Chapter 1446: Chapter 1384: Just You Wait
Ah Jiuâs hostility was evident, and Madam Wang, being sensitive, noticed the murderous intent shooting from the man beside that little b*tch. No, it was killing intent.
She looked up, and the man also looked over, his eyes slightly narrowed, his hands behind his back. Although he did nothing, Madam Wangâs legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
Who is he?
The manâs appearance was handsome, adorned in a purple robe embroidered with auspicious clouds, his waist wrapped in a Jade Belt, hanging with Mutton Fat White Jade, and a head crowned with a Purple Jade Crown inlaid with Bright Pearl. His presence was imposing, exuding an air of untouchable nobility.
Who is this person?
Like Madam Wang, Old Madam Wu and Wu Lihong were also filled with questions. They were all keen observers, yet that man stood beside Wufu with an aura of nobility and elegance, commanding respect and averting their gaze.
"What are you doing? Stand firm!" Old Madam Wu sensed the fear and cowardice of her daughter-in-law and couldnât help but criticize her.
Isnât she always very imposing? What is she doing now? Itâs truly shameful!
How could Old Madam Wu understand Madam Wangâs distress? She was certain that the man was filled with killing intent toward her, his gaze upon her like watching a dead person.
Madam Wang swallowed hard, her body stiff with discomfort, desperately wanting to escape quickly.
Wufu ignored the few people and said to Ah Jiu, "Letâs embark!"
She had promised to take him to see her master, Old Mr. Meng. The invitation card had already been sent, and if they didnât depart soon, the old man would surely be anxious.
Ah Jiu pursed his lips, "What about these people?"
"My master is the most important!" Wufuâs mouth twitched as she turned to board the carriage.
Seeing this, Ah Jiuâs gaze swept over the few people and he mounted his horse.
Wu Lihong and the others were stunned.
He immediately took two steps closer, stopping Wufu, "Where are you going? Who is this man?" He pointed at Ah Jiu.
Mo Lan wielded her sword to block his approach to the carriage, coldly saying, "Move aside!"
Wu Lihong shuddered, halting his steps, and with a grim face, looked at Wufu inside the carriage, "We came to discuss something with you!"
"Visiting without first sending an invitation card?" Mo Lan coldly spoke again.
Wu Lihongâs face froze.
Old Madam Wu stepped forward, addressing Wufu, "Wufu girl, itâs best to resolve old enmities rather than create new ones. Things must have a conclusion, and I believe you also want to settle this troubling matter soon, right?"
"What do I have to discuss with you?" Wufu cast a sidelong glance, her lips curving, "Is it perhaps about Lord Wuâs underhanded tactics? Or perhaps..." She looked at Madam Wang, "How your householdâs Madam pays attention to me and my mother?"
Madam Wangâs face changed several shades, tightly pursing her lips.
"Regardless of what you want to propose, shouldnât we sit down for a proper discussion?" Old Madam Wu said, "You donât want people coming and going here pointing fingers at this house, do you?"
Wufu said, "Is that so? Iâm truly sorry, but I have urgent matters to attend to!"
"You..."
"For negotiations, you should show sincerity!" Wufuâs face turned cold, "Who gave you the delusion that just because youâve come, I must meekly adhere to your wishes and converse with you? If you want to talk, fine, wait for me to come back! Go."
She dropped the curtain, and the carriage began to move, leaving the dumbfounded group behind, gracefully departing.
"Arrogant, too arrogant!" Old Madam Wu was shaking with anger.
"Mother, what about us?"
"Wait, letâs see how she acts then." Old Madam Wu turned to wait in her carriage.
Wu Lihong was unwilling to just wait; he had to go in and wait. But before he could approach and knock on the door, he was thrown out by the guards.
