In the past, it was Lady Ling who performed these tasks, and the villagers thought she was the legitimate mistress of the Gu Family. When they suddenly met the Yao Family's Matron, they were mistaken and asked if she was a concubine from the household, which quite agitated the housekeepers.
This must be the second trick of Lady Ling.
Using the unintentional remarks from villagers to irritate her.
Matron Yao wanted to laugh.
After all, Lady Ling has never been a mother. She does not understand that for a mother, being able to break the curse that her son would not live past fifteen and recognizing her biological child were all she wished in this life.
After visiting the villagers, it was getting late, and they should head back to the mansion.
They had just embarked on the journey back when it started to snow.
They had skipped lunch and were both hungry and cold, so Matron Yao had her maidservant send a box of pastries over to her three stepsons.
