Chapter 45: Under Suspicion

Mrs. Li trembled, knowing she could not escape punishment this time, as tears had already started to drop from her face.

Always fond of cleanliness, Mrs. Li was wearing a new set of winter clothes provided by the estate today, which included some cotton fabric that was very warm and comfortable.

This was, of course, ten times better than the coarse clothes she wore at home, not even in the same class.

"Mrs. Li," the Madam said with a stern and irritated expression she had never shown before, "I'd like to hear any excuses you might have."

"What excuses could she possibly have? Corrupting my son, this housekeeper seems honest on the surface but is actually full of deceit. She's taking revenge because I wouldn't let her go home to visit her family."

While the Madam was interrogating Mrs. Li, a pregnant woman walked in from outside, supported by her maid Jufeng.
