Those who tried to sound her out with the results of the female arts competition were instantly disappointed.

Ye Muyu did not plan to stay any longer.

After picking the vegetables, she brought Ziluo and Nenya back.

When the villagers saw that she had left, they really wanted to tell their sons about Chu Ziluo. They could not help but sigh softly. “It seems that Lady Ye really doesn’t want to find a husband for Ziluo yet. What a pity.”

“I say it’s better to not overthink it. I heard that Scholar Chu is going to the capital city for the examination this year. If he passes, he will be a high scholar. He will be a big shot whose name will shake the entire village. How can we country bumpkins get close to him?” A woman reminded.

“Didn’t Scholar Chu take the exam a few years ago?” someone disagreed.

“He had two unfortunate accidents on the way to the exam. If those accidents hadn’t happened, Scholar Chu might have passed the exam long ago.”

“This person is so unlucky.”

“Heh, I was wondering who you are. Yo, aren’t you the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cao family? I don’t think there’s a scholar in your family, right?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Scholar

Chu’s days in the village are extremely good. Even if he didn’t get into the High Scholar’s examination, he’s still the richest man in the village. How can anyone be able to climb up to him?”

“In my opinion, it’s not bad to be a rich man. As for the accident during the exam, it’s a pity for Scholar Chu. I heard that the teachers in the county praised him for his excellent writing skills. If he enters the exam hall, he’ll definitely pass the exam. Maybe someone jealous of him did something to him.” The village butcher’s wife, Lady Liu, had a sudden thought and said in an orderly manner.

Madam Xu snickered. “Lady Liu, everyone says that you like scholars, but in the end, you married an illiterate butcher. Now, you’re making up a story about Scholar Chu getting schemed against. Why don’t you say that Chu Heng offended someone and that the heavens have punished him?”

“So it’s the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cao family. Aren’t you from the Chu family’s eldest branch, Old Madam Cao’s maiden family? Why? Are you saying that you don’t like the scholars of the Chu family and want the heavens to punish you?” Lady Liu’s words were very crafty. Of course, she was annoyed by Madam Xu’s words, but she was also unwilling to scold her because she felt tired.

However, the other party’s actions were really too interesting. Could it be that the Cao family really had a grudge against the Chu family or Chu Heng?

Lady Liu’s words instantly aroused the curiosity of the others, and they all asked her.

“Madam Xu, isn’t your Cao family, in-laws with the Chu family? Why aren’t you speaking up for Chu Heng?”

“You’re wrong. Madam Xu is the in-laws of the Chu family’s first branch, not the third branch,” Lady Liu explained. She was treated like an ancestor by Butcher Liu in her husband’s family. How could she be willing to let Madam Xu bully her?

These words instantly caused Madam Xu to fall into a storm of public opinion.

“Madam Xu,” someone immediately asked curiously,” Is your Cao family on bad terms with Scholar Chu?”

“Are you stupid? Scholar Chu has such a bright future and knows how to be polite, yet he still has a bad relationship with the other party. How did your Cao family offend him?”

Madam Xu was furious. If she had a bad relationship with Chu Heng, was it because her Cao family had done something wrong and offended someone?

Chu Heng did not allow the girls of the Cao family to enter the Chu family to learn the four arts, so her girls did not enter the top hundred this time. She had yet to settle the score with him..
