The last time, the Lian Family was feigning illness.
That night at Baijie Hall, she provoked Mu Yuanjing and Mu Lianyu to the point of fainting, but it was just a moment of anger; it wasn't to the extent of actually falling ill.
It was merely to avoid some gossip and also to calm Madam Wu, which is why she remained in Fengyu Courtyard and did not step out. She also took the opportunity to observe how Du Yunluo would react when she suddenly took charge of domestic affairs.
Those who knew about the scandal naturally understood the reason behind the Lian Family's "illness," but for those who were unaware, the reason for feigning illness was truly unspeakable.
Family scandals should not be exposed; the Lian Family was desperate to keep it hidden from even Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Lu, let alone outsiders.
At this moment, hearing Mrs. Jiang Deng speak, it seemed like she knew the Lian Family was feigning illness; did she also know the reason behind it?
