Old Lady Zhou watched as Madam Zhou dismissed the maid, her demeanor becoming more and more like that of the madam of the house. She saw her sipping tea slowly, sitting upright and dignified, and then said, "You now have quite the bearing of a madam of the house!"
Just that discerning gaze and quick wit already sets you apart from others.
Madam Zhou was slightly stunned: "Mother..."
Old Lady Zhou didn't intend to press on, she merely lowered her eyelids and asked, "You just said Wu Lihong has returned, what are you planning to do?"
Madam Zhou felt a slight stir in her mind, pursed her lips, and said, "That is one reason why I came to visit you today. Wufu is now doing business in Changan and has said he wants to settle there, calling for someone to take me over. I don't know when I will get the chance to come back again, so before setting off, I came to visit you."
Old Lady Zhou was taken aback: "You're going to Changan? You won't come back?"
