Free Web NovelChapter 3343: Chapter 3344: How Could This Be
"Those commoners, they just believe whatever they hear, whether it’s true or not. They know nothing. If you ask me, the City Lord’s wife would never favor that woman from the wilderness. It’s simply bringing shame to the City Lord’s Mansion.
What kind of mother-in-law would like her daughter-in-law to come from some remote corner? It’s certainly just gossip spread by those ignorant commoners."
"Hmph!"
The woman sneered again at her maid’s words.
She also knew it was just gossip. How could the Junior City Lord be matched with those unworthy women?
Even if that woman was the Junior City Lord’s legitimate wife, so what? Once she entered the City Lord’s Mansion, wouldn’t she have to obediently give up the seat of the Junior City Lord’s wife?
As for that woman, she could reluctantly allow her to be a concubine maid for the Junior City Lord.
That would be a favor to that woman.
"Such a clueless creature, wanting to compete with me! I must go and see what that little vixen looks like, to have captivated the Junior City Lord’s soul."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She was the one chosen from childhood to be the Junior City Lord’s wife, and now she had been intercepted by this woman out of nowhere. How could she not be angry?
"Let’s go, follow me to the City Lord’s Mansion."
"Miss, please don’t!"
The maid turned pale with fright at her words about going to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Everyone knew how dearly the Junior City Lord cherished his wife, and even the City Lord and his wife doted on this daughter-in-law. Only her ladyship thought of herself as someone of importance, capable of outshining others.
Were it not for being her ladyship’s maid, how could she say bad things about others against her conscience?
But now, her ladyship wanted to go to the City Lord’s Mansion, at a time of common celebration? Wasn’t this asking for humiliation?
Even the Sixth Elder had to greet others with a smile and offer congratulations at the City Lord’s Mansion today.
Yet her ladyship, she was a hundred percent sure, was simply going to stir trouble for the Junior City Lord’s wife, possibly causing a major incident. How could that be allowed?
"Hmm?"
The woman’s sharp gaze swept over the maid, as if she wanted to swallow her whole.
"What do you mean by this?"
"Um..."
The maid was at a loss for words. How could she possibly say that the Junior City Lord would never fancy her ladyship?
She wouldn’t dare say such a thing, or she’d be put to death!
"Miss, the City Lord and his wife care greatly about their reputation. Today’s feast is to celebrate the Junior City Lord’s return, with all the distinguished family heads and their wives present at the City Lord’s Mansion.
If you openly oppose the woman brought back by the Junior City Lord now, it would tarnish the reputation of the City Lord and his wife, making a laughing stock of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Not only would it fail to drive that woman away, it would also displease the City Lord and his wife. Besides, the Junior City Lord surely prefers gentle and graceful women. If you cause a scene at his feast...
Miss, think about it, what could you possibly have with the Junior City Lord after that?"
She quietly reminded her ladyship not to make a mistake that could implicate even the Sixth Elder.
Of course, she wouldn’t say this directly to her ladyship, but she could press on her ladyship’s weakness—concern about the City Lord and his wife’s opinion—and apply medicine to the ailment accordingly.
