Wenqian became angry and reprimanded her, "Wu Lina, how can you disrespect your elders? Is this what I have taught you? Have you forgotten manners in these four years when you were all by yourself?"

"Mother, I have a small request," said Wu Lina hesitatingly, unsure whether her mother would take it kindly or not.
"Tell me, dear."
"Mother, please don't tell my in-laws about papa. I am afraid that I won't be accepted if they come to know that I am a bastard child." Wu Lina sounded selfish as her confidence wavered. Was she too much in love with Yang Xinyu?
