Lu Shi carefully relished Nanny Gong's words, and after a long while, tears finally fell.
Nanny Zhou persuaded, "Madam, please don't be upset. Nanny Gong meant well."
"I know, I just hate that I still held onto my illusions. Only today do I realize how foolish I've been." Lu Shi mocked herself with a smile and said, "Nanny Zhou, have them bring water to serve me so I can freshen up."
She too should face reality.
Nanny Zhou sighed and summoned Ru Yi and the others to serve her.
Lu Shi first had them wet a cloth with hot water to apply on her eyes, her mind constantly replaying Nanny Gong's words.
That wretched Bai Shi could remain so calm, taking the child without crying or fussing, showing her resilient nature.
A concubine with such character is not good; it proves she can endure and plan her future avenues, making her hard to deal with.
No, now it's not about whether she can be dealt with; it's about being vigilant against her.
Lu Shi felt somewhat anxious and uneasy.
