The general mood was rather embarra.s.sing.
Chaoge was furious.
That old lady was even worse than Lady w.a.n.g!
They knew perfectly well that Feng Wu was engaged to the crown prince, but that old lady still asked that question. She was deliberately trying to embarra.s.s Feng Wu!
Chaoge said grumpily, “Xiao Wu is already engaged. I’m afraid that your boys have lost the chance.”
The old lady didn’t expect to hear such a blunt reply. She frowned and asked, “Who’s she?”
Lady w.a.n.g told her who Chaoge’s father was.
“A Rank 3 official? No wonder she’s so ill-bred,” Mrs. Gu interjected. “I don’t think they’re acquainted with our family.”
She was suggesting that Chaoge wasn’t welcome here.
Feng Wu rose to her feet and chuckled. “If Old Mrs. Gu doesn’t like to have us here, we should be on our way.”
Of course, the Gu family couldn’t let that happen.
The old lady put on a smile and chided Mrs. Gu. “Don’t say that. We’re not that kind of family. If the young people want to visit us, of course, we’ll welcome them.”
Chaoge found the hospitality very suspicious.
However, she couldn’t figure out what the old lady was playing at just yet.
She kept giving Feng Wu warning glances, telling her to be careful.
Feng Wu patted her hand to calm her down.
The old lady seemed to like Feng Wu. She held her hand and kept asking her questions.
She hadn’t heard the news of Feng Wu beating up the four Gu brothers yet.
“Xiao Wu is in Year 3?” the old lady cried out. “I thought she was eighth in Year 2.”
The old lady had sent people to find information on Feng Wu the day Lady Gu’s hand was cut off, which was why she knew Feng Wu’s ranking.
Seeing that the old lady knew such detailed information, Feng Wu glanced at her and was even more wary.
“She’s in Year 3 now.” Lady Northern Feng waved at Feng Wu to beckon her over. She said, “Xiao Wu is my G.o.ddaughter. Of course, I care about her grades. She got into Year 3 just the other day.”
Mrs. Gu was hostile toward Feng Wu. Lady Northern Feng was obviously defending Feng Wu, but Mrs. Gu still said, “That’s very impressive, rising to Year 3 at such a young age. However, she needs to work on her temper. Arrogance and pride will only affect her cultivation.”
Lady Northern Feng said, “Don’t worry about it. Year 3 isn’t that hard for Xiao Wu at all. She can afford to take a break every now and then.”
Mrs. Gu said, “Lady Northern Feng, that’s not the right way to raise a child. She’s only just entered Year 3, and I’m sure that she’s in the bottom half on the billboard. If she doesn’t work on increasing her rank, it’ll affect her confidence.”
The old lady nodded. “That’s true.”
Lady Northern Feng gave them a strange look. After some hesitation, she asked, “Do you not know?”
