Lady Zhao's sorrowful and feeble appearance not only drastically overturned Wong Qiao's previous understanding of his mother, but it also made him feel helpless. Yet he didn't want to give in, and for a moment, he stood there, at a loss for words.
Xiuqin, seeing Lady Zhao like this, softly advised Wong Qiao, "Cousin, we still don't know if this matter will succeed. Please agree to it for now. Auntie has been feeling unwell these past few days; don't upset her over this uncertain matter."
Lady Zhao cried out, "His heart has already been bought by someone else's small favors; how could he still care about my life or death?"
At this moment, Xiao Cui's voice came from outside, "Granny, Old Master Qi has sent someone to ask if Third Master has returned and if there is any matter."
