Old Madam Lu was furious, her chest heaving as her expression turned grim.
Seeing this, Lu Jinglan hurriedly patted the old madam's back to soothe her before turning to Lady Wei with a disapproving look. "Sister-in-law, we know you dote on Wan'er, but Mother meant no harm. Why must you speak so harshly and upset her?"
Lady Wei shot her a cold glance and said bluntly, "If you hadn't stirred up trouble today, Mother wouldn't have had to endure this so late at night. If you were truly sensible, you wouldn't be a constant source of worry for her."
Lu Jinglan's sharp nails dug into her palm. She lowered her eyes and spoke to Old Madam Lu, her face a mask of apology. "Mother, it was I who was thoughtless today. When I heard Jinzhi and the others were going to Jiangnan, I foolishly wanted to tag along. I even made you summon them for my sake, which made everyone unhappy. I won't be so thoughtless again." Her tone was cautious, her expression tinged with forced forbearance.
