Lady Wang gloated. However, she had her head lowered, which prevented anyone else from seeing the mocking smile on her face.
After wiping the sneer off her face, Lady Wang said mildly, "Mother, I think Xiao Wu knows how to handle something like this. She's a well-behaved and decent girl…"
However, the old lady cut her off with a snort. "Well-behaved? No such rumor would spread if she really were well-behaved!"
"Maybe someone made it up out of jealousy…"
"Heh —" The old lady smirked. "Jealous of her? What for? What does she have now that's worth that kind of attention?"
Before Lady Wang could say another word, the old lady waved at her. "You can stop trying to make excuses for her!"
Lady Wang seemed reluctant to do as she was told, but she nodded in the end.
However, a smile flickered in her lowered eyes.
Feng Wu, the old lady is prejudiced by her first impressions already. I'd like to see you talk your way out of this!
