Upon hearing this, Chuchu's heart leaped with joy.
'As long as I can get into Mr. Lu's courtyard, he probably won't say anything when he returns. And once I'm by his side, I have plenty of ways to truly become his woman.'
She bent her knees and curtsied in thanks. "Thank you..."
Before she could finish, another voice cut her off.
"Old Madam, Aunt, this person is a Yangzhou courtesan. My cousin has absolutely nothing to do with her. Don't let her fool you."
The newcomer was none other than Zhi Wan.
She had been listening outside the door for a while and had pieced together what was happening before she entered.
At her words, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed, and all eyes turned to her.
"What did you say? She's a Yangzhou courtesan?" Lady Lou's jaw dropped in astonishment.
Zhi Wan frowned. "Is Second Madam not aware? I thought Lu Lan would have told you, since she and Little Aunt Jinglan were the ones who brought her back."
