Madam Zhou sat on the couch, holding a cup of longan and jujube tea in her hands, listening quietly to Madam Lu's tearful complaints about the events that transpired, how they ended up here, the hardships they went through, almost losing their lives and so on.
As Madam Lu spoke, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Seeing that Madam Zhou was unmoved, her heart sank, and she said, "Meiniang, I know your eldest brother is useless, but after all, blood is thicker than water. You can't just stand by and watch them die. Even Dajun is caught up in this! If you don't save them, they'll be doomed."
"You've been here for over a month now, haven't you?" Madam Zhou looked over and said, "Are you sure they're still alive?"
Madam Lu's face turned pale.
She hadn't considered this issue, only thought of seeking help, without thinking, if Zhou Xuennian and the others can hold on.
"They wouldn't just be beheaded without reason, would they?" Madam Lu said, her lips trembling.
