Standing in front of Wang Shouzhe was a middle-aged woman dressed with exquisite taste. Her hair was adorned with pearl hairpins, her hands with jade bracelets, and she wore high Cloud-Stepping Boots, all wrapped in a luxurious multicolored cloud-pattern silk dress. She appeared as a noblewoman from the city.
Moreover, she had meticulously groomed herself before coming. Her face was powdered and her lips painted a crimson red, making her seem not a day over twenty-seven or eight years old rather than her actual age of forty. This was a testament to her diligent upkeep and being clearly cherished and indulged by her husband, Wang Shouxin.
Yet, there were red threads in her eyes, indicating she had been crying recently.
Remarkably, she held a large bamboo basket covered with red cloth.
Upon seeing how courteous Wang Shouzhe was, Xu Shi's initial tension and hostility diminished slightly. She respectfully curtsied and greeted, "Xu Shi greets Fourth Uncle."
