Mrs. Fan clearly favored Wang Qin. As a daughter-in-law, Nie Rujun couldn't just loudly rebuke her in return, so she swallowed her indignation once again.
Seeing that she had acquiesced, Mrs. Fan also took a step back and said,
"Now, pack up your things and come back with me."
Having said that, Mrs. Fan looked down, her eyes landing on Nie Rujun's stomach, her authoritative tone becoming slightly gentler.
While she might not have liked her, the child in Nie Rujun's womb was very important to Mrs. Fan, who simply didn't trust her to live outside while pregnant.
On the other hand, Mrs. Fan, influenced by Wang Qin's instigations, believed that only by gaining control over Nie Rujun could she get Fan Ju to return home and focus on family matters.
With an unwelcome addition to the household, it was a time when mother and son needed to join forces.
Nie Rujun hadn't figured out how to refuse her mother-in-law when, at the bedroom door, Fan Ju appeared, supported by Dr. Zhao.
