129 Chapter 129 Visiting

“The grill you make is better than mine. So let’s have grilled potatoes and chicken today.” Zhou Ying pondered for a moment and decided.

“Alright, I’ll do it in the interspace.”

“No problem, I’ll just finish up the pig offal.” Zhou Ying said, and the two of them locked up and entered her space.

When she went to get the pig offal, she realized that she had been using her existing stock in her interspace all this time, and it was almost gone.

!!

She needed to talk to Brother Tian as soon as possible to decide whether he would follow them.

The following day, Gu Chengrui brought 500 taels of silver with him and Tian Jiawang to town.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao came to visit, but they were so frightened by Er Zhuang that they stood at the door and didn’t dare to take another step forward.

Zhou Ying watched from the kitchen and didn’t make a sound. She hoped Er Zhuang could scare them away so they wouldn’t come here again.

Unfortunately, her wish soon fell through because Mrs. Liu loudly called out her name.

Zhou Ying had to put down her work and said to Da Hua, “Da Hua, you can try to sift the beans. If it doesn’t work, turn off the fire.

“I know, Aunt Gu.” Da Hua replied, eager to try.

“Be careful, and don’t burn yourself.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. She stepped forward to stop Er Zhuang and said, “Aunt Liu, Second Aunt, it seems you are quite free to come over. Come in and have a seat.”

“How can you say that? I’m your stepmother. How can you call me aunt?” Mrs. Liu’s face darkened.

“That’s right, Zhou Ying. You should call her mom, or at the very least, you should call her mother.” Mrs. Yao echoed.

“Mother? I never recognized you as my mother. Father and the patriarch both know this.” Zhou Ying’s expression straightened as she continued, ” If you’re here to visit, I can invite you for a cup of tea.

“But if you’re here looking for trouble, I won’t entertain you.”

After saying that, she let go of Er Zhuang, who immediately jumped and tried to bite them. If it weren’t for the chain around him, he would have pounced on them and bit their necks.

Luckily, this was enough to scare the two so much that they ran out of the courtyard screaming.

“Hahaha …” The satisfying laughter of Sixth Aunt Gu sounded. She quipped, “My little third sister-in-law and seventh sister-in-law’s skin is sure thick.

“You don’t have the grace to raise her or even give her a decent upbringing.

“On the contrary, you bullied her and almost took their lives. Why should she ever acknowledge you as her mother?

“You sure are still in your dreams. Do they really think you two are still the same prestigious people you were?”

“Oh, Sixth Aunt, you are here. Do come in for a seat.” Zhou Ying came out and greeted her enthusiastically.

“No, no. You’ve been so busy, so I won’t give you any trouble.” Sixth Aunt Gu shook her head.

“You aren’t Zhou Ying; who are you?” Mrs. Liu pointed at Zhou Ying and questioned her.

Mrs. Yao accused, “Yes, Zhou Ying was a timid and weak girl who never dared to speak loudly. Look at you; which part of you is like her?”

“So, you’re here to frame me today.” Zhou Ying’s eyes turned cold as she stepped forward.

“What do you mean by framing? You’re clearly a completely different person from before, so why shouldn’t we say what we observed?” Mrs. Liu shouted in panic.

However, she took two steps back as if she was facing something scary.

“Is that so? Didn’t you behave like a timid cat before the princess? I heard you’re also known as a gentle and virtuous lady.

“But look at you now. To put it bluntly, you are nothing but a crude woman now.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask your relatives and friends in the capital. Who would have thought that you would become like this?” Zhou Ying shook her head and said regretfully.
