The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 421

“Big brother, sister-in-law, you’re back!”

Huo Mei Shu's face was lightly made up, and she didn't look as haggard and disheveled as she did yesterday.

She softly greeted the couple, but didn’t dare raise her head to look at them.

Especially when facing Rong Dai, she didn't dare look at all, only staring at her own toes.

Rong Dai also didn't know what her young sister-in-law was here for, but as long as she wasn't bringing up what was said this morning, there was no problem.

"Come in first," she said, walking in front with Huo Shao Ting.

Huo Mei Shu followed behind the couple like a primary school student who had done something wrong, very nervous after entering the villa.

"Big...big brother, I've come to apologize to sister-in-law!"

She hadn't changed her shoes, just stood behind the door with a flushed face looking at the couple.

Huo Shao Ting pursed his lips without speaking, only looking at his wife with puzzled eyes.

Rong Dai hadn't told him about the unpleasantness with her young sister-in-law this morning. She looked at Huo Mei Shu, "You don't need to apologize to me, as long as you don't make that request again in the future."

Huo Mei Shu shook her head like a rattle drum, looking at her with very guilty eyes.

After she had gone home today, she was scolded by Grandma. If not for Grandma, she really would have almost been brainwashed by her own mother!

She was originally unwilling to believe it. How could Mom take advantage of her?

Later, Grandma made a phone call to Hainan in front of her. As soon as her mother Lu Zheng heard it was the old lady's voice on the phone, her arrogant attitude extinguished.

With just a few words, Grandma made her mother Lu Zheng baldly confess everything herself. She simply couldn't believe those words had come from her mother's mouth!

Yesterday when getting off the plane, Second Brother had also told her not to listen to what Mom said, and not to get involved in this matter, otherwise things would only get worse.

She didn't listen, so that was why she had made such an offensive request to sister-in-law this morning after Big Brother left.

She had already forgotten how she was thinking this morning. She just kept seeing her crying mother in her mind over and over, and she couldn't help feeling heartache.

Now when she thought about it, if she had put herself in sister-in-law's position, she probably would have exploded with anger on the spot!

She thought sister-in-law would tell Big Brother about this, but apparently she hadn't.

Huo Mei Shu was sensitive, and her eyes instantly turned red again. Rong Dai was younger than her, yet what had she done?

"No, sister-in-law, I must apologize for this!"

She shook her head and looked at the couple with brave eyes.

"I shouldn't have made such an offensive request to you sister-in-law. Grandma scolded me today, and later made a call to Mom."

"I didn't expect...Mom just wanted to take advantage of me."

Huo Mei Shu said in a self-reproachful, lost, and pained tone. Her mother's words on the phone were still echoing in her mind even now.

Rong Dai looked at her. This silly girl.

She hadn't held her accountable for the matter this morning, having guessed that she was influenced by her mother-in-law.

She had just stopped her from speaking it out because Shao Ting was present.

If Shao Ting knew the young sister-in-law had made such a request of her, he would be furious when angry, which the young sister-in-law couldn't withstand.

But now the young sister-in-law's words also surprised her. She could understand mother-in-law being distraught after enduring Yan Zhong Jun's actions.

But mother-in-law's current actions were simply as if she had become a different person.

For the young sister-in-law to say these words, it meant she must know something. Otherwise she wouldn't have come to apologize either.

"I'm sorry sister-in-law, can you forgive me? I...won't meddle in this matter anymore."

Huo Mei Shu looked at her with red, teary eyes, asking tearfully.
