“Fourth Daughter-in-law, are you in the room?” Mrs. Yang hesitated outside for a while before finally knocking on Su Wenyue’s door.

Su Wenyue opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see her mother-in-law at this hour; normally, she would be working in the field or busy with other chores. However, considering that Mrs. Wang was pregnant, it seemed normal for the mother-in-law to stay at home. After all, the doctor had advised Mrs. Wang to rest in bed for a few days, so the mother-in-law was probably watching over her at home. But coming to find her at this time—could it be related to Mrs. Wang?

“Yes, Mother, are you looking for me? Please come in and have a seat.” No matter what she was thinking, Su Wenyue put on a smile, welcomed Mrs. Yang inside, and invited her to sit down.

“Lady Yue, are you making clothes for Yuer?” Mrs. Yang noticed a half-finished blue robe on the bed and expressed a few more points of satisfaction with her daughter-in-law, Su Wenyue.

“Yes, the weather is getting hotter, and I thought I’d make a few summer clothes for my husband.”

Mrs. Yang picked up a piece of clothing Su Wenyue had laid to the side, examining it closely in her hands: “Fourth Daughter-in-law, your craftsmanship has really improved. Look at these stitches, this workmanship. I’ve been making clothes my whole lifetime, but I’m not as good as you.”

“Mother is being modest. Just the other day, Husband was saying Mother’s art of making clothes is the best. The clothes you make have fine stitches and are comfortable to wear. As a daughter-in-law, I am far from your match.” Su Wenyue spoke sweetly. In her previous life, she had spent the most effort figuring out how to coax that person, so naturally, her skill at flattering was beyond doubt—she had Mrs. Yang laughing happily.

“Dear girl, no wonder your father and mother spoiled you so much; you’re just likable.”

“Mother has been quite good to me as well, which shows I’m fortunate. I had good parents at home, and after marrying, I have such kind parents-in-law and a husband who treats me well too.” Su Wenvue’s words held a hint of sincerity. Although the Han Family was impoverished, her father-in-law and mother-in-law had always treated her well. Compared to other families, Mrs. Yang truly could be considered a tolerant and generous mother-in-law. Occasional minor issues were something Su Wenyue could overlook, for after all, nobody is perfect.

“By the way, Mother, now that Third Sister-in-law is pregnant, you know that the relationship between me and her has always been rather strained. Third Sister-in-law likes to pick on me, and I truly don’t care for her behavior. But after all, she’s carrying a child of the Han Family in her belly; I’m still pleased at heart since having more heirs means our family’s prosperity will grow and the Han Family will thrive.”

“What Fourth Daughter-in-law has said just now shows you’re a sensible person. If Third Daughter-in-law were… sigh, I’m only enduring it for the sake of my eldest grandson.” Mrs. Yang sighed inwardly. There were some things she, as a mother-in-law, found hard to say. After all, it was a matter between sister-in-laws, and if not for the child in Third Daughter-in-law’s belly, she really wouldn’t want to deal with this mess, causing Fourth Daughter-in-law unnecessary worry.

“Mother, take a look at these two pieces of cloth—this is fine cotton, soft and breathable, ideal for newborns and preferred by many wealthy families for their children’s undergarments because it’s comfortable and won’t harm their delicate skin. I specifically picked out these two pieces for my unborn nephew. These cloths are quite large, enough to make seven or eight sets, surely enough to wear.” Before Mrs. Yang could continue, Su Wenyue interjected.

“No need for that. The child will wear what I and Third Daughter-in-law have prepared. How could we expect you to take cloth from your own dowry? There’s no such reason. Fourth Daughter-in-law, please put these away and save them for when you and the Fourth child have your own children. They’ll come in handy then.” Mrs. Yang was most looking forward to a child from the Fourth Daughter-in-law; both the Fourth child and Fourth Daughter-in-law were outstanding, sure to have children stronger than the others. Considering the amount of time the Fourth Daughter-in-law had been at home, perhaps it wouldn’t be long before another grandchild was on the way.

“Look at what you’re saying, Mother. Isn’t he my nephew too? I should have personally delivered these to Third Sister-in-law, but she has a significant grudge against me. If I were to go over, she would probably think I had an ulterior motive. Just when things have calmed down a bit, I really don’t want another conflict with her. The child in her belly is precious, so I entrusted the cloth to you, Mother. You don’t have to say it’s from me. It’s just a gesture for my little nephew—if it caused any other issues, it wouldn’t be good.”

“Fourth Daughter-in-law, since you put it that way, I’ll accept this cloth for my eldest grandson. Third Daughter-in-law doesn’t appreciate kindness, but as the grandma, I remember your goodness.” Mrs. Yang took the cloth, feeling its comfort—it was indeed very soft. Buying this quality at the cloth store would cost a fair amount of silver.

Su Wenyue smiled, but thought to herself that it would be best if Mrs. Yang wasn’t too disappointed when Mrs. Wang’s child was born. She kept referring to the eldest grandson, but what if Mrs. Wang didn’t have a son? According to her memories of her previous life, Mrs. Wang had two pregnancies, both resulting in daughters, while it was Mrs. Liu, the sister-in-law, who had managed to have a full son.

“Fourth Daughter-in-law, actually, I came to talk to you about something. Originally, this is not something I, as your mother-in-law, should intervene in

—it’s between you and Third Daughter-in-law. However, Third Daughter-in-law has become increasingly difficult lately, making a fuss because of the child she’s bearing, and I can’t do much about it. She fainted again yesterday, and if she causes any more trouble, my eldest grandson might truly be in danger, so I…”

Mrs. Yang hesitated but eventually spoke out. It troubled her conscience since Fourth Daughter-in-law was so understanding, but in her heart, her eldest grandson was still more important. Moreover, if what Third Daughter-in-law said was true, then Fourth Daughter-in-law had indeed gone too far. No matter the conflict with Third Daughter-in-law, there was no need to be so harsh and push someone to such a state.

“Mother-in-law, whatever you want to say, go ahead, I’m listening.” Su Wenyue had intended to deflect the conversation, so it would be harder for her mother-in-law to trouble her over Mrs. Wang’s issues, but it seemed that what mattered most to her mother-in-law was the eldest grandson.

Even though she understood the situation, Su Wenyue still felt a chill. Since she couldn’t avoid it, she’d face it head-on. If her mother-in-law went too far, she wouldn’t just take it. In her previous life, her father-in-law and mother-in-law had been unable to do anything about her actions and had let her be. In this life, she simply wanted to make a good impression in front of Han Yu and to show gratitude and respect to her parents-in-law, which added to her wariness and respect; it wasn’t that she was truly afraid of anything. If her mother-in-law really overstepped, she wouldn’t give in because she had a powerful and influential mother’s family backing her.. At least for now, the Su Family was not a force the Han Family could afford to offend!
