Chapter 1026 - 1028: Zhao Yang’s Innermost Feelings (5)
Juhua dragged Cai Wei along, as sticky as taffy, one minute wanting to go shopping with her, and the next insisting on showing her the rabbits she was raising. Although clearly older than Cai Wei, she acted much like a child.
Looking affectionately at her childish daughter, she laughed and said, "You girl, you’re all grown up and still hopping around, just like a little child. Why can’t you be steady like Cai Wei?"
Juhua, unyielding, said, "How am I acting like a child? Have you forgotten? Just the other day when Shen Furong was provoking you, it was I who dealt with her!"
Madam Cui, scoffing, laughed and said, "That was only because you borrowed Cai Wei’s name. What’s there to be proud of?"
Hearing this, Juhua became agitated, "So what if I borrowed Cai Wei’s name? Cai Wei didn’t mind. It was an emergency. Had I not said that the hairpin on mother’s head was a gift from Cai Wei, she would have certainly forced you to pay heavy respects to her. By then, mother, your honor throughout Bianzhou Prefecture would have been lost!"
Seeing her daughter distressed, Madam Cui helplessly laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it was Miss Juhua who made a contribution, Miss Juhua is indeed clever, gentle, and composed. Is that enough now?"
"Hmph, that’s more like it!"
Satisfied, Juhua, with an arrogant lift of her chin, took Cai Wei’s hand, "Come on, Cai Wei, let me take you to see my rabbits."
While going to see the rabbits, Cai Wei curiously asked, "What you just mentioned about dealing with Shen Furong, what happened? I remember Shen Furong was married off to Bianzhou Prefecture, wasn’t she? How did she come back to cause trouble?"
