My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 614: Zhao Family Retreats at

"You heartless and poisonous woman, how dare you be upset when it’s only right for the granddaughter of the Ye Family to come and serve for a few days? Fine, fine, let her go, take her away now..."

Just as Zhao thought she had achieved her goal, her smile blooming, she heard He add, "How much can a little girl do anyway? I, an old woman, still have to take care of her food and drink. I’m not pleased either. It’s good that you take her away, she’s just a bother here."

"Ah, mother has already said so, and as a daughter-in-law, I wouldn’t dare keep Qingzhi here and trouble you further, so I’ll take her away..." Zhao smiled delightedly, as if she had already seen all the fine things from Qingzhi’s possession transferring into her hands.

Ye Jiu’s heart sank, feeling an ominous foreboding.

He wanted to speak up, but He stopped him.

However, thinking of the turmoil Qingzhi would face once she returned to the second household, Ye Jiu felt very uncomfortable.

He sneered coldly, "Lately, the weather has been terribly cold, and I cough so miserably at night. I also find myself getting up frequently during the night. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

I’ve heard in wealthy households, daughters-in-law take turns tending to the sick through the night, even carrying out chamber pots.

Our house is now among the renowned, and we should start adopting the customs of those great households.

Don’t say I’m playing favorites as a mother-in-law, but starting tonight, you will take turns with the eldest daughter-in-law to come and take care of me. Since you’re already here, you will start tonight."

Zhao’s smile instantly froze on her face.

Coming over in the middle of the night to handle such tasks, are you kidding?

"Mother, don’t you have maids and servants by your side? And besides, I’m already six or seven months pregnant, coming over in the middle of the night with such a big belly isn’t convenient, is it?" Zhao tried to excuse herself.

But He would not be swayed by her excuses. "Maids and servants are still outsiders. Who can give the careful attention of one’s own daughters-in-law and granddaughters? Pregnant or not, who stops living their life because of it? There are plenty of women who give birth in the fields. You’re just being fussy. Do you think the baby in your belly, whose gender we don’t even know, is more important than your mother-in-law?"

In Dongyue, where filial piety is paramount, He’s words were a severe accusation.

However, it was all provoked by Zhao herself.

Thus, Ye Jiu didn’t feel pity for Zhao at all. Instead, seeing her embarrassed, he found it unusually comforting.

Indeed, his mother remained his mother no matter the circumstances, and even if the past few months had been peaceful and she had become more temperate, it did not mean anyone could take advantage of her.

Zhao’s face suddenly turned from green to pale.

Suddenly, Zhao clutched her abdomen, "Oh, mother, look, this child is really too restless, causing so much trouble. I really can’t handle serving you. How about letting Qingzhi, that agile girl, continue to stay and serve you? She works faster than me, and mother, don’t hesitate to have her do whatever is needed. It’s not good for a young girl to be spoiled. I really can’t bear it with my stomach in this state, I’ll head back now, okay!"

With that, Zhao clutched her belly and walked out, grimacing with each step.

Yet, her exaggerated behavior was visibly feigned to anyone watching.

After Zhao’s figure vanished, Ye Jiu gave He a thumbs up, "Mother, you truly are remarkable. Only you can handle a sister-in-law like that."
