Madam Li was angry. She wanted to lecture Mr. Chu, but she did not expect him to lecture her instead.
Madam Li glared at Mr. Chu. "If you want to do this, do it yourself. I won't do it anyway."
Madam Li started to learn the way the madams in the capital dressed. She put on rouge, powder, and silk. However, she was still not accepted into the group.
If Madam Li didn't want to do it, Mr. Chu couldn't force her. "Just don't get into trouble. If you get into trouble, I can't protect you."
Madam Li was a scheming person to begin with. Now that she was in the capital, Madam Li was even more ambitious. It was useless for Mr. Chu to persuade her to keep a low profile.
Madam Li rolled her eyes and said, "Sanniang has been married to Yan for a few months, but her stomach is not getting any bigger. You don't seem to worry at all."
