Detested by her family, despised by her in-laws, Madam Lu held back her grievances, not daring to talk back to her mother-in-law at this time because things were no longer as they had been before.
If it had been in the past, she might have been able to argue back a few words when her mother-in-law spoke of a divorce letter, with her family backing her up, but now, what did she have? Her family now treated her as if she was toxic, clearly unwilling to associate with her, and besides, her family had retreated back to Lu Family Village, so how could they support her?
So, no matter how much Madam Lu hated things, she could only swallow her bitterness in secret, curse and berate Wufu privately, even made a voodoo doll to stick needles into and beat with slippers, but to go over and start trouble?
She dared not!
Zhou Xuennian dared not either!
