"Miss Lu, this is truly the only way for now."
The wet nurse reminded Lu Rou. Regardless, Madam was the mistress of the Marquis's Estate; anyone with sense knew better than to clash head-on with her. Yet, Lu Rou had gone too far. It was one thing to abuse the young master Shen Nu, but she had used the Marquis's affection to repeatedly stir up trouble for the lady of the house. It was only due to Madam's kindness that she didn't settle scores with Lu Rou. If it had been anyone else, both Lu Rou and the newly arrived Aunt Chun would have been sold off long ago. Even if the old Madam had come to hold them accountable, there would be little she could say. And yet, Lu Rou persisted.
At that moment, Lu Rou paid no mind to the wet nurse's thoughts. Brother Yunan had once told her that he had long since grown weary of Xu Yuan's Courtyard. Otherwise, he never would have agreed to the baby swap in the first place. If she could enter the estate smoothly and secure control of the household, she would no longer have to suffer under Xu Yuan's pressure. The position of mistress of this estate belonged to her; how could Xu Yuan ever hope to compete?
