PWDLAW Chapter 657 Losing Face
Chapter 657 Losing Face
After stabilizing himself, Song Lu quickly bowed to Chu Lin, "Father-in-law, I'm sorry for disappointing you."
"You better treat my daughter well in the future. We won't interfere much, but we can't allow any more insults to our Chu family." Chu Lin already knew about Chu Heng passing the imperial examination.
Even the daring Song family didn't dare to insult the reputation of the Chu family after the news spread to the village.
As for his daughter, since she was willing to marry, then let her marry. Lingering on will only breed resentment.
"There won't be a next time." Song Lu promised.
Chu Lin had grievances against the Song family, and as a result, he didn't even look at Song Lu with a good expression.
He didn't accept his gesture of respect.
He quickly went out to ask his cousins for help and replaced the sedan chair with a mule cart.
After Chu Sheng helped Chu Qingxiang onto the cart and handed her over to Song Lu, the marriage was considered settled.
Ye Muyu had no idea about Chu Qingxiang's marriage situation. It was only after Qian finished drinking and came to ask about Chu Heng's news that she mentioned it to her.
"Ah Yu, what do you think the Song family is trying to do? They dropped the ball on the wedding day. It's not just humiliating Qingxiang, it's putting the entire face of our Chu family on the ground." Qian said, somewhat angry.
Ye Muyu was not surprised by this. The appearance of Wang Yan had already whetted the appetite of the Song family members. They were all ordinary people who had been poor for a long time and couldn't bear to return to their previous poverty after suddenly becoming rich.
In their eyes, Wang Yan was a golden opportunity.
Chu Qingxiang had ruined their plans, so how could the Song family give her face?
"Fortunately, Sister-in-law acted quickly and arranged everything, so we didn't miss the auspicious time and saved face." Qian sighed. If it were her, she wouldn't marry into the Song family. After all, with Chu Lin's arrangements, the Chu family didn't lose much face, but Chu Qingxiang, the newly minted scholar's wife, was really embarrassed.
Ye Muyu didn't care about this.
Her mother-in-law was quite capable.
She just needed to live her own life well.
"Oh, by the way, Ah Yu, has Ah Heng come back?" Qian didn't pay much attention to Chu Qingxiang. After all, her niece had already married, so she was more concerned about how to spend her days.
She had wanted to come see Chu Heng before the banquet, but unfortunately, Chu Yun's mouth was too fierce. In order to avoid trouble, she left after eating.
But when she thought of her sister-in-law's attitude towards Chu Yun, she felt happy.
Her steps were much lighter when she left the old mansion.
"Yes, he's back and resting. He hasn't rested for three days on his way back. I see him resisting, and it's not good for his health, so I let him rest properly."
"If Auntie wants to talk to him, she probably has to wait until tomorrow." Ye Muyu kindly reminded her.
Qian waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay. I came here to talk to you. Oh, by the way, about Ah Heng's exam..."
Ye Muyu immediately understood that after Chu Zhiwen went back, he probably only told Chu Lin about it, and no one else knew the news.
She smiled and nodded gently.
Qian's eyes widened, looking surprised, "He passed?"
"Yes, but the official report hasn't arrived yet. I thought we would inform the family when it arrives."
"Whoever saw Ah Heng come back with so many people, this news probably can't be kept secret." Ye Muyu also felt a headache. She thought, if too many people asked, it probably couldn't be kept secret, but anyway, this kind of exam matter wouldn't be faked by the government.
