Chapter 37 - 19: Give an Inch and They Take a Mile
Compared to that, she would rather not have her daughter-in-law around, which would make her feel uneasy. Instead, she preferred being cared for by the maids, who allowed her to lean as she liked and act as she wished, never having to worry about putting up a facade or maintaining her dignity as an elder!
Speaking of which, maintaining dignities and keeping up appearances is a very exhausting affair.
Sang Wan was a little surprised. It seemed that her mother-in-law really didn't like daughters-in-law who stick to the rules. Perhaps her indifferent treatment in the past life was not entirely due to hatred. Sang Wan's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
"Yes, then I shall leave first!" Sang Wan bowed and was about to leave when she suddenly looked up with a smile, "Mother, if you get bored, just send someone to call me, and I will keep you company!"
"Good, good!" Mrs. Wang felt delighted and nodded with a smile.
"Mrs. Jiang, what do you think of my daughter-in-law?" Watching Sang Wan leave, Mrs. Wang leaned comfortably on the soft couch and asked Mrs. Jiang.
"This servant thinks she's not bad! Master has excellent taste; you are truly fortunate, my lady!" Mrs. Jiang laughed and flattered.
"I think she's not bad either! I'm not saying this to boast, but I really have to admit that those raised in a scholar's family are different in their manners and actions! They are so pleasant to look at!" Mrs. Wang chuckled and sighed with pleasure, murmuring with a smile, "Both are good, both are not bad, hmm, not bad..."
"Go, see what Miss Gu is doing, and invite her here!" With a raised eyebrow, Mrs. Wang gestured toward the young maid with a satisfied smile.
Gu Fangzi had been waiting anxiously in the peony garden. When she heard her aunt summoning her, she hurried over. Upon arriving at the entrance of the main courtyard, she paused, adjusting her expression and attire before gracefully stepping inside.
"Auntie－"
"Come! Come! Come sit down quickly! There's no need for formalities among us!" Mrs. Wang waved at her with a smile before she could even greet her.
