"Daughter! Aren’t you hungry? Co, mother will take you to eat sothing delicious." Turning her head, the old woman seed like a different person, her face blossoming into a smile like a chrysanthemum.
Today’s Madam Wang is not as easily deceived as she was when she was a little girl. You could say she’s a ghost who has trained in hell. If not for the bond of family, these people before her would not be her match at all.
After what just happened, Madam Wang beca cautious and asked calmly, "Mother, didn’t you say earlier that our family no longer has any money? How can you still take to eat good things? We don’t need to go to any trouble, we can just buy so buns from the roadside stalls."
"How could that be okay? Those road stalls are only suitable for lower class people. No matter what, our daughter has worked for the Emperor. Such filthy things cannot be eaten. Co, mother will take you to eat what the noble should eat." With that, the old woman grabbed Madam Wang’s arm, putting on a loving mother-daughter appearance. However, after a few steps, she turned around and winked at her son several tis.
The man understood with a smile; his mother really had a way with words, tricking the elder sister so easily.
The woman next to him, seeing the interaction between her husband and mother-in-law, looked baffled.
"Husband, what’s going on?" Unable to hold back her curiosity, she quietly tugged at her husband’s sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"Shh! Don’t talk."
"What’s happening?"
"Shh, speak softly. I’ve already told you not to speak. I’ll tell you when we get ho." As he spoke, the man sneakily glanced at Madam Wang walking ahead as if afraid she might overhear, while whispering to his wife beside him.
"Huh, what’s the big deal? It’s just going to eat sothing tasty, isn’t it? If you don’t say now, won’t I find out in a while, anyway?" The woman disdainfully pursed her lips, thinking that her mother-in-law was putting on airs by pretending to take Madam Wang sowhere special to eat.
Turning and twisting through the streets, who knows how long they walked.
"Ah, mother, stop. I’m about to drop dead from fatigue."
Madam Wang was quite impatient. To say, ever since she left the War Prince’s Mansion, she hadn’t eaten anything. Although there was food when entering the Imperial Palace, she was so scared that the Emperor might chop her head off that she had no appetite at all, so she really didn’t eat anything.
Having survived the ordeal, as soon as she stepped out of the Imperial Palace, she imdiately felt unbearably hungry.
"Daughter, if you want to eat good things, don’t mind the hardships. We’re almost there, just ahead!" As she spoke, the old woman pointed towards a large restaurant ahead.
Madam Wang paused, thinking, could it be that her mother genuinely wants to take her to eat sothing good?
Just now, she had even suspected her mother of wanting to sell her!
After all, her behavior was too strange earlier.
Especially her mother and brother, after they whispered on the side for a while, their attitudes changed so drastically, how could she not be suspicious?
Madam Wang looked back, sowhat surprised, noticing an anomaly, and then curiously asked, "Hey! Where’s brother? Where’s he gone?"
The woman bared her teeth, with an insincere smile, "Husband had an urgent need to find the restroom."
Madam Wang: "Oh!"
The old woman grabbed Madam Wang’s arm, anxiously saying, "Don’t mind your brother! Let’s go eat sothing nice."
Even though Madam Wang had many doubts in her mind, she couldn’t spot any flaws. Besides, having barely survived, she was both hungry and tired, her mind naturally not as sharp as usual. She let the old woman lead her into the restaurant.
