Chapter 1274 - 164, toad with a skin disease_4
The first to look askance at Lady Liu was, of course, Lady Han, who cherished her daughter as much as life itself.
Lady Han was an exceedingly beautiful woman, and although she had birthed three children, time seemed to favor her generously, leaving few traces upon her face. Her own meticulous self-care, along with the love and affection from her husband and children, was undoubtedly a big reason for this.
Women spoiled by their husbands are often proud, and sure enough, Lady Han’s first words were laced with malice.
"So you’re that little country girl’s mother? Hmph, not much to look at!" Lady Han size up Lady Liu with a dismissive glance and tossed out the insult unceremoniously.
Besides Lady Han, the second person to dislike Lady Liu was naturally Yao Hanai’s mother, Lady Meng. Similar to Yao Hanai, Lady Meng was also a very intelligent woman, and she would not outright scold her like Lady Han did.
She covered her mouth with a chuckle, "Madam Su is always so forthright; I hope Madam Lin won’t take offense."
Having her face ridiculed in such a manner, Lady Liu’s expression soured, especially since Lady Han had called her daughter a little country girl, with a look of disdain no less. What’s wrong with being a village girl? Did being from a rural background mean one was inherently inferior to others?
"Madam Yao exaggerates, of course, I will not stoop to her level," Lady Liu kept her spine straight as she spoke, her words were common, but her tone was resolute and beyond doubt.
