Chapter 635: Tang Rou's Self-recommendation?
Madam Xie herself led Ye Muyu into the inner room.
A maid immediately brought in tea and poured it for the two of them before exiting.
"Your urgency in what you just said is understandable." Madam Xie went straight to the point.
Ye Muyu smiled shyly, but confessed, "I am indeed a bit anxious. This matter, ultimately involves my husband's participation, so it must be very important. If it goes well, it will surely be a credit to my elder brother. If it doesn't..."
There was no need to say more about what would happen next.
Madam Xie smiled lightly, "I like your candid nature."
"You may not know, but Tang Rou once came to see me."
Ye Muyu was slightly surprised. Her biggest impression of Tang Rou was that she would stop at nothing for status, with a beautiful yet ruthless personality and no moral bottom line. She would do anything that benefited herself.
Having such a person around was quite terrifying. That's why Ye Muyu had firmly urged Chu Liushi and Ye Pozi to force a response from the Tang family.
After all, who knew when the other party would find an opportunity to attach themselves to Chu Heng and ruin this intact family... She didn't have a penchant for engaging in household struggles.
As it turned out, her speculation was correct. Tang Rou was indeed not someone with a kind heart.
"Why would she come to you?" Ye Muyu asked curiously. Did Tang Rou feel that there was no way out with Chu Heng, so she decided to target the Xie family instead?
Madam Xie picked up her tea cup and took a sip, her expression calm. "I'm not sure where she found out from, but I was arranging a marriage for my third son in private and she volunteered herself."
"Volunteered...?" Ye Muyu didn't feel any surprise at all. She thought this was something Tang Rou would do, as it was entirely normal for her.
However, the other party always seemed to know some news in advance.
Ye Muyu couldn't help but speculate. Where did she get so many connections? She had deeper suspicions but she didn't have evidence to draw conclusions.
"Yes, she came forward voluntarily."
Ye Muyu asked, "Madam, are you not satisfied with her?"
"Yes, I don't like her. Naturally, I won't keep her." Madam Xie didn't explain why.
"Since Madam doesn't like her, I'll be honest. My husband mentioned something before. Around the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, Tang Rou drugged the Third Young Master Xie in the teahouse of the Piaoxiang restaurant. Although my husband was there at the time, nothing happened. However, Tang Rou's actions were indeed a bit too bold."
No matter the era, women who used such ruthless methods were disliked, especially if they were plotting against oneself.
Madam Xie's expression changed, "Is this true?"
"I may have spoken out of turn." Ye Muyu couldn't be sure if Madam Xie knew about this matter. After all, Madam Xie had both means and status. What she knew might have been known to the other party long ago. She mentioned it just to make the Xie family be wary of Tang Rou.
To prevent any trouble if Tang Rou ever managed to plot against them.
Madam Xie quickly regained her composure, "How could it be speaking out of turn? If you didn't say it, how would I know the next time she plots against me?"
"I have actually investigated Tang Rou's background before, so I rejected her proposal."
"But I also noticed that she seems to be persistent. However, why she went to the Wang family later and still refused to become the Wang family's young mistress, I don't know." Madam Xie didn't have the time to deal with such a small character.
