章節 82: Outrage

Nevertheless, Xu Feng remained composed. He had braced himself for this inevitable confrontation. Although Lady Xuan's words carried an air of authority, Xu Feng was not prepared to yield.

While a part of him longed to retort at the haughty woman, he struggled with the weight of modesty as a daughter-in-law. He was at a crossroads, struggling between his inner unrest and the expectations of his role within the Xuan family.
