When Widow Xie and Hu Liang returned from town and heard what happened, they were so furious they wanted to go to the Jiang family and settle the score.
They had gone to great lengths to keep it a secret, but they never expected someone to steal the method—and for that someone to be Tian Jiao of all people.
"She's just as disgusting as her mother!" Widow Xie had never liked that mother-daughter pair. "Wuan, why won't you let us go and confront them?"
"Going there would be useless, aside from getting into another shouting match. Besides, even if we don't go, they're probably having plenty of trouble among themselves right now."
Ji Huan had only threatened to take Tian Jiao to the magistrate to scare her. This era didn't have an intellectual property office; how could she sue for patent infringement?
