Madam Wang, seeing Madam Liu’s face full of schadenfreude, angrily twisted the handkerchief in her hand. A rchant woman, wanting to see her ridicule?
Wu Lihong was sowhat dazed when he heard his sister-in-law describe soone slightly resembling Ningning.
"What happened?" Wu Lihong, having been preoccupied with the Yue Family matters, hadn’t asked them about going to the Prince’s Mansion for the formal event. Now he heard this, had they offended the Prince’s Mansion?
Wu Lihong felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, deeply sensing an ominous feeling looming over him.
Madam Wang, unwilling to let her two sister-in-laws see her as a joke, remained silent for a mont. The big family’s issues were not for the smaller households to mock.
"Well, speak up!" Wu Lihong, seeing Madam Wang’s silence, felt a surge of anger.
Madam Wang glanced at her two sister-in-laws.
Lady Tong stood up and said to the Old Madam, "Mother, I’m not feeling well. Since the matter is settled, I’ll return to my quarters first!"
The Old Madam, feeling compassion as she was pregnant with her legitimate grandson, urged her to hurry back.
Lady Liu did not intend to leave, but Wu Liqing from the third household, being perceptive, dragged the unwilling Madam Liu away.
In the main hall, only Wu Lihong and Madam Wang remained with the Old Madam.
"What exactly is the matter?" The Old Madam asked with a stern face.
Madam Wang snorted coldly and said, "Mother should ask your good son if he’s treated right!"
Wu Lihong’s face darkened, gritting his teeth, "Madam Wang!"
"This was bound to happen sooner or later. Do you fear mother finding out?" Madam Wang sarcastically said, "Didn’t you repeatedly say to let ntion it to mother?"
Watching them bicker, the Old Madam quietly understood. The eldest had a penchant for escapades; she knew so of his affairs, and Madam Wang had been active lately, which she was sowhat aware of.
But neither had yet revealed it in her presence, so she pretended ignorance!
"If you want to argue, go back to your quarters. Tell everything clearly about the Prince’s Mansion’s affair!" Old Madam Wu suddenly slamd the table.
"What’s there to it? The child born outside by him appeared at Princess Changping’s marriageable age gift today. That girl has a venomous heart, intentionally provoking Yining, leading her to curse." Madam Wang placed all the bla on Wufu: "She’s indeed a cunning girl."
However, both the Old Madam and Wu Lihong focused not on Wu Yining’s cursing but on Wufu appearing at Changping’s marriageable age gift.
"How is that possible? Are you sure it’s Wufu?" Wu Lihong was shocked: "That’s Princess Changping’s marriageable age gift; how could she be at the Prince’s Mansion?"
Madam Wang sneered, "She loudly claid in front of us to be nad Wufu from Huayang. Indeed, she resembles you greatly, sir. I wouldn’t have believed it without seeing it myself!"
Wu Lihong was stunned, having seen Wufu once, she indeed resembled him quite a bit. Huayang Wufu, how coincidentally could that happen?
Then, it indeed was Wufu, that girl, attending Princess Changping’s marriageable age gift!
How could a rural outsider girl have contacts with such nobles and powerful people and even appear at such an event?
Wu Lihong and the Old Madam exchanged a glance, both seeing the other’s surprise and a trace of hidden delight.
"Eldest, tell everything about Wufu carefully. What is going on with her?" Old Madam Wu said.
"Yes, Mother."
As Wu Lihong spoke about Madam Zhou and her daughter’s situation and his plan, Madam Wang’s face turned icy, her handkerchief twisted into rags in her hand.
