Madam Wang developed a strong sense of crisis about her foreseeable future, and Madam Zhou, also a woman, felt the same. She gradually saw the various aspects of the world more clearly and found her initial naivety laughable and absurd.
Initially, she thought that as long as she took the children and followed Wu Lihong to return to his family, even as a concubine, she and the children would have a place to settle down, no longer rootless, and could stand openly in front of people, no longer living in fear or instability.

In the end, she was too inexperienced, too naive!
Madam Zhou laughed at herself.
Suddenly, she felt a movement in her belly. She lowered her head; it was the child inside kicking. Madam Zhou's mouth curved into a gentle and peaceful smile.
