"Mother, it wasn’t Brother, it was Sister-in-law." This ti it was the sister-in-law’s doing, it had nothing to do with Brother. Su Yunjin wouldn’t bla him for this incident, even though the sister-in-law’s words that day made her angry. Su Yunjin still sent the gift over. Actually, she only did it for Brother’s sake.
Since Guo Qiulan married into the Su Family, she has been especially good at maintaining appearances. In front of Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi, she presents herself as virtuous and diligent, making both husband and wife pleased with her constantly.
Especially Mrs. Shen, who observes her busy daughter-in-law every day and thinks that her son made the right choice in marrying her.
When Su Yunjin ntioned Guo Qiulan, Mrs. Shen instinctively retorted, "Impossible, right? Yunjin, could you have misunderstood? Your sister-in-law is so gentle and virtuous, how could she have provoked you to anger?"
Mrs. Shen looked incredulous, while Su Yunjin simply recounted everything that happened when Guo Qiulan ca to see her that day, "Mother, I gave Brother a choice at the start, but it was Sister-in-law who insisted that Brother open the store. I helped Brother open it, but Sister-in-law ca to on the eve of the opening and told Brother didn’t want to open it anymore. She even asked to give Brother the boat we bought back then."
Mrs. Shen stared at Su Yunjin in shock. She couldn’t believe that Guo Qiulan, who had always been so obedient and lovely in front of her, could say such things. No wonder her daughter was angry.
Su Yunjin continued, "I didn’t agree to Sister-in-law’s request, so she said that my helping Brother with the store was all a pretense and that I had bad intentions. After Sister-in-law said that about , how was I supposed to congratulate Brother on the opening day?"
"This...?" Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter in surprise, sowhat uncertainly probing, "Yunjin, did your sister-in-law really say that?"
"Mother, if you don’t believe , you can go ask Brother. Besides, unless there was a reason, why would I make up lies to wrong Sister-in-law?" Su Yunjin countered.
Mrs. Shen studied her daughter and saw she didn’t seem to be lying, so she muttered, "Yunjin, if your sister-in-law really said such things, then she was at fault. It’s no wonder you refused to help celebrate the opening with your Brother."
Mrs. Shen sighed, thinking how a perfectly fine daughter-in-law suddenly changed completely.
Mrs. Shen found it hard to accept.
"Yunjin, your sister-in-law is such a gentle and virtuous person, how did she end up saying such foolish things?"
Mrs. Shen still found it hard to co to terms with what Guo Qiulan did.
Su Yunjin looked at her mother.
Gentle and virtuous? Understanding? Were these all just an act put on by Guo Qiulan?
The truth is, Guo Qiulan’s nature is actually greedy and selfish, calculating. It’s just that Guo Qiulan was adept at disguising herself, which is why she managed to deceive the Su Family back then.
Of course, Su Yunjin didn’t say any of this. Brother and Guo Qiulan were already married, and what’s done is done, so there was no point in talking about it anymore.
Su Yunjin was too tired to say more. Mrs. Shen continued, "Yunjin, your sister-in-law was wrong in this matter. I’ll go back today and give her a good scolding. I’ll also have your Brother talk to her, and make her apologize to you properly."
Mrs. Shen said she would go back and reprimand Guo Qiulan. But Su Yunjin stopped her, "Mother, there’s no need. What’s done is done. I don’t need Sister-in-law to apologize to anymore."
