No one had expected Yang the Widower to lash out without warning.
When Tian Yuezhi was kicked off the bed, everyone got a clear view of the bruises covering her body.
It seemed the two of them had fought quite a fierce battle last night!
Granny Wang was so furious she nearly fainted. She said,
"Both of you get dressed first. Whatever you have to say can wait."
After saying that, Granny Wang shut the door without giving anyone a chance to speak.
Silly Girl had no idea what had happened.
Hadn't her stepmother said that sleeping together was a good thing? Then why had Young Master Yang kicked her stepmother off the bed?
Seeing how angry her grandmother was, Silly Girl didn't dare ask!
Before long, the door opened, and Tian Yuezhi and Yang the Widower came out fully dressed.
Yang the Widower's face was full of anger as he said,
"This isn't over!
The one I wanted to marry was Silly Girl. Your Wang Family swapped the beams and pillars, palming off this old, ugly woman on me instead.
Did you even stop to consider whether she was worth fifty taels of silver?
I don't want this old woman."
No one had expected Yang the Widower to be the first to make a scene.
After hearing his words, everyone looked at Tian Yuezhi differently and began to gossip.
"Tian Yuezhi really has a black heart. No wonder she sold Silly Girl to an old widower!"
"Exactly. That's fifty taels of silver! Even if we went without food or drink, we couldn't save that much in years."
"Money really does sway the heart. How shameless!"
"A stepmother through and through! Isn't she afraid Silly Girl's birth mother will come looking for her in the middle of the night?"
"Pah!
