Chapter 327 - 326: Shameless
Seeing several men glaring at her menacingly, Mrs. Wu was slightly scared, but she was Wang Cheng’s mother-in-law, what did she have to fear? As impudent and obstinate as she was, once she realized this, her backbone instantly stiffened. She raised her voice and exclaimed, "I am your uncle’s mother-in-law, a superior to your grand madam. Offend me, and you’re offending your uncle, and your grand madam too."
Those guards were accustomed to judging people’s status, and they knew the grand madam’s favourite maid did not like this old woman, so they were certain the grand madam must feel the same way. "Nonsense, just who do you think you are? A country bumpkin trying to play at being the grand madam’s elder? You must know, our grand madam is an imperial consort appointed by the emperor himself. How dare you compare! Leave, don’t disturb our grand madam’s peace."
Upon hearing of such a distinguished background, Granny Wu was even more determined to flatter this prestigious guest.
At this point, Wang Cheng and Mrs. Li came out.
On seeing Wang Cheng, Granny Wu began to shout, "Oh, there you are, son-in-law! Quickly send your niece to my house. This hovel of yours is hardly fit to host an imperial consort."
Wang Cheng glanced at Granny Wu and said, "Mother-in-law, let’s go then, to your place." He walked quickly towards the exit.
Granny Wu noticed only a woman in her forties following Wang Cheng. Although this woman was draped in jewels, Granny Wu knew she was definitely not Wang Cheng’s relative. The age didn’t match.
Wishing to leave a good impression on the consort within the house, she jovially called out, "Is it just these few of you going? Where’s your niece? We must invite her. Bring my daughter, my grandson, my granddaughter, all of them. Those two little monkeys have a taste for meat, today we’ll let them feast."
