Song Zhiqing received assurance from the Lu family and found an excuse to visit the guest courtyard to console his beloved concubine and child.
Lu watched him leave in high spirits, and her heart felt as though it had been stabbed with a sharp knife repeatedly, tears streaming down her face.
Nanny Zhou sighed and advised, "Madam, why push so hard to discuss family matters with the master? Wouldn't it drive him towards that woman?"
Lu wiped her eyes and said, "If I don't mention it, should I wait until he squanders the family fortune? You've seen it; his heart is entirely with that woman. Tell me, in the future, how much attention do you think Wei'er and her siblings will receive?"
The human heart is always biased, and now Song Zhiqing is clearly leaning in their favor. If she doesn't plan for her children, how will they marry in the future?
Nanny Zhou had no argument.
Having witnessed it, she too felt a deep sorrow.
