Although Mrs. He had never suffered significantly in the family wars, Ye Jiu always had an intuition that Mrs. He's heart was actually filled with hatred and resentment. She shouldn't have been such a harsh person originally.
Including the fact that Mrs. He least liked the eldest brother and the second brother. Even the third brother who married into another family could make her feel a bit of pity, but only the eldest and the second brother, her own flesh and blood, were never cherished by Mrs. He in her heart. Moreover, Mrs. He was even kinder to Zhang's wife than to her own eldest son.
As for Zhao's, Ye Jiu thought that her status in the family was purely her own doing.
