Chapter 202: Calculations from Various Sides
Chu Liushi sat at the main table, and this arrangement seemed appropriate.
"Sister-in-law, younger sister, don't be polite. You've been busy for so long, you must be hungry. Let's start eating." Chu Liushi smiled and said.
Others only exchanged polite words briefly before starting to eat.
Ye Pozi spoke quietly to Ye Muyu.
"Girl, are you alright?" Ye Pozi hesitated for a moment before asking.
Ye Muyu, who had just picked up a piece of meat for her, looked at her with confusion. "Mother, what's wrong?"
"You don't know?" Ye Pozi had a moment of bewilderment.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Muyu asked directly, "Mother, if there's something, just tell me."
With the lively atmosphere around and Chu Liushi taking care of the guests as instructed by Chu Heng, there was plenty of talk. Ye Pozi and Ye Muyu's quiet conversation was seen by others but no one eavesdropped. It was a rare moment for a mother and daughter to meet and people naturally refrained from interfering.
However, Cao seem somewhat absent-minded occasionally glanced towards the nearby table.
"Just now, didn't you go to the Chu family ancestral hall?"
"I followed along for the fun, feeling happy. But then, I overheard someone behind me talking about son-in-law discussing divorce with the clan. I was stunned."
"On impulse, I wanted to scold the person spreading rumors, but when I turned around, I couldn't find who it was. However, considering your previous advice, I refrained from doing so. Besides, I'm not foolish. It's your special day and causing a scene would only harm you."
At this moment, Ye Muyu felt a sudden surge of unnamed anger. Cao had deliberately plotted against her before and now, since one scheme had failed, she turned to using Ye Pozi?
It seemed that there is someone behind Cao and finding this person would reveal the reason for their actions.
Ye Muyu calmed herself down and looked at Ye Pozi. "Mother, it's right that you didn't make a scene. I suspect the one who said those things was just jealous. If Chu Heng wanted a divorce, there would be no need for this drama today."
"Those people are jealous and want to see you cause a scene to ruin today's events." Ye Muyu didn't plan to share too much with Ye Pozi. After all, there were many people around and she hadn't figured out the whole situation yet.
"Indeed, they harbor ill intentions." Ye Pozi, angered for a moment, remembered the lesson from earlier and restrained her temper. She asked Ye Muyu, "What should we do, girl?"
"Mother, let me figure out what's going on first, then we'll decide." Ye Muyu replied.
"Alright." Ye Pozi, suppressing her anger with food, eat quite a bit. Concerned about her stomach, Ye Muyu kept pouring her tea.
After a while, Ye Pozi couldn't take it anymore and excused herself to go to the restroom.
Cao also left.
Ye Muyu noticed that Cao went to meet with her maternal relatives. She called for Nenya, who took care of Ziluo and whispered a few words of instruction before returning to the table to continue eating.
Only after everyone else had finished did Ye Muyu get up.
Chu Liushi invited everyone to the guest room for tea, including Chu Yun.
Seeing Ye Muyu, Chu Yun scrutinized her for a long time, snorted disdainfully and then followed Chu Liushi into the room.
Ye Muyu didn't follow them, found an excuse and returned to the east wing.
Nenya was already waiting inside.
"How did it go?" Ye Muyu asked.
Nenya spoke word by word, "Madam, I followed the Clan Leader's wife. When she met with the Cao family's Madam, I couldn't hear their private conversation clearly. I only heard Cao's daughter, Cao Juan, arguing with Madam Cao, asking if what the Clan Leader's wife said was false and why Madam didn't react."
