Zhulan thought of the scarlet blood and felt finished, slightly nauseated. She sat up, got down from her seat, took a teapot, and poured two cups of water to settle her stomach before she felt somewhat relieved, "Someone from the Hou Residence came and provoked the pregnant Magistrate, and upon acting, took a life. One fell off a fake mountain and died on the spot, while another, after being provoked, fell into the lake and by the time they were pulled out, they were also dead."
None of the two people sent from the Hou Residence survived. They were clearly sent to become concubines, but the Magistrate used them as maids instead. Thinking about the one who fell from the fake mountain, Zhulan felt uneasy. Although it wasn't her own daughter that was schemed against, it indirectly involved someone else's.
Zhou Shuren furrowed his brows, "I think our wild ones at home are better."
