After having a simple breakfast, Su Xinyi went to her mother and accompanied her to Madam Tai's courtyard.
On the way, Fourth Mrs. Su asked with a smile, "How do you feel today?"
"I'm already fine, Mother. Please don't worry." Su Xinyi replied with a happy smile.
Fourth Mrs. Su was also happy and said softly, "Today, the people from Duke An Mansion will come."
"Then I'll apply a layer of powder on my face, so they can see that my complexion is not very good-looking."
Fourth Mrs. Su couldn't help but laugh, "You cheeky little devil."
The two chatted and laughed as they entered Madam Tai's courtyard. They arrived neither too early nor too late. The First Madam was sitting in the room with her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zeng. Third Mrs. Su was there with Su Jingmo and Su Xixian, while Second Mrs. Su had not yet arrived.
As soon as they entered, they heard Third Mrs. Su say sarcastically, "Oh, Sixth Missy, your face looks rosy today. You really don't look like someone who just fell into the water."
Su Xinyi didn't like Third Mrs. Su, who couldn't handle Aunt Weng and always talked to people in a mean and sarcastic way. In her previous life, she would have been cautious and patient, but this time she wouldn't back down, "Third Aunt, such words should only be spoken at home. If it accidentally gets out, people might think you are ridiculing them for being blind."
At Su Xinyi's words, the First Madam, who had been hanging her head, raised it in surprise. Mrs. Zeng also looked stunned. Sixth Missy had indeed changed a lot after falling in the water.
She used to be tactful, but now she couldn't be anymore.
Su Xinyi's fall into the water had been witnessed by everyone. Third Mrs. Su's words were nothing less than calling others blind, indirectly.
Third Mrs. Su didn't expect Su Xinyi to speak like this. She had just returned home as a well-behaved person. How did falling into the water pool make her suddenly so bold?
"Do you speak like that to your elders?" Third Mrs. Su knowingly argued about her higher rank.
"Even the people in our village know how to differentiate between good and bad words, Third Aunt. I really can't tell if you're actually concerned about me."
Everyone: ...
Fourth Mrs. Su had long disliked Third Mrs. Su, who always wore a fake face and took jabs at people. She didn't bother to offer her a way out, and said bluntly, "Third Sister-in-law, the child just came back a few days ago. Don't hurt her feelings with your words. After all, our Fourth household only has this one child. If Fourth Master were still alive, he would have pampered her."
Third Mrs. Su was even angrier. This was just a girl who couldn't inherit the family business, so what was there to be proud of?
First Madam frowned slightly, glanced at Fourth Mrs. Su, and looked at Su Xinyi, who also didn't show any fear. She felt a little uncomfortable and thought for a moment before saying, "Fourth Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Your Third sister-in-law doesn't mean anything. Xin Yi is just a child, and she's overthinking things. In a family, conversations should be sincere and without making too much of a fuss over right and wrong."
"You're right, Great Aunt. I also think that way. In the future, Great Aunt, you should be more gentle with Eldest Aunt. I haven't been back long, and I see you've scolded her several times already. Even the evil mother-in-law in my hometown isn't as fierce as you, Great Aunt. Don't be angry. Didn't you say that family conversations should be sincere?"
First Madam, looking at Su Xinyi's smiling eyes, felt her heart jump. Did falling into the water really change her?
Fourth Mrs. Su worriedly looked at Xin Yi. She was concerned when the child didn't like to talk before, but now she was worried that she was talking too much.
Sigh.
Mrs. Zeng was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close. It was the first time she had seen her mother-in-law at a loss for words. Awesome, Sixth Missy!
Su Xinyi thought clearly. In her previous life, she felt inferior because she grew up in the countryside, and these people always held it over her. They despised and pricked her with sharp words. This time, she would say it all herself.
She would say everything they wanted to say and leave them speechless!
Hmph, let them have nothing to say!
