Going Home Early

"Ah, Xia Zhe, he's married. Xia Zhe's wife is already expecting. Don't tell me you still want to persuade me to be with him," Zheng Yuan said.

"No, it's just that I heard Mrs. He talking about it just now and I was curious, so I came to ask you," Mrs. Zheng said.

Zheng Yuan knew that her mother had always been hanging out with the circle of rich wives in the capital.

The so-called circle of rich wives referred to a group of full-time wives from the rich and influential local families, who had nothing to do at home and would gather together for a meal and have tea, or to go shopping, doing floral arrangements and going for beauty treatments.
