Chapter 1093: Chapter 1091: Wufu Is a Very Opinionated Person
When Madam Zhou mentioned their daughter, her tense face relaxed, and her gaze softened.
"Sheās still in Changan and hasnāt come back yet." Madam Zhou thought for a moment and said, "That girl named Purple Jade is someone she relies on. She came back with Wufuās orders this time. Wufu said she wants to bring me to Changan."
"Oh." Wu Lihong suddenly understood what she was saying and raised his voice in surprise, "What? She wants to bring you to Changan?"
His voice was so loud that Madam Zhou was startled. She touched her belly and asked, "Why are you shouting like that, such a big man?"
"No." Wu Lihong sat beside her and said, "You just said that Wufu sent someone to bring you to Changan? Sheās not coming back?"
Madam Zhou also sighed and said, "I donāt know the specifics. Purple Jade only said that Wufu sent her back to bring me there. It seems that Wufu has settled some business in Changan and must have started some kind of trade there!"
This startled Wu Lihong, and he said, "She actually has such capability? A house in Changan City isnāt as easy as in Huayang. Even for a place like this, a good location would cost at least a thousand taels."
Madam Zhou listened and said proudly, "Wufu is a very independent girl. Since Purple Jade said sheās purchased it, then it must be so."
Wu Lihong fell silent.
Having stayed in this city of Huayang for a long time, he had heard Wufuās name many times. Over there, Prefect Li and some president or other all spoke highly of her.
So, Wu Lihong believed that this daughter indeed had some capability.
However, while having capability is good, isnāt she perhaps a bit too... independent?
"Mr. Wu?" Madam Zhou looked at him dazedly and gave him a nudge.
"Hm?" Wu Lihong looked over and said with a smile, "It seems our daughter is indeed clever. Meiniang, thank you, itās been hard on you to give me such a talented daughter. Since you are expecting again, if itās a son, he will surely be even smarter than his sister."
As he said this, Wu Lihong couldnāt help but imagine ā if a daughter is so clever, what about a son?
Madam Zhou felt a stir in her heart and remained silent for a moment.
Wu Lihong didnāt know, but she felt a bit uneasy. Is this Wufu still the same Wufu?
Madam Zhou was in a bit of a daze, with the old image of her daughter overlapping with the present one. The daughter was always that clever, and yet somehow not.
"Actually, her timing is quite fortunate." Wu Lihong said again.
"Hm?" Madam Zhou didnāt understand.
Wu Lihong took her hand and held it, saying, "Meiniang, my duties here are completed. In a few days, I have to go to Jiangnan, and then I will return to Changan from there."
Madam Zhou was taken aback.
"Originally, I wanted to tell you." Wu Lihong said with a smile, "I intended to bring you and Wufu back to the Wu Family, but as Iām here on duty, it would be a hassle to take you along, so I thought if Wufu comes back, Fu Gui would take you to Changan. Now she tells me she has settled down over there and wants to take you over. Isnāt that a coincidence?"
Madam Zhou forced a smile. It was a coincidence, but how could he be so sure that Wufu would agree to return to that family?
"Mr. Wu..." Madam Zhou opened her mouth but didnāt know what to say.
"Hm?"
Madam Zhou smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, Wufu is a very independent girl."
Wu Lihong didnāt understand, so what?
So, donāt expect too much that things will go as smoothly as you think.
