Madam Hou pulled the Sixth Young Lady and turned, walking out of the living room and into the courtyard, where she saw Mrs. Xue hiding in the firewood shed with a face that gloated over the disaster.
She couldn't be bothered with her, picking up the bundle from the ground.
Lord Shu pursued them a few steps, "Madam Hou, you must think this through. Once you leave this door today, returning next time won't be so easy. If you're willing to admit your mistakes and obediently serve the family well, I might still give you a chance."
Madam Hou had never been deeply connected to Lord Shu, marrying him initially to escape the brothel.
Little had she known that escaping the brothel would not spare her from a life of distress, a situation no less grim.
Her only solace was her caring daughter.
Therefore, leaving Lord Shu shook her not at all, she even wished she could leave right now.
Unfortunately, the grain she had saved had all been devoured by these scoundrels.
