“Certainly, Grandmaster!” replied Cheng Biyuan as he tried to imitate the grandmaster’s polite bow . “If you say so, let’s all go take a tour!”
Naturally nobody there would give up on that opportunity . One by one they go up and got ready to go look at the secret item of the Cheng’s .
Following the lead of Cheng Biyuan, the large group of attendees marched toward the mystical well guarded by guards .
Inside the main quarter of the Cheng’s .

Mrs . Cheng sat on the chair, her look a little distressed and helpless as though she was bothered by something .
Sitting next to her was Mrs . Zhou . Seeing her like that, she couldn’t help but to say, “Yiqin, she wasn’t worth meeting up with again . If you meet her again now, it’d just be very unpleasant for everybody involved . It’s better to just not see her!”
Mrs . Zhou had always know about all the happenings between the Cheng’s and the Gu’s . To be fair, the Gu’s never wronged the Cheng’s . It was just that the Gu’s was so quick to end their ties with the Cheng’s . They never tried to help even in the smallest ways when the Cheng’s hit rock bottom . Now that the Cheng’s were well off, they came right away . No matter what the reason was, it was unpleasant .
Sure the Gu’s didn’t beat the dog when it was down, but there was certainly no need to kiss up now either .
And, truth be told, that Mrs . Gu wasn’t exactly a nice person either . Back then, the betrothal was more like a joke but that was enough for Mrs . Gu to give Mrs . Cheng a hard time .

Now that they were here, it certainly wouldn’t be for any good reasons . Mrs . Zhou was of the opinion that there was no need for Mrs . Cheng to meet up with her . With her new status as the Countess, she could turn down meetings with just about anyone .
“I understand, but last time when her son was here, our Xiao Xiao… . ”
“Yuqin, didn’t you say that you will leave Xiao Xiao’s matters up to her? When why do you torture yourself so? I trust that Xiao Xiao would take care of matters this time . Do you really think it’s a good idea to meet up with Mrs . Gu at this time?”
“Sister Zhou, I know the timing wasn’t ideal, but they are visiting us . And everyone who enters our doors are our guests; let alone they were old friends . I am just worry that it’d hurt Xiao Xiao’s reputation . ”

Mrs . Zhou couldn’t disagree more with Mrs . Cheng, “I said, Yuqin, aren’t you a bit too idealistic? If Xiao Xiao decided to call off this betrothal, of course her reputation will be affected . Your meeting up with Mrs . Gu is not going to change anything . Perhaps she wanted to meet exactly because of what happened to her son last time . Your meeting with her would be like inviting her to come scold you!”
“You just might be right, sister Zhou . Sister Gu has such a mouth on her . She knew how to stick it where it hurts the most!” Mrs . Cheng smiled bitterly; apparently having been on the receiving end before .
“If you knew that, all the more there is no reason to meet up with her . If she was to make a scene here, that’d truly be embarrassing . If you don’t meet up with her, she won’t force her way here or would she make a scene!”
“Okay, I’ll pretend I didn’t know about it and let Xiao Xiao handle it . Speaking of, this kid has been gone since this morning and I have no idea where she went to!”
Thinking of her oldest daughter, Mrs . Cheng couldn’t help but to grumble all over again .
Mrs . Zhou had a big smile and said in an effort to comfort her, “Don’t worry, accidents might happen to any one, but not Xiao Xiao . ”
The two sisters continued to chitchat at the main house; Nan Qingqing, Mrs . Gu, couldn’t believe that she had waited for almost an hour outside and have yet to see any signs of Luo Yuqin . Her face got darker as time passed .
Having well-prepared for Luo Yuqin for a piece of her mind was not driving her insane with anger . She was barely holding on to her last sense that making a scene there would be a very bad idea .
