Chapter 99: The Proud Little Peacock

Lady Tang couldn't help wondering if the Tang Family might have spies from the county magistrate's house? Had the officials already extended their reach into their home? How terrifying!

At this thought, Lady Tang broke out in a cold sweat; engaging with an official's wife required utmost care when speaking.
