Chapter Fifty-Five is good

  Look, I knew it would be criticized like this.

  Mrs. Zhou's smile became even more stiff.

  "It's nothing, you all know that Old Master Chen is fine, but I'm really worried, she can't bear to part with him." She said hastily.

  "When she comes back, you have to take her out of here and go to my place no matter what." The woman said with a hint of a smile but an unyielding tone.

  "Just go, as long as you don't mind the trouble." said Mrs. Zhou with a smile.

  Just then, the servant woman came in and kowtowed.

  "Madam, Tabi has returned," she said.

  Mrs. Zhou's face suddenly froze, while the woman was overjoyed.

  "Oh dear, how nice!" She said hastily, "Quickly invite him to come and meet."

  You're back! How did you come back at this time? If you're going to come back, just come back. What's the point of having this useless woman rush over and shout?!

  Mrs. Zhou was in a great hurry.

  What's wrong with this woman? Doesn't she know any better? If she refuses to come and see us, are we supposed to drag her here by force? Wouldn't that be a complete loss of face?!

  "The young lady has come over to pay her respects to the madam." The servant woman said happily, without noticing the madam's expression.

  Mrs. Zhou's expression did not relax, but instead became even more astonished.

  What is she trying to do?

  Others didn't think as much as she did. The young brides all looked out, and the madams couldn't bear their curiosity and sat up straight.

  A woman walked slowly outside the door, her clothes were bright and beautiful, her movements were elegant, her face was delicate like porcelain, but her expression was calm, her eyes were quiet and dry.

  Everyone was busy turning away, and the dazzling scene before their eyes suddenly disappeared, leaving only a pair of slightly chilling eyes in their impression.

  It's indeed a leftover from past foolishness, what a pity for such a beauty.

  "Aunt." Jingniang knelt and paid her respects.

  The voice is also unpleasant to hear, and the young women present exchange glances with each other, sighing what a pity.

  The women didn't wait for Mrs. Zhou, who was still in shock, to speak and one of them couldn't help but open her mouth.

  "Miss Chang, I heard you cured Old Man Chen, that's amazing!"

  Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth in secret.

  "Jiaojiao, aren't you tired? Go back and rest first, your body isn't well either." She said hurriedly.

  As soon as the words fell, I felt a sharp gaze beside me.

  "Come, come, we've finally met. I'm so ashamed to be the elder one and not even give you a gift for meeting," said a woman with a smile, stretching out her hand to beckon Jingniang, slipping off the gold bangle from her wrist.

  Jiang Nang didn't move, and the woman's actions became somewhat awkward.

  Look, this woman doesn't even understand the most basic etiquette, thought Mrs. Zhou.

  "Miss Chang, I heard you can diagnose illnesses. May I ask if it's possible for me to request your help?" Another lady asked straightforwardly.

  Mrs. Zhou was speechless, and it wasn't just this foolish He who didn't understand etiquette.

  "Of course, yes." Jingniang looked at the lady and said woodenly.

  Mrs. Zhou was shocked.

  May I?

  Isn't it possible?

  This was a sentence Mrs. Zhou had been expecting, but it wasn't what she wanted to hear at this moment, especially when she had just found an excuse to shirk.

  When he should have come to pay his respects, he didn't; when he shouldn't have come, he did.

  When you should keep silent, you speak; when you shouldn't speak, you remain silent.

  This woman, why is she so troublesome, is it intentional?

  As night fell, Madame Zhou walked into the house, where Old Master Zhou was leaning on a table and sleeping, his face flushed with drunkenness. The two maids who were massaging his legs and back hurried to pay their respects.

  Madam Zhou's maid waved her hand and the servant girls hastily retreated.

  A servant woman put down a tray full of dishes on the ground, the sound of which made Old Man Zhou open his eyes. He sat up straight, with a hint of fatigue after waking up from drunkenness.

  The servant woman had already spread a hot towel on the ground and wiped her face with it.

