"Where did you go just now?"
At Old Su's house, Madam Fang had just come out of her house when she saw Su Jinniang closing the door.
Su Jinniang pointed at the wooden basin in her hand. "Pour water."
"You applied perfume?" Madam Fang smelled her daughter's rouge.
Su Jinniang lowered her eyes and said, "No, my ears are frozen. I applied some snow cream."
Madam Fang nodded and said, "I think I heard you talking to someone just now."
Su Jinniang said, "I bumped into Su Daya and said a few words."
Madam Fang said unhappily, "What did you say to her? She framed you tonight."
Su Jinniang said nothing.
Madam Fang thought to herself, "Is she married? I think this Fat Su is different from before. Her brain has become bright. Look at what she said to Madam Wan tonight. She's not stupid at all… I heard that she even went to town to do business."
