Wu Lihong originally only thought of having a quite capable daughter, who had managed to earn a considerable family business as a woman, and felt a bit rueful and proud, but did not think deeper. As Madam Wang ntioned, he never thought about it; he just considered it inappropriate for a woman to manage the business, and when the ti cos, soone would help take over.
But now that his Legitimate Wife ntioned it, he hesitated. Even if this daughter was pure, in the eyes of the world, a young girl just reaching the age of marriage traveling with n was considered a rebellious act, extrely damaging to reputation.
Only afraid that in others’ eyes, this girl has already lost her purity, how can one bring such a person into the clan without self-destroying reputation?
Indeed, Wu Lihong was romantic but was also soone who cherished his reputation. He did not have the courage to challenge the entire family clan for a daughter he had never t, after all, the Wu Family had plenty of daughters ready to marry.
Madam Wang coldly watched Wu Lihong’s unpredictable expression, her lips curved coldly. She had long seen through this man’s face; seemingly affectionate, but actually heartless.
Sure enough, Wu Lihong ca back to his senses and said, "It’s still too early to talk about this, Madam Zhou is still on the way!"
Madam Wang’s just subsided anger rose again, squinting her eyes, she said, "Even so, you are determined to let that woman in?"
Wu Lihong avoided her gaze, saying, "The child in Madam Zhou’s belly is mine." Pausing, he added, "All these years, our main household only had Yuyu. If Madam Zhou can give birth to a boy, he can help Yuyu in the future, brothers supporting each other, how could the family not prosper?"
Madam Wang’s heart sank straight down.
Support each other, that bastard fit to be brothers with her Yuyu?
"Madam, you are from the Earl’s family, you should know, a single tree cannot make a forest." Wu Lihong, seeing her not speaking, added another sentence.
Madam Wang lowered her eyelids and said, "Yuyu has brothers too, cousins are also brothers."
"How can they be the sa? Can cousins be closer than one’s own? Our main household has too few males!" Wu Lihong said anxiously.
Madam Wang said, "Let’s talk about this later, I am tired."
Wu Lihong knew this matter could not be rushed, and it was not good to push too hard, so he hurriedly said, "Alright, you rest first, I will call Nanny Wei to attend to you."
Madam Wang responded with a sound.
Wu Lihong quickly went out.
Upon seeing Wu Lihong leaving the courtyard, Nanny Wei lifted the curtain of the sleeping quarters and ca in, seeing Madam Wang leaning calmly there, sowhat surprised.
"Madam."
Madam Wang said, "Nanny, it seems we were too hasty before, wasted ten thousand taels for nothing, and left a bad handle. Even Ping An, why didn’t he verify clearly before sending a ssage?"
Madam Wang’s tone carried so resentnt.
Nanny Wei was taken aback, walked over and asked, "What do you an by this?"
Madam Wang then explained that Madam Zhou’s daughter was in Changan and recounted her ’illustrious’ deeds, ending with a cold laugh, "Nanny, do you think a little girl like her, who has completely lost her reputation, can still be recognized as part of the clan? Ha! She must be dreaming! The clan won’t be so easygoing. Had we known it was like this, we wouldn’t have rushed." How regrettable for the ten thousand taels.
Nanny Wei was also quite surprised, saying, "Is that girl really in Changan, where exactly?"
Madam Wang was stunned for a mont, then shook her head, "I forgot to ask, it doesn’t matter where, anyway, if she wants to be recognized as part of the clan, it’s impossible."
A bastard, wanting to be acknowledged by the clan, unless the clan is full of fools!
