Lu Feiran couldn't understand Lady Lang's reaction. Her face paled once she heard about her daughter's difficulties, and yet she didn't dare to show herself to her own child.
According to Zheng Yue's story and Qiao He's investigation, Lady Lang had purposely left Zheng Yue at a public market at the age of six. The child wasn't able to speak their local language, and the director that managed the orphanage didn't bother to seek proper care for the young Zheng Yue.
"What do you mean? Will she be in trouble if she couldn't settle the rumors?"
Shen Yi and Lu Feiran heard the hint of panic on Lady Lang's voice.
"Hmm… depends how she plans to deal with it," Lu Feiran replied, finishing the Omurice in his plate.
Lady Lang stared down on her clasped hands, deep in her own thoughts.
"It isn't like I don't want to see her…" she mumbled but was loud enough for the two to hear.
