Lady Wu said indifferently, "Those who don't want to leave the mansion, go back and pack your things and move to the west courtyard."
"Those who want to leave, stay behind to collect your silver and identity contracts."
Two women hesitated for a moment and walked out.
They thought they were still young, and Lady Wu was already old. They still had a chance to compete for the Duke's favor.
What good is leaving the mansion, if they still had to rely on men to live?
The one pretending to have fainted on the ground also got up and walked out.
About ten women were left in the room.
Lady Wu raised her hand, and these women took turns stepping forward to receive their silver notes from Lady Wu's chief maid, Lin Qiao.
In the end, only one woman dressed very plainly was left.
The woman wore only a single jade hairpin in her hair, and it didn't look like an expensive one.
