Mama Lu is a head maid in Zhou Jingyun's courtyard. She is about forty years old, with a round face and small eyes. She is resentful of the new wife, feeling that she is unworthy and that the marriage disrespects the memory of the former mistress. She is unwilling to accept Zhuang Li's authority but knows she must obey. She complains privately to Mama Wei and expresses her discontent openly, though she stops short of outright defiance.
