Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Madam Liu was chatting with the older relatives. It was still early, and the bridal procession had not arrived yet. Thus, she had time to chat.
Chu Ming hesitated for a while before Madam Liu looked over.
âCome here.â Madam Liu saw the anxiety on his face and frowned slightly.
When Chu Ming heard this, he finally had a chance to get close to his grandmother. He quickly ran over and whispered in her ear about Chu Yunâs situation.
Madam Liuâs face immediately darkened.
âThis child is asking me about the steps when picking up the bride. You only need to follow your elder brother.â Madam Liu found a random excuse and left the central room.
Just as she reached the door of Chu Qingxiangâs room, he heard Chu Yun cursing.
âIn my opinion, Madam Ye is a lazy old woman. Sheâs as stupid as a pig. What scholarâs wife? Thatâs all because of my third brother. Itâs also because my third brother isnât at home. Otherwise, you can see how he would deal with Madam
â Today is Qingxiangâs wedding. She just casually sent a servant and didnât come herself. Why is she pretending to be superior? Sheâs looking down on Qingxiang and us!â
âThe more I think about it, the angrier I get. How can Mother spoil her? Even if theyâre not living together, sheâs still the daughter-in-law of the Chu family. If we donât control her, sheâs going to go overboard!â Chu Liushi pushed open the door with a bang.
The women in the room looked embarrassed.
Zhang Ru was very excited. She did not know the inside story yet.
The sound at the door attracted the attention of the women in the room. When they saw Madam Liu, their hearts skipped a beat.
Only Chu Yun was still cursing. When she saw Madam Liu, her face was full of smiles. She quickly stood up and walked toward her. âMother, youâre here. I wanted to talk to you, but there were too many people today, so I didnât have time.â
âBy the way, let me tell you, Madam Ye actually didnât come today!â Chu Yun quickly complained.
âOh, I didnât ask her to come.â Madam Liuâs face was expressionless.
âMother, why?â Chu Yun frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
Madam Liu said lightly, âShe was injured a few days ago and is resting at home. Your Third Sister-in-law has also asked a servant to help with Qingxiangâs wedding. She has already sent a gift and discussed it with Qingxiang in advance. If thereâs anything you donât understand, you can ask me. There are so many guests here today. You shouldnât be so willful and throw a tantrum.â
âMotherâ¦â Chu Yun was shocked. She did not expect it to be her motherâs idea. She was a little unwilling.
However, Madam Liu no longer spoke to her. She kindly reminded the people in the room before leaving.
The moment Madam Liu left, everyone in the room heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Madam Zheng quickly changed the topic. âAh
Yun, what did you give Qingxiang today?â
âItâs just a fragrant sachet. Itâs not worth much, â Chu Yun said awkvvardly.
Zhang Ru took it and touched it. It felt heavy. She immediately misunderstood and flattered, âSister Yun, you are too humble. There is something inside. It is not an ordinary sachet.â
When the others heard this, they followed suit.
Even Chu Qingxiang was a little surprised. She touched it and vaguely felt that it was a piece of silver. Her face looked better and she felt relieved. âThank you, Eldest Aunt.â
Chu Yunâs eyes evaded his gaze. She felt a little guilty. âThereâs no need to thank me. Itâs my duty.â
The others followed suit and flattered her. When they saw Chu Yun give Qingxiang the silver, they instantly felt that her family had struck gold.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although Chu Yun was flattered, she felt guilty and quickly changed the topic.
Chu Yun chatted for a while before finding an opportunity to leave the house.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, especially when her mother began to protect Ye Muyu. She felt uncomfortable no matter what. She wondered what kind of bad idea Ye Muyu had in mind to deceive her motherâs family..
