Tao glanced at the nervous girl and introduced her carefully, "She is my cousin's daughter, Su Xuan."
Zhulan looked at the girl a few more times. She was about the same height as her, with a bright and flamboyant appearance. She was really a flamboyant girl. Zhulan liked girls who were more confident and flamboyant. She smiled and said, "This is my daughter, Xuehan."
Su Xuan nodded nervously, "Hello."
Xue Han smiled, "Hello, Sister Su."
Tao felt that Yang was looking at her with an unnatural expression. She originally wanted to watch the fun and really didn't want to intervene. She just glanced at the girl beside her and sighed in her heart, "It's getting late, let's go up too!"
Zhulan patted her daughter's hand and said, "Okay."
"Sister, please go first."
Zhulan was not polite either. Her rank was higher than Tao's, so she went ahead.
Zhulan climbed more than 300 steps to the temple. Her feet were a little shaky when she came up. She hadn't exercised for a long time, but she still walked up. Her throat hurt from breathing heavily, and her chest felt uncomfortable.
Zhulan turned her head to look at Tao, who was also a person who never left the house, but she was sweating a little.
Tao smiled and explained, "I come to the temple every month to pray. I'm used to it."
Zhulan looked back at her daughter and Wu Ning. The two girls had never climbed the stairs before. If they hadn't been supported by the maids beside them, they would have found a place to sit down long ago.
On the contrary, Miss Su stood there without blushing or breathing hard.
Zhulan's eyes deepened, "Miss Su has ever practiced martial arts?"
Su Xuan held the handkerchief tightly and suppressed the nervousness in her heart. "Yes, I have practiced a little."
Zhulan withdrew her gaze, confused. This girl seemed to be afraid of her? This shouldn't be the case. She was very good at judging people. This girl was very brave. Zhulan was stunned. Su Xuan didn't greet her, but Xue Han wanted to greet Tao.
Zhulan looked at Tao with interest, and her eyes were also more focused on Miss Su. After a closer look, she found that everything the girl was wearing was exquisite. The gems on the gold bracelet alone were dazzling enough, and very luxurious.
Mrs. Tao noticed that Mrs. Yang's eyes were on Su Xuan and cleared her throat. "We've been resting for a while. Shall we go into the temple?"
Zhulan nodded, "Okay."
Foguang Temple is indeed a famous temple. The temple building is grand, and there are many Buddha statues carved on the mountain. The scenery inside the temple is also very good. Zhulan's mind is all on the temple.
Tao was a frequent visitor, and she introduced everyone all the way to the main hall to worship Buddha. Zhulan was just a foil. It was not that she was insincere, but she felt uneasy and resisted this place.
Fortunately, Zhulan was good at pretending, and Tao didn't notice it. Zhulan accompanied Tao to pray all the way, and the other girls were sent out.
Zhulan had been kneeling for a while and felt a little shaky when she stood up.
Li hurriedly supported her, "Mother."
Zhulan took a moment to calm down and said, "It's okay."
Li's face was full of worry. Her mother-in-law had just come out of confinement after giving birth. "Mom, let's go out and sit for a while!"
Zhulan was indeed tired. At her age, although giving birth seemed fine, her body was empty and it would take several years to recover.
Looking at Li, Tao couldn't help but think about her own daughter-in-law. She was very good at observing the rules, but she respected and feared her mother-in-law and never got close to her. She guessed that she wished she would die soon so that she wouldn't be so controlling.
Tao was not envious. She had her own daughter anyway and did not need the concern of her daughter-in-law. However, Yang was beyond her expectations. When Tao saw Li going to find water, she whispered, "You are too nice to your daughter-in-law. This is not okay."
Zhulan, "... ..."
This is a problem of concept. Tao represents the normal group of mothers-in-law in ancient times, and they are mostly against their daughters-in-law. Zhulan heard that Tao's son had many concubines, most of whom were given by Tao.
Seeing Yang's dry laugh, Tao stopped talking about this topic. She felt that she and Yang had no common language on the issue of daughters-in-law. Instead, she thought to herself that Yang's eldest daughter-in-law was fat and not very good-looking, so she might give birth to a son. When she returned, she would find a fatter one who was easier to give birth to a son.
Mrs. Tao was worried. "Why don't the Wang family have many descendants? My son has been married for four years and has only one daughter. I really envy you for having four grandsons."
Zhulan, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. They will come when they are supposed to. Don't be too anxious."
When Tao saw Li coming back with the water, she smiled and ended the topic.
Li carefully held the water and said, "Mom, you can't drink cold water. I want hot water. Drink it while it's hot."
Zhulan took the tea bowl and saw Li's scalded hands. "Look, your hands are burned."
Li put her fat hands behind her back and said, "It's okay. My skin is thick and it will be fine in a while. Drink it quickly, mother. The tea bowl has been scalded with hot water."
Zhulan felt warm in her heart, "Yeah."
Tao turned her eyes away. Okay, she admitted that she felt a little uncomfortable. They were both daughters-in-law, so why was there such a big difference
If Zhulan had heard Tao's inner thoughts, she would have definitely helped her to clear her doubts. She should repay Tao's sincerity with sincerity. Who wants a mother-in-law who always has concubines? It's good enough that she doesn't secretly curse you to die early.
After waiting for a while, Xue Han and the other girls came back together. Xue Han said happily, "Mom, I asked for a peace charm for my brother."
Zhulan took the amulet and said, "Mother thanks you on his behalf."
Zhulan looked at Wu Ning again. Wu Ning's face was pale. "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
