Upon hearing Cai Wei's voice, Lady Du hurried out from the back kitchen, wiping her hands with her apron as she looked over her daughter, asking, "Wei'er, where are the New Year's gifts for the main house?"
Cai Wei paused for a beat, biting the bullet, she said, "There is too much stuff, I cannot carry it all. So I've only chosen the items, after dinner, let Zhang Bo take me with the carriage to get it."
Lady Du said, "I asked Zhang Bo to go shopping with you but you refused, now you know!"
Cai Wei laughed and said: "I know now, not heeding the advice of one's elders will lead to trouble. In the future, I, your daughter, will not dare to disobey your words again."
Although she was smiling, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This side was like an arrow drawn on a bow, a matter of life and death, yet she still had to deal with those hypocritical, selfish, greedy relatives. Life really is full of helplessness!
