Lady Wei was so angered by her words that she laughed.
"My Wan'er… Is she so desperate she can't find a husband? Or have all the men in the world dropped dead, forcing her to go to your family as a concubine? Who gave you the gall? You claim being a concubine isn't demeaning? Then why didn't you become a concubine for the Marquis Xuanping yourself?"
Lady Lin's face turned ashen. "Madam Lu!"
"Furthermore, my Wan'er looks down on your Fu family entirely! Never mind a concubine, she wouldn't even care for the position of the main wife!" Lady Wei finished, pointing a hand toward the door. "Get out of my sight, now! Or I'll grab a broom and beat you with it!"
"You… you… you…" Lady Lin was fuming with rage, unable to speak. She never imagined that the dignified Duchess Dingguo could be so graceless, daring to strike someone like a common market shrew.
