Albeit there was a nagging mother-in-law always whispering complaints that made life difficult, she enjoyed a few days of comfort.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qin-Li happened to be fond of creating drama!
Qin Yu was a good man, and Qin Yueshi, having endured hardship for many years, had long mastered the art of blind obedience. Despite living frugally, she was no stranger to scolding. However, Qin Yueshi was determined not to use the rewards from His Majesty and the Empress for personal matters, steadfastly choosing to grit her teeth for the sake of her three sons' futures. In addition, the servants of the East Mansion had been utterly depleted by Qin Hao, leaving only an old gatekeeper—all others had been sold off long ago.
It was bearable for the first few days, but as time went on, Mrs. Qin-Li's once vibrant face drooped longer and longer, and her ability to indirectly scold others by pointing at one thing and cursing another improved by the day.
