Chương 259: Chapter 258: Su Ziqin Takes Revenge_1

Apart from two legitimate heirs, Old Master Wu's concubine had also given birth to a son and two daughters from a lesser branch of the family.

The lesser son was of age but neither talented in literature nor martial arts. Relying on Old Master Wu's connections, he worked as a clerk in the local government, often hanging out with a group of idle, rich young men.

One of the daughters was seventeen, and the other fifteen, both living in their boudoirs and yet to be engaged for marriage. The sisters happened to meet Li Meng during their outings and became acquainted with her, sparking frequent visits between their families.

Madam Wu was kind-hearted and treated the stepchildren fairly.

When Li Meng visited the Wu family, she was never given the cold shoulder; on the contrary, because her cousin Su Ziqin was studying at the Imperial Academy and would become a Female Official in the future, the Wu family held her in high regard.
