After Su Yunjin settled the maid’s matters, she looked down at her dress, noticing that the hem was stained with quite a bit of mud. Su Yunjin decided to soak in a hot bath and then change into a clean set of clothes.
The kitchen always had hot water ready. As soon as Su Yunjin expressed her wish to bathe, the servants quickly prepared the bathwater for her.
After taking off her clothes, Su Yunjin stepped into the bath, soaking inside. She stretched comfortably, feeling all her fatigue instantly disappear the mont she sank into the water. Because it was so comfortable in the tub, Su Yunjin deliberately stayed a little longer until the water started cooling, and only then did she wrap herself in clothes and erge from the bath.
"Madam, fortunately I ca up with an excuse in ti today, otherwise the old lady wouldn’t have easily let it go without seeing the young master."
Aunt Bao poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Su Yunjin.
Su Yunjin took a sip, "Aunt, today’s matter was really thanks to you stopping it. If such things happen again in the future, I hope you can continue to protect the two young masters as you did today." If it weren’t for Aunt Bao, given Mrs. An’s personality, she indeed would not have given up so easily.
Aunt Bao had previously heard from Aunt Song from the neighboring village of the Gu Family, that Mrs. An used to be quite nice. Listening to Aunt Song speak of Mrs. An’s past, and comparing it with the present, Aunt Bao felt that the past Mrs. An and the present Mrs. An seed like completely different people.
The past Mrs. An was kind, reasonable, and a fair mother-in-law. In the village, Mrs. An’s reputation was also quite good. But the current Mrs. An clearly exhibited vanity, scheming, unreasonable greed.
Even though it was just the sa person, Aunt Bao could not understand how the transition from the past to the present Mrs. An could be so vast. "Madam, you said the old lady wasn’t like this before, why did she beco like this?"
Unable to figure it out, Aunt Bao was filled with questions, and Su Yunjin put down the teacup, pondering over why the disparity between the forr and present Mrs. An was so large. Back then, when Su Yunjin first ca to this place, Mrs. An did quite well as a mother-in-law, not as extre as she is now. Mrs. An’s transformation should have started from when she heard the words from the wife of Prince Rui.
At that ti, the wife of Prince Rui said that if her unborn child was a daughter, she would recognize her as a daughter-in-law. Upon hearing this, Mrs. An even went to Yu Pozi to find a secret formula for giving birth to daughters. The result, however, was that the formula nearly caused her unborn child to be lost.
Despite this incident, Mrs. An still didn’t learn her lesson, continuing to engage in one incomprehensible act after another, almost falling into sches that endangered Little Tiangua’s life later on.
Mrs. An’s change seed odd, but upon careful thought, it was not surprising at all.
Mrs. An had never shown this side before because there had never been imnse benefits placed before her. Until the prospect of becoming the Princely Heir’s wife at Wang Residence erged, which evoked this other side of Mrs. An. Mrs. An was a countrywoman. Not to ntion the position of Princely Heir’s wife, even mingling with the servants at Wang Residence was sothing she never imagined achieving. Suddenly, such a great temptation like becoming the Princely Heir’s wife was laid before her.
The greed and calculations Mrs. An had long hidden were swiftly exposed.
"Aunt, not everyone can withstand the test of great temptation. The old lady’s transformation is because of this," Su Yunjin said.
