Emperor Hao frowned, a rare occurrence.
Given the short time that had elapsed, the matter was somewhat difficult to handle.
Wu Changcai was still trembling as he continued to speak while prostrate on the ground, "The night it happened, her sister-in-law got up to use the restroom, and I heard the door. She must have found out, and I almost died of fear at that moment, thinking they would catch us in bed again, but nothing happened. She behaved differently than before—it was as if she was giving us her blessing. I'm certain she would've told the rest of her family, yet they stopped caring about us. From then on, I would sneak over to her place at night, causing a racket without worry of being discovered by her family. Later, when I noticed her family's living conditions had improved, I knew she must have brought back a substantial amount of money. That's why, even when they heard noises, they did nothing and allowed us to carry on recklessly."
Xue Shi also shivered.
Out of anger.
