The matriarch of the Tian family was only going to turn sixty next year. Although she already looked old, her face was radiant and her spirits high, indicating that her days within the household were comfortable and essentially free of worry.
Old Master Tian was still robust and had occasionally taken in new concubines over the past few years. However, no matter how troublesome or cunning these "demons" were, none of them dared to show the slightest disrespect in front of Mrs. Tian.
It was simply because a mother's status rose with that of her children!
In her lifetime, Mrs. Tian had borne only one son and one daughter.
Her daughter was the current Empress!
Her son was the current Lord Jingnan!
Never mind the young ladies and concubines within the manor; even Old Master Tian had to show Mrs. Tian considerable respect. How could such a comfortable life not be nourishing?
