Before going to the estate, Wufu also had to inform Madam Zhou, as it wouldn't be appropriate to leave for days without saying anything.
Madam Zhou was momentarily stunned when she heard that Wufu was going to the estate with Ah Jiu. She took Wufu's hand and sat her down on the beauty chaise.
"Wufu, who exactly is this Ah Jiu?" Madam Zhou recalled what Ah Jiu had mentioned about his family. "He came to pay his respects to me and spoke of his family, which is quite large, and he's the youngest child, which left me a bit confused. You and he are...?"
She looked at her daughter cautiously and asked, "Be honest with me, you and this Ah Jiu, are you, um, are you fond of him?"
Seeing the anxiety in her eyes, Wufu found herself smiling, then said, "I have told Mother before, Ah Jiu is from Beiyan, right?"
Madam Zhou nodded.
"Once you have given birth, we will go to Beiyan to be with him."
Madam Zhou widened her eyes, was this— for that Ah Jiu?
"You and him?"
