Chapter 885: Chapter 884: Shortsighted
Wu Lihong stord out of Madam Zhou’s room, spotting Qiu Xiang standing at the doorway, his face grew even darker, and he stopped in his tracks.
“You, as a maidservant, should know how to share burdens with your master. Your Madam, her mind is a bit unclear. I see you are soone sensible, try to advise her well, and stop her from thinking too many foolish thoughts!” Wu Lihong said with a stern face.
Qiu Xiang stood with her hands at her side, eyes lowered, and responded: “Yes.”
Wu Lihong heard the sound of crying from inside, snorted again, and left with a swing of his sleeves.
The love from a man, if given to you, just accept it. How could there be so many demands, asking him not to be an official and stay with them, mother and daughter, is simply ridiculous.
Qiu Xiang watched him walk away coldly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, truly a heartless man.
But recalling what Madam said inside, Qiu Xiang shook her head again. The one in there is also a fool, how could she think of such unrealistic things?
Foolish!
Qiu Xiang sighed and went inside.
…
These days, Zhou Xuennian could say it’s been the most comfortable ti in over thirty years, and only now does he feel this is the life of a human, being in a high position without worrying about silver.
But now, just when he’s about to live a superior life, he hears Wu Lihong’s sarcastic remarks about Ying i, and his face turned black.
“That, brother-in-law, iniang loves you deeply and spoke such heedless words because she was montarily confused. Don’t bla her, after all, she has suffered for so many years!” Zhou Xuennian said with a stiff smile, internally cursing Madam Zhou for being such a fool.
Isn’t everyone wanting to rely on the imperial examination to beco an official and bring honor to their ancestors, and once they beco officials, who doesn’t want to climb higher? How high one can climb depends on fate and opportunity. So people remain at the fifth or sixth rank all their lives, a regret already.
Yet Zhou iniang, that fool, actually proposed such unrealistic nonsense, truly foolish beyond asure, with shallow vision, she’s the type who wouldn’t even look like the Crown Prince in a Dragon Robe. Such poor insight, how could it be so bad!
What, saying that nowadays there’s no worry for food and drink?
Pei! Can being a farr girl be better than being the Lady of the Official?
Zhou Xuennian couldn’t help but grit his teeth, veins throbbing at his temples; with such shallow views, whom did she take after!
“I don’t think it’s because she loves deeply as you say. Such love, I can’t bear!” Wu Lihong chuckled lightly, saying: “I actually feel she is serious, considering the current days as excellent. If so, I won’t force them; at worst, I’ll just leave them so gold and silver!”
Zhou Xuennian’s heart skipped a beat, hurriedly smiling apologetically: “Do calm down, brother-in-law. Won tend to have minor whims; who doesn’t? She just got stubborn. You, as a reputable official, truly won’t brood over this, will you? Look, all these years, she has constantly stayed loyal, waiting for your return. Such fidelity is hard to find! You have reunited after a long separation, don’t let minor whims create a rift!”
Wu Lihong’s expression slightly eased, sighing: “I’m pained because I know she has waited for years. But now, finally, the family is about to reunite, and she’s giving trouble; what can I do?”
“Rest assured, I will advise her,” Zhou Xuennian hurriedly said: “She just hasn’t co to her senses, after all, you did pledge for life back then. Once she understands, she won’t cause this fuss anymore!”
Wu Lihong, hearing him bring up matters of the past, felt a montary doubt in his heart, but soon regained his composure, saying: “I hope it’s as you say.”
Zhou Xuennian kept smiling apologetically, but inside he was filled with hatred, wishing he could open Zhou Yingi’s head to see if it was filled with paste.
