44 Ye Xin’s Mother

"Xin? Xin! What's wrong?" Ye Xin's mother, Gao Wen, pushed Ye Xin's room door open and hugged her clearly furious daughter. Clearly distressed, she asked anxiously, "Who upset you, Xin? Don't cry. Why don't you tell mother what happened? Who bullied you?"

The Ye family had more male descendants and fewer female descendants this generation. Therefore, Ye Xin was spoiled and treated like a princess by the entire Ye family. The Ye family did not think their actions of over-indulging Ye Xin were inappropriate. After all, in their opinions, girls should be doted on and spoiled. Moreover, they felt a woman would only be respected by her in-laws if her in-laws could see how much they spoiled and loved her. This would not only prevent Ye Xin from being bullied but also strengthen her relationship with her in-laws.
