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 family’s 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.
“Grandma, I won’t regret it.” Chu Qingxiang gritted her teeth and said.
Madam Liu did not know whether to laugh or be sad. She withdrew her gaze from Chu Qingxiang’s face and looked at Madam Zhang. “Come with me.”
Madam Zhang was a little nervous. It had been a long time since she had seen her mother-in-law lose her temper.
“Mother, I’ve decided. Just do as I say.” 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 Qingxiang’s 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.
“What’s with that slap?” Madam Liu asked after she entered the room.
“Well… Qingxiang deliberately let the Wang family’s Third Young Miss hit her.
Song Lu rushed over and broke ties with the Wang family’s Third Young Miss.” Madam Zhang was a little careful. Seeing her mother-in-law’s expression was not good, she quickly explained, “Mother, Qingxiang was also forced to do so. The Wang family’s Third Young Miss was the one who was interrupting the marriage. She was wrong. We were also forced to resist.”
“And then the Third Young Miss of the Wang family really gave up?” Madam Liu asked coldly.
When Madam Zhang heard this, she instantly raised her head and puffed out her chest.
“Song Lu has already returned the bracelets that the Wang family gave to the Song family. The Wang family’s 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.” 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.
“Of course, Song Lu didn’t agree. He can earn money by writing books now.
Besides, my Qingxiang is also very outstanding…” She spoke in a softer voice. After all, no matter how capable Qingxiang was, she could not be compared to the Wang family’s Third Young Miss, who had brought a lot of property with her.
“And then? How did you confirm that the Third Young Miss of the Wang family had given up?” Madam Liu continued to ask.
“The Third Young Miss of the Wang Family said it herself,” Madam Zhang replied without thinking.
“Since Song Lu doesn’t want to marry her, she won’t marry him either. They’ll drop this matter.”
“Is the Third Young Miss of the Wang Clan so easy to talk to?” 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?
“That’s exactly what the Third Young Miss of the Wang family said. She left right after she said that. She didn’t even bother to talk to us.” 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. “Don’t go out anymore.”
Madam Zhang opened her mouth, “Mother, then the Song family…’
“Ha, 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, don’t even think about it since you’re so eager to marry into the Song Family,” Madam Liu said in dissatisfaction..
