Jia Li freshened up and climbed on the scale to check her weight and after she recorded the number. She was all smiles because she didn't add again.
Jia Li went down for breakfast and saw the housekeeper, personally organizing the food on the dining table.
When the servants saw her, they all greeted her and went about with their chores.
"Mrs. Zu, what time did you return?" Jia Li asked as she sat down and fixed her gentle gaze on the housekeeper.
Housekeeper Zu smiled as she dished some food for her. "We came in very late."
"How come you all came back so early?" Jia Li asked curiously.
"Madam, please eat first, then I will answer all your questions." The housekeeper said to her with a polite smile.
Since she was very hungry, Jia Li ate her food quietly. The baby had to come first and then she was next.
After taking her drugs and sitting for a few minutes, Jia Li asked the housekeeper to go with her on a walk.
While taking walk outside, the housekeeper explained their encounter at the Fu House including the culprit, as she was opportune to learn about it before they were sent away.
"So, it was my sister-in-law. I don't know what I did to her that she treats me this way." Jia Li said in a sad tone.
"Madam, there is no need to care about her. You have the young master and the Old master by your side, so you don't need to worry too much." The housekeeper said to her.
Jia Li let out a deep sigh. She was about to continue talking when she heard the bark from Ocean. A smile appeared on her face and she immediately took a detour and went straight to find Ocean and her cute puppies.
The housekeeper was surprised with how fast her mood changed and quickly followed her.
"My babies!" Jia Li said in an excited tone when she the cute little puppies that were staring at her innocently.
Ocean barked at not being recognized and Jia Li rubbed her body and called out to her in a soft tone. Ocean seemed satisfied because she wagged her tail the next moment.
Jia Li couldn't squat or bend low to reach the puppies, so their trainer/caretaker helped her to pick the little puppies and put them in her arms.
Jia Li was so happy as she called their names and spoke to them while the housekeeper watched from the side. She didn't dare to get too close because of Ocean's presence.
When Jia Li was tired from standing, she left with the puppies in her arms. She was taking them inside the house with her.
Ocean didn't wait to be invited after her owner abandoned her because she immediately followed after them.
The housekeeper assisted Jia Li by the arm as they made their way inside the house.
Not long after, Jia Li got a call from an unknown number, when she answers the call, she heard FangSu's hoarse voice.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for what I did, it won't happen again!" FangSu apologized and before Jia Li could clear her confused mind, the call had already ended.
Jia Li was still trying to understand the mystery behind the apology when she received another call from grandfather Fu.
"Jia Li, this old man is sorry about what happened yesterday, I didn't take care of you properly. Next time, don't allow anyone to step on you. You can scold them as you like. You will be the next Mistress of the family, so you have to learn to exercise your rights and authority starting from today. If you have any complaints, you can report to me or Fu Hua. Alright, I've said so much, take care of yourself and my great-grandchild."
Throughout the conversation, Jia Li didn't find any opportunity to say anything to the old man till he finished talking. She could only thank him and say goodbye to him.
After the call, Grandfather Fu glanced at FangSu that was sitting with them at the dining area before looking away with a frown.
He made FangSu apologize to Jia Li before she was allowed to eat. FangSu was already famished after she was punished last night and when she thought she would eat,first thing after she woke up but Grandfather gave all of them a big warning before allowing them to come over to the dining room.
FangSu couldn't eat with her hands because of the injury she has so she could only rely on her mother who was sitting beside her, to feed her.
Grandfather Fu got irritated and asked Fu Hee to let FangSu eat by herself.
"She is not a child let her feed herself!"
"But father, her hands are injured, she can't hold a spoon." Fu Hee said to the old man with a worried gaze.
"If she can't feed herself, then she shouldn't eat!" Grandfather Fu said angrily. He didn't care about his beloved granddaughter's hand injury and wouldn't forget to keep punishing her with every opportunity that was laid in front of him.
Fu Hee wanted to talk but she met Fu ChunHua's gaze. Actually, she was trying to help her and gave a sign not to talk. If she enraged the old man, everyone will suffer.
Fu Hee held back her words and picked up a spoon before passing it to FangSu who was already in tears after being mistreated by her grandfather.
She didn't dare to complain or to let her cries get louder. She ate her breakfast in pain and struggle.
After breakfast, the doctor came over to treat her injuries and surprisingly, the old man released an expensive scar removing cream for his granddaughter's treatment.
Grandfather Fu's move was really confusing to Fu Hee and FangSu.
Fu Hee took the cream from Butler Lu and thanked him. FangSu said a word of thanks reluctantly after her mother sent a glare at her.
While FangSu was being treated, Fu Meixu called Jia Li to ask about what FangSu did to her and Jia Li mentioned the servants being called back for training.
Fu Meixu filled her in on what transpired in the middle of the night, how FangSu was punished and the episode during breakfast.
"…next time, she would have to think multiple times before doing anything." Fu Meixu said.
