Chapter 198: Hongyu Meddles with the Plot

Old Lady Zhou and Zhou Xuennian were both concerned about their reputation and did not wish to be associated with Wufu and her family, but that didn't stop those with varied ideas. For instance, Lady Liang believed Wufu was capable and was eager to befriend her.

Then there was Madam Lu and her lot, who were bent on taking advantage of whatever they could. They had planned to go over to Wufu's home and curry favor, but before they could act, Old Lady Zhou put a stop to it. She did so with such force that it seemed if they dared to go, she would kick them out of the Zhou family. As a result, they didn't dare to go against her wishes, and this granted Wufu and her family a few days of peace.

But now, it was said that their family's money was earned honestly, so what was there to fear?

Madam Lu and her group had their own ulterior motives. Zhou Dajun was of age, and when it came to marriage, a generous betrothal gift would be no issue at all if it meant securing a good match.
