I poked my head out from under the covers, my hair a tangled mess. 0
"Mother-in-law." 0
I smiled at her. 0
Her heart softened, and she pulled me and the blanket into her embrace. 0
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." 0
Mother-in-law was always so gentle and considerate, making me instinctively want to get closer to her. 0
I nuzzled my head against her. 0
"I want wontons." 0
She smiled, "Alright then, we'll have wontons." 0
Mother-in-law helped me sit up and took off her pearl necklace, waving it in front of me. 0
"Xuan Xuan, do you see what this is?" 0
"Wow, such a beautiful necklace." 0
She put the necklace around my neck and patted my head. "Xuan Xuan, get dressed first, and then I'll make you wontons." 0
"Okay." 0
I got out of bed to wash up, and the maid had already brought a bowl of wontons. 0
I dug in eagerly. 0
Mother-in-law watched me with a smile, "Eat slowly, there's no rush." 0
"Mm, Mother-in-law, you eat too." 0
I picked up a wonton and offered it to her mouth. 0
She smiled even wider, "Xuan Xuan is so thoughtful." 0
After eating the wonton, she looked at me and asked, "Do you really like Gu Yu?" 0
 
 
I nodded slightly. "I like her." 0
 
"Why do you like her?" 0
 
I wiped my mouth. "She helped me manage my obesity, and I've lost quite a bit of weight." 0
 
"Gu Yu gave me warmth and always comforted me, accompanying me." 0
 
My mother-in-law's eyes turned red. "It's my fault; it's A Shen's fault. We didn't take good care of you, which allowed Gu Yu to mislead you." 0
 
As she spoke, she nearly burst into tears. My mother-in-law had no daughters; she had long regarded me as her own, feeling deeply for me. It was also because of me that the Han family could be where it was today. 0
 
I quickly grabbed her hand. "Mother-in-law, please don't cry." 0
 
"It's Xuan Xuan's fault for making you angry," she said. 0
 
My mother-in-law held me tightly. "No, it's my fault; I didn't take good care of you." 0
 
Her emotions were overwhelming, and her body trembled. 0
 
I gently patted her back. "Mother-in-law, please stop crying. I'll be good from now on." 0
 
"Okay, okay..." 0
 
Her voice was choked with emotion. 0
 
I took a deep breath, holding back my tears. 0
 
"Mother-in-law, Gu Yu told me that as long as I stayed with her, she would help me manage my diet and help me lose weight." 0
 
"She also said that if I listened to her, she would help me have children." 0
 
"What?" 0
 
My mother-in-law's expression changed dramatically. 0
 
"Did Gu Yu really say that?" 0
 
I nodded. "Yes, Gu Yu said exactly that." 0
 
"She said that as long as I listened to her, she would help me lose weight and also help me have children." 0
 
My mother-in-law trembled with anger. "What does she want?" 0
 
"Does she want to replace your position?" 0
 
 
I blinked. "Mother-in-law, Gu Yu is a good person. She helps me with my diet, assists me in losing weight, and keeps me company. I can't be without her." 0
"Don't worry, Mother-in-law won't let you be without Gu Yu." 0
"Alright, you eat first. Mother-in-law needs to handle some matters." 0
"Okay." 0
Mother-in-law stood up and left. 0
After she walked out, Aunt Zhang came in. 0
"Madam, are you alright?" 0
I shook my head. "I'm fine, Aunt Zhang. Please sit down; I have something to discuss with you." 0
Aunt Zhang sat beside me. 0
"Madam, what is it?" 0
I leaned closer to Aunt Zhang and whispered a few words in her ear. 0
Aunt Zhang's expression changed. "Madam, can this... really work?" 0
I nodded. "No problem. Just do as I say." 0
"Yes, Madam." 0
Aunt Zhang responded and got up to leave. 0
I knew that Mother-in-law would definitely deal with Gu Yu. 0
This was exactly what I wanted to see. 0
Gu Yu had gone to great lengths to finally climb into My Husband's bed and even got pregnant with his child. 0
She thought she could leverage the child to become Mrs. Han. 0
But she didn't realize that neither I nor my Mother-in-law, nor My Husband would acknowledge her. 0
She must understand that without my acknowledgment, even if she gave birth to this child, she could never become the concubine of the Han family. 0
Therefore, she had to find a way to make me accept her. 0
What I needed to do was strike her down when she was trying so hard to please me! 0
 
 
I want her to know that life in a wealthy family is not as easy as it seems! 0
I want her to understand that with just one word from me, I can send her straight to hell! 0
I want her to realize that within this world of affluence, she has no choice but to face a dead end! 0
