Chapter 1249: Chapter 1247: Deliberate Humiliation
Wufu just wanted to deliberately humiliate Wu Lihong, not for the lingering resentment in this body, but out of scorn and disdain in her heart.
What right does Wu Lihong have to just casually have a fling, and then disappear without a trace, only to meet again after years, shed a few tears, claim ignorance of their existence, say a few sweet words, and easily acknowledge a daughter, then act like "Iâm the biggest dad on earth"?
Perhaps in the eyes of the world, thereâs nothing wrong with what Wu Lihong did; heâs the son of a noble family, isnât he? How many noble sons of this era arenât frivolous? As they say, a person is wasting their youth if they arenât frivolous!
A young scholar who doesnât have a couple of romantic lovers in his youth, how can he be considered a charming young man? Those are supposed to be beautiful things to be added to the chronicles of oneâs life.
Ask any current student or official, who in their youth hasnât had a romantic affair?
Ah, phooey!
This is all the nonsense of so-called charming scholars trying to justify their own bad behavior!
Noble sons are charmingânonsense! Just because theyâre noble, they can act like rascals?
Can noble sons just recklessly engage with women and then leave as they please?
Didnât they ever consider the word responsibility in their romantic dealings, not realizing that their moments of romance might ruin a womanâs entire life, or even end it?
A man like Wu Lihong is common in this era, and everyone is used to it, theyâre even forgivable, but for Wufu, itâs not acceptable!
Othersâ understanding and forgiveness donât exist for her!
A scoundrel is still a scoundrel, and you canât justify it by saying everyoneâs doing it, so why shouldnât I?
So why should she show him a good face, why should she speak nicely to him? Now with Madam Zhou on her side, if she wanted to be ruthless and didnât fear Madam Zhouâs hatred, she could easily ensure that Wu Lihong and Madam Zhou never meet again in this life.
Wu Lihong wants to find someone, fine, let him investigate on his own, let him find out on his own, otherwise, he has to look at her face.
Wufu happily took a sip of tea.
The Wu Family.
Madam Wang spat out her tea upon hearing what Ping An reported.
"Youâre not joking with me, are you? Did she really say that?" Madam Wang looked at Ping An with amazement.
Ping An said, "How dare this servant deceive the madam, this is exactly what I heard, not a bit exaggerated."
Madam Wang said, "So, youâre saying your master made a fool of himself, and people saw it!"
Ping An awkwardly replied, "Not many people saw it, just a few."
"Good, let him see how the mother and daughter he yearned for are humiliating him. How does it taste now? Thinking that a rustic country woman would have a unique charm, huh!" Madam Wang laughed with satisfaction.
Ping An glanced at her, thinking perhaps the madam was being foolish. If the master loses face, doesnât the whole Wu family lose face too? How could her face be any better?
Thankfully, Madam Wang wasnât completely foolish and soon realized this, her face turned unpleasant again, and asked, "Did you see that girl? What is she like?"
Ping An hesitated and replied, "She looks quite like the master!" In truth, the young woman didnât resemble someone from the countryside at all. Her demeanor, her presence, was stronger than any of the ladies in this house.
At the time, he too was shocked to see her. If not for the girl looking so much like the masterâs elder brother, he would have thought the master had found the wrong person at the wrong place.
How could that timid Maternal Aunt Zhou raise such a formidable daughter?
Truly strange!
Upon hearing Ping Anâs words, Madam Wangâs face grew even grimmer. Resembling the master, huh, no wonder heâs so fixated on her!
