Old Lady Zhou mentioned the two words "prison cell," and Zhou Xuennian's face went through various changes. He immediately recalled the miserable days he had spent in prison, the inhuman torture. The whip scars on his body, only just fully healed, seemed to start throbbing with pain again, and it felt like rats and cockroaches were crawling over him…
Zhou Xuennian shivered all over, unwilling to think back on those days, his hands clenched tightly.
What deal had they made for him to be released from prison?
"You don't know? Your wife must know. When she urged you to go to Wufu's home, didn't she tell you?" Old Lady Zhou glared at Madam Lu with a chilling gaze.
Madam Lu, with a guilty conscience, did not dare meet her mother-in-law's eyes.
"We had an agreement," Old Lady Zhou said with a sneer. "Wufu would intercede on your behalf, and in return, we were never to set foot there again. I agreed."
