After Zhou and Chen Zhaoci paid their respects to Wu, they sat down on two rose-covered chairs opposite Ning. The maids and servants quickly served them covered bowls of tea.
After the two were seated, Ning continued, "Mother, we should think about this matter of my elder sister's divorce more carefully. If we divorce her just like that, what will people outside say about her?"
Wu looked at Xu Shao, who said nonchalantly, "Let them say whatever they want. I really can't stand that house anymore, not even for a single day."
Ning patiently said, "Little sister, if you don't want to stay in that house, you can come and live here. I'll prepare a courtyard for you.
