Mrs. Wang solely then realized that the handkerchief she was clutching had fallen out sooner or later. Her face grew much more embarrassed. After inflicting such a fuss, who couldn’t guess the rationale behind it? Fortuitously, she hadn’t hurried to current the handkerchief as proof earlier, or else issues could be even much less clear now. Rattling it, wasn’t it stated that getting this embroidered handkerchief had taken quite a lot of effort from the eldest son, Han Yu? How might it’s one thing that Su Wenyue’s servant lady had embroidered!

Mrs. Yang had at all times preferred Mrs. Wang as a daughter-in-law and thought she was filial and smart, and she or he obtained alongside effectively together with her sisters-in regulation. Little did she anticipate that the Third Daughter-in-law would harbor ailing intentions. If it weren’t for her prior want to make issues troublesome for the Fourth Daughter-in-law, why would she have stolen the servant lady’s handkerchief? It was exactly due to the stolen servant lady’s handkerchief that right this moment’s occasions had unfolded, utterly messing up the great tea ceremony!

“Third Daughter-in-law, do you may have anything to say?” Mrs. Yang checked out Mrs. Wang, making no try to cover her dissatisfaction.

“Mom, I—I didn’t imply to. I used to be merely misled by what others stated and misunderstood my Fourth youthful sibling. I hope she gained’t take this matter to coronary heart, and that we, as sisters-in-law, can get alongside effectively sooner or later.” Mrs. Wang’s appearing wasn’t dangerous. Understanding that her mother-in-law was displeased together with her, she instantly placed on an expression of grievance and righteous anger at being decieved, shifting all of the accountability onto others.

“Though I don’t know why Third Sister-in-law is dissatisfied with me and targets me, she is true in what she says. We’re sisters-in-law and will get alongside harmoniously. Mom, let’s simply neglect about this incident. I had no intention of focusing on Eldest Sister-in-law or Third Sister-in-law. I merely needed to show that I’m not as insufferable as rumors recommend. I hope Mom won’t thoughts,” Su Wenyue stated, smiling amiably and showing magnanimous. She confirmed no intention of clinging to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang’s faults. In spite of everything, she had gained right this moment’s battle and had efficiently tarnished Mrs. Wang’s good picture within the eyes of their mother-in-law, Mrs. Yang. It wouldn’t be straightforward for Mrs. Wang to plot towards her behind her again. And it wasn’t about life or dying in spite of everything. Having spent a very long time in that giant home, she had grown accustomed to the darkish, underhanded schemes and felt far more tolerant in the direction of sure points. Mrs. Wang was inconsequential; even when she had some crafty plans, it was solely to decrease Su Wenyue’s standing in Mrs. Yang’s eyes, which was hardly vital.

Previous Man Han and Mrs. Yang have been each very happy with Su Wenyue’s habits. Who wouldn’t recognize a daughter-in-law who was so forgiving? Even Mrs. Yang herself won’t have been capable of be so beneficiant had she been in the identical scenario. But the Fourth Daughter-in-law, as soon as she stated she wouldn’t bear a grudge, actually held no grudge and maintained a cheerful demeanor, which confirmed a beneficiant coronary heart.

Now that all the pieces had been introduced into the open, there was not a lot left to say. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang have been now behaving themselves and had no ideas of taking part in any tips. The tea ceremony needed to proceed. Han Yu was the fourth son and the youngest among the many brothers. Su Wenyue nonetheless needed to supply tea to her elder brothers and sisters-in-law. Correspondingly, the brothers and their wives had additionally ready presents for the newlyweds.

Though Eldest Sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, wasn’t notably likable, Large brother Han Hu was an sincere man who valued household ties deeply, particularly in the direction of Han Yu, whom he had taken care of since childhood. Subsequently, he was beneficiant, and Su Wenyue felt the load of the pink envelope in her arms was substantial.

