Chapter 288: The Vigorous Elder, Lu Maoxian
Duan Shaohong stormed up to Duan Shaoxia with a newspaper in hand and slammed it onto the table. "What's the meaning of this? Why did you spread the news?"
Duan Shaoxia glanced at the newspaper. The headline read: Lu Family Falls Into Misfortune, Zhang Bochu Puts on a Green Hat for Wealth and Status.[1]
Duan Shaohong pointed at the newspaper and shouted, "Listen to how awful that sounds! How are our families supposed to hold our heads high after this?"
After reading the article, Duan Shaoxia tried to calm her down. "Why bother paying attention to this? Besides, the news was bound to come out sooner or later. The banquet is only a few days away. Are you still afraid people will find out?"
Duan Shaohong shoved Duan Shaoxia aside. "Once the matter is settled, I don't care what people say. But it hasn't been settled yet…"
At this moment, Monkey Qiu walked into the hall.
Duan Shaohong immediately turned on him and said fiercely, "Steward Qiu, you weren't the one who spread this news, were you?"
Monkey Qiu froze for a moment. "What news?"
Duan Shaohong threw the newspaper at him. "See for yourself!"
