Seeing Old Lady Zhou remain silent, Madam Lu felt a sudden pang in her heart and tentatively asked, "Mother, you couldn't possibly believe my husband's words, could you?"
Old Lady Zhou snapped back to her senses, glanced at her, and said indifferently, "Do you not have any idea how Mother and Daughter Wufu have been faring these past months?"
Madam Lu was caught off guard and fell silent, her mind racing.
How could she not know? The days that Wufu and her daughter had been living seemed to grow increasingly comfortable; they never worried about food or clothing and even had jewelry to wear and servants to attend to them. They claimed that it was all earned by Wufu herself, but was that really the case?
Was there not a hint of external help?
If what her husband said was true, that she knew the Lord County Magistrate, my god, that's a government official! How could they not live comfortably?
