After waking up, it was already evening.
mother Zhang stood by the bed, looking at me with a tense expression. I rubbed my eyes and said apologetically, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you wake me?"
"Madam, um..." mother Zhang pointed behind me.
"Hmm?"
I turned my head in confusion and was startled.
Jiang Yehan's mother—Shen Xinyi—was standing behind me, though I didn't know when she had arrived. Her expression was serious, her brows furrowed, exuding an air of authority without anger.
"Auntie, why are you here?" I quickly sat up.
Shen Xinyi snorted coldly, "What auntie? You have no sense of propriety. I am your mother-in-law; you should call me Madam."
"Okay, Madam."
I complied readily.
Shen Xinyi glanced at me and said coldly, "Our Jiang family is a prestigious family that values propriety above all else. You need to be polite and follow the rules; do not bring shame to the Jiang family."
"Also, although you and Yehan have registered your marriage, you haven't held a wedding yet. The outside world does not know your identity, so keep a low profile recently and do not show off."
"Understood, Madam."
Shen Xinyi paused for a moment and then asked, "What is your name again?"
"Ye Zixuan."
Shen Xinyi frowned, "That name is not good; it's too rustic. Change it."
I took a deep breath and smiled, "Madam, my name was given by my grandfather; it cannot be easily changed. I hope you can understand."
Shen Xinyi reluctantly nodded, "Fine, a name is just a label; it doesn't matter what it's called as long as the person is respectable."
"Also, you and Yehan need to have children soon. The earlier you have them, especially a boy, the more secure your position in the Jiang family will be. If you can't bear a son, the Jiang family will never accept you."
"Did you hear that?"
"I heard you, Madam."
I always maintain my politeness.
Shen Xinyi's expression softened a bit: "That's more like it. Let's go downstairs to eat."
"Okay, ma'am."
I got up from the bed, preparing to head downstairs.
Suddenly, Shen Xinyi stopped me and asked, "How old are you?"
"25."
Shen Xinyi frowned again, "Why are you so thin? Is your health not good? With your condition, how can you have children?"
She looked displeased at mother Zhang, saying, "Make sure she eats more nourishing food to boost her health and get pregnant soon."
"Yes, ma'am."
Shen Xinyi turned back to me: "If you dare to let the Jiang family die out, I won't spare you!"
I couldn't help but think to myself, she's not the empress; why is she acting like a matriarch from a harem?
After Shen Xinyi left, I went downstairs with mother Zhang.
I couldn't resist venting to mother Zhang: " mother Zhang, isn't that lady a bit strange?"
mother Zhang looked troubled: "Madam, we shouldn't discuss the lady."
I became even more determined to live with Jiang Yehan and absolutely not with Shen Xinyi.
I sent a message to Jiang Yehan: [Your mom wants us to have kids soon.]
The next morning, mother Zhang stood by the bed with a strange expression.
I rubbed my sleepy eyes: " mother Zhang, what's wrong? Did the lady come for another surprise inspection?"
"No, it's not the lady..."
"Then what is it?"
"Sir has returned..."
"Jiang Yehan is back?"
I immediately woke up and excitedly got out of bed. "Where is he? I want to see him!"
"Madam, you haven't had breakfast yet..."
"I'm not eating, I'm not eating!"
I ran downstairs and looked around: "Where is Jiang Yehan?"
mother Zhang followed me down and pointed to the sofa: "Sir is over there."
I turned my head to look and was stunned.
Jiang Yehan was sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper.
He was wearing a white shirt, and the sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft glow on him.
The scene was harmonious and beautiful.
