If Old Lady Zhou's gaze towards Zhou Xuennian was one of disappointment, then the look she gave Madam Lu was as if it was laced with poison.

"Mother..."
"Where have you been?" Old Lady Zhou coldly asked.
Zhou Xuennian's gaze flickered as he said, "Mother, didn't we just come back from Madam Lu's family home?"
"Did you come back from the Lu Family or from the county?" Old Lady Zhou scoffed.
Zhou Xuennian felt a jolt of alarm and his face showed his discomfort.
"Mother, what are you talking about, we…" Madam Lu began in haste.
