Chapter 247 - 124: On Squeezing Out (Part 2)
"Mother!" Shi Yumei didn’t take it seriously and laughed, "It’s just a piece of fabric! I have made quite a few clothes this time, and keeping that fabric around is useless, so I just gave it away! Besides, there will be newer fabrics next year!"
"You really!" Mrs. Wang sighed, but she was helpless with this daughter.
Seeing her mother-in-law discussing a matter not fit for outsiders with her daughter, Sang Wan quickly stood up with a smile and excused herself, and Shi Lian took the opportunity to leave as well. The two of them went out together.
Shi Yumei, seeing them leave and fearing her mother would give her a lengthy lecture, hurriedly excused herself as well, making a gesture to Gu Fangzi and taking her along too.
"Mother, I’ll send Cousin back! I’ll come back in the afternoon to chat with you!"
"This child, ah!" Mrs. Wang couldn’t stop her and lamented. She then said to Mrs. Jiang, "What do you think of her? She’s so muddleheaded, with not the slightest discernment! That Cui Bao obviously doesn’t look like a contented person, yet she’s totally charmed by her!"
Mrs. Wang could scold Shi Yumei, but Mrs. Jiang dared not agree, so she just smiled and said: "Perhaps the Mistress is overthinking it, the banana garden is just by our mansion, always kept disciplined and proper, without any unpleasant rumors! Don’t worry, who would dare to bully our young Miss!"
"Hmph! Not daring now!" Mrs. Wang scoffed and said, "I’m not just saying this! You just wait and see! If she dares to cause any trouble in our mansion now, I would sell her tomorrow! How things turn out later is hard to say! Xiangyun satin is such an expensive fabric, is it something a concubine should wear? If she was really proper, she should have declined it, yet she even dared to wear it outside to show off!"
"Our young Miss is the legitimate wife, even if there are seductive vixens, they won’t surpass her! Moreover, who would dare to oppose the Shi family! You really worried too much, Mistress!" Mrs. Jiang hurriedly smiled and soothed.
