Lady Mei forced a smile.
In her heart, she muttered to herself, "It's not like you've spent every waking moment with that girl."
"Let me tell you, there's no need to be afraid of her. Once she marries into the Mei family, she's part of our family. Assert your position as her mother-in-law—if she dares disrespect you, remember there's still Grandmother, the ultimate authority."
Lady Mei sighed, "Miss Yu is the treasured pearl of the Yu family, and the Old Madam adores her. I fear she wouldn't agree…."
"What do you know? Don't worry, Grandmother will consent."
Mei Qingdai curled her lips in smug satisfaction.
Mei Junzhe wandered aimlessly and soon found himself lost. His eyes were drawn to a grove of plum blossoms, where sunlight glittered on their pink petals, giving the scene an ethereal, almost otherworldly beauty.
Behind one plum tree came the sound of rustling. Mei Junzhe cautiously stepped forward.
A small rabbit was curled up, looking frightened and vulnerable.
