Zhou residence, Zhulan signaled the maids to send Marquis Rong's young servant out. She gathered her composure, but before Zhulan could erupt, Madam Zhao slapped the table, startling her.
Madam Zhao's eyes brimmed with tears, and her hand trembled with pain. Nevertheless, she endured and apologized to her mother-in-law, "Mother, your daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law couldn't help it just now."
Zhulan did not blame Madam Zhao at all. Among the daughter-in-laws, Madam Zhao was the one who most wanted her son to succeed. There was only Ming Rui in the second wife's room, and Madam Zhao was furious, "Be careful. Don't upset the pregnancy."
Seeing that her mother-in-law was not blaming her, Madam Zhao felt relieved. Her palm still burned with pain, her other hand slowly relaxed the handkerchief. She was still carrying a child, "Mother, I will keep it in mind."
