Lady Wu was not unreasonable. She knew that Lady Shen had been delayed and that her own son was the culprit, so she really couldn't bring herself to ask Lady Shen to be kinder to her son.
In truth, Lady Shen, though lacking in affection, did not neglect in taking care of her son.
However, as a mother and a woman, she could naturally tell the difference between love and indifference.
If it were any other mother-in-law, as long as the daughter-in-law was respectful and careful in serving her son, what did it matter if there was love or not?
But Lady Wu and Old Man Wu shared a deep affection, so they naturally understood the difference between love and indifference.
Especially considering that her husband's life was not long, and she had no intention of living alone, in the future, it would be just her son left in the world. If he married a wife who didn't love or respect him, wouldn't there be no one in the world to love him afterwards?
