With these thoughts, Lady Chen became quite impatient, eager to go to Capital Jingcheng. She found an excuse to go send vegetables to the second branch, going to the county town.
As soon as Lady Zhu heard this, she immediately knew that Lady Chen was secretly planning to run off to Jingcheng and stopped her straight away, "…Don't think I don't know what you're plotting in your heart! If you dare to sneak off to Jingcheng, I'll break your legs!"
"Mother! I have no such intention; you've misunderstood!" Lady Chen replied, frustration apparent. Damn that noisy old hag, still living and not dead yet!
Lady Zhu huffed angrily, "Don't take me for a fool! Everyone from your branch has already left, leaving us old couple here by ourselves. If you dare leave again, I'll accuse you of being unfilial!"
