Lady Xiao Zhou heard that Fu Xiuen hadn't returned to steal her dowry, and only then did she feel at ease. But when she heard Pingping say that he came back to see her, she couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. "Pingping, don't say such things again in the future."
For the sake of an unknown woman, that man could even seize her dowry. Saying he returned just to catch a glimpse of her - no one would believe that.
If she truly held any place in his heart, he wouldn't have used such an attitude towards her upon hearing of her suicidal intentions the previous day.
In the end, Lady Xiao Zhou's heart was deeply wounded, and she neither dared nor wanted to place any more hope in Fu Xiuen, for fear of being hurt once again.
Now, the most important thing for her was to raise the children safely, and as for which woman Fu Xiuen wanted to bring back to the household, she would no longer concern herself, nor would she feel heartbroken for him.
