They heard Madam Meng's voice weak, her face haggard, her long neck bent, as she resignedly said, "I'm willing."
The prefect was extremely satisfied. He chuckled twice and said, "That's right. A family should always be harmonious."

After the court session ended, Ma Bao stood up from the ground with a smug look on his face.
When he looked at Wei Wei, his eyes were full of malice: "Good granddaughter-in-law, your aunt and I will go back to freshen up first."
Having said that, he swaggered away, pushing aside the crowd that still hadn't left, and walked off in an extremely arrogant manner.
Wei Wei was helped up by Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Qiao'er.
Because I had been kneeling for too long, I felt dizzy when I stood up. If someone hadn't been there to support me, I probably would have fallen down again.
