Chapter 848: Chapter 847: So-Called Misunderstanding
Wu Lihong was feeling quite dissatisfied lately, for no other reason than being turned away twice at soone’s door, despite being a dignified fifth-rank official. It left a bitter taste in his mouth.
He cast a sideways glance at Zhou Xuennian, who was sitting below, constrained in his brand-new brocade, and let out a snort.
This so-called brother-in-law in front of him claid there was so misunderstanding with Ying i and her mother. But looking at it now, even a re servant wouldn’t let him in, glaring at him with caution as if he were so monstrous flood, this was clearly not just a small misunderstanding, it ant a complete fallout.
Zhou Xuennian had the audacity to deceive him, surely with intentions of using him.
What a nerve!
Zhou Xuennian was already feeling uneasy under Wu Lihong’s glare. He hadn’t expected that her family’s mouths would be so tight-lipped that they wouldn’t reveal Ying i’s whereabouts at all.
Not only that, but they also barred them from entering, even when he revealed Wu Lihong’s status, they couldn’t get past the entrance, thoroughly humiliating him.
He had boasted confidently in front of Wu Lihong, yet to be so humiliated was quite beyond reason.
But no matter how Wu Lihong glared at him, Zhou Xuennian dared not show any dissatisfaction, even forcing out a flattering smile.
"Brother-in-law, about that..." Zhou Xuennian started awkwardly.
Wu Lihong interrogated, "It seems that Ying i and her mother are quite dissatisfied with Big Brother Zhou? I’m really curious, what kind of resentnt, what kind of grievance caused such a big misunderstanding?"
Zhou Xuennian was anxious, "This, it’s all a misunderstanding. You know, Wufu, this child, has been waiting all these years for her father to co for her, but that never happened. Instead, she endured a lot of disdain and insults from the village kids, which made her temperant a bit eccentric!"
This was also a reminder to Wu Lihong, as her father, he bore so responsibility. If he hadn’t left her and her mother all those years, how could things have turned out like this?
Wu Lihong’s face darkened, unable to argue, feeling sowhat guilty.
"Wufu’s character is quite unyielding, and who knows what she said to her mother. Ying i is known for being easily influenced, listening to Wufu’s words, it’s hard to say, alas." Zhou Xuennian cautiously watched his expression and sighed.
Wu Lihong said nothing for a while before speaking, "I heard that you even drove the mother and daughter away?"
Zhou Xuennian’s face changed, protesting repeatedly, "It was all a misunderstanding. At the ti, the villagers were quite critical of them, I only suggested they step away from the lilight for a while, who knew they’d misinterpret."
Wu Lihong raised an eyebrow, just about to speak, when Fu Gui walked in.
"Master, I’ve found out."
Wu Lihong’s face lit up, "Really?"
Fu Gui nodded, "Mrs. Zhou is indeed at the estate. Before she left, she even invited the lady next door, but they were all unavailable. This is how I gathered the information."
"But isn’t that estate supposed to be unoccupied?" Zhou Xuennian asked.
Upon hearing about the estate, Zhou Xuennian had imdiately taken Wu Lihong to the Ping Family Hollow, only to find no one there, hence feeling like the servants at Wufu’s ho were playing them.
Fu Gui gave Zhou Xuennian a knowing look and said, "Elder Master Zhou may not be aware, the Madam and the young lady have two other estates. Currently, they are at a Hot Spring Manor in Long Town for recuperation! Elder Master Zhou didn’t know?"
Zhou Xuennian’s smile froze awkwardly, "This... I really didn’t know they had acquired an estate again. It seems they’re living quite well, haha."
Indeed, living well, acquiring two more estates so quickly, where did all this money co from, falling from the sky?
