Chapter 640: Hidden Circumstances
"After that, Xie Family's Third Young Master used their influence to send the kidnappers to the county government."
"Maybe you don't know, but Wang's family even dared to kidnap the county magistrate." Chu Liushi sneered and suddenly picked up the teacup beside her, angrily threw it on the ground, and with a bang, the teacup shattered into pieces. "Zhang, Qingxiang, kneel down for me."
Zhang trembled in fear and already shocked by the news fell to her knees with a thud upon hearing Chu Liushi's words.
"Mother... I didn't expect things to be so serious."
Ever since Ye Muyu was kidnapped, Zhang had been uneasy. Knowing Ye Muyu's personality, she would never stand idly by.
Chu Qingxiang widened her eyes in shock. Although she felt somewhat resentful, she dared not defy Chu Liushi, especially with her father also kneeling down. Therefore, she followed suit and knelt down.
"Wang's family is so audacious. When you were interacting with Wang's third miss, did you ever think that she would be so bold in her actions? Clearly, she must have had some confidence?" Chu Liushi's chest heaved with anger and she coughed lightly.
Chu Zhiwen quickly stepped forward to pat her back gently, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. You're already old, why bother getting angry with yourself?"
"It's all because of you. You don't care about anything. When the children misbehave at home, you never bother to guide them." Chu Liushi seized the opportunity to scold him, which was extremely rare. Normally, she was very rational and never undermined Chu Zhiwen's authority as the male head of the household in front of outsiders. However, today, she scolded him severely, leaving even Chu Lin pale.
"Mother, it's my fault. Please don't be angry..."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault too..." Chu Zhiwen had witnessed his wife's temper before. Once she got angry, it meant that something serious had happened. This time, it nearly resulted in their third daughter-in-law losing her life. No wonder she was so angry.
He followed Chu Liushi's mood and tried to placate her, showing weakness as well.
Chu Liushi gave him a glare, "You're the best at appeasing others."
"Sit down, stop being annoying. I haven't finished speaking yet."
Chu Zhiwen smiled broadly, "Alright, alright, I won't delay you. If you need to take action, I'll do it."
"Humph!" Chu Liushi felt somewhat relieved.
Her gaze toward Chu Qingxiang and Zhang also became calmer. This didn't mean she wasn't angry anymore, but rather she became even more composed.
"Qingxiang, do I need to ask again? What exactly did you say to Wang's third miss back then?" Chu Liushi asked calmly.
A trace of panic flashed in Chu Qingxiang's eyes.
"Mother, I just told her that I was engaged to the Song family and didn't want to break off the engagement." Chu Qingxiang bit her lip.
Zhang looked puzzled, "Mother, are you misunderstanding something? Qingxiang wouldn't have the guts to provoke Wang's third miss. Could it be that Miss Wang is narrow-minded, so she decided to cause trouble for us?"
Feeling wronged, Zhang had scolded Wang Yan countless times over these past few days. Why would a high-born miss like her want to snatch her daughter's fiance and cause trouble for them? They were leading peaceful lives, yet she chose to bother them. Was she out of her mind?
Chu Liushi no longer wanted to entertain Zhang's foolish idea of protecting Qingxiang. She looked meaningfully at Chu Qingxiang, "I used to believe that too, but this time I sent someone to ask Wang's third miss in the prison. Qingxiang, guess what she told me?"
Chu Qingxiang's heart skipped a beat.
