Chapter 1601: Chapter 1539: Embarrassed mbers of the Wu Family
The few sisters-in-law of Eldest Lady ng had just taken a few steps when they heard a sharp questioning voice from behind, prompting them to turn back.
A young girl was glaring angrily at the guard, furiously pointing in a direction and demanding, "They can go to Area A, so why can’t we?"
Eldest Lady ng followed her fingertip and raised an eyebrow. It was directed at Wufu and several of her maidservants.
"Elder sister-in-law, this young lady bears a resemblance to Wufu. Could she be from the Wu Family?" asked Second Madam ng.
Eldest Lady ng recognized the lady next to the girl and nodded.
Second Madam ng frowned, "After all, she is a young lady from a fifth-rank official’s family. How could she be so rude, shouting in such a public place? Her manners are truly worlds apart. Her mother cos from the forr residence of a count, yet she can’t compare to those from a humble background."
Eldest Lady ng glanced at her and said, "Being from a high-status family doesn’t necessarily an good manners; it depends on the person."
They fell silent, looking on with disdain at Wu Yining and shaking their heads.
Wu Yining had co with Madam Wang to watch this grand event, and she had seen Wufu leading the ng family’s ladies to Area A. Without thinking, she headed there, only to be stopped, which naturally infuriated her.
The guard looked at her indifferently and said, "May I ask which family the young lady belongs to? What rank is her father? County Magistrate Ruifu is a second-rank official with a title, hence her position is naturally in Area A."
Wu Yining’s face imdiately flushed red, deeply embarrassed.
"Are the ones with her all County Lords?"
"Oh, those are the ng family’s ladies. County Magistrate Ruifu said they’re her sisters, accompanying her," the guard, though puzzled why Wufu said so, replied truthfully, taking the opportunity to jab at Wu Yining: "Are you also County Magistrate Ruifu’s sister?"
She certainly was, more than anyone!
But would Wu Yining dare say it?
She dared not, nor was she able to!
Soone recognized Wu Yining, then glanced towards the direction Wufu had walked away, chuckling to themselves. They knew the Wu family’s situation.
Madam Wang was almost driven to fury by Wu Yining, but her mind was preoccupied with Wufu and the ng family’s ladies, wondering about their relationship and why they seed so close.
Her own Yuyu had co of age, and she was considering sending him to the ng family’s academy, since that academy produced many successful imperial examination candidates. Madam Wang, eager for her son to succeed, naturally wanted him to attend that academy for an education.
Unexpectedly, she saw the friendly interaction between Wufu and the ng family’s ladies, unaware that Wufu was Old Mr. ng’s Close Door Disciple!
In a mont of distraction, Wu Yining had already lost face. Madam Wang paid no mind and hastily stopped Wu Yining, apologizing to the guard with a smile, "We and the County Magistrate hail from the sa clan; the girl misunderstood in the mont."
The guard sneered dismissively.
Wu Yining’s face turned pale, but her mother fiercely pinched her arm, causing her eyes to water from the pain. She looked up to see Madam Wang’s cold, warning gaze, lowered her head, and muttered angrily, "I’m the sister."
Being able to go to Area A was prestigious; it was full of imperial kinsn and royal relatives, all high-status individuals. Rumor had it the Princely Heir was also there, but with Ping Xi gone, she had no one to lead her there.
Madam Wang dragged Wu Yining towards Area D, spotting Eldest Lady ng stopping ahead. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward, curtsying, "Is this Eldest Lady ng? I’ve wanted to visit the Lady multiple tis, but eting here is truly fortuitous."
