Chapter 140 - 70 Aunt Wu’s Cunning_2
"Oh my dear elder sister, what are you saying! I have full confidence in your work; how could it be unsuitable! I must say, even if all the servants in the manor disregard our family’s dignity, you definitely would not. No need for further checking, no need at all!" Mrs. Wang hurriedly said with a smile, while commanding Aunt Wu to apologize.
Aunt Wu found herself in a dilemma like a mouse caught between bellows, receiving flak from both sides. In her heart, she scolded Gu Fangzi to no end, but at this moment, what could she do except obediently apologize and admit her fault?
What didn’t Mrs. Li understand? Aunt Wu was by no means a troublemaker, and besides, she wasn’t foolish enough to jump out and point out her own faults! This repetitive occurrence must undoubtedly involve that vixen, Fangzi.
Yet she still refuses to settle down, insisting on slinging mud at both herself and the first wife. If she isn’t taught a harsh lesson, she really might think everyone else is a fool to be manipulated at her whim!
"Miss, we should bring that sedan chair in! Today in front of you, servant must make clear this matter, otherwise, one might believe servant deliberately caused mischief! Servant may not have always agreed with you fully, but servant can still distinguish priorities and would never dare to play with the reputation of the Shi family or your honor, miss!"
Mrs. Li’s words resounded with firmness, and Mrs. Wang found it inconvenient to retort, so she had to consent.
Aunt Wu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered people to carry in the modest green sedan chair. After all, she had said her piece and the chair had already been presented before the lady of the house; whatever happened next had nothing to do with her!
As the modest green sedan chair was brought in, Mrs. Li said, "Miss, please take a look, this sedan chair was specially made to order by craftsmen, and not a single material used is subpar! The cushions inside are soft and the curtains are also made of the finest green silk. If this is not satisfactory, what is?" Then sighing, "The cousin just finished the first seven days of funeral rites, how could the sedan chair not be plain? Should it be decked with red and joyous decorations? Master Gu from the heavens would be watching! If it was indeed garishly adorned, that would truly be causing shame and saying that our Shi Mansion doesn’t understand the rules!"
