Chapter 443 Uncle Wang and Lady Xie Come Again (3)_1
Lin Fugui was preoccupied with his ox cart and, after chatting with Uncle Wang for a while, hurried away.
Lin Yuan and Xiao Linshuang escorted him to the door together. Lin Yuan’s eyes inadvertently glanced and caught sight of a familiar figure slipping into Mo Sanniang’s fabric shop across the street.
Lin Yuan had a bad feeling about this and had a particular distaste for people who were as persistent and annoying as flies. Sending Xiao Linshuang back to their own shop to wait, Lin Yuan quickened her pace and entered Mo Sanniang’s shop.
Inside, there were not only Mo Sanniang and Lady Xie, but also two young ladies who were picking out fabric.
The moment Lady Xie entered, Mo Sanniang’s smile froze. ’Why is this old hag here again?’ she thought.
Seeing Mo Sanniang looking at her, Lady Xie, for the first time, did not put on her usual haughtiness. Instead, she gave a rather embarrassed and somewhat ingratiating smile. This left Mo Sanniang dumbfounded. ’Could it be that the old woman had fallen ill and it had affected her brain?’ she wondered.
However, seeing that she did not chase off the customers as she had done before and was instead standing politely to one side waiting, Mo Sanniang’s hanging heart settled somewhat. As long as she did not embarrass her in front of the customers, she could accept the old woman staying in her shop for a while.
Lin Yuan, at the doorway, seeing no trouble from the old hag, said nothing and quietly stood to one side, wanting to see what she was up to.
The two young ladies each chose two rolls of fabric, paid with silver, and left. In the past, Lady Xie’s eyes would have been fixed on the silver Mo Sanniang received, but this time she did not even glance at the silver. She either stood respectfully with her head bowed or looked at Mo Sanniang with a complicated expression, unsure of what to think.
