She pretended to be sick, but the third young lady stayed by her side, making her feel really uncomfortable.
Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She had been thirsty for a long time, but she was afraid that if she drank too much water, she would need to go to the toilet, so she had to endure it.
"Auntie, the water is here." Huo Yunzhi brought a bowl of water to Madam Chen.
Looking at Huo Yunzhi, who had such an innocent-looking smile, Old Madam Chen felt that something was off.
However, upon seeing the water being brought to her, she disregarded everything else and immediately picked it up and put it in her mouth.
"ah!"
Grandma Chen felt that the water was not only scalding hot to her mouth, but also scalding hot to her throat.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Madam Niu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family, had been watching from the side the whole time.
Hearing his mother-in-law's scream, he assumed that Huo Yunzhi was deliberately making things difficult for her.
"It's hot!" Old Madam Chen gasped for breath before weakly saying, feeling a slight pain in her mouth and throat.
"Miss Huo, how do you take care of people?" Madam Niu glared at Huo Yunzhi with dissatisfaction, and felt a pang of guilt as she looked at her mother-in-law's lips, which were red from the burn.
"I'm so sorry, Auntie, I didn't know either. It turns out patients can't drink hot water. I promise I won't do it again next time." Huo Yunzhi raised a smug look in her eyes, but looked at the old lady with an innocent expression.
"It's not Yunzhi's fault. Sigh..." Old Madam Chen felt as if she had swallowed bitter medicine, and she could only bear the bitterness.
This Miss Huo isn't taking care of people, she's practically killing me!
She wouldn't dare accept a daughter-in-law like that!
"Yunzhi, your eldest and second sisters-in-law are enough for me here. You should go back as soon as possible. If others find out, they will probably start talking badly about you again," Old Madam Chen said gently to Huo Yunzhi.
At this moment, all Old Madam Chen wanted to do was get rid of this plague god as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she was really worried that she would find other ways to torment herself.
"How can that be? I am Sanlang's future wife. Since you are ill, Aunt, I should naturally come to take care of you." Huo Yunzhi was unwilling to leave.
“Third sister-in-law, your mother-in-law is very happy that you have this thought. But if you really come to take care of your mother-in-law, what will the people of Li’an County think of you, and what will they think of our Chen family?” Niu Shi said with a forced smile.
The idea was originally hers, because Sanlang was supposed to arrange a marriage between her and her niece.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yunzhi intercepted her halfway. Originally, she wanted her mother-in-law to make things difficult for her, but unexpectedly, Huo Yunzhi was either really that stupid or she did it on purpose. Her mother-in-law not only burned her mouth with blisters.
The medicine was spilled several times, and leaving her behind would have been extremely dangerous.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yunzhi's eyes filled with tears.
He looked like he had suffered a great injustice, and just stood there, unwilling to leave.
The three women inside the room looked at each other in bewilderment.
For a moment, they didn't know what to do. If they asked her to leave, it would seem like they were going too far.
However, if they let her stay any longer, they would worry about her mother-in-law's safety.
"Madam, eldest young mistress, second young mistress, a maid has come from outside. She says she's from the Huo family and has something to ask Miss Huo the third."
The servant's voice sounded like heavenly music to the three of them.
"Third sister-in-law, do you think there's something urgent at home? Why don't you go back first today?" Fang Shi received her mother-in-law's look and quickly said with a smile.
Huo Yunzhi frowned. She had already explained everything about her visit to the Chen family, so why did she still have to return to the manor herself?
Could it be that my second sister has returned?
