Wufu, Wu Fu, so the illegitimate child father had outside looks like that, yet she doesn’t seem at all like those concubine-born daughters.
Like the concubine sisters at ho, timid and shrinking, utterly incapable of presenting themselves in public.
But that woman!
Wu Yilin strained her mind recalling the woman who stood amidst a group of noble ladies, smiling and conversing. She was quite tall, dressed simply yet elegantly. Though not adorned with heavy makeup or extravagant attire, her height made her stand out remarkably.
But precisely because she stood out, one could imdiately notice her deanor; whether or not she was of lowly birth, it was said she ca from a humble place and grew up in a peasant family. Logically, wouldn’t people from such places be awkward and out of place, embodying a petty bourgeoisie air unfit for public display?
However, this Wufu showed not the slightest trace of such petty deanor. Instead, she appeared exceptionally poised, fitting perfectly among a group of noble ladies as if it were her natural environnt, as if she were born comparable to celestial daughters—magnanimous and graceful.
Are all children raised in peasant households like this now? Could Madam Zhou really possess such skill, to raise a lady seemingly like an aristocrat?
Wu Yilin was puzzled; she naturally did not know that Wufu was a person who had lived through two lifetis, what she had seen, heard, and experienced—how could she be narrow-minded?
But she would never know!
With similar complex feelings was Madam Wang. Though unwilling to admit it, she knew that little bastard was anything but simple and not the unsophisticated country girl she had imagined.
Just observing how she carried herself naturally among the noble ladies, one could not ignore her. If anyone said that girl was harmless, Madam Wang might well slap them.
Moreover, Madam Wang pondered intensely, wondering on what grounds Wufu was present at Princess Changping’s marriageable age ceremony. Judging by how Princess Changping seed to protect her, they appeared to be on very good terms!
A lowly illegitimate child whom she held in contempt, actually appearing at Princess Changping’s ceremony, seemingly friendly with many noble ladies—if she hadn’t witnessed it herself, she simply couldn’t believe it!
Had she missed sothing?
Realizing that Wufu differed from her expectations especially agitated her; what else about that girl did she not know?
Madam Wang wished she could imdiately have soone investigate her thoroughly.
The sensation of losing control was utterly unbearable, leaving Madam Wang profoundly irritated and furious.
Did Master know?
Madam Wang closed her eyes, the agitation nearly causing her to explode, her entire being radiating a chilling aura.
Wu Yining noticed this and shrank back to the side.
Wu Yilin caught a glance from the corner of her eye, then looked towards Madam Wang, asking, "Mother, how did Old Lady Zhou arrive so coincidentally? Was soone helping us out?"
"What?" Madam Wang was startled, suddenly rembering Old Lady Zhou’s arrival to fetch them ho.
It wasn’t her who called her, nor was it anyone helping them, but rather that she claid there was an urgent matter at ho, and Master requested their imdiate return?
What had happened?
Madam Wang felt a tightness in her heart; she was too preoccupied with anger to attend to Old Lady Zhou’s purpose.
Fortunately, the carriage quickly returned to the Wu Family estate. Madam Wang descended from the carriage and summoned Old Lady Zhou to inquire about the matter.
Old Lady Zhou said, "Master instructed this old servant to promptly bring you back, but I do not know the specifics."
Madam Wang frowned, swiftly walked through the side gate, and upon returning to the main residence, saw Wu Lihong pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, causing her heart to tighten with a jolt.
