In fact, when facing this kind of problem, saying anything is futile; the best solution is...
"Mom, don't you know your daughter by now? Handling this kind of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is a piece of cake for me. No kind of scheme can work against me."
Gu Tong spread her hands, leaned against Feng Shulan, and said mysteriously, "What I really care about, is my relationship with Li Yan. Our time together recently has been quite pleasant. He's really good, knows how to care for me. Apart from being a little wooden, he doesn't have any other issues."
Candor is the way to interact between mother and daughter. The only people in this world who won't harm you are your family. They feel for you, care for you, think about you, and that's how they can see right through you. So, they are the only ones you can't deceive.
