She silently stared at Chu Qingxiang and nodded. It seemed that if she did not nod, she would keep waiting.
Chu Qingxiang opened her mouth, her heart filled with unwillingness. She also wanted her familyâs help, but if she said this to her grandmother⦠In the future, if she had any difficulties, how could she ask her family for help?
However, Madam Liu did not give her a chance to hesitate and continued to look at her.
âGrandma, I wonât regret it.â Chu Qingxiang gritted her teeth and said.
Madam Liu did not know whether to laugh or be sad. She withdrew her gaze from Chu Qingxiangâs face and looked at Madam Zhang. âCome with me.â
Madam Zhang was a little nervous. It had been a long time since she had seen her mother-in-law lose her temper.
âMother, Iâve decided. Just do as I say.â Chu Qingxiang suddenly grabbed her wrist and whispered.
After all, Madam Zhang doted on her daughter more. In addition, she actually had high expectations for Chu Qingxiang. She did not feel that she had done anything wrong. Instead of marrying an ordinary man, she would rather let Qingxiang marry a young scholar like Song Lu.
As for the Song family, with Qingxiangâs intelligence, she would definitely be able to settle it.
Madam Zhang got up and went out of the house into the courtyard. When she raised her head and saw Madam Liu enter the room, she quickly followed her.
âWhatâs with that slap?â Madam Liu asked after she entered the room.
âWell⦠Qingxiang deliberately let the Wang familyâs Third Young Miss hit her.
Song Lu rushed over and broke ties with the Wang familyâs Third Young Miss.â Madam Zhang was a little careful. Seeing her mother-in-lawâs expression was not good, she quickly explained, âMother, Qingxiang was also forced to do so. The Wang familyâs Third Young Miss was the one who was interrupting the marriage. She was wrong. We were also forced to resist.â
âAnd then the Third Young Miss of the Wang family really gave up?â Madam Liu asked coldly.
When Madam Zhang heard this, she instantly raised her head and puffed out her chest.
âSong Lu has already returned the bracelets that the Wang family gave to the Song family. The Wang familyâs Third Young Miss also questioned Song Lu if he was really unwilling to marry her. She took out a hundred taels as a dowry and asked if he was still willing.â At this point, Madam Zhang sighed. That was a hundred taels, and her family only had a few dozen taels of silver, and it was all thanks to Chu Heng.
âOf course, Song Lu didnât agree. He can earn money by writing books now.
Besides, my Qingxiang is also very outstandingâ¦â She spoke in a softer voice. After all, no matter how capable Qingxiang was, she could not be compared to the Wang familyâs Third Young Miss, who had brought a lot of property with her.
âAnd then? How did you confirm that the Third Young Miss of the Wang family had given up?â Madam Liu continued to ask.
âThe Third Young Miss of the Wang Family said it herself,â Madam Zhang replied without thinking.
âSince Song Lu doesnât want to marry her, she wonât marry him either. Theyâll drop this matter.â
âIs the Third Young Miss of the Wang Clan so easy to talk to?â Madam Liu was a little puzzled.
As the daughter of a landlord, how could the Third Young Miss of the Wang family pretend that nothing had happened when outsiders saw such an embarrassing side of her?
Did Madam Zhang and Qingxiang overlook something?
âThatâs exactly what the Third Young Miss of the Wang family said. She left right after she said that. She didnât even bother to talk to us.â Although Madam Zhang felt that it was a little embarrassing to be ignored, she thought about it and thought that she was just a country bumpkin.
Madam Liu was worried. âDonât go out anymore.â
Madam Zhang opened her mouth, âMother, then the Song familyâ¦â
âHa, now you should just hope that Song Lu will keep his word and convince the Song Family to let the marriage go on. As for the betrothal money, donât even think about it since youâre so eager to marry into the Song Family,â Madam Liu said in dissatisfaction..
