"No matter who you are, you can't get around the word 'emotion,' let alone the bond between mother and daughter. Your grandmother and your aunt missed each other for forty years. Your aunt already has a house full of children and grandchildren. How much weight does your grandmother hold in your aunt's heart?"

Changsheng looks so much like your aunt; your grandmother is treating Changsheng like her own daughter from back then, trying to make up for lost time. Love can cloud judgment.

Madam Yang said slowly.

She could understand why her mother-in-law had become like this, but she didn't agree with it.

While it may seem like you're holding on tight by doing this, you're actually pushing people far away.

"That shouldn't be done. Changsheng is Sister-in-law Chi's own son, whom she loves so much, yet she sent him to Grandmother's side. Isn't it because they are filial? How can Grandmother do this, hurting Sister-in-law Chi's heart like this?"

Michelle Yeoh shook her head repeatedly.

If everyone becomes like this when they get old, she would rather not live to that age.

"Alright, no more criticizing your elders. Don't say a word in front of others."

"The mother who knows."

After chatting for a while, Michelle Yeoh got up and left.

Once you get married, you're no longer the same as a girl.

Everyone has a role to play, and no one is an exception.

"Madam, the Third Young Mistress has been sent back."

"Oh? She hasn't woken up?"

"Of course she's awake, but as Madam instructed, I must take the Third Young Mistress back."

It's no use waking up.

If the lady says it must be sent back, then it must be sent back.

Therefore, the Liu family now knows what the Third Young Mistress has done.

"Well done."

"Lord Liu said he will definitely make the Third Young Mistress reflect on her actions."

"Um."

Madam Yang nodded.

She could take this opportunity to properly discipline Sister Tong.

"It's time for dinner. Go and have Tongjie write ten pieces of calligraphy. She can't eat until she finishes. If she cries and refuses to write, so be it, but she can't leave her room to eat until she finishes." Madam Yang gave the order with little patience.

For a child like Tong Jie, strictness is necessary!

All your attempts to appease her will only become excuses for her to take advantage of you!

Before long, Lord Yang rushed back.

Upon returning, Lord Yang did not go back to his own courtyard first, but went directly to the old lady's courtyard to pay his respects and offer his greetings.

Upon hearing the news, Madam Yang's heart skipped a beat, but she did not panic.

About half an hour later, Lord Yang returned, dragging his weary steps.

Madam Yang helped him change his clothes before she ordered the servants to bring out dinner.

The couple sat down to eat together, and neither of them brought up those upsetting things.

The principle of not speaking while eating or sleeping is ingrained in my bones.

After dinner, Madam Yang smiled and said to the man, "Ziqiong must be pregnant."

"really?"

Lord Yang's face immediately brightened.

Although it's not appropriate for a father to constantly monitor whether his daughter is pregnant, he was still worried.

"It's pretty much true. Come to think of it, Tangtang actually took Ziqiong's pulse and said that Ziqiong was pregnant, so I called the doctor to come and see."

Madam Yang recounted the events of that time in detail.

Lord Yang was also pleased: "That should be about right. I feel at ease now that Ziqiong is pregnant."

“Who says otherwise? Let’s wait a few more days and see a doctor again. If it’s confirmed, we can tell our in-laws. Ever since I learned that our in-laws were making things difficult for Ziqiong because of the child, I’ve been worried sick.”

"Sigh, my in-laws are just eager for a child, I can understand."

Upon hearing this, Madam Yang said no more.

The couple were soaking their feet and removing their makeup at the dressing table.

After a long while, Lord Yang asked, "How is eldest sister? We can't let what happened today leave her with any lingering resentment. Sister Tong must be disciplined properly."

How old is she?

How dare they do such a dirty trick?

Wouldn't that make them dare to kill people in the future?

"That little girl Tangtang is quite unreasonable... so let's just leave it at that. As for Sister Tong, I've already had her brought to my courtyard. I'll personally discipline her from now on, and I won't allow Madam Liu to see her casually."

"Tangtang is such a clever child, she doesn't seem like a toddler at all!" Lord Yang laughed heartily, admiring Chi Tang's performance.

Madam Yang said calmly, "I thought you would consider Tangtang to be vindictive and not a good woman."

The implication of these words...

Lord Yang didn't respond. After washing his feet, he got up and came over to personally comb his wife's hair.

When couples are young, drawing eyebrows and combing hair are intimate pleasures in their private quarters.

But as the children grew up and I became a grandfather, it wasn't that I was unwilling to do many things, but rather that I felt it wasn't something someone my age should be doing, so I began to restrain myself.

To be honest, the couple hadn't done anything this intimate in a long time.

Madam Yang smiled and closed her eyes to enjoy the moment.

"You've already seen your mother, so you must have your own thoughts on today's events. What do you say?"

Madam Yang never shied away from things; she always took the initiative when the time was right.

This way, we won't be too passive.

Lord Yang did not answer immediately, but instead carefully and attentively combed his wife's hair.

After combing her hair, he helped his wife remove her jewelry, then guided her to the bedside. Once seated, he took her hand, gently patted it, and said wistfully:

"Mother, I'm getting old..."

As people get older, they tend to become confused.
