Chapter 669 Your Purpose for Coming
Just then, Chu Xing hurriedly ran in from outside. Seeing Chu Heng's immediate joy, he said, "Ah Heng, Master He is here in person and brought many gifts."
Upon hearing this, Chu Heng, as if no one else was around, passed by Chu Qingxue and her mother, grabbed Ye Muyu, called for Chu Liushi, and strode toward the courtyard gate.
Ye Muyu didn't have a good impression of this second aunt and cousin Qingxue, and seeing her mother-in-law not getting along with them, she naturally chose to stand with Chu Heng and Chu Liushi without hesitation and followed along.
Chu Liushi felt relieved and glanced at Chu Qingxue and her daughter who were still focused on Chu Heng as they left. She kindly reminded, "Second Sister, you two find a place to rest first. There are many guests today, so please be understanding."
At this moment, Chu Hongmei was feeling upset. She heard the reminder but pretended not to, saying to herself, "Ah Heng's wife is so impolite, with so many guests at home, she's just following Ah Heng around like that, so clueless."
"Second sister, your talent for defaming others has grown over the years. This is Ah Heng's home. Are you not afraid of being thrown out?"
"Third sister, you go busy yourself. It's been many years since I've seen second sister. I want to talk to her."
Chu Xingjun had long noticed the movements of Chu Hongmei and the others. Although she was drinking tea, she could hear clearly. Her face sank. This second sister's temperament hadn't changed, and she wasn't afraid of offending people.
Did she really think everyone was as hypocritical as those so-called wealthy families? Does she like hearing her talk about all these irrelevant things?
Seeing Chu Xingjun, Chu Liushi felt relieved and nodded, saying, "Big sister, thank you."
Obviously, she considered Chu Hongmei to be a troublemaker.
Chu Hongmei heard it and felt angry. She sarcastically said, "Third sister, it seems that not only is your daughter-in-law incompetent, but now you can't even distinguish right from wrong..."
"Second sister!"
"Mother!"
Two voices sounded in succession.
Chu Hongmei's words were directly blocked.
Chu Xingjun stood up and walked to Chu Hongmei's side, smiling kindly at Chu Liushi. "Third sister, you should go quickly. I see that the gentry's lineup is quite grand. You and third brother should also go."
"Thank you, big sister." Chu Liushi no longer hesitated and turned to leave. Her departing figure was dignified and not at all like a rural woman.
Chu Qingxue was somewhat surprised and thought to herself, it seems that Cousin Heng's family is not as simple as mother said, purely rural people.
After Chu Liushi left, Chu Hongmei stomped her foot angrily and turned to glare at Chu Xingjun. "Big sister, why did you stop me? You even embarrassed me. It was clearly third sister's inadequate hospitality."
"Are you suggesting that she shouldn't go to entertain distinguished guests but entertain you instead? Do you really think that apart from the Luo family, there are no other wealthy families in the world?"
"Second sister, over the years, you have looked down on our family and refused to associate with us mud legs. I didn't say anything. However, in other people's homes, you still need to watch your mouth. It's your own face that's lost when others are embarrassed."
"It's you who's losing face. As the wife of the Luo family, how could I lose face? Clearly, it's your own lack of progress." Chu Hongmei said angrily, looking around the room with disdain.
The only thing she could respect was Chu Heng's status as an imperial scholar.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come back.
Chu Xingjun could see through her thoughts. With a firm gaze, she said, "Anyway, you stay here and think about your intention for coming."
Sure enough, this statement silenced Chu Hongmei.
