Chapter 940: Chapter 939: Accident
Wufu is not someone who gossips, especially when she is trying to extricate herself and leave. She wouldn’t meddle in others’ affairs to avoid causing trouble for herself.
So, even when she heard such sounds of argument, she didn’t plan to stop and continued walking forward.
But after only taking two steps, she stopped because she heard a familiar voice and name, a name somewhat related to her, Wu Yining.
And what Wu Yining said made her frown and forced her to stop.
“Wen Yanfang, you’re talking nonsense, you’re full of crap.” Wu Yining’s voice was sharp, yelling: “What concubine, what illegitimate daughter, you’re talking nonsense.”
Wufu furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and walked over to stand under a tree, only to see Wu Yining with a maid confronting a young girl of similar age to her, with a tense atmosphere.
The young girl, referred to as Wen Yanfang by Wu Yining, let out a cold laugh: “Indeed a nouveau riche, truly vulgar. I’m talking nonsense? If I hadn’t heard this news, would I speak recklessly? There’s no smoke without fire.”
“You, you are just talking nonsense. You don’t like me and you’re spouting nonsense, you have no evidence.” Wu Yining stamped her foot and said.
Wen Yanfang snorted: “Your father went to the Shu region on business, didn’t he? Remember, my fourth brother is the county magistrate in Huayang.”
Wu Yining’s face turned slightly pale: “Did your fourth brother say that?”
“It doesn’t matter who said it, anyway it’s true that your father has a woman and a bastard child over there. Haha, I heard they’re older than you; wasn’t it before your mother got married? Haha, congratulations, you have an elder sister now!” Wen Yanfang laughed mockingly.
“You, you arrogant brat, I’ll tear your filthy mouth apart.” Wu Yining lunged at the girl’s face with both hands.
Wufu watched coldly, her hands clenched into fists.
How could this be, how did the news from Huayang travel here? Huayang County Magistrate, Wen Yanfang, fourth brother, this all links back to Wen Congrui.
Did he say it? Is Wen Lao Si really such a gossip?
Damn it!
Wufu glanced coldly at the girls who had become entangled in a scuffle and turned to leave, thinking, go ahead and fight, you trouble-stirring little brats.
“Someone, hey, you, come over here and pull them apart!” a maid shouted, rushing towards Wufu when she spotted her.
“…” Wufu looked speechlessly at the hand on her sleeve, thinking, why are you pulling me instead of breaking up the fight?
But when she turned around, she looked at the maid with a face full of panic: “W-what’s the matter?”
“Hurry, go and stop them, I’ll call for help.” the maid said.
Wufu replied, “How about I go instead? I’m more familiar with the way.”
“What do you know? Hurry up!” the maid pushed her.
Wufu cursed in her heart, had no choice but to go over and separate the girls who were already locked in a fierce fight. Well, at least she could hear what the news was all about.
“You nouveau riche, vulgar woman, how dare you hit me, ah ah ah.” Wen Yanfang screamed as she saw her hand had been scratched until it bled.
“I’m hitting you precisely because you’re talking nonsense.” Wu Yining made a gesture as if to rush at her again.
Wufu stood to the side, thinking, do these two have brains filled with weeds? With so many society women at the banquet, what reputation would there be after news of a fight spreads?
She rolled her eyes heavenward, listening to the two hurl insults back and forth, let out a soft sigh, and thought to herself, what happened to the reputation that these girls were supposed to care about?
