Chapter 194: Suppression

This was a two-pronged approach, where Fujin both elevated Ye Zao and suppressed Lady Li.

Who didn't know that although Lady Li's family had a father serving as Magistrate, how did he achieve that position?

There wasn't a single person of merit in her family, and although there were four or five scholars, none had achieved any significant title.

Moreover, Lady Li's family was originally very poor. Now looking down upon Lady Ye with such contempt was a bit... pretentious.

Fourth Master had remained silent the entire time, uninterested in the scheming and rivalry among the women.

However, Lady Li's words today were a bit careless, which naturally displeased Fourth Master a bit.

Fourth Master did notice Ye Zao's hand, the delicate white hand clearly stained with green juice, and even had dirt between her fingers.

Seeing Fourth Master look at her hand, she straightforwardly showed it: "I wouldn't want Master to hurt his eyes, I can't wash it here."
