Since her friends had left, Shi Gao could only make her way to Lin Yu and the others.

Lin Yu had naturally stayed by her mother-in-law’s side, and the two were fawning over and heaping flattery upon Madam Shi—Xu Yun—together. Seeing that Shi Gao had come over, Lin Yu shot her a look, told Han Yuan she was taking leave from the group, and went to the restroom with Shi Gao.

Lin Yu heaved a sigh of relief when she touched up her makeup.

Shi Gao chuckled, “You must be exhausted. Accompanying a group of old ladies and listening to them talk about boring things has got to be tiring.”

Lin Yu smiled detachedly and added some powder to her nose. “Why didn’t you come forward and chat with all of us? Madam Shi seems to have a good temper.

She’s quite direct and tells it like it is. She’s very easy to get along with.”

Shi Gao sighed, “Yeah… That Xiang Yang is really lucky. If her mother-in-law were anyone else—even if, say, your mother-in-law—she probably wouldn’t be able to marry into the family!”

Lin Yu glanced at her in the mirror and remarked, “Mrs. Shi seems to like Xiang Yang very much. She treats both her daughters-in-law equally well, and Xiang

Yang and Yun Nan get along well, too.”

Shi Gao was a little disappointed to hear that and groused, “That’s why I told you Xiang Yang has some tricks up her sleeve. She’s good at deceit, and her-in-laws are none the wiser about her true nature.”

Lin Yu smiled at her in the mirror. “You can solve that easily enough. Find a suitable occasion and tell Madam Shi about it.”

Shi Gao’s eyes lit up but then dimmed. “The Xiang family must have cleaned up

all the evidence; they definitely won’t leave any evidence. Madam Shi will find nothing when she goes to verify my claims, and then they’ll say I falsely accused her.”

Lin Yu rolled her eyes at her. “What mother-in-law would bother to investigate if they heard about such a matter? ‘ Theres no smoke without fire!’ Look at my mother-in-law; when she heard Xi Cheng’s mistress was an indecent woman, she believed it without thinking twice. She didn’t send someone to investigate. She was too busy thinking up ways to get rid of that mistress.”

She continued, “I’ll let you in on a piece of advice. What mothers-in-law can’t stand the most is their son and daughter-in-law being in love because they feel their position is threatened. To them, if there’s a woman in their son’s heart who’s more important than his mother—whether she’s their son’s wife or his lover—that woman deserves to die!”

“Then, wouldn’t that woman go and explain herself to Xi Cheng?” asked Shi Gao curiously.
