「Imperial View Garden.」
After dinner, Wu Xiaoli returned home.
"Where did you disappear to all afternoon?"
The moment she stepped inside, she was met with her mother-in-law's hostile question. Ignoring her, Wu Xiaoli went straight to her room.
Her daughter-in-law's attitude infuriated Li Chunhua, who gritted her teeth in anger. To her, this woman wasn't a daughter-in-law but a thankless wretch. Jobless, freeloading at home, and she wouldn't even abide by the three obediences and four virtues. It was laughable. How could she, a woman herself, demand her daughter-in-law follow doctrines that had long been tossed in the trash heap of history?
Just as her fury was about to boil over, the door opened. Her precious son, who was rarely home, had finally returned.
"So, you do remember you have a home?" Li Chunfang's words were a reprimand, but her tone was less scolding and more concerned.
