A week passed in the blink of an eye. Since she was mostly recovered, Qin Huairu finally brought Mrs. Jia back from the hospital. Staying hospitalized any longer would have been a waste of time.
Technically, she shouldn't have been allowed back into the Courtyard, given that she had been driven out previously, but Yi Zhonghai had insisted on keeping her. He claimed that since there was no one else to look after the ailing Mrs. Jia, she should stay until she had recovered from her injuries, at which point she would be sent away. Mrs. Jia was delighted to finally be returning to the Courtyard. As for the condition that she leave once she was healed, she figured she could simply pretend to still be unwell; that way, they would have no grounds to force her out.
As soon as she returned to the Courtyard, many people noticed her, and their expressions soured immediately. They couldn't believe Mrs. Jia had actually come back. They all despised her and had no desire to see her return.
