After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

The girl blushed instantly under the gaze of so many people. Embarrassed, she lowered her head and murmured softly, "I... I was just too surprised, that's why I accidentally spoke so loudly."

Because she was so scared, the little girl's eyes gradually reddened. If only she had known, if only she hadn't said anything. The little girl tried her best to hold back her tears. She couldn't cry, she couldn't lose face in front of others!

The girl's mother—Zhou Yangshi, wife of County Magistrate Zhou—stepped forward and bowed to the crowd: "My daughter is naughty, and I apologize to everyone here. I hope you will not spoil the fun!"

Although she said that, she didn't really blame her daughter. Children are naturally fond of excitement, but she still needed to teach her properly at home that she should pay attention to her words and actions when she was out, and that she should behave appropriately.

However, with so many people watching, she still has to show some attitude. After all, she's afraid that some people might misunderstand and ruin her daughter's reputation.

"I think her innocent and carefree demeanor is exactly what someone her age should be like!" The magistrate's wife parted her lips slightly, a smile playing on her lips, her gaze towards the little girl gentle.

Zhou Yangshi understood that the magistrate's wife was only helping her because her husband was the magistrate, but she was still very grateful.

“Yes, yes, Miss Zhou is still young, just a child. It’s natural that she can’t resist seeing something so unusual. We’ve all done that before!” Madam Zhao said with a smile, glancing at the magistrate’s wife as she finished speaking.

The other party nodded slightly, and he felt a surge of joy, not forgetting to glance at Madam Zhang.

Unfortunately, Madam Zhang did not look at her; her gaze was fixed on Lin Hao, who was speaking.

"I don't know what others think, but I am very grateful for Miss Zhou's support!"

"That's quite true. If your arrangement was originally only eight parts surprise, after Miss Zhou's explanation, it's probably going to be ten parts amazing!" Madam Hua teased Lin Hao with a smile.

"Sister's words make sense, but they just don't feel right to me. So, in your heart, all my hard work is only worth eight points! This really breaks my heart. You only care about the new bride!" Lin Hao pretended to clutch her heart like Xi Shi.

This action undoubtedly amused everyone, and Madam Hua felt wronged: "Look, I only said one sentence, and it has provoked her to say so much. It's clear that she is a person who likes to nitpick and find fault with others! Everyone should be careful!"

Everyone just listened to these words; everyone knew the two were on good terms! They were just surprised that this Madam Gu was truly doing great things quietly! First, she befriended the magistrate's wife, and now she's calling Madam Hua her sister—without letting a word of it slip by!

"We won't fall for that. We don't want you sisters to reconcile one day and make us look like scoundrels!" Madam Zhang said with a smile, as if to say, "I'm not going to be fooled."

The topic was gradually shifted, and Zhou Yangshi breathed a sigh of relief. Her gaze towards Lin Hao and the others softened, and she secretly made a mental note of it.

"Alright, don't waste any more time here. I can't wait to see the elaborate designs that Madam Gu has prepared!" With that, Madam Qian took the lead and walked ahead.

"Indeed, we must go and see what kind of arrangement can make even young girls exclaim in surprise!" With Madam Qian taking the lead, the group quickly followed, especially the young girls, who couldn't contain their excitement and walked faster than usual.
