She peeked at the bowl of soup for Lin Ruyi.
"Mom has never served me soup before, why be so polite to Ruyi?" Qin Xue's tone was a bit cold, and she couldn't tell if it was jealousy or anger.
Madam Ji's hand paused, but in the end, she still placed the black chicken soup in front of Lin Ruyi.
"Ruyi is a guest, you're family, naturally it's different. Do you still need me, as a mother-in-law, to serve you soup?"
The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been deteriorating with each passing day. The longer they lived together, the more they despised each other.
They used to get along quite well, even going out shopping and dining together. Now, it had turned into a battle of wits, giving Ji Chun a headache.
"I'll serve you. It's just a bowl of soup after all."
Ji Chun, seemingly feeling guilty, obediently served a bowl of soup for Qin Xue.
"Excuse me, that's my seat."
