Zhu Yan realized Yuan Lan's intention—Yuan Lan wanted to make a scapegoat kill someone!
If such a thing were to be exposed, the Zhu Family would not be able to mix in Beijing anymore.
For the sake of her own and the Zhu Family's future reputation, Zhu Yan disagreed with Yuan Lan's selling Lu Xiaoyou to the Secret Garden.
And then, Yuan Lan told Zhu Yan something.
It was about something Zhu Chengshou drunkenly mentioned to Yuan Lan.
Zhu Chengshou said that Lu Xiaoyou's mother was still alive; she was just pretending to be dead.
Once a spouse dies, the widowed party like Zhu Chengshou would be free to remarry.
Yuan Lan was startled to hear that Lu Xiaoyou's mother had faked her own death and immediately asked if Lu Xiaoyou's mother would return.
Zhu Chengshou stated at that time that as long as Lu Xiaoyou was still around, her mother would surely come back.
