Mrs. Cui finally came to her senses and sighed, "I'm really all over the place today. Fortunately, you reminded me, or else my in-law might wonder why I came."
Yuan'er smiled and said, "Isn't it simply because parents worry about their daughters."
Mrs. Cui took Yuan'er's hand, gently patted it, and said, "You're the sensible one. If it were that troublesome sister of yours, I don't know what she'd say to upset me."
Yuan'er smiled and said nothing.
She wasn't born from Mrs. Cui; she couldn't compare to Qin Wan.
No matter what Qin Wan did, Mrs. Cui could forgive her, but not for Yuan'er.
The two went to the main room. Old Madam Gu was delighted to see Mrs. Cui, and several clan aunts in the room were very courteous, praising Yuan'er's virtues.
Mrs. Cui felt her dignity enhanced, even less believing Qin Wan's nonsense, and decided to discipline her son so he wouldn't get involved with the Xu family.
