Chapter 1179: Chapter 1177: A Complete Fool
Changping sent Wufu off, having invited her well, yet such a matter occurred. She felt ashamed and guilty looking at Wufu.
"Wufu, Iâm truly sorry. I invited you here just to have some fun, but didnât expect such troubling things to happen." Changping expressed with a face full of guilt.
Wufu laughed, "Why say such things? Itâs not something you could control." Seeing that she was about to say more, Wufu continued, "Alright, no more of this talk. I donât like hearing it, you should go back and comfort your mother."
Changping smiled teasingly, "Then you return first, Iâve got some time later to come find you."
Wufu nodded.
At this moment, Guan Chuying and the others also came out. Seeing Wufu, they smiled and approached, "Wufu, you havenât left yet."
"Was just about to leave!" Wufu bowed in greeting to Madam Guan.
"We didnât have a good chat today. How about in a few days, I send you an invitation to come play at my house?" Guan Chuying said cheerfully.
Wufu was momentarily surprised, then smiled, "Sure!"
"Donât forget to send me one too." Changping responded.
Guan Chuying laughed, "Naturally, I wonât forget the Commandery Princess."
Wufu waved goodbye to the group and boarded the carriage.
Guan Chuying and her mother also bid farewell to Changping and boarded their own carriage. Madam Guan looked at her daughterâs rosy cheeks, reached out to tuck her stray hair behind her ear, and said, "Made a new friend today? The one called Wufu?"
Guan Chuying nodded, "Yes, Mother, that girl is quite fun, and her conversation is interesting. Sheâs very perceptive, much more entertaining than those young ladies from prestigious families."
Madam Guan replied, "Itâs rare for you to praise someone like this. But the background of this girl..."
"Mother, I know what youâre implying. But donât worry, what could she seek from us? Fatherâs an Imperial Censor, with such an upright and uncompromising nature, itâs difficult even to bribe him."
Madam Guan, hearing her daughter say this, couldnât help but scold gently, "Be careful of your words if your father overhears."
Guan Chuying stuck her tongue out playfully and hugged her motherâs arm warmly, "So Mother wonât stop me from befriending Wufu?"
"Fine, do as you will. Youâre grown now, and you wonât have much freedom after two years." Madam Guan patted her cheek, speaking with implied meaning.
Guan Chuying understood what her mother meant, and her cheeks turned red.
"Mother, about the Princeâs Mansion today..." Guan Chuying asked softly. Today, things abruptly ended, and the atmosphere felt odd.
Madam Guanâs face turned stern, lightly reprimanding, "Donât speak of it. Itâs not something young ladies should know about."
Madam Zhang returned and whispered a couple of words, giving Madam Guan a general idea of what had happened. Seeing her daughterâs face, she felt deeply grateful.
The Princeâs Mansionâs status is indeed high, but such imperial kin, with the household being like that, itâs better not to aspire for it. Families like ours should look for equally honorable and straightforward backgrounds.
Especially given her daughterâs character, alas.
"Mother, could it truly be because Bai Sulian did something?" Guan Chuying was curious.
Madam Guan wanted to reprimand but considered that her daughter was grown now and couldnât remain ignorant about everything. She briefly explained what she knew, ending with a warning, "Yingying, acts of such dishonor, we must steer clear of them, and cannot commit them. A young lady must maintain her dignity; we mustnât engage in such disgraceful acts."
"Mother, Iâm not one to act shamelessly; I just didnât expect sheâd be so bold."
Madam Guan sneered, "Bold indeed, but merely a fool."
Such incidents mean that even if one enters the mansion, they could never hold their head high.
