Chapter 1000: Chapter 998: Lying to Cover Up

Upon receiving Wen Congrui’s invitation, Wu Lihong was sowhat surprised. He sat together with Madam Zhou in the Floral Hall, talking about Wen Congrui.

"I’ve heard, Wufu gives one portion of Suishan Building’s profits to charity?" Wu Lihong asked, "Was this agreed with Lord Wen?"

Madam Zhou nodded, smiling as she replied, "Wufu said that doing good deeds and accumulating rit is also a good thing, so it was decided this way."

"She can also do carving? Work for the Hundred Treasures Silver Building?" Wu Lihong asked again.

"Mr. Wu knows this too?" Madam Zhou was surprised.

"I saw the seal she carved at Prefect Li’s place; her craftsmanship is quite good. Who taught her?" Wu Lihong was very curious about Wufu.

It was said that this girl had a rebellious nature and never showed any remarkable traits in the past. How suddenly she beca so clever, able to do carving and even has so business acun.

Just take that portion of profit as an example, it’s a win-win situation. For a young girl to have such courage, and Madam Zhou, to have taught soone like her?

So the more he heard about Wufu’s deeds, the more curious he beca about what kind of existence this girl truly was!

Madam Zhou’s expression slightly changed, and she quickly lowered her eyelids, bowed her head, and said, "This matter, it’s not that I don’t want to say, but it’s a bit hard to explain."

"Oh?" Wu Lihong looked at her with curiosity.

Madam Zhou continued, "We mother and daughter have always lived by the mountain, haven’t we? When she was little, she played in the mountain and t an old man who saw her having so talent and taught her carving!"

"Such a thing? I never heard your older brother ntion it!" Wu Lihong said in surprise.

Not worried about telling another lie, Madam Zhou laughed slightly, "We lived in that place, and usually, we wouldn’t go down the mountain if we had nothing to do, and no one would co. That old man, no one knows where he ca from, only stayed in a cave in the mountain for several years. The only condition he taught Wufu was not to ntion him to anyone. So only I know about this matter."

"Who is he?"

Madam Zhou shook her head, "I don’t know either. Wufu said he never ntioned his origins, ca suddenly, and left suddenly, like an old mysterious being in the mountain, disappearing one day all of a sudden!"

Wu Lihong frowned, finding this rather odd.

Madam Zhou cautiously glanced at him, then lowered her head, looking at the teacup in her hand.

Telling lies seed not difficult.

This set of explanation was naturally Wufu’s own words; whether Madam Zhou at the ti believed it or not, she didn’t care, only took it as the explanation.

As for Madam Zhou, no one knows what she truly thinks. In any case, Wufu is her daughter, entwined with her like one. She must defend her daughter.

Fortunately, Wu Lihong didn’t delve deeper, only said, "It is her good fortune. Ultimately, it also involves the lineage of our Wu Family. You know, our Wu Family’s ancestral prowess was in craftsmanship. It’s a sha now... Our family also owns a jewelry shop. When she returns, she doesn’t need to work at Hundred Treasures Silver Building. If she really wants to carve, she can do it at our family’s shop."

Wu Lihong had seen the seal at Prefect Li’s place; the craftsmanship was exceedingly exquisite. Such carving skill surpasses those in his family, having such a skilled artisan work for soone else was too good for them!

Wu Lihong shifted the conversation, beginning to talk about Wen Congrui.

"The Wen Family is also one of the top families. Wufu being able to befriend him is indeed fortunate for her!" Wu Lihong stroked his beard, "This Wen Si is the most outstanding gentleman of the Wen Family."

"Oh? Why is he working here then? Aren’t those big families supposed to be in the Imperial City?" Madam Zhou was also quite curious about Wen Congrui.

Wu Lihong also found it strange, "Maybe it’s the Wen Family’s arrangent? Gaining experience and collecting achievents in local positions before being promoted could be good."

As they talked, Wen Congrui was led in.
