Lian Manman couldn't help but sit up wrapped in her blanket, peering out into the courtyard through a pane of glazed window by the kang bed.
Outside the Upper Room East Room, a lantern was lit. Lady Gu, dressed in a thin gown, was bending over tremblingly beneath the window of the east room. With a chamber pot in one hand and a brush in the other, and a bucket of water by her side, it turned out she was scrubbing the chamber pot.
Lian Manman understood; this was Lady Zhou's retaliation. Hadn't Lady Gu set a trap to marry Lian Xiuxiu off to a septuagenarian? So Lady Zhou made it so that Lady Gu could no longer sleep beside her husband. Moreover, judging by this, sending Lady Gu out in the dead of night to scrub chamber pots, Lady Zhou was certainly set on tormenting Lady Gu at night in the future.
Such torment, how many could endure it.
