Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 579 Such a pity.

Ji Shan was so angry that she nearly swayed because of the sudden wave of anger that washed over her, what was this? Was this old man looking down at her, is that it? She has been sitting here until her knees started to hurt, even now she couldn’t feel her legs, every inch of her legs was twitching with biting pain and yet this old man called for this woman the second she walked inside, who was he looking down at huh? She was so angry that her face turned green but because her uncles and grandma were standing there, she couldn’t even say anything in the end she could only turn around and glare at the woman who has snatched this opportunity.

But just as she turned around to glare at the woman who was standing behind her, four gazes were levelled at her. Stunned, she raised her head to look at the four men who were standing beside the woman in a protective stance, clearly warning her not to push her limits. She was startled, that tall man she could understand but why were the rest of them looking at her like this? Then her gaze raked over their hands that were protectively curled around the woman and that was when it hit her, her lips curled up in disdain. ‘ Aha! So this woman was a shared wife, what a disgrace!’ 

She turned to look at the bead curtain in front of her and her disdain increased even further, she was pretty sure this old master was a fake as well. He might have seen that the woman was a shared wife and that was he called her —— he must have wanted to take liberties with her, humph, if that was the case no wonder, he didn’t call her. She was much more respectful and careful about with herself. 

” Grandma, let’s go,” said Ji Shan as she held her hand out and stretched it in front of Old madam Shen, she was no longer as upset as she was before, in fact now she was even more haughty than before —— a dirty old man and a wh*re of a woman what a perfect match!  Her gaze turned even more triumphant as she picked up the old woman who looked so confused with what she was doing but Ji Shan simply shook her head and said, ” this is not a place for people like us.” Only dirty people like that woman will come here!

The monk was someone who has seen all kinds of people and of course, he understood the underlying meaning of what Ji Shan was doing, his smile stiffened as he dropped his cordial smile and said, ” That’s true benefactor, our small temple is too small to accommodate someone like you, please come this way.” 

Ji Shan who was talking bad about the temple in the undertone was shocked when the monk replied to her like this, she was so angry that her face turned red. However, she said nothing and simply followed after the monk, these people, they were just bullying her because she was simply naive when compared to everyone here! She stomped her feet as she strode out and wasn’t even surprised when she was almost thrown out of the temple. 

Old madam Shen was also shocked at what just happened, she came here to get the blessing of the old master, why was it that she was kicked out of the temple like this? She turned to look at Ji Shan and couldn’t help but get a bit unhappy. ” Shan Shan just what is the matter with you? Why did you have to say such offending words to the old master? What were you even thinking?”

Ji Shan felt wronged, it wasn’t her fault that the temple was full of corrupt people like the monk and the old master, or was it? She wasn’t the one in the wrong so why was she getting scolded for no reason? She wanted to snap back at the old madam but she held herself back, she couldn’t offend the old madam, she was the only one in the Shen mansion who was supporting her. 

She just blinked her eyes and sniffed as she croakily said, ” Grandma, I know I was wrong. It’s just that I am a bit upset, we were kneeling in front of the old master for so long but he didn’t even take any consideration towards us, even if he wanted to make me kneel, it was alright but he could clearly see that you were kneeling together with me but he still remained silent and didn’t say a word, how can I not be upset? But what crossed the line was when that woman and her husbands came inside, they didn’t even kneel much less greeted the old master but he simply asked the woman to come closer and see him. Isn’t it a blatant disregard of you and me?”

Sniffing, she wiped a tear that she has summoned after acting for so long as she plopped on the ground and kowtowed in front of Old madam Shen and cried, ” But if grandma thinks that I was wrong then you can punish me if you want, I just… I just couldn’t take the disrespect that this temple has soon to you.”

Old madam Shen was indeed angry, this was a one time opportunity but it was given away by Ji Shan just like that, she knew that the older a person was the more childish they became, the old master might have not liked Ji Shan and maybe there were some flaws that he could see in her that she couldn’t see, that’s why he made them kneel and it wasn’t that he asked them to kneel did he? They kneeled on their own accord, so how could it be blamed on the old master? No wonder, the old master didn’t meet them at once, he must have been trying to test Ji Shan, it was such a pity —— that this girl failed in it.
