章節 228: Chapter 228 Blindfolded by Lard

At nightfall, Zhou Xueli returned to his own room from Old Lady Zhou's, where Lady Liang was sitting by the table sewing their child's clothes. She hurriedly stood up upon seeing him arrive.

"Please, sit down," Zhou Xueli said as he took a seat by the table, pouring himself a cup of tea to drink.

"How is Mother?" Lady Liang asked.

Zhou Xueli replied, "She said she had a headache, applied some medicinal oil, and has already lain down."

Lady Liang then asked, "Was Big Brother also accompanying you in the main room the whole time?"

Zhou Xueli nodded.

"Did they mention anything?" Lady Liang pressed anxiously, "Did they reveal what's going on?"

Zhou Xueli was taken aback, "Why do you say that?"

Lady Liang shared what she had heard today, her worry evident as she said, "I'm wondering if something significant has happened. Otherwise, why would Mother say such things? It sounded really serious, what's more, she was so angry."

Zhou Xueli hesitated, "Could it be a misunderstanding?"
