In the West Room, Xu Changqing changed into her work clothes and waited. There was still no sign of her second aunt-in-law leaving. The moment the woman was finally gone, Changqing stepped out of the room.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Old Mrs. Xu walking in through the doorway, looking like she wanted to say something but was holding back. "I'm heading to our private plot first. I'll be back later…"
"Wait."
Xu Changqing had no choice but to stop.
"Um…"
Amused, Xu Changqing watched as Old Mrs. Xu said "Um…" and then fell silent. Taking pity on her, she asked, "Is my second aunt-in-law gone?"
'She practically ran off, the coward! She's afraid of this troublesome girl herself, yet she pushes me, her mother-in-law, to do the asking. So clever of her. Why didn't she push her father-in-law out to do it?'
