Chapter 809: Chapter 808: Gloating
Feeling unfair, besides Zhou Xiuer, there was also Madam Lu. She thought that man was at most from a slightly better family, but now Zhou Xuennian told her he was an official, and a big one at that, even bigger than the County Magistrate. How could she endure that?
Heaven is so unfair!
Her whole family is so miserable, and her maternal family too, but those people, they just keep getting better and better!
Why do they have such good fortune!
Both Madam Lu and Zhou Xiuer sighed over the injustice, but no matter how unfair it seed, it was a fact that couldn’t be changed.
"Are you sure it’s true? Is he really a big official? Not a fraud, right?" Madam Lu asked again, unwilling to give up.
Zhou Xuennian rolled his eyes and said, "Impersonating an official is punishable by death. There’s no need for them to pretend."
Madam Lu pursed her lips and said, "Then why is he here, to take them back to live in luxury?" After a pause, she asked, "It’s been so many years, he should have remarried by now, right?"
Zhou Xuennian sighed and nodded, "He has remarried. It’s said that his current Legitimate Wife is the Legitimate Daughter of the Marquis Yongan’s Mansion." If it weren’t so, the Zhou family would have been properly associated with Wu Lihong; what a pity.
Madam Lu’s eyes imdiately sparkled with malicious joy. "Ah, that’s really a family so wealthy they must look up to Heaven. How can Ying i compare? If she really gets taken back, at most she’d be a concubine, what will she do then!"
Being a concubine in a wealthy household is just a plaything, a servant, and not favored by the Madam. With Zhou Yingi’s temperant, if she ets with a formidable Madam, wouldn’t she be tornted to death?
"If she goes and becos a concubine, then that little hoof Wufu would be a concubine-born daughter, ha ha ha, now both mother and daughter will be beneath others, let’s see how arrogant she can be!" Madam Lu snorted a laugh.
"Even a concubine-born daughter is still an Official’s daughter." Zhou Xiuer said dazedly. Moreover, with such a high official, even if Wufu’s mother was born a concubine, the Lady of this Official would still be from such a prestigious family, how wealthy must the Wu family be?
Besides envy, Zhou Xiuer was still envious. Wufu’s fate was really good; if possible, she would be willing to take her place. Being a concubine-born daughter, so what? What’s wrong with being the daughter of an Official?
"You better put that look away!" Zhou Xuennian gave Madam Lu a cold glance and said, "Tomorrow I have to go see Wu Lihong. He still doesn’t know where Wufu and her family are!"
Madam Lu plopped down and said, "What are you going to do?"
"What to do? I’m his brother-in-law. He’s wronged my sister for so many years, shouldn’t he show so regard?" Zhou Xuennian snorted, "If he’s unwilling, fine, he can forget about finding out where they are!"
"That’s enough, don’t forget, he is a big official, if he wants to investigate, can he not find out?" Madam Lu reminded.
"I have my asure, don’t worry about it. As for you, keep quiet, because anyway, this is our only chance to turn things around! As Ying i’s maternal family, I must stand up for her!" Zhou Xuennian said.
These words were so nauseating, it could make one retch yesterday’s al.
Madam Lu nodded and said, "That’s right. All these years, it’s been our Zhou family looking after Ying i and her daughter. If he doesn’t show so regard, it wouldn’t be right."
Zhou Xiuer’s eyes lit up and said, "Let him get a position for Dad, since he’s a big official, he can manage that, right?" That way, she could also be a Lady of the Official, and she is born of the first wife, while Wufu is of the young wife, wouldn’t that make her rank higher?
Zhou Xuennian looked approvingly at his daughter. That was exactly what he was thinking.
