Lady Zhao, called out by name, met the iron-blue faces of the Xu mother and daughter with an awkward smile, sandwiched in the middle and daring not to speak too much.
"Lady Lin, with a mere touch of your lips, you've slanderously maligned our Xu family's precious daughter, isn't that a bit too excessive?"
Lady Xu's face turned slightly livid as she glared at Lady Lin and angrily said, "Furthermore, the upbringing of our Xu family's children is none of the business of an outsider. Lady Lin, if you have idle time, perhaps you should spend it reining in your son instead of letting him pester my Manqing time and again."
With the final phrase 'stop pestering,' Lady Xu intentionally stressed, emphasizing her point.
Lady Lin was so angry internally she almost spat blood. Seeing Xu Manqing standing by with a proud expression, not stopping her mother from speaking insolently, it was clear she agreed with Lady Xu's words.
