Ma's marriage into the Lu family was not honorable in the first place. However, the two elders of the Lu family were kind and did not mistreat her in those ways. Over time, she herself forgot how she ended up relying on the Lu family.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, both Madam Ma and Lu Yancai looked very unpleasant and dared not utter another word.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, don't be angry. This is their fault. It's also my fault for spoiling them too much. I apologize to you." Chen said to Jiang Qinyu.
