Mrs. Lai, ever since her feud with Aunt Lai and that resulting illness, had been cured but still suffered some speech impediments. When provoked by Aunt Lai, she sent the little maid to find their eldest daughter in the village.
The little maid, fearing Mrs. Lai might suffer at the hands of the concubine, went to find the eldest sister in the village as well.
Upon hearing that her mother was being bullied, Ye Shuying, already wanting an excuse to argue, arrived at her parental home and berated her father for not taking them to the Capital City.
Aunt Lai also joined in, accusing the eldest young master and young madam of taking their own children to the Capital City without showing filial piety to their mother-in-law and father-in-law.
"Shameless woman, isn't it because of you that my mother fell ill?"
Ye Shuying accused Aunt Lai.
