Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As soon as the three of them entered, a white-haired old woman said in a strange tone, “Hey, isn’t this the second daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Ying?
“I heard that she fell out with her family the moment she returned to the capital.
“No matter what, the Zhou family raised you. You can’t just ignore your family when your wings harden.”
Zhou Ying turned her head to look at her after hearing that. She then ignored her after she noticed who it was.
It was the Empress’s second aunt, the great-aunt of the Lu family.
Previously, because the Lu family had previously helped Prince Hui in his assassination attempt on Prince Rui, they had been grounded for three months. Zhou Ying didn’t expect them to be out so soon.
However, looking at the murderous aura on her body, she must have killed many people.
Seeing that she was ignoring her, Madam Lu immediately demanded angrily, “What, you don’t even know how to respect the old and love the young?” “Are you worthy of that?” Zhou Ying said with a cold glance.
“You…”

“What’s? I’m already respecting you by ignoring you.
“Don’t forget why you were grounded by the Emperor. Do you need me to help you spread the news?”
Madam Lu was so angry that she trembled and pointed at her but could not say a word.
Mingyu looked at the two of them and quickly said, “Let’s go somewhere else.”
After saying that, she pulled them to the other side halls.
“Tell me, do you still respect your elders? You’re simply too condescending!” Madam Lu pointed at their backs and shouted.
However, everyone just casually responded with a few grunts to give the Empress face before ignoring her.
After all, even the Zhou family did not care about Zhou Ying’s situation. What grounds do they have to stick their hands into this?
Besides, they wanted to buy more vegetables from the Gu family. If they offended Zhou Ying, where else would they get their vegetables?
Seeing this, Madam Lu was embarrassed and immediately stood up to leave.
The moment she left, everyone started gossiping. Some said she used to bully others, while others began digging into her past and describing how she had stepped over corpses to rise from a concubine to her husband’s official wife.
Madam Lu, who was listening outside the halls, was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She quickly went to look for the Empress and her sister-in-law.
On the other end, after Zhou Ying and the others left, they did not go to the other side halls. Instead, they went outside to look at the lanterns.
Although the sky was not dark, the colorful lanterns were still attractive.
“Wow, that little white rabbit is so beautiful!” Mingyu pointed at a lantern hanging on a plum blossom tree.
“Yeah, it’s very cute. It looks like she’s stealing food.” Gu Wanning echoed.
Zhou Ying stepped forward and took a good look, admiring these crafts, especially the picture painted on them. With just a few simple strokes, these craftsmen had drawn a cute little rabbit on a delicate lantern.
She asked, “Will there be more lanterns on the street outside tonight?”
“I’m not too sure about that. Because of the disaster, there hasn’t been a lantern festival for two years. Oh, right, I heard that Qingshui Town in Yunhe County had a fireworks festival. Is that true?” Mingyu asked.
“Yeah, I saw it once on the second day after I went back. It was very beautiful, but there was a sea of people at the festival. It was a pity that the fireworks were short-lived, unlike a lantern that could leave something behind.” Zhou Ying then gave them a detailed description of the festival.
“Wow, it sounds beautiful and shocking.
“I’ll go and take a look when the year is better,” Mingyu said excitedly.
“You’re making me want to go too.” Gu Wanning echoed.
“If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll treat you guys to a big meal and watch fireworks.”
“Yo, what are you girls talking about so happily?” At this moment, a curious voice came from not far away..
