Zhou Xuennian felt chills run down his spine when he heard his mother-in-law's curses, and could finally believe that his own mother truly intended to abandon them— so it had been many days since they were locked up, and not a trace of movement had been made.
No visitation, no release.
Madam Lu was even more agitated, her suspicions confirmed. She immediately pushed Zhou Xuennian and bellowed, "You see, I was right, weren't I? Your mother is biased and simply wants to see us dead! And you still didn't believe it!"
Zhou Xuennian hung his head, his eyes filled with both shame and anger, yet he could say nothing, because it seemed that the only ones who could get them out now were from the Yue Family. So no matter how much he hated it, he dared not retort against Madam Lu.
Seeing him subdued like a quail, Madam Lu felt a surge of pride. Clearly, a woman needed to have reliable kinfolk. Look, with her family backing her, he didn't dare to shout at her anymore!
