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.
“Come here.” 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 Yun’s situation.
Madam Liu’s face immediately darkened.
“This child is asking me about the steps when picking up the bride. You only need to follow your elder brother.” Madam Liu found a random excuse and left the central room.
Just as she reached the door of Chu Qingxiang’s room, he heard Chu Yun cursing.
“In my opinion, Madam Ye is a lazy old woman. She’s as stupid as a pig. What scholar’s wife? That’s all because of my third brother. It’s also because my third brother isn’t at home. Otherwise, you can see how he would deal with Madam
” Today is Qingxiang’s wedding. She just casually sent a servant and didn’t come herself. Why is she pretending to be superior? She’s looking down on Qingxiang and us!”
“The more I think about it, the angrier I get. How can Mother spoil her? Even if they’re not living together, she’s still the daughter-in-law of the Chu family. If we don’t control her, she’s going to go overboard!” 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. “Mother, you’re here. I wanted to talk to you, but there were too many people today, so I didn’t have time.”
“By the way, let me tell you, Madam Ye actually didn’t come today!” Chu Yun quickly complained.
“Oh, I didn’t ask her to come.” Madam Liu’s face was expressionless.
“Mother, why?” Chu Yun frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
Madam Liu said lightly, “She was injured a few days ago and is resting at home. Your Third Sister-in-law has also asked a servant to help with Qingxiang’s wedding. She has already sent a gift and discussed it with Qingxiang in advance. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. There are so many guests here today. You shouldn’t be so willful and throw a tantrum.”
“Mother…” Chu Yun was shocked. She did not expect it to be her mother’s 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. “Ah
Yun, what did you give Qingxiang today?”
“It’s just a fragrant sachet. It’s not worth much, ” Chu Yun said awkvvardly.
Zhang Ru took it and touched it. It felt heavy. She immediately misunderstood and flattered, “Sister Yun, you are too humble. There is something inside. It is not an ordinary sachet.”
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. “Thank you, Eldest Aunt.”
Chu Yun’s eyes evaded his gaze. She felt a little guilty. “There’s no need to thank me. It’s my duty.”
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.
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 mother’s family..
