Chapter 1279: Chapter 1277: Husband and Wife Quarrel
Returning to her own courtyard, Madam Wang collapsed onto the chaise lounge and started crying. The troubles of the day had utterly defeated her, and at this moment, she felt terribly isolated and helpless.
Qing Lian and Nanny Wei stood inside the room, both feeling at a loss. Nanny Wei instructed Qing Lian to leave, then approached Madam Wang, intending to console her but not knowing where to start, ultimately cursing Wu Lihong and the others in her heart.
Wu Lihong returned soon from Chunhui Hall. Upon entering and seeing Nanny Wei standing inside, he waved his hand: "Leave!"
Nanny Wei gave Madam Wang a worried glance but ultimately did not dare to stay forcefully, and she left.
Wu Lihong waited for a while. Seeing Madam Wang not lifting her head or speaking to him, he impatiently coughed heavily: "Done crying?"
Madam Wangâs body stiffened. She quickly raised her head, her gaze towards him filled with poison-like hatred.
Wu Lihongâs pupils narrowed slightly, instinctively avoiding her gaze, his lips moved.
"What do you want to say?" Madam Wang slowly straightened up, her voice icy: "Did the Old Madam tell you to bring that mother and daughter in quickly?"
"Without my approval, even if she enters the door, if I donât drink her offered tea, itâs not legitimate!" Madam Wang said sharply.
"You!" Wu Lihong was angry: "Youâre still stubborn, Ningning has caused great trouble, and you still oppose me! If it werenât for your teaching her to be unruly, she wouldnât have offended the Princeâs Mansion and offended Princess Changping! Right now, Wufu must be brought back, since Wufu is close with the Commandery Princess, the Princess wonât blame us if she considers Wufu!"
This was all instructed by his mother, clearly Wufu has squeezed into the circle of nobles and powerful people, bringing her back means this connection belongs to the Wu Family!
Wu Lihong thought Marquis Yonganâs Mansion was useless, but it would be different with Wufu!
Madam Wang sneered: "So, just because that brat showed up at Princess Changpingâs marriageable age gift ceremony, you canât wait to rush over and kiss her shoes!"
"Madam Wang, donât go too far!" Wu Lihong was furious and pointed at her, shouting: "Thatâs my daughter, not some brat, donât let that word slip from your mouth again!"
"I want to curse, brat, brat, brat!"
"Slap!"
Wu Lihong slapped her in the face.
Madam Wang covered one side of her face, looking at him incredulously: "You hit me!"
"I told you not to curse, this is the offense of the seven grounds for divorce, you are jealous, not only do I hit you, but if you keep being stubborn, I will divorce you." Wu Lihong felt uneasy under her glare, yet still tried to sound fierce: "Iâve tolerated you for long enough!"
"Wu Lihong, Iâll fight you for this!" Madam Wang rushed at him, her hands like eagle claws aiming for his face.
Her movement was swift, and her nails were sharp, soon leaving several scratches on Wu Lihongâs face.
"Youâre crazy!" Wu Lihong forcefully pushed her back onto the chaise lounge, yelling: "I will divorce you, you shrew!"
"Divorce then, go ahead and divorce, I want to see what reason you come up with, Wu Lihong, Marquis Yonganâs Mansion hasnât fallen yet, itâs not your turn to bully me!" Madam Wang screamed: "Just because that brat appeared at a marriageable age gift ceremony, you think sheâs so awesome? Sheâs not allowed to mess around!"
"You think hiding the Silver Mine is easy to escape from, youâre dreaming! Marquis Yongan hasnât fallen, nor will it rise again!" Wu Lihong spat: "As for Wufu, regardless of whether she has ties with the Princeâs Mansion, Ningningâs rudeness at Princess Changpingâs marriageable age gift ceremony is a big mistake. Offending the Princeâs Mansion, do you want Yuyu to be overshadowed all her life and never rise?"
Madam Wangâs heart skipped a beat.
