The servant girl came in slowly from outside, carrying a tray.
Aunt Su looked in horror at the wine jug on the tray.
She had long guessed her fate, yet when the moment truly arrived, she couldn't help but be terrified. She couldn't face death calmly.
She was only in her thirties, still so young, with countless good years ahead of her...
The servant placed the tray on the table, picked up the wine jug, and poured a full glass.
Aunt Su, as if possessed, asked, "Did Lady Wu send you?"
The servant girl didn't look at her, simply said, "It was the Duke."
Aunt Su let out a bitter laugh, the Duke, the only man in her life.
He never had an ounce of pity for her.
Her heart strangely calmed, and she asked the servant girl again, "What is it?"
The servant girl replied, "Crane top red, it's quick."
Aunt Su closed her eyes, reached out, and slowly grasped the wine glass.
Her hand shook uncontrollably, spilling some of the wine.
