It's been more than two weeks since her mother showed up in Cloud Mist Inn and had a confrontation with her. Tang Zhelan thought that her mother would return and pester her to come back to the city with her, but Lady Tang never showed up again.
She supposed that her mother understood now that she wouldn't be able to change her mind that easily and follow their request to settle down with the man they deemed worthy to become their son-in-law.
The news of the rift between her cousin, Tang Moyu and the Tang family reached her ears. It wasn't easy for her to ignore what was happening back in Shenzhen. If the empress succeeded in crushing the Tang family with her own hands, wouldn't that mean that she and the rest of the Tang daughters would eventually get the freedom denied to them for generations?
