Lady Yan seemed to be admonishing her son on the surface, but in fact, she was threatening Juhua. Her implication was that if Juhua refused to address Lady Yan as Second Lady, Lady Yan would report her behavior to County Magistrate Shen in the evening, and County Magistrate Shen would undoubtedly punish her.
However, although Juhua was not very courageous, this time she was not intimidated by Yan and remained unmoved.
"Hmph, let her be defiant. In the evening, father will definitely give her a good thrashing!"
The fat boy spat angrily before getting into the carriage with Lady Yan.
After this incident, Shen Juhua's good mood was instantly shattered. She stood listlessly by Cai Wei's side, not uttering a word. After the horse carriage was hitched, Juhua and Cai Wei got into the carriage, which was as simple as one driven by a country bumpkin, and her mood dropped further.
