Madam Lu was stunned for a long moment, unable to speak, her eyes vacant, as if pondering the severity of the situation.
Madam Cheng seized this opportunity to persuade the Lu family's Young Madam, who had remained silent all along.
"Young Madam, are you willing to be the descendant of a traitor for your whole life? You were once a noble lady of the Ducal Residence, yet now you live a life worse than those from humble households. Are you content with this?"
The Young Madam of the Lu Family shook her head timidly.
"Exactly, none of us are content, so we cannot just sit idly by!" Madam Cheng sighed deeply, "Right now, there's an opportunity for us to rise again, a chance for the Ducal Residence's grievances to be redressed. Do you want it or not?"
"Grievances to be redressed?" The Young Madam of the Lu Family became excited and said, "Are you saying that our ancestors never actually committed treason, that it was all a false accusation?"
