After dinner, Mrs. Ruiz seemed to remember something important. She pulled Hansen upstairs to the Study Room with a mysteriously secretive air.
As for chores like washing dishes and tidying up the table after dinner, Mrs. Ruiz naturally left them for Rachel to handle.
She was the lady of the Ruiz family, after all. It was impossible for her to engage in household chores.
Rachel was also considered a lady of the Ruiz family. However, in Mrs. Ruiz's subconscious, Rachel would always be a country girl, no different from a servant in the house. Therefore, it was natural for her to do household chores. Besides, Mrs. Ruiz was the mother-in-law; if she were to do chores while Rachel rested, it would be terribly unfilial of Rachel. Conversely, it was the natural order of things for her to rest while Rachel busied herself.
