Chapter 31 No Escape from a Broken Engagement

The Madam Dowager asked Lady Tu and Wei Yuewu to have dinner with her. Lady Li, as the old lady's daughter-in-law, had to stand by and serve her mother-in-law with a smiling face before the latter allowed her to go. She didn't have any time to apply ointment to the wounds on her face. Wei Yuewu glanced at the dense blisters on Lady Li's face. Then she lowered her head with a cold smile. She waited on the Madam Dowager with even greater care, helping pick out fish bones for the Madam Dowager now and then. The meal went on with extreme attentiveness on her side, and the old lady was fully satisfied by her flattering gestures.
