Just as Xu Chunxi had said, it wasn't that they were tired. He Peiyin wasn't the kind of mother-in-law who enjoyed giving her daughters-in-law a hard time. If they weren't in the family's ancestral hometown, she would have preferred to just let her three daughters-in-law go and have fun.
But since they were in the ancestral hometown, surrounded by so many of her husband's clan members, she still told her three daughters-in-law they didn't need to stay with her. She told them to take advantage of the free time to go back and rest for a bit, then head to the ancestral hall at three.
Xu Changqing was happy for the reprieve, so she didn't linger in the large crowd of women of all ages and decided to head back first. The other one who was just as "obedient" was Yang Xiaolin.