  "Tomorrow, the Meitengtang family has invited you, take the kids and go for a visit." Old Man Zhou said.

  During the New Year's festival, it is also a festival. In the capital city, relatives and friends, superiors and colleagues, all need to socialize properly. Whoever invites you, whoever comes to your home, many eyes are watching, from which to determine the future interactions with them.

  "We can't go." said Mrs. Zhou.

  Old Zhou frowned.

  "Look at this," said Mrs. Zhou, pointing to the various notices scattered on the ground.

  Old Zhou was somewhat surprised.

  "What are these?" he asked, "ones you haven't been to yet?"

  It's about time for people to be on the move.

  "It's all because of your good niece's face." Madam Zhou said with a bad tone.

  Mr. Zhou looked at her with some puzzlement.

  "Is it not good?" he asked.

  They invited this woman to live with them, wasn't it for this reason? Firstly, to cultivate relationships of kinship and affection, secondly, to repay the kindness of the Chen family, and thirdly, to obtain more connections through the divine medical formula.

  He didn't feel embarrassed, to put it bluntly, this was indeed due to the woman's face.

  Mr. Zhou flipped through those name cards and found that there were many more families who had never come to pay their respects during the New Year's festival in previous years.

  "Yes, she doesn't like to go and see people off, it's also understandable, after all, she is an unmarried young lady from a good family, we are not that poor, you don't have to be afraid of offending anyone, either way, it's not worth mentioning who looks down on whom."

  "She is willing to see." said Mrs. Zhou.

  "...If I don't want to, then I won't. Originally, this is what others are begging us for...what?" Old Master Zhou said, stopping and looking at Mrs. Zhou.

  "Today, in front of everyone, she said she could see illness." Madam Zhou said with a bad tone.

  Old Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed.

  "This is not better," he said.

  "What's good about it." Mrs. Zhou was in a bad mood, looking gloomy, "She agreed so readily, and I became the culprit instead. You didn't see people talking behind my back when they left, saying that I had been stopping her from treating others all this time."

  It was for this reason, women are always concerned about these things, Old Man Zhou laughed haha.

  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just say what you want to say. Later on, they'll still be asking for your help." He said with a smile, suddenly feeling invigorated, and beckoned for more wine to be brought over.

  "I hope so, she'd better not cause me any more trouble." said Mrs. Zhou, while personally helping her husband set up the wine and dishes, "I've raised these children, they all say that our Zhou family's martial artists are mischievous, but none of them have given me a headache like this... it's no wonder the Cheng family refused to let her into their home..."

  Cheng's family didn't allow her into their home...

  At this point, Mrs. Zhou paused, as if something important had reminded her.

  "Old master, you said that this Cheng family is also because of the trouble caused by this woman, so they have been sending her to live in a nunnery and not allowing her to enter the house?" she asked.

  "Cheng's family?" Old Master Zhou spat, "Those are just fools, what can they see? They drove my sister to death back then, that idiot... the child must have hatred in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't go to their house to live. If Cheng's family knew it was Chen's household who invited her, even the late Old Master Cheng would probably crawl out of his grave to follow."

  When it comes to the Cheng family, Old Man Zhou showed no courtesy at all.

  That's also true.

  Mrs. Zhou nodded.

  "And also, remind that silly child to remember the hardships her mother went through in the past, and the hardships our family went through. And most importantly, if it weren't for the Programme family bullying us, Old Lady wouldn't have passed away so early." said Mr. Zhou.

  In short, let this child know who is a relative and who is an enemy.

  "That family of Cheng will never come back. In the future, find a good family in the capital to marry into and live a good life." Old Master Zhou said.

  "Can she still get married?" Mrs. Zhou said with a pause.

  "How can't she get married? Even blind and crippled people can get married. Besides, isn't it all settled?" Old Master Zhou said with a glare.

  At this time, wine and dishes were served, and Mrs. Zhou poured wine with her sleeve.

  "I think it's probably better not to get married," she said with a faint smile.
