After her shock and rage passed, she sobbed into her hands: "How could I have known that the Gu Family would be associated with such noble figures? You and mother clearly told me that I am a proper lady destined to marry into a noble family... Mrs. Chen, a countryside peasant, hinted at a marriage proposal for me; how could I not be upset? That's the reason I said some unpleasant things... I've been punished by grandfather, isn't that enough? What more do you want from me? Wuuu~"
Young Master Xu was left speechless with the Zeng Family, as Xu Ling's words hit home. They had indeed said those things to her, though it was a mere dream, for noble families paid them no mind.
To noble families, the Xu Family was nothing but newly rich peasants, possessing only a modest sum of money. Bringing her into their homes as a wife was impossible, at most she could become a concubine.
The Zeng couple reaped what they sowed and nearly ruined Xu Ling by teaching her poorly.
