After seeing Old Lady Mo out the front gate, Xuexue turned around to go back inside. With a swing, she closed the main gate behind her.
"Bang!"
Just as Old Lady Mo thought Xuexue was returning inside to fetch some silver for her, she heard a loud bang behind her.
She turned around to see that the gate of the Xie Residence had already been closed, and she could hear Xuexue shouting from inside, "Grandmother, you should hurry back home. Our family doesn't have that much silver to support your grandson; it's better if his father earns the money to support his own son."
Old Lady Mo was immediately livid with rage. Just now, she had found it strange how compliant that damn girl seemed, and now she realized all the charade was just to lure her out and lock the gate behind her.
