Bab 139: Chapter 139: Obedience in Public, Defiance in Private

Madam Lu led Madam Zhou and her daughter into the courtyard. She had just thought to follow her mother-in-law's instructions and invite them to sit down in the hall first, but why should she?

Everyone was joyous about the marriage, except for her, suffocatingly miserable. Why should her mother-in-law make her suffer?

Since she was feeling bitter herself, why should anyone else feel any better?

Madam Lu changed her mind and said to Madam Zhou, "Mother and the relatives are all sitting in the main room. Ying Mei, would you like to go and greet them?"

Madam Zhou paused in her tracks, looking up towards the room where Old Lady Zhou was, hesitating.

Madam Lu waited leisurely; after all, if her mother-in-law blamed her later, she could just say it was Zhou Yingmei who insisted on going to pay respects, and she couldn't stop her.

Wufu followed Madam Zhou, catching a glimpse of Madam Lu's calculating expression, and her gaze darkened.
