Chapter 180: Knocking on the Door

"Mrs. Liu was eager to marry into a rich family and has always harbored large ambitions. Bao'er was raised like a pampered young mistress from a young age. It wouldn't surprise me if they chose not to return after coming so close to the imperial capital!" Mrs. Lu felt it was more strange if they did return quietly.

"It's not acceptable for them to irresponsibly abandon their husband and son at home!" Shen Chengzu had his grievances against his sister-in-law.

"Believe me, Uncle, he wouldn't mind. The only thing he cares about is whether Bao'er can marry into a wealthy family, so he can rise with her. Besides, isn't it more comfortable for them to lead a licentious life while she's not here?" scoffed Mrs. Lu.

"Watch your language! There are children present." Shen Chengzu quickly interrupted.

Mrs. Lu abruptly stopped speaking.

"I heard that several houses on that street are residences for mistresses set up by certain individuals." Xiao'er shared what she knew.
