"Second Auntie!" Sang Wan's face grew stern as she spoke coldly, "You better not mention that cousin's name, nor act so familiar with her! You don't understand the affairs of this residence, so don't meddle! I'll tell you only this: keep your distance from that cousin! If by chance you see her again, stay far away from me; do you hear me clearly?"
She became incensed just mentioning today's incident—Mrs. Li's mind, she really didn't know if it was filled with chaff or sawdust. She, not being a noble lady nor a revered and insightful person, dressed in a countrywoman's garb, was ordinary wherever she went. If Gu Fangzi didn't have an ulterior motive, would she have been so amiable the first time they met?
"But, but why? I think she's quite a nice person, speaks kindly and is courteous to others." Mrs. Li was utterly baffled, unwilling to believe Sang Wan's words.
