Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Old Madam Ye pretended to run into the Song family’s child in the village. The child is only five or six years old and doesn’t know anything. So, Old Madam Ye asked and found out.”

“She said that the bracelet was given to her by her big sister.”

“If this isn’t evidence, then I’ve wronged her. But Song Lu’s sister, Song Qing, somehow found out that I knew the Ye family. She rushed in, pushed me to the ground, and scolded me for bullying her sister. She even said that the Chu family was unworthy of Song Lu, yet we still dared to ask for so much betrothal money. She said that the Chu family was shameless.”

When Madam Zhang said this, she was so angry that her face turned ashen. Her eyes were bloodshot and the veins on her forehead were bulging. “This is the marriage that the adults are discussing. How can a girl have a say in it?!”

“How dare she say that the Chu family is shameless? I think the Song family is the one who is trying to climb up the social ladder. They are shameless!”

“I slapped her right away!”

Chu Lin was shocked by Madam Zhang’s anger. He quickly stood up and reached out to grab her. At the same time, he patted her back. “Don’t be anxious. Let’s talk slowly. Don’t get angry.”

As expected of her husband, he understood Madam Zhang’s character very well.

Chu Lin’s words made Madam Zhang’s emotions calm down a little. She said hatefully, “That’s right. I can’t be angry. How can I let that girl from the Song family benefit?! ”

“You hit Song Qing, and then what?” Madam Liu was also very angry, but the angrier she was, the more rational she became. On the other hand, Madam Zhang would panic the more worried she was.

Chu Lin gently stroked Madam Zhang’s back, letting her catch her breath.

His eyes were filled with worry. He knew how much his wife valued this son-in-law. Now that they had been mocked and their daughter’s reputation might be affected, she was furious.

Madam Zhang took a few deep breaths and said, “After beating that girl, I asked her to pass a message. If there is anything, come directly to my Chu family and say it. Don’t hide and covet other people’s benefits.”

“Song Qing even pointed fingers at me. She said that even if her brother didn’t marry Qingxiang, there were other ladies who liked him too. She said that our family was delaying Song Lu’s future and wanted us to cancel the engagement.” “I won’t say those unpleasant words anymore. In short, that’s about it.”

“I wonder if the Song family is like this. I want to see if they dare to come here personally.”

“Song Lu also knows about this?” Chu Zhiwen asked with a frown.

“Father, do you think Song Lu doesn’t know about his family matters?” Chu Lin frowned. “Do you still have hopes for him?”

“I’m just asking. After all, we don’t know many details,” Chu Zhiwen explained. However, it was obvious that Madam Liu would not accept his attempt to smooth things over. She glared at the old man and said, “It doesn’t matter if Song Lu knows about it or not. He’s engaged to Qingxiang but he still let’s Miss

Song do such a thing. We can’t just let this matter go.”

“In the end, the Song family has let us down.”

“If this matter is true, then what the Song family did was a stupid thing,” Madam Liu said calmly.

Ye Muyu noticed Madam Liu’s hesitant expression and knew that she must have thought that the Song family must have had the confidence to do this. As for how they got the confidence, it must have something to do with Landlord Wang’s family.

Obviously, if they did not handle it properly, the Chu family would be the one to suffer.

However, the Chu family still had the upper hand..
