 Chapter 478: No Need to Panic

As Zhang was speaking, the door suddenly pushed open, and Qingxiang pushed the door open from outside. Her eyes were red, and she stared stubbornly at the elders, not bothering to bow, and said firmly, "Mother, I'm going to marry Song Lu. I won't marry anyone else."


"You little brat!" Zhang was angry and wanted to slap her, but she couldn't bear to. She could only hold her and gently pat her, saying she was unfortunate.


Seeing the chaos in front of her, Chu Liushi frowned and interrupted, "Alright, let's see what Ah Heng has to say."


Chu Liushi had long expected Qingxiang's choice.


It wasn't so much disappointment as it was the logical result of Qingxiang's rational analysis.


But Qingxiang's forceful entrance made her seem too demanding, which might not be a good thing if everything was like this.


After all, she hadn't married yet and there was still time for guidance. Chu Liushi could only think positively.


After everyone quieted down, Chu Heng said, "Have you ever thought about why the Song family's attitude changed so much?"


"Since it was Song Lu who backed down before, is it him who's not backing down now, or is there something else?"


"Could it be that they're using Qingxiang's reputation to threaten us?" Zhang was surprised even Qingxiang felt that way. Hearing Chu Heng's words, she was slightly surprised.


Chu Liushi frowned slightly.


There was always a sense of foreboding.


Chu Heng crossed his index fingers and tapped them lightly, asking, "Was there any witness at the time?"


"Does it count if it's Huang Shi?" Zhang was a little nervous. At this moment, she regretted letting her daughter meet with Song Lu alone, because she couldn't help but worry about it. She didn't even know if the Song family had intentionally arranged for witnesses.


"No."


"Was there any physical evidence?" Chu Heng remained calm from start to finish.


Influenced by him, Zhang's somewhat panicked heart finally calmed down a bit. She turned her head to look at Qingxiang, who was standing beside her.


"Qingxiang, did you give Song Lu any personal belongings that you shouldn't have?" Zhang didn't care if anyone was there and asked directly, showing her impatience.


Qingxiang's voice was very soft. "No, we only exchanged a few words and then parted ways. He gave me some pastries."


"With no witnesses and no physical evidence, using the reputation of the woman may not be very effective. With the status of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, arranging another marriage for Qingxiang shouldn't be impossible."


"And if it's just for the sake of a couple of taels of silver and the cost of the banquet, ruining the relationship with the Chu family seems inconsistent with the Song family's past behavior."


"I suggest that the eldest brother and sister-in-law go and find out what happened to the Song family recently before considering other matters."


"At the very least, we need to understand why the Song family suddenly changed their minds. Only by knowing the root cause can we come up with a strategy."


"In any case, there's still a month to go, so there's no need to rush."


After finishing speaking, Chu Heng stood up, and Chu Cai, who was halfway through his tea, hastily put down his teacup and choked on it, but he didn't care and stood up as well.


"Father, mother, then I'll go back first. Little Jin at home still needs help with his homework." Chu Heng spoke up.


Chu Liushi also understood that what the third son said made sense. They were just confused by the sudden visit of the Song family today and forgot about this crucial point.


After all, it wasn't something that could be rushed, and it didn't delay the third son's studies.


Chu Liushi nodded. "Then you should go back quickly. You also need to go to the capital to take the exam. At this critical moment, if this matter arises, it must be dealt with properly."


The implication was that it shouldn't affect Chu Heng's exams.
