Noon, Zhulan stood at the doorway and watched Wang Ru's last commotion before leaving. Wang Laosi and his wife, holding their child, blocked Scholar Sun's carriage, refusing to let it depart for Pingzhou, while Wang Ru did not even get down from the carriage.
In the end, the grim-faced Clan Leader Zhou had to pull the Wang family away. Clan Leader Zhou had been counting the days for this scourge to leave; how could he allow Wang Laosi to cause a scene? He feared any complication would prevent their departure.
Eventually, Wang Laosi could only watch helplessly as the carriage rolled away. Mrs. Sun covered her face, wailing until the carriage disappeared. Only then did the couple break free from those holding them back and walked home with their child.
Lady Li had always looked down on Mrs. Sun and sneered, "The money tree is gone now; Mrs. Sun's wailing is a bit late."
