After chatting for almost an hour, FangSu bid good night to the old man before leaving for her room.
"Lu, do you think she will listen to me, or end up like her mother?" Grandfather Fu asked Butler Lu who has been in the room when he talked with FangSu.
"Sir, it's hard to say. But Miss FangSu will likely offend you since she has a deep relationship with the daughter of the Bai family."
Grandfather sighed and shut his eyes as his thoughts remained unknown.
FangSu didn't go to her bedroom after she left her grandfather's study instead, she went to her mother's bedroom to look for her.
FangSu knocked once and entered without waiting for her mother's response. Her father wasn't around, so there was no need to wait for permission.
"Mum, you're not asleep yet?" FangSu asked as she went to her on the bed beside her mother..
"I was waiting for you." Fu Hee said as she managed a smile.
"You knew I was coming to meet you?" FangSu asked in surprise as she thought it was that obvious.
"It was very obvious. What did you come to find me for?" Fu Hee asked as she knew her daughter came to see her because she had questions to ask.
"Mum, why is Aunty ChunHua playing your role and why didn't you tell me about that woman's pregnancy?" FangSu asked with a smile.
Fu Hee sighed before saying, "SuSu, it will be better if you don't know about it, I don't want you stirring up trouble."
"Mum what do you mean? I just want to know what happened while I was away." FangSu insisted. She knew that for her mother to act this way, something serious must have happened and that alone made her inquisitive as she wanted to know everything that happened.
Fu Hee was quiet and FangSu urged her the more.
"Mum, tell me that happened!"
Fu Hee glanced at her and began to tell her a bit of everything that happened while she was away.
"When I found out that Jia Li was going to marry your brother, I was so angry that I went to meet your grandfather to talk about it and that was the first day I talked to Bai Fen about your brother and Bai Jun getting married… your grandfather threw ink on me…sent me out of his study and asked me to pay for it… I slapped Jia Li in a fit of anger and your grandfather removed my mistress title and passed it to ChunHua… I gave Jia Li the wrong food after she was pregnant and I got scolded a lot…your brother reported me to your father and he left the military camp and came home to drive me out of the house. That day, he said I was going to go back to my Fang family and he cause a lot of scenes. I pleaded with him but he refused to listen, your brother saw what was happening and refused to get involved, it was like he wanted me to be punished."
When Fu Hee got to this point, she started crying. FangSu was already very angry while listening to her mother. She was only trying to compose herself because she wanted to hear the end of the story.
"Mum, don't cry, tell me everything. Don't hide anything from me." FangSu said as she pats her back soothingly.
Fu Hee wiped her tears and continued. "At last, it was your grandfather that came and gave me another chance, but he still punished me by deducting my monthly allowance for a few months and banned me from leaving the house for some time, and this was better than being sent back to the Fang family, so I thanked him. Your grandfather threatened to bring the Fang family down and give my head to them if I commit any more mistakes against Jia Li."
"Mum, you mean you went through such humiliations and pains because of that girl?" FangSu asked in a loud tone as her anger boiled.
She couldn't believe that her mother suffered so much because of an outsider.
"You have seen it. Everybody is against me in this house. I can't even go to visit your brother in his place, your grandfather banned me from going there." Fu Hee added in a sad tone.
"Is everybody in this house blind? Can't they see that woman is the one at fault? How could she come to ruin a happy family and she is comfortable with it! What about brother, did that woman charm him?" FangSu ranted on and on in anger.
"Even I don't know what went wrong with your brother. Initially, he refused the marriage when your grandfather first proposed it. Then along the line, I don't know what happened and he suddenly accepted the proposal." Fu Hee said.
Till today, she did the know the mystery behind Fu Hua accepting the marriage proposal he once rejected, even though the old man didn't care if he wanted the marriage or not.
"Mum, it's obvious that woman is a witch! She has charmed my brother and my grandfather and got everyone to dance to her tone. She is such a shameless woman and I'm going to teach her a big lesson before I send her out of this family." FangSu promised angrily.
She was very angry that her mother suffered so many losses because of Jia Li and also lost the respect she had in the family. She blamed Jia Li for everything that went wrong in the Fu family and swore to take revenge on her.
Fu Hee became alarmed when she heard FangSu talk about teaching Jia Li a lesson. She wiped her tears and said to her in an urgent tone,
"SuSu, even if you don't like that woman, don't go against her because everyone in the family likes her and she has them backing her, especially your grandfather. He wouldn't mind dealing with anyone that troubles Jia Li, he won't care if you're the one. Your grandfather dotes on that girl more than you can imagine."
FangSu's brows creased in a frown as she said, "What can grandfather do other than to scold me for a bit?"
