Chapter 1512: Chapter 1450: There Are Clear-Sighted People
Ah Jiu accompanied Wufu inside, watching her expression while carefully considering how to speak.
"Whatâs the matter?" Wufu couldnât hold back from his probing gaze.
"Is everything alright?"
"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Wufu was somewhat bewildered and thought for a moment, then said, "You donât think Iâd be upset about the appearance of those two girls, do you?"
Ah Jiu gave her a look that said she was exactly right.
Wufu chuckled, "They have nothing to do with me, I wonât be upset!"
"Really?"
Wufu nodded and sighed, "Itâs just a small world, thatâs all. Even at a temple, you can run into people who arenât on the same wavelength. Oh, do you think we might also run into Prince Zhou and Lady of Good Sounds later?"
Ah Jiu looked over at her, and as their eyes met, he suddenly recalled the time when he encountered those two lovers while stealing from Zhao Mingjun.
"Now they have what they wished for!"
"But what they wished for has already soured." Wufu said meaningfully, "And thatâs thanks to you!"
"They should indeed thank me; otherwise, would Zhao Mingkun really dare to reveal their affair?" Ah Jiu smirked, "It has soured, but do you think someone as opportunistic as Zhao Mingkun would remain faithful to Fan Wu? He wants to fight for that great position, so itâs unlikely; otherwise, what business would Princess Ping Xi have with it?"
"So, itâs not my fault; itâs just that their so-called love was not as steadfast as they claimed!" Ah Jiu spread his hands innocently.
Wufu raised an eyebrow at him, "The shameless one is actually you. I, a mere girl, willingly concede to you!"
Ah Jiu chuckled, not expecting her to quickly turn his words back at him.
The two of them laughed and joked, picking up blood-red maple leaves from the ground to play with.
As they walked uphill, Chi Wu came to report.
The person from the Wu Family who came was the second familyâs wife, reportedly here to fulfill a vow and pray for blessings. Besides the second family, only the second young lady of the first house, Wu Yilin, came along to pray for the Wu Familyâs Old Madam.
Wufu remained expressionless and said, "Thatâs good, no need to see that complaining woman!"
Ah Jiu smiled faintly.
Meanwhile, Wu Yilin was also talking with Wu Yiwan.
"...Second sister, what do you think of that Sister Fu?" Wu Yilin asked warmly.
Wu Yiwan hesitated for a moment and said, "Third sister, I find her difficult to deal with, and she publicly severed ties with our uncle, clearly indicating her intention to distance herself from the Wu Family. So, itâs best if we act like strangers when we meet again, for both our sakes."
If Wufu had heard, she would definitely give Miss Wan a thumbs-up, at least someone who understands!
"But no matter what, sheâs still our sister!" Wu Yilin said with innocent sincerity, "Weâre bound by blood!"
"Third sister, as long as you keep her in your heart, isnât that enough? Since the lines are drawn, life can remain peaceful. If too entangled, life may again become restless!" Wu Yiwan looked at her and said, "Iâm sure our aunt doesnât want you to be involved with her either!"
Wu Yilin hmmâd softly, then said, "I wonder who that man beside her is? They came here together, Sister Wan. Do you think they might be engaged? He looks quite distinguished!"
Wu Yiwan disliked gossip and said, "Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with us. Letâs not speak of it lest someone hears and calls us gossips."
Wu Yilinâs face froze momentarily, and she forced a smile, "Arenât I just curious? Since sister doesnât want to discuss it, letâs not. Letâs continue upward!"
