Today's incident with Wu Dahu truly terrified Feng Chunling. If Wu Dahu really spread what happened today, the villagers would surely gossip about her behind her back, even if it were later clarified as a baseless rumor. After all, some things become true if they're repeated often enough. What's more, her affair with Liu Ergou was real. That was the most frightening part.
Without further hesitation, Feng Chunling grabbed Liu Ergou to leave the hotel, but he stopped her.
"Auntie, we can't leave together," he said. "Either you go first, or I do. If we leave together, it'll definitely cause more trouble! To be safe, we should leave separately!"
After hearing Liu Ergou's words, Feng Chunling thought it over and realized he was right, so she didn't argue. Seeing that Feng Chunling didn't object, Liu Ergou left first. Only after he had been gone for a while did Feng Chunling check out of the hotel and leave to meet up with him.
However, unknown to them, they were being overly cautious.
