These few days, Madam Liu did not bother about Chu Qingxiang and Madam Zhang anymore.

She turned a blind eye to the fact that the mother and daughter often went out.

As for the eldest son, Chu Lin, after asking for her opinion, he remained silent and did not stop the mother and daughter from leaving.

On the second day, Song Lu came to visit and explained the matter. He also assured that he had nothing to do with the Landlord Wang’s family and explained the matter clearly.

After Chu Heng asked Lu Chuan to inform the family of this matter, and seeing that Song Lu was willing to take the initiative to tell them about it and did not hide it, Chu Qingxiang and Chu Zhiwen’s anger subsided a little.

However, he was still not optimistic about Chu Qingxiang marrying Song Lu.

Although Song Lu insisted on marrying Chu Qingxiang and did not care about the Wang family’s power and wealth, the conflict between Madam Zhang and the Song family’s elders had already arisen.

If Qingxiang married into the Song family, it was inevitable that Madam Huang would mind it.

Although breaking off the engagement would affect their reputation, with the current generous savings of the Chu family, they could still find a good family for her.

Madam Liu could tell that although Madam Huang was weak, she was easily egged on. She had no opinion of her own, so she firmly believed in her daughter and sister-in-law’s words.

Even if that Song Qing girl got married, she would still return to her mother’s house.

Whenever she would go back, she would try to instigate Madam Huang. As time went by, the conflict between Qingxiang and her future mother-in-law would probably be difficult to resolve.

This point made Madam Liu suddenly think of her relationship with Madam

Ye.

Even she had yet to properly handle her relationship with Madam Ye. Qingxiang would probably suffer the same hardships as Madam Ye. again, or even more grievances than Madam Ye.

Madam Liu felt a headache coming on. She could not help but wonder if her family’s Feng Shui was bad. Why would a girl who had a relationship with a scholar have such a conflict?

“Bodhisattva, Buddha, bless the family with peace and joy. May the conflict be resolved…” That afternoon, Madam Liu bought incense from the street near the school and made a wish to the god tablet at home.

Chu Zhiwen came back at night with a hoe. When he saw the smoke-filled central room, he was a little puzzled. “It’s not a festival today, is it?”

“I’m praying to the Buddha. I hope that this mess at home will be over as soon as possible,” Madam Liu said sincerely.

“Are you talking about Qingxiang’s marriage?” Chu Zhiwen asked.

“Shouldn’t we go to the marriage tree? Buddha and Bodhisattva don’t care about marriage.”

“What do you know? Buddha and Bodhisattva are omnipotent. They can definitely help with anything.”

As Madam Liu spoke, she even slapped her own mouth, saying that she had offended Buddha.

Chu Zhiwen could not help but laugh. He did not agree with his wife’s behavior, but he did not say anything. Otherwise, if he continued, his wife would definitely be angry with him.

“Aren’t you not in a hurry? Let Qingxiang choose for herself. Anyway, as her grandparents, we have already reminded her. If she insists on getting married, can we stop her from pursuing her own happiness?”

Madam Liu glanced at him. “You’re really free and easy. I’m just afraid that if there’s any change in the marriage, it will affect the other girls in the family.”

“There are still two girls in the second and third household who haven’t been betrothed yet. In another two or three years, they will have to look for a husband.”

“Didn’t you say that it would be in two or three years? Besides, the two girls will be considered young in five years. By then, the impact of Qingxiang’s marriage will have long passed.”

“I’m talking about our second son and third son.” Madam Liu rolled her eyes.

Chu Zhiwen was slightly embarrassed. He coughed twice. His old face turned red. He was a little embarrassed. “I haven’t seen anyone from the clan leader’s side these past two days..”
