.

Chu Lian’s expression froze before turning into a smile, “Since momo is busy, don’t let me hold you back. I’ll go pay my respects to Grandmother now.”

Senior Servant knew that Chu Lian had understood from the look in her eyes. She nodded, curtseyed towards Chu Lian, and quickly walked out of the bounds of Qingxi Hall.

Chu Lian paused in her tracks for a moment. Senior Servant Liu had made a gesture indicating the act of ‘drinking wine’. This obviously referred to a place where wine was served– a restaurant. The only restaurant that could be related to her was Guilin Restaurant.

Just as Senior Servant Zhong had said, the matriarch had probably set her heart on taking Guilin Restaurant back.

The signal from Senior Servant Liu was likely a warning that the matriarch was going to mention this matter to her today.

This was out of Chu Lian’s expectations; she hadn’t thought that they would become so impatient as to actually snatch ‘food’ right off her plate. What a complete lack of table manners.

Before Chu Lian even entered the heated room, a servant had already scurried in to report her arrival.
