Zhu Xiuxiu sipped her tea as the Abbot questioned her.
"You arrived with the Ji Family's family members. May I ask what your relationship is with the Ji Family?"
As he observed Zhu Xiuxiu's married woman's hairstyle and her extraordinary attire, alongside their accompaniment of servants dressed in the Ji Family livery, the Abbot speculated whether her husband might be from the Ji Family.
However, he remembered that the Zhu Family were merchants and the Ji Family held influential positions within the court. It was unlikely that they would take a merchant's daughter as their daughter-in-law.
Unless the Ji Family had been attracted by the Zhu Family's wealth and taken Zhu Xiuxiu as a concubine. If that were true, this young lady from the Zhu Family would be terribly pitiful.
The Abbot, after much thought, cautiously inquired further.
Zhu Xiuxiu nodded in response and said, "Old Lady Ji is my mother-in-law!"
