Chapter 657: Losing Face

Song Lu quickly bowed to him. “I’m sorry, Father-in-law. I’ve disappointed you.”

“Just treat my daughter well in the future. We won’t interfere, but don’t do anything to insult the Chu family again.” Chu Lin already knew that Chu Heng had passed the imperial examination.

No matter how bold the Song family was, they would not dare to insult the Chu family’s reputation after the news reached the village.

As for her daughter, since she was willing to marry, then they would just proceed. Besides, they might become enemies if they stopped the marriage “There won’t be a next time,” Song Lu promised.

Chu Lin had a bad opinion of the Song family, and he did not have a good expression toward Song Lu either.

He did not accept his courtesy.

Soon, he went out to ask his cousins for help and replaced the sedan chair with a mule cart.

Once Chu Sheng carried Chu Qingxiang on the mule cart and handed her over to Song Lu, the marriage would be settled.

Ye Muyu did not know about Chu Qingxiang’s marriage at all. After the banquet was done, Madam Qian came over to ask about Chu Heng, so she also told Ye Muyu about it.

“Ah Yu, what do you think the Song family is doing? Not only are they bullying Qingxiang, but he’s also trampling on the face of the entire Chu family,” Madam Qian said angrily.

Ye Muyu was not surprised by this. The appearance of the Third Miss of the Wang family had already raised the appetite of the Song family. They were all ordinary people who were afraid of poverty. If they suddenly became rich, how could they bear to return to their original poor days?

In their eyes, Wang Yan was like gold.

Chu Qingxiang had ruined their plans. The Song family was not satisfied with this daughter-in-law, so how could they give her face?

“Fortunately, Third Sister-in-law acted quickly and arranged everything. We didn’t miss the auspicious time and saved face.” Madam Qian sighed. If it were her, she would not let Qingxiang marry Song Lu. After all, with Madam Liu’s arrangements, the Chu family did not lose much face. However, Chu Qingxiang, the new scholar’s wife, had really lost face.

Ye Muyu did not mind.

Her mother-in-law was really capable.

Anyway, Ye Muyu minded her own business.

“Oh right, Ah Yu, is Ah Heng back?” Madam Qian did not pay too much attention to Chu Qingxiang. After all, her niece was already married off. How she lived her life was up to her.

She had wanted to come over to see Chu Heng before eating, but Chu Yun’s mouth was too sharp. In order to avoid trouble, she had eaten before leaving.

However, when she thought of her third sister-in-law’s attitude towards Chu Yun, she was happy.

When they left the old residence, their footsteps were much lighter.

‘Yes, he’s back. He’s still resting. He hasn’t rested for three consecutive days on the way back. I think it’s not good for his body, so I let him rest.”

“If Fifth Aunt wants to talk to him, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until tomorrow.” Ye Muyu kindly reminded him.

Madam Qian waved her hand. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m just here to talk to you. Oh right, Ah Heng’s exam…”

When Ye Muyu heard this, she knew that after Chu Zhiwen went back, he probably only told Madam Liu about it. No one else knew about the news.

She smiled and nodded.

Madam Qian’s eyes widened in shock. “He passed?”

“Yes, but the good news hasn’t come yet. I was thinking that I’ll inform the clan when the time comes.”

“Too many people saw Ah Heng when he came back. I’m afraid this news can’t be hidden.” Ye Muyu felt a headache coming on. If too many people asked, she would not be able to hide it. Since that was the case, she would not hide it anymore. After all, the yamen would not fake the results..
