Chapter 945: Chapter 944: Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire
Madam Wang was truly angry. She always prided herself on her dignity and raised her daughter to be a lady. Yet today, Wu Yining completely erased all her teachings and gave her a harsh slap in the face.
It’s one thing to lose face herself, but this girl is so fierce, tearing and fighting, it’s simply unbearable to watch.
How will she ever arrange a marriage for her in the future?
Madam Wang was exceedingly worried; her just suppressed anger flared up again.
“Madam, please calm down. The young ladies and young masters still rely on your guidance. If you fall ill from anger, what will happen to the siblings?” Nanny Wei immediately tried to soothe her, advising, “The eldest young lady is just a bit hot-tempered. Besides, she has always been close to the master. How could she let anyone slander him? Losing her sense in a moment of urgency is inevitable. Teach her gradually.”
Madam Wang said with a stern face, “Nanny, do you think this is just groundless gossip?”
Nanny Wei’s heart skipped a beat. She cautiously glanced at her, pondering how to respond.
Seeing this, Madam Wang said in a low voice, “Even you think this is not just nonsense, don’t you? If this weren’t true, how could such rumors spread about the Wen family? That Fourth Young Master of the Wen Family is indeed an official there, and the master…”
Didn’t he just go to the Shu region?
Why is it that, revisiting old places, he was reminded of his old flame? Have they rekindled their affair?
Shameless harlot!
“Madam, after all, it’s a long journey, and word-of-mouth rumors aren’t entirely reliable. Who knows if what is passed along is still the same as the original?” Nanny Wei said cautiously.
Madam Wang sneered coldly, “I actually think this matter is true. You know what kind of person he is. If he were devoted, why would he bring one after another into the house? I’ve long seen through him! But I didn’t expect he even had a love child outside.”
Nanny Wei remained silent.
Madam Wang’s face was icy. When she heard Lady Wen probing into this matter today, she was indeed shocked, but she didn’t dare show it on the surface, and she couldn’t admit it either.
Who knew that even a concubine-born daughter in the Wen family knew about this matter? That brainless Yining was easily stirred up, truly foolish!
If this were true, Wu Lihong’s reputation would become even more tarnished, not to mention Wu Yining’s fight. She dared not imagine how those ladies would view them.
A daughter like this, such a marriage alliance, just thinking about it is vexing and frustrating.
Madam Wang felt utterly irritable. She was so furious, gnashing her teeth at Wu Lihong thousands of miles away, and at the rumored mother and daughter, wishing them dead.
“Go and call Jin Shu, who is by the eldest young lady’s side. I want to see what exactly that Wen girl said.”
Nanny Wei responded and left. Shortly afterward, Jin Shu came. Under Madam Wang’s pressure, she quickly recounted the conflict between the two.
Madam Wang only felt her temples throbbing painfully. She looked at her coldly, saying, “As the head maid, you should try harder to persuade your mistress not to act impulsively. But this time? Deduct one month of monthly money. Leave now.”
Jin Shu kowtowed and withdrew.
Madam Wang smashed another teacup and said to Nanny Wei, “Wet nurse, you must personally go to the Wen family to ask where exactly this news came from. Also, send that Jade Face Cream over.”
“Yes.”
“Additionally, have your second son go immediately to Huayang in Chengdu Prefecture to investigate this matter thoroughly!” Madam Wang coldly ordered, “I wish to see what kind of vixen has captured his thoughts so relentlessly.”
