"Liu Steward isn't protecting you? You're working for the second daughter-in-law, and something happened. Why isn't she standing up for you?" Chen Guanlou was quite curious.
Although he could guess some of the situation in the Hou Mansion, it was never as entertaining as hearing it from someone who experienced it firsthand. People love gossip, especially when it involves someone's misfortune or family disputes; such gossip is always in demand.
After all, he and the Hou Mansion shared the same ancestry, both surnamed Chen. It's not excessive for a Chen to laugh at another Chen's family drama, right? Just a little amusement to spice up a dull day.
"The matter blew up. The eldest daughter-in-law cried her heart out, threatening to die in front of the old lady. The eldest master didn't care, and the eldest lady didn't intervene. Then there was the second son of Zhang Censor's family. They cornered the old lady, forcing her to take drastic measures. The second daughter-in-law was so furious she fell ill, and as a mere servant, I had to stay in Tian Prison for a while. Only when the matter is resolved and Zhang Censor's anger subsides can I leave."
