Madam Ru's face was ashen, allowing Madam Jiang and the others to gently console her, but she remained unmoved, her tears falling silently until Jiang mentioned her two children, which finally stirred her.
"Elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, why is my life so miserable, time and again, what wrongdoing has our third branch committed to deserve such disgrace?" She wept, pounding her fists and stamping her feet, "It's not even over some significant event that we suffered this misfortune. It was because of an external affair, and you tell me, when the children learn the truth, how will they cope? What authority does he, as their father, have left?"
Madam Song said, "The news has all been sealed off, there's no way the children will know, rest assured."
Madam Ru shook her head with a bitter smile, "How can paper wrap fire? If they don't know now, one day they'll find out the truth."
