Lu, driven by determination, relentlessly persuaded and urged the wavering patriarch’s wife until she succumbed.
Opting for a seemingly easier route, the patriarch’s wife clandestinely instructed her son to accompany Zhao Shu to gatherings and ensure he consud enough alcohol to induce inebriation.
It was a calculated move, anticipating that sothing would transpire in such a vulnerable state.

Uncle Qing and the others were unwavering in their commitnt to shielding Zhao Shu, preventing any unwanted approaches.
As the Spring Festival drew to a close, the patriarch’s wife and Mrs.
Lu found themselves without an opportunity to execute their plan.
