Chapter 479 - 477: The Clever and Compliant Lady Yu
Lady Yu noticed that the scene really wasn’t a good look, and upon seeing the man crying miserably at her feet, a disdainful glint that couldn’t be ignored flashed across her eyes. She forced a smile and said, "Miss, how about we talk inside? It’s getting late, and I’m not sure if you’ve had dinner yet?"
Wang Yongzhu thought that Boss Qian’s legitimate wife was quite an interesting person, and her attitude softened a bit as she shook her head.
Lady Yu quickly instructed the kitchen staff to prepare a meal and then invited Wang Yongzhu to rest inside.
As for Qian Dahao, Lady Yu, without changing her expression or skipping a beat, grabbed his collar and dragged him inside like a dead dog.
After they had taken their seats and exchanged a few pleasantries, Lady Yu realized that she had misunderstood the situation; her husband hadn’t harbored any lustful intentions towards the Wang Family Young Lady, but rather, he had coveted her business dealings.
Lady Yu had also heard Boss Qian mention the name Wong Yongzhu; though she no longer had feelings for him, they typically only saw each other during meals and avoided each other whenever possible.
It was during meal times, while listening to him talking to his concubines, that she overheard snippets about how a girl’s family, relying on dyeing fabric that had won the favor of the palace ladies, actually dared to get involved in the mountain goods trade.
Ever since her family’s business had improved, Boss Qian disdained Lady Yu for constantly being seen in public, bringing shame, and for fear of being laughed at, he, a businessman of his standing, still let his wife carry mountain goods on her back.
Using his children’s futures and reputations as leverage, he forced Lady Yu to stay idle at home. Instead, she created a large vegetable garden in the backyard to pass her time.
Because of this, Boss Qian looked down on Lady Yu even more, considering her a lowly creature not even capable of enjoying the good fortune she had.
Lady Yu had been tolerant for the sake of her children. At first, Boss Qian felt somewhat guilty, but seeing Lady Yu’s silent suffering, he became increasingly arrogant.
