Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiuxiu couldn't help but press, "What did he say? What... what exactly did he write in his letter to you?"
"His first sentence was to send his greetings. His second was to tell me that you are my daughter-in-law, Zhu Xiuxiu."
"As for the third sentence, he told me not to ask you about anything. He said I could pretend you don't exist or treat you like my own daughter, but I was not to ask about your origins, nor about the circumstances of your marriage to him."
"Is... is this really the letter he wrote to you? I don't believe it!"
Zhu Xiuxiu couldn't believe that this was all Ji Lao San had written in the letter to his mother when he sent her to the countryside!
"This letter was given to me when his men brought you here."
"However, he did send someone later to explain. That person said you have a carefree and boisterous personality, and he was worried that if you stayed by his side, you might be exploited and become his vulnerability."
