She recounted Ruxin's situation to Qiao Mai, and Qiao Mai furrowed her brow upon hearing it.
"That scoundrel is treating Ruxin like this?"
"Yes, I never expected it. Tell me, what have we done wrong? How can he treat Ruxin like this?"
Qiao Mai tapped the table with her fingers, deep in thought. "Come, let's go find Mayor Qian."
Lu Sanniang felt somewhat embarrassed. "How can I face him with such a shameful matter?"
"Like your daughter, you are as stubborn as a wooden block. In the future, you belong to him. If you don't turn to him for support, who else will you turn to? Besides, Mayor Qian has the resources. His people can investigate this matter and will probably uncover the truth much faster than if you do it yourself."
Qiao Mai held her hand and took her to Mayor Qian's house. After hearing Qiao Mai's words, Mayor Qian's face turned red with anger.
