Lady Li couldn't help but look towards Lady Zhao, thinking their relationship was the best. However, Lady Zhao, hugging Ming Rui, said, "Mother, Ming Rui is sleepy, I'll take him back to the room first. Sister-in-law, leave the dishes to me, today I'll do the washing."
With that, Lady Zhao slipped away. She had her own matters to attend to. Since arriving in Pingzhou, she was eager to embroider screens, as her handkerchiefs sold for a high price in the county, and with more wealthy people in Pingzhou, screens were even more valuable. She needed to save up more silver.
She must at least catch up to her older sister-in-law's savings, so she really couldn't offer much help!
Lady Li, feeling gloomy, glanced at Lady Dong and quickly looked away. The daughter of Mr. Guan's family was out of the question.
Lady Dong, "....."
She had been disliked by her sister-in-law! This realization struck her hard!
