Chapter 562 - 556_1
Fangcao thought to herself that Zhang Qiusheng had feelings for the Chen Family, she couldn’t do anything about it before she entered the door, and if she spoke too ill of the Chen Family in front of Zhang Qiusheng, he would instead feel repulsed. However, even if she couldn’t deal with the Chen Family, it was still possible to handle Zhang Xiaoyu, that blockhead. Although the woman looked decent, she wasn’t very smart, and now having done such a thing, it was the perfect time for Zhang Qiusheng to disgust her. Fangcao just needed to give him a little more to see, and she was certain Zhang Qiusheng would grow even more tired of this bumbling daughter. Zhang Xiaoyu was the Chen Family’s biological daughter after all; the Chen Family could never truly wash their hands of her.
Fangcao’s calculations were precise as she had figured out Zhang Qiusheng’s temperament these days. When Zhang Qiusheng heard Fangcao mention his disappointing daughter, indeed, he was infuriated, especially since today, when he went back, he found out Zhang Xiaoyu had cursed Fangcao’s unborn child behind her back. This made Zhang Qiusheng so angry he was ready to explode. How could he have fathered such a bothersome creature, with thoughts so malevolent that she even cursed her own uncle? He immediately sent the **** to reflect in a room.
As Fangcao brought it up this time, though Zhang Qiusheng couldn’t speak about how Zhang Xiaoyu had cursed Fangcao’s child in her belly, and Fangcao was unaware, guilt still rose in his heart. No wonder Fangcao feared marrying into the Zhang Family. He would have to be more vigilant about the **** from now on, to prevent her from bringing harm to Fangcao’s child in the womb. After all, this child was the one their family had been hoping for, for so many years.
On Lin Yue’s side, after Zhang Qiusheng reported the finalized date, she immediately granted him a few days off, allowing him to return home and prepare well. Although the workshops were bustling due to Zhao Erhu going out to sea, Lin Yue wasn’t so harsh as to skimp on this little bit of time. In fact, Zhang Qiusheng, grateful for Lin Yue’s kindness, thought about speeding up the work process and only asked for two days off.
"Madam is generous, but I cannot lose my sense of proportion. Everyone in the workshop is currently rushing to produce goods, and two days are already enough for me. I couldn’t possibly delay any further otherwise, how could I live up to Madam’s kindness? As for Fangcao, once she has entered our household, she will be well looked after by my mother, and there is absolutely no need for worry."
Lin Yue was very satisfied with Zhang Qiusheng’s attitude, "Since that is the case, I will let you arrange everything yourself. These days, the workshop is indeed busy and everyone is working hard. After this busy period, I will surely reward everyone well."
"I will pass Madam’s words on to everyone. We have been with the Zhao Family for so long; everyone knows what kind of person Madam is. Although we’ve been busy and tired these days, when has Madam ever mistreated us? Everyone appreciates this in their hearts, and that’s why we work so eagerly. Madam can rest assured."
On the day Zhang Qiusheng welcomed Fangcao across the threshold, although Lin Yue did not go in person, she sent Xixi to deliver a gift, which was a set of pure silver jewelry, quite heavy. Originally, she had the notion to go and join in the excitement, after all, she hadn’t really seen how the ancients celebrated such an occasion, but Madam Xu persuaded her otherwise.
"Madam, with your current status, going there is somewhat inappropriate, after all, Master Zhang is marrying a concubine, not a principal wife. Your presence would seem to be supporting Fangcao. Although we loathe that Zhang Xiaoyu, there’s no need to give Fangcao such face. Sending a gift over has already given her immense honor; there’s no reason for you to go personally and invite talk."
Hearing Madam Xu speak this way, Lin Yue also dismissed the idea, "Madam Xu is right. I wasn’t thinking it through. Let Xixi take the gifts then, and deliver them directly into the hands of Master Zhang, so that he can give them to Fangcao."
