Chapter 170 - 162: Scapegoat
"It’s my fault, I never imagined the third sister-in-law would do such a thing."
Lu Erbo Niang’s tears suddenly fell like beads cut loose from a string. She spent her life being strong, seldom willing to cry in front of her children. Now, revealing such a vulnerable side unexpectedly, it couldn’t help but make everyone’s nose sour.
...
"Grandma, it’s all my fault for making you sad." Seeing Lu Erbo Niang cry, Lu Yun secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that she could cry it out, for she feared a great shock would lead to some unfortunate incident.
"How could Grandma blame you?" Lu Erbo Niang finally got her emotions under control, squatted down, and wrapped her arms around Lu Yun. "Good child, it’s thanks to you that Grandma knows now; otherwise, your second aunt would have had to bear a lifelong stigma."
"Yes, who could have imagined the third aunt to be such a person? We also owe Xiaoyun our thanks. This year, your second aunt should give you double the New Year’s money," Lu Aimei added.
Lu Yun just gave a silly smile.
Lu Erbo Niang recovered her composure remarkably quickly. Next, she pulled Xia Yuan close and asked her in detail. Now that everything was out in the open, Xia Yuan no longer covered for the third sister-in-law and recounted what she knew.
