Mrs. Lu couldn't save her face after being scolded by her husband.
No one could possibly regret more than she did. She had berated herself a thousand times, even ten thousand times, for bringing Meng Xi'er home in the first place.
"How was I supposed to know? That girl, Meng Xi'er, she seemed so refined and gentle, but behind our backs, she was such a seductress? Just like her mother, they are like two peas in a pod..."
"Enough!" Mr. Lu's expression hardened, "Why mention her mother all of a sudden?"
Mrs. Lu stared at her husband for a moment before suddenly putting down her bowl.
Her face was terribly grim as she said coldly, "You are still defending her till now, aren't you? Don't think I don't know, among all her suitors back then, you were one of them!"
"Why do you remember things from so many years ago?" Mr. Lu knew he had misspoken and softened his tone, "Is this the time to argue? We should instead think about how to persuade Yebai."
