Mother Qi really did leave as she said they would. Although Cheng Suxin was angry with Mother Qi's actions from the day before, she wouldn't completely ignore the matter. She felt mad, yet she had prepared various gifts and local specialties for them to take back, just without speaking to her mother-in-law.
Qi Fenglian couldn't help but play peacemaker, tirelessly talking about their mother's wishes and hopes that Cheng Su would understand and not hold a grudge against an old traditionalist.
Cheng Su smiled faintly and said, "Elder sister, I too am someone who responds to gentleness rather than force. I have my plans and intentions. I will have a child, but not now. I've made it clear to avoid any future misunderstandings that might hurt our relationship."
"I know, I know all of that. You're a sensible person, and clever too. It's the Qi family's good fortune to have a daughter-in-law like you. Don't worry, I will talk to Mom and persuade her," Qi Fenglian hurriedly said.
