"Ouch! I really thought that my daughter had grown up and started to consider her mother's perspective. Now it seems I was completely indulging in wishful thinking," Juyun said with pursed lips, looking at Yueqin with a frustrated expression as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand," Yueqin said, bowing her head to pick up some firewood and heading towards the courtyard.
"Stop right there," Juyun quickly called after her daughter. "Don't play dumb with me here. Tell me, what is the real reason you went back to the Qin family's house?"
"I'm the Qin family's daughter-in-law; it's only natural that I should go back to the Qin family," Yueqin replied.
Seeing that her daughter was lying even to her, Juyun got angry and poked Yueqin's forehead, "Stop talking nonsense. The Qin family has come into money, haven't they? It sounds like a substantial amount, too."
"Who told you that?"
