Zhou Xiuer returned somewhat absent-minded to Madam Lu, who rushed to her upon seeing her daughter's changed attire.
"Where... Where did this come from?" Madam Lu trembled as she touched the clothes and jewelry on her daughter.
How long had it been since she last saw her daughter dressed like this?
Madam Lu plucked a golden hairpin from Zhou Xiuer's head and casually inserted it into her own empty bun, a satisfied smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Stupid girl, I'm asking you, are you mute?" Seeing Zhou Xiuer not responding, Madam Lu gave her a pat.
Zhou Xiuer jolted, came back to her senses, looked at her mother, and said hesitantly, "Mother, you were right, they are indeed trying to please us. They have to please us!"
Madam Lu was slightly taken aback, pulled her to sit on the bed, and asked, "What's going on? What did you find out?"
Zhou Xiuer said, "Mother, do you know what Wufu's current status is? How respected she is?"
