Capítulo 992: Chapter 990: Resolving Past Grievances
Wu Lihong was indeed at Wufu’s house, just as Nan Shan had said, and he acted as if he were the returning master of the house, which had Hongyu and Liu Jin really worried.
Even though they were still young and didn’t quite understand all the grievances between n and won, both of them were smart and perceptive. One look at Lord Wu’s high-and-mighty deanor made it clear nothing good could co from his arrival.
Yet the young lady wasn’t ho at this ti, and now it seed like the house was about to be occupied and taken over.
“Did the young lady say when she’d be back?” Hongyu grabbed Liu Jin and asked.
Liu Jin shook his head and said, “In her letter, the young lady only ntioned she couldn’t return for now, and we should maintain the status quo no matter what happens at ho.”
Hongyu wore a bitter face and said, “This house… how could we, as servants, be in charge here?”
When they spoke a bit brashly, that lord said they were undisciplined and threatened to sell them off. Fortunately, Sister Qiu Xiang was around to remind Madam, who spared them, or who knows where they would be right now.
The most annoying one was Zhou Xiuer, who, emboldened by the lord’s favor, was arrogant and domineering. She called herself the ‘female cousin’ at every chance and tried to barge into the young lady’s boudoir several tis. They stopped her each ti, which made her annoyed and humiliated, claiming they were overstepping their bounds and putting on a display of the young lady’s authority.
Bah, if the young lady were ho, would Zhou Xiuer dare to be so presumptuous? One look from the young lady, and she’d be put in her place.
“Our deeds of sale are in the young lady’s hands, it’s not like they can sell us just because they say so. Everything will be fine when the young lady returns; we just need to do our duties properly,” said Liu Jin, whose young face also showed so gloom.
“That’s all we can do.” Hongyu squatted down, sighed, and asked, “Liu Jin, do you think in the future, the young lady and the madam will go back with that man to the Wu Family? I heard from Sister Qiu Xiang that their family has a large estate and that there are many disputes among many people, with people there being ruthless.”
Liu Jin pursed his lips, squatted down, and rested his chin in his hands, saying, “No matter where the young lady goes, I will follow her.”
Wufu gave him a second chance at life, and he had made up his mind to follow her for the rest of his life.
Hongyu nodded in agreent, “That’s what I think too. Oh, how I wish the young lady would return soon.”
They rested their chins on their hands, watching the gloomy sky, and their mood was as overcast as the weather.
In contrast to Hongyu and Liu Jin’s dispirited mood, Madam Zhou and others were bright and cheerful, relaxed and delighted.
With Zhou Xiuer constantly entertaining her, Madam Zhou’s heart had been ward considerably, and with Wu Lihong’s small, attentive gestures of flattery, and her niece speaking well of him, Madam Zhou, half reluctantly but half willingly, reconciled with him and followed him back to the ho in Huayang.
With the past misunderstandings cleared, the two seed to have returned to the sweetness of their reunion, living the usual life of a loving couple. With the nourishnt of love, Madam Zhou, like a flower deprived of water, soon blood splendidly and looked several years younger.
She was naturally gentle and kind, and now living comfortably and with proper dress, she beca lively again, which made Wu Lihong love her even more.
n, they have always been fickle; Wu Lihong, being the romantic he was, was no exception, especially considering this was an old fla.
Zhou Xiuer watched as Wu Lihong smiled and pinned a pink Peony in her aunt’s hair, whose smile was so radiant it made Zhou Xiuer envious to the point of tears.
“Female Cousin.” Qiu Xiang, accompanied by a little maid, saw Zhou Xiuer standing dumbfounded at the entrance to the garden and couldn’t help but frown.
