Madam Yao bowed slightly: "Yes."
With the approval of Old Lady Gu, Madam Yao settled herself comfortably in Songhe Court.
Sure enough, in a little while, Mrs. Ling came by.
She was taken aback upon seeing Madam Yao.
Madam Yao smiled and said to her, "It has only been a day, why are you looking at me like this?"
Gu Chenglin had come crying to Mrs. Ling early this morning, claiming that Madam Yao was a villainous character, who has been privately meeting other men and even let Madam Yao escape; Mrs. Ling was already aware that the scheme last night had failed.
She marveled at how Madam Yao was so fortunate to have survived this ordeal!
Mrs. Ling, hiding her emotions, said, "Nothing much, it's just I heard the wife was ill, and I didn't expect the wife would come to pay respects to the old lady in her sick state."
Fearful of spreading her sickness to the old lady!
Playing it down, Madam Yao said: "Madam is really concerned about my courtyard."
