Chapter 73: To Marry (II)
The dowry mama knelt on the side. Seeing Qingfu Junzhu’s emotion slowly calmed down, she asked: “Madam, what is it that makes you so angry?”
“An outside tailor sent a few brocades today, and I took a fancy at the fabric with a golden phoenix on the peony branch motif. No matter what, in status, I should be the first one to choose the fabric. As a result, before I could speak, she hurriedly asked for the phoenix on the peony branch brocade. I couldn’t bear it and said a few words to her. Yet, she dared to talk back and rebut me!”
Recalling the scene, Qingfu was furious again. When the dowry mama saw this, she quickly brought a cup of tea to Qingfu and said: “Madam, please don’t be angry. That kind of person is not worth being angry of.”
Qingfu Junzhu took the cup, then lowered her head to sip the tea, suppressing the anger in her heart. After putting down the teacup, she raised her eyes again and said with a sneer: “When I was still in my natal family, how many good things have I seen? Even after getting married, I own a special fabric workshop under my name. Why should I care about a few brocades? They are nothing but small sesame seeds in my eyes. Yet she rushed to snatch it from my hand. Doesn’t she know shame? In the end, it is just because her son-in-law is gaining power, and she cannot wait to be rampant.”