Han Hu may need been nearing thirty however solely had two daughters. The elder one was already twelve, named Han Xiaofeng, and the youthful one was seven, named Han Xiaohua. Su Wenyue introduced out the presents she had ready prematurely for the youthful technology, giving every of them a pair of silver floral hairpins. Not simply Mrs. Wang, even Mrs. Li felt envious— the Fourth Daughter-in-law was too beneficiant.

Mrs. Yang seen Su Wenyue’s actions and, though she was happy together with her generosity, felt that the Fourth Daughter-in-law was too naive. A token reward for the youthful family members would have sufficed, however she had gone overboard. Though the Fourth Daughter-in-law’s mom’s household was rich and she or he had a considerable dowry, she couldn’t afford to be so extravagant. Notably since Eldest Daughter-in-law was grasping, Mrs. Yang determined she would later have to instruct the Fourth Daughter-in-law to be extra cautious, so her sisters-in-law wouldn’t trick her out of her valuables. She wanted to maintain a tighter maintain on her issues.

Mrs. Yang was biased in the direction of her youngest son, which was an unchangeable reality, and she or he naturally stored a detailed watch over her daughter-in-law. Apart from, her daughter-in-law was going to spend a lifetime together with her son; all these issues would finally belong to her grandson.

When it got here to Second Brother Han Ping, he was simply as easy. Each he and his spouse have been down-to-earth, feeling that bringing Su Wenyue, together with her rich background, into the Han Household was a slight to her. Subsequently, they couldn’t be stingy and let others make a mockery of their household, so the pink envelope given to Su Wenyue was hardly lighter than the one from the eldest brother.

Han Ping was certainly lucky, with a son and a daughter. His elder son, named Han Baofu, was already 9 years previous, and his youthful daughter, named Han Xiaocao, was six. Su Wenyue gave Han Baofu a set of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Han Xiaocao, like her sisters, acquired a pair of silver floral hairpins.

Seeing that Su Wenyue’s presents have been so substantial, Second Brother and his spouse felt it could be embarrassing to simply accept them. They’d thought that the welcome reward they ready, though beneficiant, was the extent of their means and couldn’t evaluate to what the Fourth Daughter-in-law gave their two kids—not even a fraction.

“Fourth Daughter-in-law, these presents are too beneficiant. They’re each too younger to wish such wonderful issues. Apart from, Baofu can’t even learn but. That brush, ink, paper, and inkstone are fairly costly; don’t let the boy waste them. Fourth youthful sister-in-law, being realized as you might be, it’s best to preserve these possessions for your self.”

“Sure, certainly, Fourth youthful sibling, it’s best to preserve these wonderful items for your self.”

Han Ping repeatedly waved his arms, Mrs. Li voicing her settlement alongside him. Though she, too, wished for her son to be taught to write down and skim—who doesn’t need their son to attain nice issues?—the presents have been certainly too lavish. She had secretly visited the store earlier than and noticed that simply the paper alone value a number of cash for a single sheet. It was clear that the standard of the paper the Fourth Daughter-in-law had given was far superior to what the store provided, and the worth should be even increased, to not point out the costly brush, ink, and inkstone, which couldn’t be purchased with out spending a number of taels of silver.

“Second Brother and Sister-in-law, don’t decline it any additional. To not point out that Baofu is now the one male inheritor of our Han Household, and our household’s future hope ought to already be studying to acknowledge characters and skim. Even for a woman, with the ability to acknowledge a number of extra characters is nice. I’m not talking of pursuing official titles or scholarly honors, however studying can enlighten one’s motive and broaden one’s perspective, stopping others from taking benefit,” reasoned Su Wenyue.

Su Wenyue’s presents had certainly reached the hearts of Previous Man Han and Mrs. Yang. In most households, there tends to be a desire for males over females. With Han Baofu being the only real male descendant, each Previous Man Han and Mrs. Yang had the earlier intention to ship Han Baofu to a personal college to start his schooling, however with the growing chaos on the earth and tightening funds, they’d discarded the thought.

“Second baby, Second Daughter-in-law, since Fourth Daughter-in-law is giving it with such sincerity, don’t refuse. Settle for it,” Previous Man Han stated, talking up because the Second Brother and his spouse continued to demur.
