"Mother, you, you’re also taking her side! You’re siding with her too!" Shi Yui’s voice was filled with both sha and annoyance, her eyes already reddening.
Mrs. Wang’s heart softened for a mont, but still, she toughened up and coldly retorted, "I am not taking anybody’s side, I am just being reasonable! You are being completely irrational!"
"Fine, fine! You all dislike ! I’ll leave, okay? Is it okay if I leave!" Shi Yui cried as she stood up.
"You stop right there!" Mrs. Wang’s voice trembled with anger, "Very well! Very well! Have you started to dare throw tantrums and talk back to as well? In this house, are you the ancestor and the Bodhisattva? Even I have to watch my words around you, cater to your every desire, never to speak a word of dissent! Fine, go on then, leave! I want you to leave!"
Shi Yui was montarily stunned, her cries abruptly stopping.
Mrs. Jiang hurriedly stepped forward to soothe Mrs. Wang’s chest and calm her breath, "Madam, please calm your anger, don’t be upset! Miss Shi is your own dear daughter, she has not even had enough ti to respect you and show her filial piety, how could she act like this! Madam, please don’t say such infuriating things! If Miss Shi hears this, how will she be able to accept it in her heart!"
"Don’t try to calm !" Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears and said, "If she truly respected , had in her heart, she wouldn’t have made such a scene! She is clearly not letting live a peaceful life!"
"How could that be! Madam, you worry too much!" Mrs. Jiang hurriedly coaxed Mrs. Wang, then turned towards Shi Yui, "Miss Shi, please convince Madam! The Madam truly cares about you!"
"Mother, I was wrong, I apologize, please don’t be sad, don’t cry!" Shi Yui, seizing an opportunity, quickly turned around and knelt before Mrs. Wang, pulling at her sleeves and leaning against her.
"Why should I be sad, isn’t it all for you anyway!" Mrs. Wang cried, "It would be so good if you sisters-in-law could live in harmony. Even Fangzi knows to respect Miss Wan, and you are making trouble for what! I don’t care how you or anyone else used to think in the past, now, Miss Wan is already our Shi family’s daughter-in-law. She does everything well, respects your brother, and lives peacefully. How wonderful is that! Yet you have to stir up trouble every other day! Miss Wan is kind, she has never said anything bad, but you cannot always be like this, when will there be an end to it? What’s more, can you change anything by doing this? It’s nothing but adding troubles to everyone! Yui, do you realize? You are plainly making life difficult for your mother and your dear brother!"
"Mother, I won’t do it anymore, isn’t it enough if I stop now!" Shi Yui felt sour and astringent in her heart from her mother’s words and had no choice but to softly coax her mother, but inside she was even more resentful and indignant. She couldn’t help thinking resentfully: Sang Wan is indeed not simple, she has even managed to deceive mother! Hmph, based on her true nature that I saw yesterday, she is not really kind to at all! She wishes to deal with , but she has no say in this household! There is still mother and brother! Otherwise, she wouldn’t be courteous to !
"If you truly appreciate mother’s hard work, that would be wonderful!" Mrs. Wang’s tears gradually ceased as she said, "In that case, she can also take good care of you! Mother would really be relieved! After all, she is the one in charge of the inner courtyard. Not to ntion anything else, even if mother is in charge now, won’t it ultimately have to be handed over to her? Your brother is a man busy with his own affairs, how could he attend to all these day-to-day trivialities? He will still have to rely on Miss Wan!"
"We’re not going to live here forever!" Shi Yui refused to give in, "Once my Master passes the imperial exam and becos an official, we will naturally leave!" The implication was, who needs her looking after!
"Let’s talk about that when the day actually cos!" Mrs. Wang uttered a vague snort.
"Mother!" Shi Yui felt very hurt, "Mother, do you really think so little of my master? Do you really think he is destined never to pass the exam for the rest of his life? I don’t believe it!"
Regretting her words that had unintentionally hurt her daughter, Mrs. Wang, even though she didn’t have much hope for Ren Zhixian, had to comfort her daughter, "Mother didn’t say that! After all, who can tell about the future! It’s always good to be prepared for anything!"
"Mother!" Shi Yui got angry, "No matter what you say, you just don’t believe in him!"
"Alright, alright!" Mrs. Wang frowned, "I an it’s always better to have more preparations. If, just in case—not that, let’s talk about it once it happens, aren’t you still living at ho now? Can you just give your mother a few days of peace? It’s really strange, it’s Fengju who married Miss Wan, and even Fengju himself has no complaints, where on earth do you co up with so many criticisms?"
