Housekeeper Wu bowed, his expression icy cold.
He knew exactly what the Lady was referring to.
"Madam, although the Chu Family is the wealthiest merchant in Baiyuan County, Baiyuan Academy isn't like the Criminal Defense Bureau; it's not so easy for us to intervene. If we want to deal with Third Young Master, I'm afraid only Guardian Zheng can act."
"Zheng Xiguan has already sent Vice Guardian Hong, but it seems…he failed."
"Moreover, Zheng Xiguan wouldn't expose himself over an illegitimate son." The Lady's voice behind the curtain remained calm.
"Then…" Housekeeper Wu looked troubled. "If Third Young Master keeps hiding in the Academy, and Guardian Zheng can't intervene, won't we just let him grow unchecked?"
"Grow?" The woman behind the curtain, supported by her maid, sat up, a trace of disdain in her tone. "How much could a mere illegitimate son possibly grow?"
