Chapter 383: Fear of Ghost Coming to the Door

The maids put down the chair Mrs. Chen was sitting on. Holding her walking stick in her hand, Mrs. Chen thumped it on the ground, her voice booming with authority, "You unfilial brat! Since your return to your ancestral home, you have never once bowed before me. Whenever you return to your maternal home, you never visit me in the Wanshou Hall. I hear that you came specially to celebrate my birthday today. Why didn't you go to the Wanshou Hall but came here instead?" Her voice rang out like a church bell.

Chen Afu replied, "Granny Chen, even if you hadn't come here, I would have gone to Wanshou Hall to see you. One was to bring you presents to celebrate your birthday, the other was to relay a message for someone." While saying that, he asked the maids to bring the gifts before her, he added, "These liquors were purchased in the Capital City, the brocade is a tribute from Princess Huachang. I didn't dare to use it, so I brought it to you."
