Who would have thought that the mother and daughter, who were so domineering yesterday, would be so submissive today?

Pah!

She's not pitiful at all for those who fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak.

Gu An'an saw through Cai's intentions but didn't say anything.

It's all because Jiang Qiaoqiao and her mother don't know how to behave.

Evil people will be punished by evil people; God has dealt with them well.

She turned a corner, dropped off Liu Jiuniang, and drove the carriage home.

However, Madam Cai couldn't help but pull Liu Jiuniang aside and ask, "Why did she come back alone?"

"No, aren't the children all here?"

Cai glared at him. "I meant, why hasn't Jiang Yong'an come back?"

Liu Jiuniang frowned. "I heard from Xiao Gu that he went out to work, but who knows? Let's go see what's going on."

She'll tell Gu An'an what she learned later.

Aunt Li has always helped clean this house in the countryside. Although Gu An'an rarely comes back to stay here, it is still quite clean.

She didn't plan to stay long, so she brought enough rice, noodles, meat, and vegetables for two meals. Just as she was packing, an uninvited guest arrived.

The arrival of her sister-in-law from her maternal family surprised Gu An'an.

Looking at her increasingly beautiful younger sister-in-law, a hint of jealousy flashed in Gu Ersao's eyes.

How come someone who was almost dead before becomes even more pitiful and beautiful after surviving a brush with death?

Look at that face, so fair and plump with a hint of pink.

Her eyebrows and eyes are like those of a person in a painting, not like she came from the womb of her wretched mother-in-law.

Everyone says that nieces resemble their aunts, but she doesn't think any of the girls in her family look like Gu An'an.

"I heard your sister-in-law from your husband's family is back. I'm worried she might bully you. Are you alright?"

Looking at her sister-in-law from her maternal family, who was being very affectionate, Gu An'an said with a forced smile, "Second sister-in-law, your information network is really good. Her eldest aunt has already passed away. But it's good that she's here now, so that we don't end up fighting when we meet, and I won't be able to help her much."

Gu Ersao blushed upon hearing this. Wasn't this implying that she was avoiding Jiang Dasao?

But why should she stand up for herself?

"Your mouth is something I both love and hate." Second Sister Gu pretended to pinch it, but Gu An'an dodged and she missed.

Gu An'an was too lazy to engage in pleasantries with her. "What brings you here, Second Sister-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ersao glared at her and said, "Can't I come to see you?" As she spoke, she bumped into Gu An'an's shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Gu An'an had already sensed this and dodged directly, causing Gu's second sister-in-law to miss her target, stumble and fall to the ground, one arm limply hanging there—

It's dislocated!
