Chapter 1647: Contempt

It was inconceivable for her to spread baseless rumors. Instead, she chose to lament everywhere about how her Old Master was overworked and exhausted. She painted a picture of his daily struggles, emphasizing how he was so busy that his feet barely touched the ground upon waking. Often, he didn't even have time to eat, and she couldn't leave him alone. She had to make decisions and follow his instructions. She expressed genuine concern that if this continued, his health might suffer!

Mrs. Guan smiled, saying, "Old Master, don't worry. It's not that I don't understand the seriousness of the situation! I'm just indignant on your behalf. I only gossip at home. If the family forbids me from speaking, I'll feel suffocated."

Deputy Prefect Guan shared her sentiments.

"By the way, you should meet Madam Shao tomorrow or the day after."

Deputy Prefect Guan smirked as he recounted Qiao Xuan's words.
