At dinner that night, Lu Liangwei finally found out the purpose of the Ji sisters' visit.
There was relief in Ling Lihua's voice as she told her story. "We met Ji Lingxiu at the frontier; she was poisoned at that time. I was worried that she'd cause trouble, so I wrote a contract in advance stating that we would not bear any consequences and made her sign it. I was a bit embarrassed at first because I felt that I was being unfairly suspicious of her—I never thought that those sisters would actually show up a day before Tingchen's wedding and demand him to take responsibility."
She ended her story furiously.
Only then did Lu Liangwei find out that her mother had saved Ji Lingxiu during her time at the frontier.
She was dumbfounded when she learned that Ji Lingxiu wanted her brother to take responsibility for her.
The audacity!
Not only did she not thank Mother for saving her, but she even demanded Big Bro take responsibility for her!
