When Mrs. Chu spoke those words, Mrs. Li dared not make a fuss anymore. She wasn't afraid of the elderly lord on the other side of the shield or the second lord, but she was absolutely terrified of Huachang.
She glared at Mrs. Song and said, "What's gotten into you today? You're usually not this proactive, now go sit down. Now they'll say I'm a wicked mother-in-law, mistreating a concubine's daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Song's face turned red with frustration, but she dared not cry. It was always the same, away from prying eyes, she was asked to create trouble, only to bear all the blame once things took a wrong turn. The men advised her to be patient, to wait until the separation of the property, but when would that ever happen?
Mrs. Chu coldly said, "I really thought that the second sister-in-law was a kind person taking care of her concubine's daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Li's cheeks reddened at the words, frightening Mrs. Song even more."
