Madam Liu still held her breath, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood, and the children are still at home; I worry about them, so I won't go."
She had never intended to forgive Mrs. Liang in the first place. If Lord Lu was so kind-hearted as to use such a method to indirectly pardon Shitou, why would there be a need to cause so much trouble now? But of course, she could only think such thoughts to herself.
The government official was somewhat surprised; he had thought they would jump up with excitement. Instead, they were so indifferent and even seemed not to want to go, unaware of the great honor it was to be personally entertained by the County Chief.
Muniang managed a smile, "My aunt has some affairs to see to; I'm afraid she won't be able to make it, but I'll go."
The official quickly said, "Of course, that's fine!" If neither of them went, the County Chief would surely blame him for his inefficiency.
