Chapter 488 - 488: Perseverance
“Mother, what should we do now?” Madam Zhang was confused for a moment.
Chu Lin also subconsciously looked at Madam Liu. At home, he always knew that his mother was the smartest. If there was any problem in front of her, she would solve it easily.
Madam Liu glanced at Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu’s expression was calm. There was no anger or shock on her face, nor did she show any cold reaction like she was watching a good show. Obviously, this third daughter-in-law must have some thoughts in her heart.
Compared to his eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Zhang, Ye Muyu was calmer and smarter.
Madam Liu was also a little relieved. As for Madam Liu, she thought that this matter was related to Qingxiang. If she did not handle it well, it would affect the reputation of the other unmarried women of the Chu family. It was understandable that Madam Zhang was a little flustered. She could not blame Madam Zhang at this time.
“I just want to ask, what do you guys think?”
“Should we continue the marriage with the Song family, or should we ask the Song family for compensation and cancel the marriage?”
In fact, Ye Muyu also wanted to ask this question. Only after confirming their attitude could they talk about what would happen next.
Madam Zhang instantly hesitated.
Chu Lin did not even think about it. “It looks like the Song family wants to cancel this marriage. Moreover, Landlord Wang’s family is involved. Of course, we will choose to cancel the marriage. However, we can’t ruin Qingxiang’s reputation.”
“No.” Madam Zhang frowned and refuted.
“What?”
Ye Muyu looked at Madam Zhang and saw the struggle in her eyes. She could not help but look at the door.
The door was closed. After all, this matter could not be spread.
However, Ye Muyu noticed that there was a figure at the side door. It seemed like it was Chu Qingxiang.
“The Song family clearly doesn’t want to continue the marriage with our Chu family, yet you and Qingxiang still insist on continuing this marriage?” How could Madam Liu not guess why Madam Zhang was hesitating?
Obviously, she already knew the meaning behind Madam Zhang’s words. The unwilling one was her granddaughter, Chu Qingxiang.
Ye Muyu was still looking at the door, thinking that Chu Qingxiang could not endure any longer.
As expected, before she could think further, the door of the central room was pushed open and Chu Qingxiang walked in with red eyes.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Father, Mother, Third Aunt, Qingxiang is unfilial.” Chu Qingxiang walked in and knelt in front of all the elders. Her gaze was unprecedentedly determined.
Ye Muyu suddenly remembered that during the female arts competition, her niece had burned several of her fingers when practicing her cooking. There were also calluses on her hands that were caused by holding needles for a long time.
This girl was probably stubborn.
“You…” Madam Liu was shocked. Her old eyes were misty. She advised in a sad voice, ‘Qingxiang, you are a good child. You are diligent and capable. Why must you fight to the death with a man?”
“If you want to find someone with an official position, we can go to Lin County or even the prefecture!”
“Grandma, do you think that a scholar would agree to marry me if he knew that my engagement was broken off?” Chu Qingxiang’s eyes were filled with sadness.
However, a moment later, her gaze became even more determined. “Since Song Lu is the husband that I, Chu Qingxiang, have set my mind on, I can only marry him in this lifetime. Whether I live or die, or what happens to me, it’s all my own choice. It’s just that I have let down my parents and grandparents.”
Chu Qingxiang suddenly bent down and kowtowed to them..
