Aunt Bao’s attitude was unpleasant, and when she spoke to Mrs. An in such a tone, Mrs. An’s face instantly darkened. How dare just a mere servant speak to her like that?
Mrs. An snorted disdainfully.
After all, she was Gu Ya’s mother, Su Yunjin’s mother-in-law, and her granddaughter was the future Princely Heir’s wife of Prince Rui Residence. How could Aunt Bao compare to her? What was Aunt Bao worth? Just as Mrs. An was about to explode in displeasure, Gu Chengxiang stopped her.
Aunt Bao hadn’t failed to notice Mrs. An’s face turn ashen. Since the lady of the house hadn’t spoken, Aunt Bao pretended not to know. Compared to Mrs. An, when Mrs. Chu heard that Su Yunjin hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, she nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, Aunt, you’re right, the Third Sister-in-law hasn’t had breakfast; it’s time to eat first.”
Gu Jianghai agreed as well.
Su Yunjin could actually eat and talk to Mrs. An and the others at the same time, but the fact that Little Tiangua almost died due to Mrs. An and Mrs. Chu being poisoned by Leng Jingxian and her servants was something Su Yunjin couldn’t forget, even if it wasn’t intentional. She could not pretend nothing happened.
Su Yunjin ate quietly, not hurriedly, making Mrs. An and her fifth brother wait a while, until she finished eating and revealed the truth behind the poisoning.
Mrs. Chu was fine, sitting there even though Su Yunjin deliberately ate slowly, she didn’t say anything. Mother-in-law Mrs. An soon grew impatient, “Third son’s wife, your father and I are concerned about Little Tiangua. Quickly tell us if you and the third son found the one who poisoned him? Was it really the same as your sister-in-law said, the ones who gave me the remedy?”
“Mother, as they say, there’s a time and place for everything. Wait until I’m done eating before asking.” Su Yunjin’s words made Mrs. An’s face turn even greener, especially since the Little Tiangua incident was her fault in the beginning. If not for her, Little Tiangua wouldn’t have been poisoned by someone taking advantage. Mrs. An swallowed her displeasure and closed her mouth.
Aunt Bao stood by, witnessing Mrs. An’s annoyance, secretly delighted. In Aunt Bao’s opinion, the lady needed to give her mother-in-law a good lesson.
If the lady made the son’s mother suffer a bit, at least she wouldn’t be up to mischief all day. Aunt Bao, sent by Princess Rui to supervise, was especially attentive to Little Tiangua. Seeing Mrs. An repeatedly make Little Tiangua ill with exceedingly negative results, Aunt Bao grew more and more dissatisfied. If not for the young master’s sake, Aunt Bao would have driven Mrs. An away with a broom long ago.
Both Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai weren’t foolish. They saw clearly that Su Yunjin was doing it on purpose. The Little Tiangua affair was truly a burden they owed to the Third Brother’s family. They had no complaints about the Third Sister-in-law acting so. When Su Yunjin felt it was enough, she didn’t make Mrs. An and Mrs. Chu wait any longer.
After putting down her chopsticks, Su Yunjin finally answered their previous question, “Mother, sister-in-law, you’re right. The ones who poisoned Little Tiangua were indeed the ones who gave the remedy to Mother.”
“Third son’s wife, what exactly happened? Tell us the details.” This time Gu Chengxiang spoke. Compared to Mrs. An, Su Yunjin had more respect for her father-in-law. He was different from Mrs. An, being a decent person. Su Yunjin addressed him differently. Because Gu Chengxiang asked, Su Yunjin immediately explained, “Father, here’s what happened. Those two first gave a toxic remedy to Mother, then bribed Shopkeeper Liu at the pharmacy to mix the poisonous drug into Little Tiangua’s medicine.”
