"How should I know, I wasn't there at the time," Lady He finally wasn't foolish to that extent and quickly replied.
"Second daughter-in-law, what time is it now, where have you gotten with the cooking? If you don't hurry up and work, do you want to starve us all to death?" from inside the Upper Room, came Lady Zhou's scolding voice.
Lady He felt somewhat wronged. Clearly, she was in the right to ask Zhao Xiue to work, and Lady Zhou should have supported her. Yet now, it was Lady Zhou who spoke up, not scolding Zhao Xiue, but instead scolding her. She heard more than once how Lady Zhou, upon hearing Zhao Xiue had scolded her, got furious at home, saying that if Zhao Xiue didn't come back it would be fine, but if she did, she would teach Zhao Xiue a lesson, to make Zhao Xiue understand rules and respect for elders and superiors.
