Chapter 507 Things Aren't So Simple
These days, she hadn't paid attention to Chu Qingxiang and Zhang anymore.
She turned a blind eye to the frequent outings of the mother and daughter.
As for her eldest son Chu Lin, after asking for her opinion, he also remained silent and didn't stop the mother and daughter from going out.
As for Song Lu, he had visited on the second day to explain the matter and assure that he had no connection with the Wang family, clarifying the details of their interaction.
After Chu Heng had instructed Luchuan to inform the main family of this matter, and seeing that Song Lu was willing to voluntarily explain everything without, Zhang and Chu Zhiwen's anger eased slightly.
However, they still didn't approve of Chu Qingxiang marrying Song Lu.
Although Song Lu insisted on marrying Chu Qingxiang and didn't care much about the power and wealth of the Wang family, there was already a conflict between Zhang and the elders of the Wang family.
If Qingxiang married into the Wang family, it was inevitable that Huang Shi would not be happy.
Although breaking off the engagement would affect their reputation somewhat, with the generous savings of the Chu family nowadays, adding a bit more dowry, they could still find a good family for her.
Chu Liushi could see that although Huang Shi was weak-willed, she was easily influenced and had no opinions of her own. She trusted her daughter and sister-in-law implicitly.
Even if that girl named Song Qing got married, she would still come back to her parents' home in the future.
Every time she came back, she would influence Huang Shi, and over time it would be difficult to resolve the conflict between Qingxiang and her future mother-in-law.
This made Chu Liushi suddenly think of her own relationship with Ye Muyu back then.
Even she hadn't managed her relationship with Ye Muyu well, and Qingxiang might suffer even more grievances than Ye Muyu did, or even more.
Chu Liushi felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but wonder if their family had bad feng shui. Why did every girl involved with a scholar have to face such conflicts?
"May the Buddha bless our family with peace and joy, and may conflicts be resolved..." That afternoon, Chu Liushi bought incense from the street near the school and made a wish in front of the family's shrine.
When Chu Zhiwen came back in the evening carrying a hoe and saw the smoke-filled the main hall, he was puzzled. "Wife, what are you doing? Is today a special day?"
"I'm praying to the gods and Buddhas, hoping that the chaotic matters in our family will be resolved soon." Chu Liushi said earnestly.
Chu Zhiwen was full of question marks. "Are you talking about Qingxiang's marriage?"
"Shouldn't you be praying for a good marriage? The Buddha and Bodhisattva don't handle marriage matters."
"What do you know? The Buddha and Bodhisattva are all-powerful, and they can certainly help."
Chu Liushi patted her mouth and said she had offended the Buddha.
Chu Zhiwen chuckled, not entirely approving of his wife's behavior but he didn't say much. If he did, his wife would get angry.
"Aren't you not in a hurry? Let Qingxiang make her own choice. Anyway, as her grandparents, we've already reminded her. If she insists on marrying, we can't stop her from pursuing her own happiness."
Chu Liushi gave him a sideways glance. "You're so carefree. I'm worried that this marriage might change, affecting the other girls in the family."
"Second and third rooms still have two young girls who haven't been engaged yet. In another two or three years, they'll be of marriageable age."
"You said it would be two or three years later. Besides, in five years, the two girls will still be young. By then, the impact of Qingxiang's marriage will have passed."
"I'm talking about Second son and Third son's families." Chu Liushi rolled her eyes.
Chu Zhiwen felt a bit awkward and cleared his throat. "We haven't seen anyone from the clan coming over these days."
