"Then why are they so enthusiastic? I thought they were good friends."
"Who knows, the adult world is too hard to understand." Yangyang shook his head indifferently.
"Exactly, the adult world is too hypocritical. They obviously don’t know each other and yet pretend to be so familiar. It’s really annoying."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yangyang looked at him with a bewildered expression, thinking to himself, can you really talk like this without worrying about getting beaten when you get ho?
"Let’s not talk about them anymore. I’ll take you to the yard to play, I have a lot of little toys, we can play together."
"Okay, but first I owe you an apology. I’m sorry for calling you a bumpkin last ti."
"It doesn’t matter, anyway, back then you were just a nouveau riche in my eyes." Only then did he realize this kid was good at giving insults too. "Co on, let show you my frog and little wooden horse, they’re so much fun."
"Hey, don’t walk so fast. What’s a nouveau riche?"
"You don’t know? Hurry up and I’ll tell you! My mom said a nouveau riche is..."
Chattering away, the two boys headed outside.
They left behind two embarrassed adults who didn’t know what to say all of a sudden.
Madam Liu was inwardly cursing, berating her silly son for not thinking before he spoke. Wasn’t he basically saying she was cozying up to people?
"Madam Liu, try this tea. It’s made with lotus flowers from my ho, it tastes great and is also beautifying. Give it a try," Yang Chuxia said, seeing she was sowhat embarrassed and changed the subject.
"Really, it can beautify as well?" Won are forever interested in such things. Madam Liu eagerly took a sip and indeed found lotus petals inside. She tasted it and found it fragrant, "I didn’t expect lotus flowers could be used to make tea."
"Yes, the girls at ho prepared it. I tried it and it’s not bad."
After another sip, Madam Liu put down her cup and dabbed her mouth with a napkin before adding with a smile, "Actually, I didn’t co today just for a cup of tea."
Knowing that the conversation was getting to the heart of the matter, Yang Chuxia picked up on her cue and asked, "Is Madam Liu here with a purpose?"
"There is sothing, but it’s not a big deal, just to deliver a ssage to Madam Ye." And she continued, "I don’t know if the Ye Family has a relative with the Cao surna, is the old master of the Cao Family Lord Ye’s granduncle?"
Upon hearing "Cao Family," Yang Chuxia imdiately had her thoughts and candidly said, "If it weren’t for a break in relations, my husband actually would have had such a granduncle, but the connection was severed in our parents’ generation."
"So that’s how it is!" Madam Liu thought to herself, no wonder Ye Zi’an was so impartial in his judgnts.
After considering the Old Master’s instructions, she added, "Madam Ye might not be aware, but so days ago, the Cao Family filed a complaint at the county office against Lord Ye, accusing him of harming the Cao Family’s young lady and beating up people from the Cao Family. Later, our Lord Liu sent people to investigate and uncovered the truth, suppressing the matter. I’m here today on behalf of my husband to relay a ssage: keep an eye on the Cao Family. Although Lord Ye is fair in his cases, still beware of villains who might use this affair to stir trouble. It may not affect Lord Ye’s career, but it wouldn’t look good in public."
"I never thought they would really go to the officials." Yang Chuxia thought to herself, so the Cao Family was indeed determined to make a big fuss.
"Yes, the Cao matriarch kept saying that the Ye Family beat up their elders. Can you believe that? Not a single injury on them and yet they file a complaint." Madam Liu thought, if you really want to accuse soone, at least co with so injuries.
"I am already inford of the matter, and I am grateful to Lord Liu and Madam Liu for coming to tell ."
