After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

Lin Youan and other people from the Chu family were sitting in the front hall. When they saw the eldest lady of the Chu family pulling his mother over, they quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and apologized very skillfully.

"Aunt, I'm sorry. It's because I didn't explain things clearly to my mother and the others that I got my third uncle involved. Youan is really sorry."

Qiao stepped forward and helped him.

This child, who was born smart and tempered by hardships, is much more sensible than his grandson. No wonder his husband looks at him differently. Who can not like such a child who is so clear-minded, humble and filial?

Patting the child's shoulder gently, Qiao's plump face showed a kind smile.

"They are all our own children, why should we be so polite? You are just a little kid, but you are always rushing to take the responsibility, which makes us, the elders, seem incapable of educating the younger generation.

Don't think too much. You are just a kid, just focus on your studies. Adults will take care of their own affairs!"

"Yes, I will teach you a lesson, kid!"

The Chu family really had great goodwill towards them. Chu Chi might not understand it very well, but Lin Youan knew it very well in his heart, so he had special respect for the Chu family.

"Auntie!"

"Mother-in-law!"

"grandmother!"

"Great grandmother!"

The other members of the Chu family also stood up and saluted Qiao. They were originally busy with their own things, but suddenly heard the noise coming from Zhixing Courtyard, so they all rushed over.

"Okay, okay, there's nothing to do here at Zhixing Academy, so you should all go and do what you need to do. Don't gather here. If you delay anyone's homework again, you'll have to wait and see if your father will punish you when he gets back!"

Upon hearing this, the little ones of the Chu family stood up, bowed and left, and ran to the study. They hadn't finished the homework assigned by the teacher yet, and they might be doomed if they waited!

After sending the young wives back to their rooms to look after their children, Qiao pulled her niece to sit on a chair and asked the servants to serve her some snacks and honey water. Only then did she take some time to greet her mother-in-law who was sitting at the head of the table.

"mother."

"Well, is San'er okay?"

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing serious. Just now, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan said that he consulted Doctor Sun when he was in the palace, and they were just minor injuries. Now he and General Shen are applying medicine to San'er in the room!"

The old lady heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Then she nodded to her eldest daughter-in-law with a very kind look. It could be seen that she was not in a good mood, but she still raised her arm with a concerned look and pointed to the chair on the left.

"Come sit down and take a rest. You have to worry about everything at home and outside every day. I know you are tired."

As the eldest daughter-in-law, she was the face of the Chu family. The old lady was a very qualified old lady. From the day when she handed over the household to Qiao, she always knew to maintain the status and dignity of the eldest daughter-in-law.

"I am not tired."

Qiao said this from the bottom of her heart. Over the years, she has always been very grateful for her mother-in-law's kindness and love, and has always been extra dedicated to taking care of everyone in the mansion, young and old.

"Mom, you haven't been feeling well lately. Why didn't you just rest in the yard? Why did you come here?"

He walked two steps to the side and sat down on the chair to the left of his mother-in-law. He smiled and took over the old lady's conversation, asking about her well-being as usual.

The old lady is the pillar of their family, and there must not be any mistakes.

Moreover, now is the most confusing moment, and everything is still uncertain. What if something happens to my old lady and the whole family is in mourning? What kind of drama will His Royal Highness Prince Xuan have?

Mrs. Qiao glanced at her two sisters-in-law and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb your mother-in-law casually?"

Bai couldn't hold back and spoke out directly.

"No, sister-in-law, why are you looking at us? It wasn't my third brother's wife and I who invited mother here. It was your third brother's screaming that was so loud that it could be heard from two miles away. Mother is not deaf or blind, so if she heard it, could she come over to see us?"

Qin didn't say anything, but just nodded in agreement, and curled her lips, expressing her dissatisfaction with her sister-in-law's random guesses, which was obvious to her at a glance.

Mrs. Qiao just smiled and gave them a cold look.

"Look at you two. You are never so clever when doing serious work, but you are of one mind when picking on me! Instead of wasting time on talking to me, you two should hurry up and do some serious work.

My third brother's wife went to the accounting office to check the accounts from the past period. She was so busy with the gift giving during the New Year holidays that she had no time to check the numbers.

Second brother and sister-in-law, go to the big kitchen and give those who need to be beaten a good beating. Otherwise, if someone causes trouble for me later, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Those who didn't know what was going on just listened with their ears, such as Chu Chi and his mother in the room. Bai and Qin, who could hear clearly, suddenly felt a jolt in their hearts.

What does sister-in-law mean by this?

The purchasing business in the kitchen and the interpersonal relationships in the accounting office have always been managed by the second and third wives over the years, and the eldest sister-in-law is usually only responsible for coordinating the overall situation.

Why would I single it out for mention today?

Could it be that their subordinates made some mistake?

They had their doubts in their hearts, but the eldest sister-in-law was still giving them face, so they naturally had to accept it quickly. Whether there was anything wrong, wouldn't we know it after checking it out?

"Yes, I'll go to the big kitchen later."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll go check the accounts in a moment."

"Ah."

Since her younger brothers and sisters could understand, Qiao stopped talking without further ado. It was not worth damaging the harmony and reputation among the sisters-in-law over such a trivial matter.

The old lady never said much about how the eldest daughter-in-law managed the household. Some people become more confused as they age, while others become more clear-headed as they grow older. This old lady belongs to the latter.

She knew very well that the eldest son's family was the one supporting the Chu family, and the others who were protected and cared for had to listen to the arrangements of the eldest son and his wife. Only by working together could the family's descendants be protected.

The old lady looked at her heartless granddaughter who was squatting nearby, eating snacks and listening to the fun with her ears perked up, and she couldn't help but sigh again.

This silly child who causes her so much worry makes the old lady more worried than that stubborn girl Chenghua.

Hua'er passed away early, leaving behind such a noble daughter of the royal family. As an old woman of a minister's family, she could not say anything or do anything, and could only watch as Concubine Chen taught her granddaughter to go further and further astray.
