Why should women make life hard for other women? Lin Chen says she won't be a wicked mother-in-law.
The scholar's mother: Don't get so full of yourself. Your son is only a scholar, so what's the big deal? His wife is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
The period-novel mother-in-law: Don't be so biased you can't see straight. That couple love each other, and they're both hardworking. Why not give them a hand and help them become the first household worth ten thousand yuan?
The Duke's wife: That eldest son who got the whole family exiled needs to be taught a lesson. If he won't shape up, take away his title as heir. The third son and his wife are wonderful. If necessary, make the third son the heir instead.
It sounds good. It's over now.
