Standing before Wang Shouzhe was a middle-aged woman dressed with meticulous care. Her hair was adorned with a pearl hairpin, her wrist donned a jade bracelet, her feet in high-stepping cloud boots, and her body draped with an opulent multi-colored cloud-patterned silk dress, making her appear like a noblewoman from the city.
Furthermore, she had taken great pains with her makeup before her arrival, her face painted and lips lightly tinted crimson. She didn’t look like someone in her forties at all, but rather like a mature beauty in her late twenties, a testament to her regular self-care. And her brother-in-law Wang Shouxin must dote on her quite a bit, spoiling her for sure.
It was just that her eyes were somewhat red, clearly having cried not long ago.
What was extremely rare was that she was also carrying a large bamboo basket, covered with a red cloth on top.
Upon seeing Wang Shouzhe’s polite demeanor, Xu Family’s initial tension and hostility in her heart dissolved somewhat, and she immediately returned the gesture with due reverence, “Xu Family pays respects to Fourth Uncle.” “Sister-in-law, you are too kind.” Wang Shouzhe smiled sincerely, “Please come in, sister-in-law, come in and rest in the side hall, my mother is also present.” Saying so, he cordially guided Xu Family into the side hall.
Xu Family’s expression tightened as she saw Gongsun Hui and quickly paid her respects, “Xu Family pays respects to Elder Madam Hui.” She always carried herself with pride, being from the direct line of the Changning Xu Family, she had married Wang Shouxin with the mindset of marrying below her. But proud as she might be, she dared not put on airs in front of the direct daughter of the Shanyang Gongsun Clan.
Moreover, the Gongsun Clan was the wife of the First Clan Leader and the father’s first wife of the current Clan Leader, her elder!
“Oh, it’s Shouxin’s wife who has come. What wind has blown you here?” Gongsun Hui’s words carried a hint of pressure, but she said with a smiling face, “Come, come, have a seat and talk, just in time to taste the Spirit seed from my father-in-law’s personal cultivation.”
