Chapter 1100: Chapter 1098: Miss Zhou, Please Behave Yourself
Qiu Xiang departed from Purple Jade’s place, looked up at the azure sky above the roof, and felt her mood lift, as if the conversation with Purple Jade had dispelled all the accumulated gloom of the past few months.
Purple Jade said she’d be going to Changan, as the girl would be there; it seed that even in such a place full of troubles, life wouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Thinking of this, Qiu Xiang smiled, hearing the faint sound of crying coming from sowhere she humd softly to herself. Purple Jade had returned, and her words represented those of the girl’s. Zhou Xiuer would most certainly not remain in this house, nor would she go to Changan.
Qiu Xiang briskly returned to serve Madam Zhou.
As for Zhou Xiuer, she buried herself in bed, crying her heart out, with not a single person to console her; inside, she felt both angry and panicked, truly believing she was going to be abandoned.
What should she do?
She had been playing the fool, trying to please, and ended up with nothing. How could she accept this?
Wufu would be living a prosperous life in Changan, while she would have to return to Wozi Village and eat coarse food. How could her fate be so bitter? She was not willing to accept this!
But no matter how unwilling she was, there was nothing she could do. Madam Zhou would not see her and only sent soone to help her pack her things. Truly a vicious and heartless aunt!
Zhou Xiuer refused to give in, thought for a mont, and blocked the door, waiting for Wu Lihong. She did not believe her uncle would also be so cruel.
Wu Lihong did not expect Zhou Xiuer to be blocking him here. Seeing her tears and pitiful appearance, his heart softened, and just as he was about to speak, that maid called Purple Jade arrived.
"Greetings, Lord." Purple Jade curtsied to Wu Lihong.
Zhou Xiuer instinctively moved closer to Wu Lihong upon seeing Purple Jade, and a tense feeling overtook her at Purple Jade’s cold gaze.
"My lord, Madam is waiting for you to dine. Please, my lord." Purple Jade smiled faintly while looking at Wu Lihong.
Wu Lihong nodded and left, hands clasped behind his back.
"Uncle..." Zhou Xiuer, anxious, tried to follow him.
Purple Jade, however, blocked her way: "Miss Zhou, please behave with self-respect."
"What do you an? Move aside, I need to pay my respects to Uncle," Zhou Xiuer said angrily.
Purple Jade coldly replied, "What I an is what the young lady ans. Miss Zhou, have so self-respect. Don’t make a fool of yourself or destroy the Great Wall. Furthermore, don’t take others for fools. Everyone here is smarter than you."
Zhou Xiuer’s face changed slightly: "What did you say?"
"I said, Miss Zhou, have so sha." Purple Jade stepped closer, lowered her voice, and asked, "Miss Zhou, waiting here so late at night, do you intend to seduce your uncle? If this were to get out, who do you think would dare to marry you in the future?"
"You’re talking nonsense! I didn’t, I just..."
"You just want to appear pitiful in front of Lord Wu so he’d agree to let you stay and take you to Changan for a better life." Purple Jade t her eyes with a smile, "Miss Zhou, it’s useless. Even if Lord Wu agrees, without the young lady’s wishes, I definitely won’t let you go to Changan. If you insist on following, and happen to encounter bandits on the way, hehe..."
Zhou Xiuer stepped back two paces in shock, looking at Purple Jade as if she were a ghost; she was terrifying.
Purple Jade said, "I heard your father beca a minor official. I have a word of advice for Miss Zhou: plan well for yourself early and find a kind, steadfast family to marry into. It’s better than foolishly scheming here."
What did she an by this? What was she implying?
"Stop, what do you an by this? What are you trying to do? Tell
clearly!" Zhou Xiuer shouted at Purple Jade, but the other only left her with a view of her back.
