Chapter 187: Cold Demeanor, Cold Heart
Old Lady Zhou also learned about the gossip concerning Wufu, and immediately her hands began to tremble with anger, the severity on her normally expressionless face deepening further.
It's not that she believed the idle talk outside; what she had not anticipated was that people could say such ugly things.
Even if she did not like Madam Zhou and her daughter, she knew such gossip was groundless. How could it possibly be...
"Who is spouting such filth and talking nonsense? Who is so lacking in decency, with such a foul mouth?" Old Lady Zhou hit the kàng and cursed furiously.
Old Lady Zhou was so angry not because she wanted to defend Madam Zhou and her daughter, but because such talk would also implicate her and the Old Zhou family. After all, no matter how unbearable Madam Zhou and her daughter were, they carried the Zhou name, they were daughters of the Zhou family.
