Madam Wang developed a strong sense of crisis about her foreseeable future, and Madam Zhou, also a woman, felt the sa. She gradually saw the various aspects of the world more clearly and found her initial naivety laughable and absurd.
Initially, she thought that as long as she took the children and followed Wu Lihong to return to his family, even as a concubine, she and the children would have a place to settle down, no longer rootless, and could stand openly in front of people, no longer living in fear or instability.
But now, with one thing after another happening, those hidden faces began to reveal themselves, and reality turned out to be frightening. It turned out that everything was not as simple as she had thought.
In the end, she was too inexperienced, too naive!
Madam Zhou laughed at herself.
Suddenly, she felt a movent in her belly. She lowered her head; it was the child inside kicking. Madam Zhou’s mouth curved into a gentle and peaceful smile.
The child was hers, and they were connected heart to heart.
"Mother." Wufu walked in, seeing her smile gently while lowering her head, felt a bit relieved.
"Did the Commandery Princess and the others leave?" Madam Zhou sat up straight.
Wufu nodded and said, "I just saw them off."
Madam Zhou gestured for her to sit down, reached out to touch her face, and said, "Mother really gained knowledge today, the first ti seeing such noble people who didn’t seem haughty."
Wufu smiled, "That’s because you didn’t see her acting high and mighty. Just now, she almost had soone drag Nanny Liu out and beheaded!"
Madam Zhou was startled, "What happened?"
Wufu casually explained what happened at the side door, which left Madam Zhou stunned for a while, only to say later, "They seem to be quite friendly to you." She sighed and reflected, thinking that in the village, her daughter hadn’t made any friends her age, and now, the friends she made turned out to be noble girls. Is this fate?
No wonder she always said that everything would be worry-free with her around; it turned out that secretly, she had already forged many connections.
Besides connections, there was Silver Coin.
Madam Zhou did not know how much business Wufu specifically had; she only had an approximate idea about the estates and such, but didn’t know about the rest, nor did she ask.
She glanced around, everything used in the house were good items, including the food and the servants, which couldn’t be accumulated without enough Silver Coin.
Wufu proved with her ability that even without that man, they could live peacefully and won’t be easily bullied.
And the one still in her belly, the White Ghost Doctor said, was a baby boy. Once born and raised well, he would also be a support.
Madam Zhou bit her lip, making a silent decision in her heart.
"Wufu, are you sure you don’t want to acknowledge the Wu Family? Not even your father?" Madam Zhou suddenly asked.
Wufu’s heart jumped slightly, she nodded, "He doesn’t deserve to be my father!"
Madam Zhou bit her lip, "If that’s the case, then we won’t go back, we’ll live by ourselves."
"Mother?" Wufu was surprised; Old Madam Wu had rely sent soone over, but it was enough to resolve her decision.
Madam Zhou smiled bitterly, "It was naive of . I... it was selfish of , not considering your difficulties."
Wufu reached out and squeezed her hand gently, "Mother, don’t say things like that. Between mother and daughter, is there really anything to apologize for?"
Madam Zhou said, "Mother is useless, but in the future, Wufu, no matter what happens, I hope you consider your sibling bond and take good care of this child."
She took her hand and placed it on her own belly.
