In the Chunhui Hall, Wu Lihong was sitting on the Arhat bed with Old Madam Wu, discussing private matters.
"Mother, why did you stop me just now? Are we really not bringing Madam Zhou back? If she gives birth to that child outside, it will bear the reputation of a child from concubinage!" Wu Lihong couldn't understand why his mother stopped him.
Old Madam Wu said, "Eldest son, all these years, you only have Yuyu, and just one concubine-born daughter. Have you never wondered why?"
Wu Lihong was taken aback and said, "Mother, do you mean Madam Wang has been up to something?"
Old Madam Wu didn't answer him directly and said, "The inner chambers are far more filthy than you imagine. I won't speak of her, but women all have personal motives. The past is the past, and the future is the future. In your main household, having only Yuyu is insufficient. You should give him a brother to support one another in the future."
