Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

The doctor sent by Xiaotian was thanked by Xiaotian, though not directly, the doctor understood where Xiaotian’s gratitude lay and left without saying anything.

After returning, Xiaotian saw that Miss Jingjing was still causing trouble with her mother-in-law. Xiaotian was rendered speechless and didn’t want to intervene, so just watched from the side.

Seeing Xiaotian return, Mrs. Guo said, "You’ve been busy all day, just go back."

"Yes, mother."

And with that, Xiaotian took her leave.

Mrs. Guo watched Xiaotian’s departing figure with a sense of admiration. Xiaotian’s performance today was all noted by her, seemingly not vying or fighting, yet actually much better than the likes of Jingjing, who relied on her connections.

Were it not for her not being from a distinguished family, unworthy of her son, Mrs. Guo would have liked someone like Xiaotian to become a daughter-in-law of the Guo Mansion.

But fate always has its tricks.

Mrs. Guo sighed in her heart.

She still had to coax the little girl she had taken in.

After giving Jingjing her medicine and coaxing her to sleep, she then left.

Upon returning to her bedroom, she heard Mr. Guo’s sarcastic remarks, "Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the bait. She didn’t manage to deal with them but ended up being dealt with."

"Enough with the sarcastic remarks." Mrs. Guo shot a look at Mr. Guo and didn’t say much more.

She thought, knowing Jingjing’s character, after she feels better, she’d definitely continue to fight.

She decided to sit on the sidelines and watch, just to see to what extent Xiaotian could manage, and whether she could possess the demeanor she once had.

Mrs. Guo wasn’t wrong. Once Jingjing felt better, she immediately started planning her counterattack.

The next day she approached Mrs. Guo.

"Aunt Pei, I want to move to Sister-in-law’s other courtyard to live."

Mrs. Guo certainly knew what Jingjing meant; she wanted to go against Xiaotian. While she understood this, she didn’t break her silence. After all, Xiaotian was the daughter-in-law of the Guo family, and reputation still had to be taken care of. So she advised, "Jingjing, yesterday was just a misunderstanding. Your sister-in-law was indeed wrong to grab you, but at the time it was out of urgency, she didn’t think it through. I’ve already spoken to her, and she has been penalized with house arrest for reflection. As for the stomachache, you’ve truly misunderstood her. Your sister-in-law has a kind heart and would never do such a thing."

"I don’t care, Aunt Pei, I just want to move to the other courtyard."

"If you go there, then she won’t be able to stay in house arrest." Mrs. Guo said, "Your sister-in-law surely has to be with you."

That’s exactly what Jingjing wanted; how else could she get her revenge if she didn’t accompany her? So she replied, "Yes, Aunt Pei, just let Sister-in-law accompany me. Don’t worry, I won’t hold yesterday’s incident against her."

After saying that, she merrily headed towards the other courtyard.

Mrs. Guo watched Jingjing’s retreating figure and didn’t say anything, just opting to wait and see what unfolds.

At this moment, Xiaotian was indeed reflecting in the other courtyard. A guest of the family had an incident at her place, and even without Mrs. Guo’s words, she knew what needed to be done. Voluntarily imposing house arrest was beneficial for everyone.

Suddenly hearing Jingjing’s shout from outside made her furrow her brows, though she knew exactly what Jingjing was up to.

Her lips curled into a slight smile, well then, let’s see who can outmaneuver whom?

Actually, she didn’t want to fight at all; she just didn’t want to take blows passively, nor could she stomach the humiliation done to her daughter.

Standing up, her expressionless face instantly switched to a beaming smile. In fact, she didn’t like this version of herself much but was helpless, "Jingjing, are you feeling better?"
