And this was probably their last contact.
...
On the second day of her marriage, Rong Shang slept until ten o'clock in the morning.
Outside, Madam Hua knocked on the door with a sour face.
Hua Xichen tried to stop her, but she scolded him instead.
She said, "It's all because you spoiled her. Look around, whose wife is still asleep at ten o'clock?"
Young people these days are so immature.
They have no appreciation for their hard work.
Hua Xichen was speechless. He frowned and pulled Madam Hua's hand off the doorknob.
He spoke loudly to her, "Mom, Qiyan stayed up a little late last night, she's tired, can't you let her sleep a little longer? Can't I do whatever it is?"
She knew he must have been exhausted from their wedding night, so she made him some nourishing soup early this morning. Why couldn't she be more considerate of Huo Qiyan?
Madam Hua was still dissatisfied, "You're going to do it? Since ancient times, women have always done housework. What are you going to do, you're a grown man?"
Pushing him aside, Madam Hua went up and banged on the door loudly. "Get up! What time is it? You're still sleeping. Don't you know the day is almost over?"
A woman's shrill voice came from outside the door.
In the bathroom, Rong Shang threw the towel in her hand away with a snap.
She walked out with a cold face and flung open the door.
Presumably not expecting this, Madam Hua fell inside as she opened the door.
"Ouch!" she cried out.
When Hua Xichen saw Rong Shang's gloomy face, he frowned and felt very sorry for her. "Mom, please stop making a scene and go downstairs."
"Me, making a scene?" Madam Hua was displeased upon hearing this, and she turned around and glared at Hua Xichen.
He got up, glaring at the woman in front of him who was still wearing her pajamas.
She laughed, "Hey Qiyan, you've only just married into the family and you're already giving your mother-in-law the cold shoulder?"
Look at her face, it looks so sour.
Madam Hua found it increasingly amusing. She pointed to the clock on the wall behind Rong Shang and asked, "Do you know what time it is?"
"Mom." The longer Hua Xichen stayed, the angrier he felt.
Can't she be reasonable? Can't she stop being so petty?
"You're about to pull her down," Rong Shang said coldly from behind.
"I know."
It's 10 o'clock.
She started knocking on her door at eight o'clock, and it's been two hours now.
She's deliberately preventing her from getting a good night's sleep.
Rong Shang hadn't expected that she would reveal her true colors so quickly on her very first day in the family.
"Mom, are you very free?"
If she really has so much work to do, why doesn't she do it herself instead of keeping a close watch on her?
"Mom, you've been knocking on my door for so long, aren't your hands tired?"
"..."
Hearing her sarcastic remarks, Madam Hua was very angry. "No, what do you mean by that?"
"Mom." Hua Xichen realized that he couldn't stop her at all.
Mrs. Hua lost her temper, "Oh, so now you think I have nothing to do all day long, and you find this old woman an eyesore, is that it?"
"Mom," Hua Xichen finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Even Qi Yan didn't mean that."
She said all those things herself, so why is she blaming Qi Yan?
Rong Chang remained silent, while Madam Hua snorted.
Hua Xichen had a somber expression, as if he hadn't expected his mother to turn out this way.
"Alright, you can go now."
"What would I do down there?" Madam Hua glared at him again.
Hua Xichen had no choice but to get angry, "This is a matter between my husband and me."
"Xi Chen, you..." Madam Hua couldn't believe it. He had only been married for a short time, yet he was already siding with her like this.
