CHAPTER 146: CHAPTER 146: AFRAID OF THE WIFE?

"What do you mean ’he’? If he dares to upset me, he’ll be kneeling on a washboard too!" Ran Xiangsi snatched Lou Xinyu’s words and said domineeringly.

Anyway, Xing Chen wasn’t here, and whatever she said, Xing Chen wouldn’t know!

As soon as Ran Xiangsi spoke, the surrounding servants and the housekeeper paused, looking at Ran Xiangsi with some surprise.

So their young master and young madam usually interacted like this?

Even though the young master was such a strong-willed person, he actually... feared his wife?

Even Lou Xinyu was dumbfounded. The William brother she held in such high regard, how could he possibly kneel on a washboard for this brat?

No way!

"You’re talking nonsense! Brother William isn’t that kind of person!" Lou Xinyu started to get angry, proving beauty doesn’t last more than three seconds.

Seeing how easily Lou Xinyu got angry, Ran Xiangsi knew she was a brainless fool, so she added another sentence, sarcastically without any politeness, "Kneeling on a washboard is just the beginning. There’s also the keyboard, instant noodles, and other items. He’s kneeled on all of them. Oh, and when kneeling on instant noodles, not a single crumb should fall off, okay!"

"You... you..." Lou Xinyu’s face turned grim, unable to say a single word...

Just at that moment, an elderly grandmother, who must have been in her seventies or eighties, suddenly came walking over from the corner of the gate.

She was using a cane, hunched over, with a large pair of reading glasses on her nose, and her clothes were quite tattered.

No one initially noticed her, until she slowly walked up and stopped in front of the iron gate, reaching out shakily towards Lou Xinyu, who was dressed beautifully and elegantly, "Young lady, I... I’m here to visit relatives and got lost, could you help me?"

Her voice was also quite hoarse, sounding not as if it were that of an elderly grandmother.

Lou Xinyu’s only thoughts were about finding her beloved Brother William. How could she care about this ragged old woman?

She immediately moved away, speaking with contempt, "Where did this crazy old hag come from? Stay away from me!"

As Lou Xinyu backed away, the elderly grandmother swayed and fell to the ground, "Ouch!"

At the sound, Housekeeper Wu shivered with disbelief, staring at the elderly grandmother...

Initially, he hadn’t noticed, but after checking twice and listening to the voice, why did she seem so familiar?

Wasn’t this the young master’s mother?

Why was she disguised as an old grandmother? Could it be... she wanted to test the young madam?

"Ma..." Housekeeper Wu couldn’t hold back, almost addressed her as the older madam, but was scared back by a look from the fallen elderly grandmother.

Ran Xiangsi didn’t notice Housekeeper Wu’s small movements, and she certainly wouldn’t know that this odd old grandmother was actually Xing Chen’s biological mother in disguise...

She only saw the elderly grandmother had fallen and felt a bit sympathetic.

Instinctively, she asked, "Grandma, are you okay?"

"Oh dear, it hurts so much... Young lady, can you help me up to sit for a while? At my age, my legs and feet aren’t handy, and I haven’t found my relatives. What am I going to do!"

"Okay." Ran Xiangsi nodded, then said to the housekeeper, "Open the gate."

Housekeeper Wu nodded and gave orders to the servants behind him, then the tightly closed iron gate was opened.

Ran Xiangsi hurried out, forgetting Lou Xinyu was still at the gate. Seizing the opportunity, she slipped inside.
