Chapter 218 Tea Party (2)

The pavilion was open-air, and those inside saw Hua Zhi and Zheng shi approaching from a distance.

There were quite a few people seated. The hostess, Old Madam Wu, was there with her two granddaughters. Old Madam Yang had also come with her own granddaughter. The wives from the Feng, Liang, and Cheng families had come, either with their daughters or their nieces.

Today's topic was Huazhi, so naturally, the discussion revolved around her.

The target of today's gathering was clearly Hua Zhi, and naturally, the conversation would revolve around her.

Old Madam Yang, thinking of her eldest son's grievance, wanted nothing more than to tear Hua Zhi apart. Naturally, she would not give her a good face. "I thought she had three heads and six arms, but she's just like that."

The Feng and Hua families had always been at odds. Wang shi, the Feng family's wife, covered her mouth and laughed, "You say that, but three heads and six arms are for gods. How can she compare?"

These words pleased Old Madam Yang. She scoffed, "That's true. She's just an unmarried girl. If she didn't have such a good appearance, where would she get such a big reputation? It's just that the Hua family is well-off. If it were any other family, they wouldn't be able to stand her being so troublesome."

"That's right. Speaking of this, I'm so angry. My son actually told me he wanted to marry the eldest Miss Hua. It made me so angry." The Liang family and the Wu family were in-laws and had always had a close relationship. If it weren't for the fact that the old lady happened to be unwell, it wouldn't have been her eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao shi, who had come today.

At first, she had no ill feelings towards Hua Zhi and even thought she was quite pitiful. But when she heard her son's thoughts, coupled with someone whispering in her ear, she really believed that the Hua family was planning to help the family by marrying off their daughter.

Otherwise, why would Hua Zhi have caused such a big scandal?

Wasn't she just trying to raise her value so that she could get a higher price?

Once she had a preconceived notion, naturally, she thought the worse of her. When she heard that Hua Zhi had even expelled her eldest aunt from the Hua family after Hua Jing's death, she felt even more that she was cold and ruthless. The Liang family couldn't afford to provoke such a person.

When Hua Zhi entered the pavilion, all eyes fell on her. However, they had to admit that Hua Zhi did indeed have a good appearance, especially since her mourning attire added to her charm.

However, her attire immediately offended Old Madam Wu. Although she was in mourning and should wear plain clothes, who would wear a full set of mourning clothes to someone else's house?

Plain clothes didn't have to be only white!

She endured it for a while but couldn't hold it in anymore, "Miss, your attire is really eye-catching."

Hua Zhi pretended not to understand and bowed to everyone, "I am in deep mourning, please forgive me, Old Madam."

Forgive her!

Of course, she had to forgive her!

She had invited the person herself, so what could she do if she didn't forgive her?

Old Madam Wu felt a lump in her throat and lowered her eyes to drink tea without looking at her again, as if she had forgotten her manners.

Hua Zhi would not wrong herself. Seeing that no one invited her, she sat down herself and then took the initiative to start a topic, "Mrs. Wu said it was a tea party, I wonder what you want to talk about. Don't laugh at me, everyone, I rarely go out and don't understand these things."
