The next day, Zhulan took the newspapers she missed and attended the book club. She read quite a lot yesterday afternoon, and her head was now aching, her brows furrowed.
Su Xuan asked, "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"
"Hm, I've been too busy lately and haven't been keeping up with Empress Dowager Chen's novels. I read quite a bit yesterday."
As a fake book enthusiast, she didn't want her cover blown; she still wanted more of Empress Dowager Chen's autographs!
Besides, she couldn't afford to lose face if her cover was blown; how would she face Empress Dowager Chen in the future!
Su Xuan exclaimed, "Didn't you send every issue of the newspaper to Qi Prince Residence?"
"I want Empress Dowager Chen's autograph."
Su Xuan fell silent. Her mother-in-law was a fake book enthusiast who had fooled everyone in the capital. She subscribed to many newspapers each issue, and who in the capital didn't know Mrs. Hou was a devoted book lover.
