She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Lady Zhao saw that Wong Qiao was still as respectful and obedient as before, her expression softened slightly as she stood up and helped him to his feet, saying, "As a mother, I shouldn’t be reprimanding you the moment after such a long separation. However, choosing a wife is a major decision, and you went ahead without consulting me, deciding solely based on your own preferences. Where does that leave your mother who raised you with so much hardship?"

Wong Qiao once again replied, "Yes, Mother, you’re right, it was wrong of me to decide on my own. I will remember this and won’t do it again."

"Hmm, sit down and let’s talk," Lady Zhao said, noticing Wong Qiao’s good attitude and gesturing for him to sit down.

Wong Qiao glanced up at Lady Zhao, who was now seated with poise, and tentatively said, "I already know I was wrong. But Second Miss Zhou is quite a decent person and she comes from a good family. You’ve been here for a few days now, have you taken a liking to her?"

Once Lady Zhao heard Wong Qiao’s question, her face darkened again. It took a good while before she spoke somewhat coldly, "I was just about to talk to you about this matter. Ah Qiao, you really don’t think things through. The Prefectural Magistrate holds such a high position, can we really reach that high? Don’t you understand to think it over more—how could the daughter of such a high official at the court be willing to marry you if she were any good?"

Wong Qiao was immediately stunned and looked at Lady Zhao in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and humiliation. How could his mother say such things about Biyao? Biyao was only seventeen this year; when she had come to the Qi family to pester Ye Zi, she had just turned fifteen and was still something of a mischievous young girl. How could his mother speak about her like that!

By speaking such words about Biyao, his mother was not only sullying Biyao’s name and dragging her through the mud, but she was also insulting her own son.

Lady Zhao gave Wong Qiao a cold glance, seeing the change in his expression and couldn’t help but stern her face as she lowered her eyelids and asked coldly, "What? You haven’t even married yet, and my only son is planning to set his mother aside and begin to find faults with the old woman?"
