This reminded Old Granny Zhang, who came to her senses and lightly patted her face: "I'm getting muddle-headed! It's good you reminded me, my girl!"
Feeling a lingering fear, she was glad that her little scheme had only been revealed in front of the Lady of the Gu Family.
Given the Lady of the Gu Family's character, she naturally wouldn't let it slip.
Otherwise, if Laosan, the stubborn ox, were to find out, he might really call off the engagement.
Wouldn't she become a sinner then?
After chanting several Buddhist verses, Old Granny Zhang calmed down.
"You're right, my girl. Your third uncle has been wandering around for years and has seen much more of the world than a country woman like me. He must have his reasons for taking a liking to Miss Zhuo from the Zhuo Family. If I meddle too much, it wouldn't be good!"
She laughed again: "I always said I wouldn't become that villainous aunt, but inadvertently, I almost became the much-maligned aunt in the stories!"
