A moment later, a servant came over and respectfully said, “Madam, it’s time to eat.”
Mrs. Shang gave a hmph and then said to Hai Tong, “Tong Tong, let’s eat first, after we finish eating, go upstairs, you try on those dresses from Xiao Fei and see which style you fit into, Great Aunt will buy you a few dresses and get your hair done this afternoon.”
“Since you’ve chosen to stand by War Yin and not be a canary in his cage, it’s always a good idea to change.”
“Besides, you want to learn these for life, and in terms of etiquette, Great Aunt will also teach you slowly, you are a smart child, I believe you will learn once you are taught.”
Hai Tong obeyed Mrs Shang’s arrangement and had no comment.
She might not be able to replicate her Great Aunt’s path, but she could try to become better, or at least not hold War Yin back.
“Come on, Yang Yang, let’s go eat.”
Mrs Shang picked up Yangyang, she really liked this child, she was so much like her sister when she was little, if she changed Yangyang into a little dress, she would look even more alike.
“Mum, my sister-in-law isn’t home?”
“She said she hadn’t been feeling well lately and had gone to the hospital for a check-up. Before Tong Tong came over, she called me and said she would go back to her mother’s house for dinner after the check-up and come back in the evening.”
Mrs. Shang would not limit the number of times her daughter-in-law went back to her mother’s house; she had a daughter herself, and if she married, she would expect her daughter to come often.
Some gentry and noble women would place many restrictions on their daughters-in-law.
“Why is sister-in-law not feeling well?” Shang Xiaofei asked more concernedly as her aunt and sister-in-law had a good relationship.
Hai Tong was also concerned about Lan Jing’s condition.
“She hasn’t called me yet, I guess she hasn’t got the results yet.”
Mrs. Shang said, “There won’t be any major problems, we have a medical check-up every six months.”
Speaking of medical check-ups, Hai Tong thought of what Zhan Yin had told her and thought, should she go to the hospital for a check-up too?
A few people sat down at the dining table.
Yang Yang will eat by herself, no need for adults to feed her.
It’s a lot less work.
Mrs. Shang had just picked up her chopsticks when another maid came in and said respectfully, “Madam, Young Warrior is here.”
