Chapter 629 - 627: Exaggerate
Lady Xia had sent Sister Hu, partly to show Gao Jin the importance she placed on the Wang Family Young Lady, and also to have Sister Hu probe the Young Lady’s background.
That morning, after dispatching Sister Hu, Lady Xia became restless with worry.
She rushed through a few household chores, and just as someone was bringing up breakfast, she heard Sister Hu’s wailing.
Before she could react, she saw a disheveled old granny throw herself in front of her.
Lady Xia was so frightened that she almost dropped her bowl of bird’s nest porridge on the floor.
On a closer look, who could this disheveled, dirtied granny be if not Sister Hu?
"Weren’t you sent to deliver the betrothal gifts to the Wang Family? How did you come back looking like this?" Lady Xia’s eyes widened, incredulously staring at Sister Hu.
Sister Hu had always been fastidious, her hair always combed without a hair out of place, her clothes neat and clean.
Lady Xia had never seen her in such disarray, as though she had rolled around on the ground a few times.
Sister Hu looked up, and Lady Xia, unable to hold it in, spilled the entire bowl of bird’s nest porridge on the floor with a "Pfft—Sister Hu, what happened to you?"
When Sister Hu didn’t lift her head, Lady Xia felt angry, but once Sister Hu looked up, her disfigured face was apparent to all.
