2821 Fear
However, at this moment, she realized that it was useless for her to lower her stance. The old madam had seen how angry she was just now.
The old madam wouldn’t argue with a junior. However, Madam Li glared at her and said that she wanted an explanation. Hence, the old madam had to have a good chat with her.
It had been many years since anyone had been so arrogant in front of the old madam. Since Madam Li was so arrogant, why did she come to the Xia family’s old residence?
The old madam glanced at Madam Li, who was standing in front. She happened to see Madam Li looking at her. Her overbearing att.i.tude just now shrunk a little, and a faint smile appeared in the old madam’s eyes.
The old madam, who was wearing a modified Tang suit, raised her eyes slightly and said in a gentle voice, “Since you don’t want to say anything, let me start!”
Madam Li, who was still thinking about it, had a bad feeling when she heard this. She couldn’t help but look up.
Her kind eyes were so sharp that Madam Li’s heart skipped a beat. The dignity she exuded made Madam Li’s fingers tremble secretly.
The person sitting in front of her was the old madam of the Xia family. She was… a legendary heroine who had carried guns, killed enemies, and saved several founding generals.
Madam Li had indeed gone overboard just now.
Just as she was thinking about how to make up for it, the old madam had already said, “My Little Six didn’t say anything wrong. Back then, when I knew that my ex-daughter-in-law had divorced my son, I couldn’t wait to go overseas the next day. I sent someone to investigate what happened.
“I didn’t expect the married daughter of the Li family to be so generous. You were able to matchmake a painter and a married woman with just one party. You were so generous that you vacated your own family just to let a married woman and a painter be together.
“Madam Li, although I’m old, I’m not blind. Moreover, it happened more than 20 years ago when I wasn’t even old yet. I was younger than you are now!
“You said that our Xia family doesn’t educate our youths well, but your words are worthless in my family. If I remember correctly, you’re Old Li’s illegitimate daughter.”
The old madam was the best at exposing people’s secrets.
The older, the wiser. Madam Li felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave after hearing the truth. The refres.h.i.+ng breeze entered her heart and turned into a chill. It was so cold that her heart felt cold.
She wanted to make up for her mistake just now, but who knew that the old madam would stab her with a ‘knife’? She even specially chose the sharpest ‘knife’!
Alright then!
In that case, she shouldn’t be blamed for being rude!
Madam Li, who was most unwilling to talk about her ident.i.ty, clenched her fists tightly and said with a fake smile, “Old Madam, I respect you as an elder. You have to show some mercy and not lose your status as an elder. Otherwise, people will gossip about you.”
Was this a threat?
The old madam, who had never been afraid of threats, said to Xia Jinyuan, who was standing beside her, “Go outside and see if the ambulance is here.”
“I’ll watch over the old madam. Ah Yuan, go outside and wait for the ambulance.” Aunt Fang stood up and understood what the old madam meant. She smiled and said, “Leave this to the old madam. You can go do your own things.”
The old madam had already appeared. How could they let the men at home deal with this? The men of the Xia family were unyielding. How could they care about such trivial matters?
