This just looks like a poor woman. I don’t understand why these servants are so enthusiastic. Mrs. Yang muttered to herself as she watched Su Wenyue calling the servant girl in to instruct something. Not wanting to eavesdrop so blatantly, she followed behind the servant girl, curious about what she was going to do.

“You are tidying up the room here, aren’t you?” Mrs. Yang walked in and asked, certain that the daughter-in-law had ordered this. She just didn’t know why the room was being tidied up. Her son had lectured her this morning. Although it seemed logical, Mrs. Yang still felt uncomfortable. His words clearly favored the daughter-in-law. It must be that Mrs. Su said something to her or her son yesterday, trying to drive a wedge between mother and son.

“Yes, Aunt Feng and her son will move in. Our lady asked me to clean out two rooms for Aunt Feng and her child,” Bi Cao said. Bi Cao was a maid bought by Han Yu when he first arrived. Although she came to the Han Family quite early, she wasn’t one of the people serving directly by Su Wenyue and neither did she come from the Su Family’s side, so she seemed less assertive. Mrs. Yang demanded an answer, and Bi Cao dared not refuse to respond.

“What?! You mean that poor woman I just saw will bring her son to live here? Why? Who are they that we should let them stay?” Mrs. Yang criticized. The maids and servant girls around Su Wenyue didn’t bother much with her. Although they seemed respectful, they were actually distant and indifferent. Even Xiao Xi, who had been very close to her before and served by Mrs. Su’s side, no longer showed that familiar attitude. Mrs. Yang couldn’t easily ask Xiao Xi, lest the daughter-in-law find out. Thus, she still didn’t know what background Feng Susu came from until now.

Scared by Mrs. Yang’s agitation, Bi Cao responded truthfully. The other servants around the mistress were not afraid of being sold off because they had the mistress’s support, but she was actually scared. As soon as Mrs. Yang asked, she answered truthfully.

“Aunt Feng and her son were saved by our lady a few months ago. Back then, Aunt Feng’s son was almost dying from a severe cold. It was our lady’s kindness that provided the silver to pay the doctor to cure Aunt Feng’s son. Aunt Feng was grateful and had brought gifts to our lady a few times. Our lady has also been very kind to Aunt Feng and her son.”

That was all Bi Cao knew and dared to share, but seeing Mrs. Yang’s displeased expression, she was frightened and unsure why Mrs. Yang was so angry.

“Oh, I see! Who could they be? Just some people she happened to save from the street? And they got to move into our home so grandly. I have never seen such a wasteful woman. My son has been working so hard in the military camp, earning his salary, and she just fritters it away, benefiting outsiders. It’s utterly lawless and ridiculous! Where does Mrs. Su put me, her mother-in-law, in her eyes!” Mrs. Yang stormed towards Su Wenyue’s place, fuming with rage, and was seen by Old Man Han.

“Old lady, where are you going in such a huff?” Old Man Han saw her in a temper and immediately stopped her, guessing it had something to do with his daughter-in-law. He thought the daughter-in-law was pretty good—knowledgeable, polite, and generous, with a powerful mother’s family that had helped his son a lot. It seemed like a stroke of luck for his son to have found such a daughter-in-law, but for some reason, the old lady, ever more perverse as she aged, and too easily swayed by what she heard, always seemed to pick

faults with his daughter-in-law. Usually, he couldn’t be bothered to intervene in women’s affairs, as long as things didn’t go too far. But his daughter-in-law was pregnant now, and under no circumstances could he allow something to go wrong with his granddaughter or

grandson.
