Chapter 577 Climbing Up the Wealthy Family (3)_1
Wang Qiaoxin’s words pierced Old man Chen’s heart like nails, and his hand trembling as he waved his walking cane. What had he just said? Had he really called the County Magistrate’s daughter a wild woman? He had messed up badly. Their Chen family would be lucky enough to have such a favorable marriage; how could he push her away? Didn’t that lady just say so herself? Her father thought highly of Da Zhuzi, and as long as he was willing to help, even if Da Zhuzi didn’t pass the exam for a high-ranking official position, he was bound to have a promising future.
Originally, Old man Chen didn’t believe in such things, but ever since he was reprimanded by Xia Zheng that day, his words had been ringing in his ears constantly. He had never been to the Capital, had no idea what it was like, and didn’t even understand that his son had not gone to the Capital to take the imperial examination but to Yecheng to attend the state examination. Since there was a gap between him and Chen Zhu, who seldom mentioned these things in his presence, Old man Chen was even more clueless.
"Miss Wang?" Old man Chen, a man who had always stubbornly refused to bow before anyone, softened his tone on this occasion, because in his heart he believed that if he could just secure the County Magistrate’s daughter now, once she entered the Chen family and became his daughter-in-law, he would have plenty of chances to set the rules for her.
"Miss Wang, it was I who spoke without restraint just now, please do not take it to heart. Quickly, quickly, why aren’t you inviting Miss Wang into the house to sit?"
Old man Chen wanted to speak to Aunt Chen, but since he couldn’t see, he had no idea where she was and could only stiffen his neck and talk at random.
Seeing him give in, Wang Qiaoxin despised him all the more. Looking at their house, half-ruined, her brows furrowed tightly, and she was dead set against entering.
