Ren Er rushed home. As the family's most favored daughter, the maids in her mother's courtyard saw her coming and let her straight through.
A maid said, "There's a guest who has traveled a long way, a cousin of the mistress, she says. She's inside speaking with her now."
Ren Er was feeling utterly wronged and was in no mood to care that Mrs. Ren was with a guest. She couldn't wait to make her mother take action and drive out that detestable Ren Liuyue and her husband.
"Mother!" She threw the door open, her face streaked with tears, startling Mrs. Ren inside.
The middle-aged woman sitting opposite her immediately lowered her head, her shifty, rat-like eyes secretly sizing up Ren Er.
Ren Er saw the woman's coarse clothes and couldn't help but frown.
'My mother is the governor's wife now. Where would a poor relative like this come from?'
The middle-aged woman rose to greet her. "Young Miss, it's been many years. You've blossomed into such a beauty."
