Chapter 340: Female Demoness
Lady Sun glanced at the clothes she was wearing, having just arrived at the Wang Family, she was still unsure of the situation and did not dare to act rashly.
She had no choice but to whisper, "Madam, my clothes are missing, it’s not appropriate for me to go out like this—"
"Who are you calling madam? What are you babbling about? A bought concubine dares to call me madam? Aren’t those your clothes on the straw? Here in our Wang Family, you’re not allowed to wear bright colors, and you’d better wipe off that red dye from your fingernails now! You’ve come to our Wang Family to be a concubine, not to enjoy yourself, so stop putting on airs. I’m not one of those blind and deluded men who falls for your tricks!"
After berating Lady Sun, Old Granny Zhang turned her head, "Zhuzhu, teach her what those old grandmothers in the city call the concubines their sons buy?"
Wang Yongzhu, amused, looked at Lady Sun’s embarrassed state and said leisurely, "Either call her Old Granny or Madam. In our house, from now on, Lady Sun will call me Old Granny, alright. Don’t make a mistake!"
"That’s right! From now on, you call me Old Granny, and for every mistake, you’ll go hungry for a meal!" Old Granny Zhang laid down the rule.
At that moment, Lady Sun knew that when under someone else’s roof, one must bow their head, and even her protector, Wang Yongfu, had been tied to a tree, so what could she, a weak woman, do? It was better to set aside her pride for now.
She nodded obediently, "I understand, Old Granny," and then went inside to change into the grey and mottled patched gown.
Patch after patch covered the gown, which carried a certain smell.
It was the same outfit that Lady Lin had worn when she had escaped from the Lin Family. Hearing that Old Granny Zhang had given Lady Sun an old garment, she was too stingy to part with any of the new clothes she had made after returning to the Wang Family, so she had chosen this one.
Lady Sun, smelling the odor on the clothes, felt a surge of nausea but managed to endure and barely tied up her disheveled hair with straw.
