Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Losing Face

Translator: 549690339

Upon hearing this, both Yang Juxiang and her daughter revealed a smug expression on their faces. In their view, once the Mother-in-law had spoken, how could a Daughter-in-law not obey? When Yang Juxiang was at the Jiang Family, she also never took a no from a Daughter-in-law.

However, Su Wenyue didn’t comply with their expectations, “No, that’s impossible. I won’t let her stay in my room!”

Su Wenyue refused without hesitation, leaving no room for discussion. Not only were Yang Juxiang and her daughter taken aback, but even Mrs. Yang’s face turned sour. Her Daughter-in-law didn’t leave her any dignity in front of her Younger Sister and Niece, a complete loss of the Mother-in-law’s authority and face.

“Aunt, look at how Cousin-in-law is talking. She won’t even agree to such a small request, and it was you who instructed; she clearly doesn’t take you seriously,” Jiang Chunlan said indignantly, pointing at Su Wenyue.

Yang Juxiang was also shocked by Su Wenyue’s behavior, “Eldest Sister, I’m not criticizing you, but your Mother-in-law is too lenient. Where is there a

Daughter-in-law so unruly as to defy her Mother-in-law’s words? It’s utterly outrageous! You cannot indulge her like this; otherwise, she’ll end up walking all over you!”

“Why do you have to incite things in front of my Mother-in-law? Mother, after living together these days, don’t you know what kind of person your

Daughter-in-law is? Surely I am not that petty.”

With that casual remark from Su Wenyue, much of the dissatisfaction in Mrs.

Yang’s heart dissipated. Initially, Mrs. Yang didn’t blame Su Wenyue much. Given the Fourth Daughter-in-law’s wealthy background, having some particularities was normal. The real issue was losing face in front of her Sister and Niece.

“Fourth Daughter-in-law, you must have a reason for not letting Chunlan stay in your room, right?”

“Mother-in-law understands best. Daughter-in-law indeed had Chunlan’s best interests in mind, which is why I cannot let her rest in my room. It was out of good intentions originally; I never expected Aunt and Cousin Chunlan to misunderstand and even upset you, Mother. I am truly wronged.”

Of all the people there, Su Wenyue only really cared about Mrs. Yang’s opinion. After all, Han Yu still felt some affection for his birth mother, and she didn’t want to strain their relationship and make things difficult for Han Yu.

As a Mother-in-law, Mrs. Yang wasn’t all that terrible. She wasn’t malicious or the kind of Mother-in-law who delighted in tormenting her Daughter-in-law. It was just that she suffered from the common failing of putting too much trust in those she believed in, becoming less astute and more biased when something concerned her. Su Wenyue understood this and sometimes could even take advantage of it.

If the Mother-in-law hadn’t been like that in her previous life, how could she have lived so comfortably in the Han Family? So even though sometimes Mrs. Yang’s actions exasperated Su Wenyue, she didn’t really blame her.
