Yesterday, the Family Head gave me a harsh reprimand, and also ordered me not to meddle in family affairs anymore, or even step out of the courtyard. If it was another woman facing such a blow, she would probably be crying daily and feeling shame, but Zhu Yulan is certainly not someone else. Her thick skin is so admired by Ling Baobao, it's impossible for her to truly be subdued.
It must be said, though this woman is somewhat shallow in her views, and a bit harsh in her ways, she does have some cleverness. Last night at the banquet, she easily discerned how grateful and appreciative the old man was of Mu Hanyan. The thunderous fury earlier wasn't simply because she offended Shen Yuhe, but more due to her disrespect towards Mu Hanyan.
From this, she realized that as long as she pleased Mu Hanyan, the old man would definitely show her some leniency, certainly not holding on to yesterday's small matters.
