Zou Jiang, a scholar, deeply respects the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate lineage, and kindly reminds Mrs. Zou, "Madam, when you see the Old Master later, be careful not to say anything unpleasant. If you anger the Old Master, everyone in your household will suffer the consequences."
Having been crying, Mrs. Zou hurriedly asks upon hearing this, "Housekeeper Zou, what do you mean by that? Has the Old Master misunderstood something?"
Zou Jiang responds, "Madam, there's no need to ask further. Just remember one thing: when your very life is at stake, be prepared to make a sacrifice to survive."
At stake... Make a sacrifice to survive!
Even if Mrs. Zou is naive, she knows that this hints at a major peril threatening the lives of everyone in her household.
Upon hearing this, the wives of Zou Yuqian and Zou Yunkun both turn pale with trembling teeth.
