 Chapter 296: Mrs. Xu's Complaint

People who tried to probe for information based on the results of the girl's art competition were instantly disappointed.


Ye Muyu had no intention of staying any longer.


After picking vegetables, she returned home with Ziluo and Nenya.


When the villagers saw them leave, they couldn't help but feel disappointed. Someone sighed softly "It seems Mrs. Ye really has no intention of letting Ziluo marry into our families. What a pity."


"Don't get your hopes up. I heard that Scholar Chu is going to take the exam in the capital this year. If he passes, he'll become a juren, a prestigious figure in the entire county. How can people like us in the countryside climb up to such connections?" A woman reminded them.


Others disagreed, "Didn't Scholar Chu take the exam a few years ago?"


"He faced unfortunate incidents both times he went to take the exam. If those accidents hadn't happened, Scholar Chu would probably have passed the exam long ago."


"He's just unlucky and bad luck seems to follow him everywhere. It's not a good sign."


"Hey, who are you talking about? Oh, isn't this Mrs. Cao from the Cao family? Your family doesn't seem to have produced anyone who studies, right?"


"That's right. Scholar Chu's life in the village was so good. Even if he didn't become a juren, he would have been the richest man in the village. It's not something everyone can climb up to. "


"I think being a wealthy man isn't bad. As for taking exams, there's only bad luck. I heard that the county scholars praised him for his excellent writing skills. If he had entered the exam room, he would have passed for sure. It might be someone jealous of him who sabotaged him on the way." Mrs. Liu, the butcher's wife, cleverly brought up a story that might appear in a book.


Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu chuckled and said, "I heard that you like literate men but you married a butcher who can't even recognize a single character. Now you're making up stories about being framed. Why don't you say that Scholar Chu offended someone and brought calamity upon himself?"


"So it's Mrs. Cao. Weren't you a relative of Mrs. Cao from the main branch of the Chu family? Why do you speak as if you're unhappy with literate people in the Chu family? Are you hoping for divine punishment?" Mrs. Liu's words irritated Mrs. Xu, but she didn't want to argue with her. It seemed troublesome.


However, Mrs. Xu's actions were quite interesting. Could it be that the Cao family and the Chu family had some grievances?


Mrs. Liu's words instantly aroused curiosity in others and they began asking her.


"Mrs. Cao, aren't you a relative of the Chu family? Why aren't you speaking up for Scholar Chu?"


"You're mistaken. Mrs. Cao is a relative of the main branch of the Chu family, not the third branch." Mrs. Liu didn't shy away from trouble. She was treated like an ancestor by her husband's family, so why would she let Mrs. Xu bully her?


This statement immediately stirred up a public opinion storm for Mrs. Xu.


Someone immediately asked with curiosity, "Mrs. Cao, is there any bad blood between your Cao family and Scholar Chu?"


"Are you kidding? Scholar Chu has such a promising future and he's polite. How could he possibly have a bad relationship with the Cao family? How did your Cao family offend him?"


Mrs. Xu was infuriated. Look at how she worded it, as if she and the Cao family had a bad relationship, causing all the Cao family girls to fail to make it to the top one hundred. She hadn't even settled the score with them yet.
