"What are you standing there for? Come, someone throw them out!" Cong Ge shouted, and immediately people entered from outside.
Wu Zhen and the City Lord's wife exchanged glances before obediently exiting.
They had no justification in this matter.
Once outside,
The City Lord's wife glared fiercely at Wu Zhen, "Where on earth did you hear that news?"
Wu Zhen turned pale; she had overheard the maids talking while she was bathing and dressing.
But she dared not say it.
It would be too embarrassing to admit.
At that moment, Huai Yu approached, her voice hoarse, "Mother."
As soon as Wu Zhen saw her, she directed her anger at her daughter, "Why didn't you stop me just now?!"
With that, she raised her hand and slapped her daughter across the face in front of everyone.
Huai Yu's face was turned aside from the blow, and it took her a good while to recover.
