The breakfast incident thus concluded, and the lady of the Hou family hurriedly left the grand Hou residence, said to be heading to the hospital to see a dentist.
Lu Xiaoyou felt no sympathy for her. If she hadn't been more cautious the night before, the person who would have needed to see a dentist would have been her!
After changing into a fresh set of clothes, Lu Xiaoyou prepared to leave. Hou Tingfu was also on her way to the company, and they descended the staircase together. Lu Xiaoyou asked her,
"What's the story with your stepmother, anyway?"
"She's crazy!"
Lu Xiaoyou chuckled. "She does seem crazy, but why did she turn out like that?"
Hou Tingfu pursed her lips, seeming reluctant to talk about it. "She became somewhat unhinged after her miscarriage."
So the lady of the Hou family had once been pregnant with her own child.
