"That Madam Liu certainly is resilient," Ming Lingyi remarked with a small smile after hearing the news.
The neighborhood around the secret brothels is hardly a peaceful place. I heard Madam Liu came from a respectable family; I wonder if she was terrified living in a place like that.
But from the looks of it now, this Madam Liu "won her bet."
From a secret mistress to the legitimate wife of an official, one could say it was a case of "hardship giving way to happiness."
If this hadn't been achieved by climbing over the flesh and blood of another innocent woman, Ming Lingyi might have even applauded her.
"Miss, are we going to Xinghua Alley today?" Xiao Chun was already rubbing her hands together, raring to go.
Ming Lingyi replied, "There's no time to lose. The sooner we investigate, the better."
