The young woman watched Gu Qingli eating gracefully. Did women outside refer to their husbands as 'their men'? How vulgar.
She collected herself and said, "Regarding today's incident, I heard about it from Nanny Ah Li when I returned. I know my husband was the one at fault first, so it's only right that he was punished. My intention is, if Madam requires anything, I am willing to offer it in exchange for my husband. What does Madam think?"
Gu Qingli took a bite of rice, then looked up at her and said with a detached air, "Aren't you afraid my demands will be excessive? And aren't you worried you won't be able to meet them at all?"
The young woman was silent for a moment, then shook her head. "I believe Madam will not make things difficult for me."
"TSK!"
Gu Qingli found it amusing. With such a venomous mother-in-law and husband, could this young woman truly be so naive? Believing her? Who was she kidding?
