Lian Shouyi has always been this way. No matter how much Lady Zhou scolded, he would just smile. Whatever Lady Zhou said, he wouldn't take it to heart, which really frustrated Lady Zhou.
As Lady Zhou's foot crossed the threshold, she suddenly turned back and caught sight of Lady He coming in along the wall from outside.
The root of the trouble was He Laoliu; it was Lady He! Lady Zhou's temper flared again.
"Where have you been cackling off to again, leaving as soon as you're full? Do you think this is some sort of inn?" Lady Zhou, with one foot inside and one foot outside, pointed at Lady He and scolded, "Just look at you, sneaking around like that. Do you think you're a hen about to lay an egg?"
Speaking of laying eggs, Lady Zhou remembered another issue, which made her see Lady He in an even less favorable light.
"Last fall, weren't you the one fussing about being pregnant? How come you're clinging to that egg, so reluctant to lay it?"
