Yi Shiyin wasn't aware of the ambiguous relationship between Han Anniang and her own husband, so she followed Chen Mo's lead in calling Han Anniang "sister-in-law."
While speaking, she pulled out a bracelet from her bosom and gave it to Han Anniang.
Having been kept inside her boudoir most of her life, Yi Shiyin naturally didn't understand the ways of the world. Xiaoling had taught her that this was a customary gift for elders when first meeting them.
This bracelet was carved from upper-grade jade and had benefits if worn for a long time, unlike ordinary items.
Han Anniang declined politely a few times before accepting it, her affection for Yi Shiyin growing even stronger.
Everyone in the village knew about Chen Mo taking a concubine, so when Han Anniang mingled with the village women, they inevitably discussed it. Her closest friend, from the Zhang River family, mentioned that girls of such high status usually had bad tempers and were hard to get along with.
