Madame Lu’s heart sank upon hearing Lu Qingtang’s words.
She instinctively wanted to retort, but the moment she opened her mouth, she realized that everything Lu Wensheng had said was, in fact, the truth. A flicker of guilt and unease flashed in the depths of Madame Lu’s eyes. She didn't like Lu Wensheng, but she had never intended to abandon her... The reason she had been hard on her before was simply to purge her of the bad habits she had picked up while living among the lower classes. But regardless of the reason, it did not change the fact that she had indeed treated Lu Wensheng poorly.
Unable to find a way to strike back at Lu Qingtang, Madame Lu turned her hostility toward Steward Qin. She glared at him standing at the doorway and snarled, "And who does your master think he is? How dare he try to snatch a daughter of the Lu family?!"
"I don't care who your master is, stay away from Lu Wensheng! Or the Lu family will not let you off!"
