Ah Jiu gave Wufu a wooden plaque with no special markings on it, except for a “Yi” character, but Wufu knew that this piece of wood was of the finest Purple Sandalwood.

Wufu raised an eyebrow at the Purple Sandalwood token, flipped it over in her hand, and gripped it in her palm, then gave Ah Jiu a respectful bow.

Only then did Ah Jiu lower the carriage curtain.

Yuan Ye leaped onto the carriage, with a shout, the carriage drove off, and the man called Hoo Die followed beside it.

Watching the carriage leave, Madam Zhou coughed and gave Wufu a meaningful glance, implying that Old Lady Zhou was still there.

“Grandmother has arrived,” said Wufu, performing a courtesy to Old Lady Zhou.

“Who were those people?” Old Lady Zhou’s gaze returned, looking at Madam Zhou and the others coldly.

She was surprised to see a carriage stopped in front of the house, thinking that the faithless man had finally remembered this mother and daughter, willing to pick them up, but it turned out not to be so, some unknown ruffian, it seemed.

With only women in the house, they even dared to let a man enter their home, do they have no sense of shame?

“It’s…” Madam Zhou didn’t know what to say and looked at Wufu.

“They are business associates of mine,” Wufu said indifferently, turning to Old Lady Zhou, “Does Grandmother have any instructions?

Uncle Zhou also just stopped by.”

Old Lady Zhou was taken aback, the eldest had been here too?

So, they don’t listen, do they?

They all take her words for a joke, blatantly defying her, don’t they!

But the fact the eldest came was not important.

The most pressing issue was this mother and daughter, Old Lady Zhou said with a dark face, “Don’t change the subject, what kind of business?

What business could a girl like you possibly have with a man?

Don’t tell me it’s something disreputable.”

As soon as she finished her sentence, Madam Zhou’s face turned pale, and her lips trembled, “Mother!”

She couldn’t believe such words could come from her mother’s mouth.

Having said it out loud, Old Lady Zhou felt she had gone too far, yet what’s said cannot be unsaid, so she continued sternly, “Did I say something wrong?”

“Grandmother, I respect you as an elder, but that doesn’t mean you can humiliate us at will.

What do you mean by scandalous men and women?

If Grandmother speaks like this about her own flesh and blood, aren’t you afraid of shortening your life?” Wufu responded coldly.

“Impertinent!”

“Wufu, hold your tongue!”

Old Lady Zhou pushed Madam Zhou aside and stood in front of Wufu, staring at her intently: “Sharp-tongued and ill-mannered, utterly without upbringing.

A girl like you should have been drowned at birth, it would have been better than bringing shame upon us now.”

“It’s a pity, for I am indeed a calamity.

As the saying goes, a calamity will last a thousand years, and I’m destined for a long life, much to Grandmother’s disappointment!” Wufu’s chin lifted slightly, her face full of defiance.

“You!” Old Lady Zhou trembled with anger.

“Wufu, enough!” Madam Zhou stepped between them, pushing Wufu back and then looked at Old Lady Zhou with pleading eyes, “Mother, I’m sorry, I’ll teach the child properly.

What do you need?

By the way, I’ve earned some Silver with my embroidery these past few days, and Xueli is about to be betrothed, isn’t she?

As her elder sister, it’s only right I contribute something.

I’ll bring it to you now!”

“Stop right there!” Old Lady Zhou barked at her: “Who wants your Silver.

You’ll be lucky if you don’t drive me to my grave.

I told you, if you behave, there would be no problems.

But you, you deliberately make trouble for Xiuxiu?

Why are you so intent on causing unrest in our family?”

“Zhou Yingmei, let me tell you, the Liang Family will be coming to see you in the next few days.

If you let Wufu cause trouble again and make us look bad, and if this marriage falls through, no matter how much your father used to protect you and give you the house, I will have you thrown out immediately!” Old Lady Zhou laid down her ultimatum.

Madam Zhou’s face lost all color, and she stared blankly at her, tears streaming down.
