It wasn't because Mother Wei enjoyed being fawned on, but because Su Meng had spread the news that she had been in prison at Grandfather Wei's birthday banquet. She had become a joke in the circle.
Everyone laughed at her, saying that she, the dignified Madam of the Wei family, had actually been tricked by her own daughter-in-law.
In their circle, there was no such thing as being stepped on by a daughter-in-law. In other families, it was the mother-in-law who punished the daughter-in-law, but in her case, it was the opposite. It was the daughter-in-law who punished her.
Not only would those rich ladies mock her behind her back, but they would also sneer at her in front of her. This really made her lose face.
If not for Grandfather Wei's protection, she would not have let Su Meng off so easily.
