Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 9 Admitting Mistakes
As soon as the words were finished, almost everyone looked at Su Wan. Some were probing, some were vigilant, some were resentful, and some were grateful. Even Mrs. Tai took a deep look at Su Wan.

Su Wan calmly let everyone look at her, and only looked at Mrs. Tai frankly.

Anyway, she didn't want to seize power by herself, but asked the third wife to assist the housekeeper. She had a clear conscience.

One of these two is Mrs. Tai's own niece, and the other is Mrs. Tai's own niece. She is very curious about whom Mrs. Tai is partial to.

Mrs. Tai looked away, pondered for a while, and finally said: "That's fine, then Tao can help to manage the house together! And Yun'er, also learn more."

The second wife, Hong Shi, was naturally ignored by Mrs. Tai, and the smile on her face froze.

Dow, Aunt Wang and Huo Lingyun all stood up and said yes.

It's just that Aunt Wang forced a smile on her face, Tao Shi smiled happily, and Huo Lingyun still had a calm expression, but she just glanced at Su Wan with a slight frown.

"Old lady, it's time to deliver breakfast." Mingzhu, the eldest girl beside Mrs. Tai, said crisply.

A group of people moved to the dining room on the right side of the flower hall. The maids had already set up the tables and chairs, and Su Wan and Hong's Dow began to place the cloth and vegetables.After Mrs. Tai sat down, her six granddaughters also sat down.

In addition to the three girls from the eldest house, there are also the second daughter Huo Lingzhi (seven years old), the second daughter Huo Lingyou (five), and the third daughter Huo Lingxin (six).Su Wan, Tao Shi and the others had to stand aside, feeding the old lady with soup.

"Mr. Su stay here, everyone else go down!" After the meals were arranged, Mrs. Tai said to them.

Dow, Hong, Aunt Wang and others all respectfully resigned and left.

Before leaving, Aunt Wang did not forget to cast a sharp glance at Su Wan.

Although Su Wan was already hungry, but the old lady refused to let her leave, she could only endure it, because she is now someone's daughter-in-law, serving her parents-in-law is only natural.

However, if the old lady has been setting rules for her, is it possible that she is willing to live like this for the rest of her life?

Su Wan was a little confused.

In her previous life, although she had heart disease, her grandparents loved her very much and never made her feel wronged. Because she knew that life was limited, she liked to enjoy life very much.

Compared with the previous life, the current life is simply miserable.

Although she is in good health, she is coerced by others, unable to control herself, and even lost her right to be a mother.

But Su Wan is not a person who complains about herself. Since she is here, she must work hard to live and enjoy this hard-won life.

After the meal, after washing their hands and rinsing their mouths, everyone returned to the flower hall, leaving only the maids to tidy up. After sitting down again, they served hot tea again. Mrs. Tai said to Su Wan: "Do you know why I left you here alone?" Make rules?"

Su Wan was slightly taken aback, then stood up and said, "Please show me the old lady."

Mrs. Tai took a sip of tea and said: "Our Hou's Mansion is not a family of poetry and etiquette, and it is not as strict as those scholars, but it is still a family of princes for generations. It is respectful and filial to the superior, loving and tolerant to the subordinate. The ladies and young masters in the house treat the old people in the house with great respect."

When Su Wan heard this, she understood that Mrs. Tai heard the rumors yesterday and wanted to beat herself up.

But, she didn't think she was wrong.Mother Hu is going to beat her, can't she resist?Besides, she just scolded Hu's mother a few words and didn't move her finger. Is there something wrong with that?

It's ridiculous.

So, she leaned forward and said: "Mrs. Tai is very right. Ever since she married into the Hou's mansion, the daughter-in-law has always acted like this, and she dare not make a mistake."

Mrs. Tai also nodded when she heard this, Su Wan was really honest before, she was honest and cowardly.

"It's just," Su Wan continued: "Some people, you treat her with courtesy, but they think you're a good-natured person who pushes you for an inch, and after a short while, you actually commit an offense and bully your master. At a time like this, do I still have to swallow my anger, and even move closer to let her slap me?"

Speaking of this, Su Wan shook her head and said: "No matter how cowardly my daughter-in-law is, she will never tolerate it."

Mrs. Tai frowned, and said, "Mrs. Su, you're taking it too seriously, right? How did you get to this point? Mama Hu was trained by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess herself. She knows the rules best, so how can she do it?" What's more, she is still your wet nurse, even if she said a few words to you, it was for your own good. You can't lose your temper just because of a moment of anger, so that no one can laugh at you. Well, let me declare Hu's mother, you apologize to Hu's mother in front of me, and the matter will be over, how about it?"

Ask her to apologize to Mama Hu?Su Wan sneered, thanks to her, she could say such things.

She didn't believe that Mrs. Tai didn't know the truth. She beat and abused herself like this, but she wanted to be more honest and accept it like before. Maybe she could sell it to His Royal Highness, why not do it?
If so, the former Su Wan'er might have tolerated it, but unfortunately, she is not Su Wan'er, so she can't act like this.

Since Mrs. Tai doesn't treat her as a daughter-in-law, refuses to defend her, and humiliates her righteously, then why should she come to suffer from her again?Since that's the case, it's not a good idea to break up with each other, once it's over, and live their own lives, she shouldn't come to give her mother-in-law's money.

Even though she thought so, Su Wan didn't want to completely tear herself apart with Mrs. Tai, as that would not be good for her, it would be nothing more than hypocrisy with her.

Thinking of this, Su Wan was sure, and a smile appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tai thought she agreed, and she showed a satisfied expression on her face. She was about to speak when she heard the girl outside shout: "Old lady, Mother Hu is here."

The old lady was not surprised by this, she ordered someone to call Hu's mother here, so she glanced at Su Wan and said: "She came just in time, your wife is going to apologize to her! Let her in quickly. "

After Hu's mother came in, she knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed to Mrs. Tai and said, "Servant, please greet the old lady." The etiquette and rules are not bad at all, completely arrogant and domineering when she was in front of Su Wan yesterday.

Mrs. Tai was very satisfied with Mama Hu's respectful attitude, and hurriedly asked the little girl to help Mama Hu up.Otherwise, even if Hu's mother is someone close to His Highness the eldest princess, if she is disrespectful to her wife, she will be concerned about the British government and will not let her stay in Changwuhou's mansion.

"I don't know if the old lady is calling the slaves, but what are your orders?" Mother Hu asked meekly after getting up.

Mrs. Tai took a look at Su Wan and said, "It's not that I want to find you, it's that your wife wants to see you."
