CH 106

Wang Ru thought that Xuehan would happily take it, and then became jealous. But she didn’t expect to preach to her, her face turned dark, “It’s fine if I don’t accept my kindness, you don’t need you to teach me.”

Xuehan said indifferently, “In the future, don’t give away the jewelry that foreign men give you to others, so as not to misunderstand that you are insulting people with malicious intent. You offend people without even knowing it. Go now, and don’t come back in the future. We have no friendship whatsoever.”

Xuehan glanced at the pearl bracelet again. Listening to her mother’s speech, her mind has been growing. That Shi Gongzi1 gave such exquisite jewelry, which means he obviously regarded Wang Ru as one of his own. There was a difference between the bracelet and the bangle. The bangle was a common expression of gratitude for saving her life, nothing extraordinary. However, the bracelet was obviously carefully selected to fit Wang Ru’s size and it matched her perfectly. Shi Gongzi’s intentions were too obvious.

Wang Ru saved a lot of money and decided that now Zhou Xuehan and the male lead had no chance. Hence she was unwilling to pretend anymore, so she snorted, turned around, and left.

Zhulan turned her head and fell silent, the eldest daughter also eavesdropped!

Xuemei was embarrassed, but she didn’t hold back, and coughed, “Mother.”

Zhulan opened the curtain, “Go and see Xuehan.”

Upon hearing the commotion, Xuehan knew that her mother had overheard the conversation. Unable to hold back, she couldn’t help but criticize, “Mother, Wang Ru is completely unaware that Shi Gongzi regards her as one of his own. She’s so proud and oblivious. I remember Aunt Zheng describing Shi Gongzi as being sixteen or seventeen years old. In a year or two, he will undoubtedly get married. Wang Ru has no background, and all she can rely on is her beauty. In the future, she will probably be taken as a concubine by someone of higher status, but she has no realization of that. Her lack of restraint will surely harm her two sisters.”

Zhulan knew that the little girl was kind-hearted, “It’s good that you have a clear conscience. But you can’t control what Wang Ru does.”

Xuehan listened to too many scripts, and sighed: “It’s not easy for a woman, and it’s hard to find a way for a woman without a reputation.”

Xuemei was a little confused, “Mother, who is Wang Ru? Pearl bracelet? When did a rich family come to the village?”

Zhulan cleared her throat, told what happened to the Fourth Wang family, and finally concluded: “Now the Fourth Wang family is one of the richest people in the village. “

Xuemei twitched the corners of her mouth, the Zhou Family Village was really lively, but, “Mother, has Sanya changed too much? Cooking food, Sanya has never cooked before, why did she suddenly know how to make spicy cabbage and sausage? And Sanya can read? Did Xuehan teach her?”2

Xuehan shook her head, “Sister, I taught it to Sanya, but Sanya was so stupid that she couldn’t even write her own name. Later, she stopped learning, and I didn’t teach her. As for her literacy, I don’t know who taught her.”

Xuemei pondered, “This, What’s going on?”

Zhulan was eating pine nuts, don’t think that ancient people are stupid. Wang Ru’s unrestrained changes were all clear in the village. This morning, when she couldn’t, she was chatting with Zhou Shuren who told her that yesterday Patriarch Zhou also talked about Wang Ru’s changes. Some people said that she had run into a ghost, and some people went to Wang’s elders with red eyes and said that Wang Ru was a demon.

Fortunately, the elders of the Wang family were not foolish. They were well aware that if Wang Ru WAS accused of being a demon, it would be disastrous for the entire Wang family, regardless of gender. The entire Wang family would be implicated because of Wang Ru, especially at a time when a new dynasty has just been established. If there was a demon in the Wang family, it would imply that the Emperor was not virtuous and did not deserve the throne. It would be an act of impatience to create such trouble.

Even if the elders of the Wang family were beaten to death, they couldn’t admit it. They had no choice but to fabricate lies to protect Wang Ru as much as possible. Deep down, they wished that the entire Wang family, including the fourth son, would leave as soon as possible and go as far away as possible. Later on, the fourth son of the Wang family couldn’t buy even a tiny piece of land with the surplus money he had.

Patriarch Zhou specifically told Zhou Shuren that in the future he must be far away from the Wang family and should not have any contact with them. See, they were all very shrewd!

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren were secretly lucky, Fortunately, they didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, they extended their knowledge based on the original body. While Wang Ru stood out by introducing new things, they just stayed low-key.

Zhulan told the two daughters the reason why the Wang family lied, “The Wang family said that Wang Ru was entrusted by her ancestors in a dream, and she learned from her ancestors in the dream.”3

Xuemei, “…”

Xuehan, “…”

This reason was really insincere!

Zhulan’s mouth curved into a smirk. “And not to mention the absurdity of involving gods and Buddha in dream messages!”

Xuemei, “…Yes, the Wang family still knows what not to touch.”

Zhulan thought to herself, the brains of the elders of the family are all online!

Xuehan was amused by her sister’s tangled expression.

Zhulan was also happy, “Just don’t contact Fourth Wang’s family in the future.”

The two sisters nodded, thinking that Wang Ru was quite evil.

The next day, Patriarch Zhou and his wife came together. Patriarch Zhou came to see the situation of copying books and chatted with Zhou Shuren on the way.

The patriarch’s wife came to connect with Zhulan.

Zhulan greeted, “Xuemei, hurry up and make a pot of good tea and bring some pastries for your Grandma Wang to taste.”

Xuemei put down her needle and thread, “Okay, Mother.”

Zhou Shi said, looking at the finished clothes on the kang: “Is this a dress made for you?”

T/N Sorry for the delay in posting. Month end means rushing to finish work, and so this gets neglected a bit. Hope you all don’t mind.
