Ye Qiuqing scoffed. She just couldn't stand Yao Xue Mei's weak and pitiful demeanor. Had she ever deprived her of food or clothing? At least after marrying into the family, all she did was make her work a bit more.
Moreover, did the work she did at the Yang family exceed what she did at her maiden home? Didn't she have better food and clothing here than back there? She acted as if she was being mistreated, making others think she was a horrible mother-in-law.
And how about the two children she raised? Among the other three grandchildren, which of them wasn't close to her?
She had her grievances against those two, but she never mistreated Yang Shuliang and Yang Xiudan. Yet, these two children were never close to her since they were young. Who would believe there isn't something fishy about this? Even if Yao Xue Mei didn't do it intentionally, it was her subtle influence.
It's no surprise she's biased. Who doesn't love a sweet-talking child?
