Duke Yingguo fu was a declining family and incomparable to Duke Anguo fu. Letâs not mention how they only had half of the guests. But there was almost no first- or second-rank furens there.
When Zi You followed Wang Yiping to pay their respects to Duke Yingguo furen, Duke Yingguo furen was very warm and enthusiastic towards Zi You. She pulled Zi You over by her side and said, with fake smiles, âGood child, come over and let Waipo [maternal grandmother] take a look. En, youâre thinner than the last time you were here. Why? Did your mother not take good care of you? Tell Waipo. Waipo will seek justice for you.â
Zi You hurriedly shook her head. She secretly glanced at Wang Yiping. She carefully said, âItâs not that mother didnât take good care of me. Itâs that I made mother mad. Mother...â
âOkay, if you donât speak, no one will think youâre mute.â Zi Youâs words werenât finished, but Wang Yiping stopped her and glared at her.
Duke Yingguo furen immediately looked at her in displeasure. She blamed, âWhat do you mean? Are you giving me attitude? Iâm showing concern for my granddaughter. Whatâs wrong with that?â
Concern for your granddaughter? That darned Mu Zi You and you have no relationship whatsoever. Why would you care about her? You just want to hear about me and laugh at me.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wang Yipingâs face turned cold. She laughed strangely at Zi You. âWhy arenât you thanking your Waipo? See how much she cares about you? She cares about you more than her daughter: me. You are really blessed.â
Zi You couldnât help but want to laugh. Not bad. Not bad. The enemy of an enemy is my friend. It seems like Wang Yiping and her Di motherâs relationship was awful. Thatâs great. I donât have to directly confront Wang Yiping. I just have to âgreetâ âWaipoâ more often. Wouldnât âWaipoâ make trouble for this lowly wench?
Zi You smiled as sweet as flowers. Her words seemed as if honey was added. âThat canât be it. Youâer was always sorry that she didnât have a Waipo. Itâs great now. I not only have Waipo and Waigong [maternal grandfather], but also an uncle and aunt. Itâs great.â
Zi You then pulled Duke Yingguo furenâs arms and leaned her head on the old womanâs shoulder. Her dreamy and admiring face angered Wang Yiping.
