Chapter 1602: Chapter 1540: Ignorant and Foolish
Madam Wang, beaming with a smile, led her daughters to pay respects to Eldest Lady ng, her enthusiasm as if she was greeting an ancestor.
Eldest Lady ng nodded slightly, looked at Wu Yining, and said, "Is this your family’s eldest daughter?"
"Yes." Madam Wang pressed Wu Yining to bow again to her.
Eldest Lady ng spoke with a smile that was not quite a smile, "She has quite the straightforward and lively character."
Madam Wang’s smile froze.
Straightforward and lively?
Was this a roundabout way of calling Wu Yining rude?
She instantly thought of the incident earlier, being so close, surely the Lady of the ng house had witnessed it.
Eldest Lady ng then looked at Wu Yilin, nodding: "This girl is more demure than her sister, Madam Wu is fortunate."
Wu Yining couldn’t detect the undertone in Eldest Lady ng’s words; she was initially smug, but hearing this, she glanced at Wu Yilin, sensing sothing amiss.
Wu Yilin sneered inwardly but maintained a gentle and elegant smile on her face.
Madam Wang seized the mont to ask, "I am nowhere near as fortunate as the Eldest Lady; your children are all very accomplished. Just now, I seed to see Miss ng and her companions heading towards Area A?"
Eldest Lady ng replied with a faint smile, "Hmm, young girls love excitent, and it happens that the County Lord invited them over."
"I wasn’t aware the County Lord was on such good terms with the young ladies." Madam Wang said with a forced smile.
Eldest Lady ng cast her a sidelong glance, thinking to herself, you, a madam of the house, are quite uninford.
"Sister-in-law, let’s move on, or we’ll end up blocking the way!" Second Madam ng smoothed her hair, not wanting to continue the conversation with Madam Wang; such probing questions were quite unsavory.
Eldest Lady ng just nodded at Madam Wang and proceeded with her sisters-in-law to their own spot.
Madam Wang’s face darkened slightly.
Wu Yining’s face also fell, and she pouted, saying, "What’s so special about them."
"Be silent! One more insolent remark, and you will be sent ho imdiately!" Madam Wang was in a foul mood.
Wu Yining widened her eyes but dared not say more, only pouting angrily.
Seeing this, Wu Yilin let out a cold laugh; this eldest sister was truly ignorant. Who are they dealing with? A family of scholars and teachers for generations, even if they no longer hold high positions in the court, who would dare underestimate the ng family?
And who would not want to marry the ng family’s young ladies, or wish to marry their daughters into the ng family? Only the eldest sister would dare utter such words. What’s so special about them? Truly, ignorance and foolishness!
As for Wufu...
Wu Yilin couldn’t help but glance over to where Wufu was and sighed lightly with regret; the guard ntioned that the ng family’s young lady was her sister, so she was taken along.
They are her sisters, yet they do not enjoy such fortune.
Wu Yilin felt so resentnt; if not for father and mother’s actions, things wouldn’t have beco so strained, right?
This little episode was unbeknownst to Wufu, who led the ng family’s young ladies to Area A to sit down, and imdiately saw Princess Yonghe waving at her. Wufu could only lead the group over.
After exchanging greetings, Princess Yonghe smiled and said, "I knew you would co, so I specially asked Mother to let
out of the palace early, and indeed, here you are. Are you well?"
"Thanks to the princess, everything is well," Wufu replied.
"You may call
Yonghe, and I shall call you Wufu. Co sit with ," Yonghe pointed to the seat beside her.
Wufu, however, said, "Your Highness, I still have these sisters with , how can I..."
"Then let’s all sit together; aren’t you on good terms with Miss Guan as well? Bring her over too; we’ll all sit together." Yonghe said, and instructed her lady-in-waiting to bring over Guan Chuying.
Seeing this, Wufu had no choice but to sit with ng Siyu and the others. Before long, Guan Chuying arrived, they exchanged greetings, and being of similar age, chatted away, it was quite lively.
