Chu Hongmei was so angry that her face turned ashen. She could not say anything to Madam Liu, who was her sister-in-law, but she could not tolerate Ye Muyu, who was a junior.
“Third Sister-in-law, look at what she’s saying. Aren’t you going to do anything about it? How can such a daughter-in-law be worthy of being the wife of a high scholar?”
“Oh? I wonder who Second Aunt thinks is worthy of being the wife of a high scholar?” Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
“That must be my Qingxue.” Chu Hongmei said without thinking.
“Oh really? Cousin Qingxue has no family background and no looks. It’s almost impossible. You still need to consider the reality, Second Aunt.” Chu Heng’s voice was calm, and he sounded like he was giving out instructions in a serious tone.
Chu Hongmei’s cheeks flushed red. She was angry but did not dare to offend him.
“Ah Heng, what are you saying? How many years has it been since you last saw Qingxue? Qingxue is so beautiful. Ah, Qingxue is back. Ah Heng, take a look…” When Chu Hongmei saw Luo Qingxue, her eyes lit up and she quickly called her over.
Madam Liu’s expression changed slightly. She felt that Chu Hongmei was up to no good.
Ye Muyu was calm. She looked at Chu Heng with a smile and whispered, “Aren’t you busy?” Why are you here?”
“With Father, Ah Xing, and the others helping, I don’t have to accompany them one by one.” Chu Heng squeezed her palm, his eyes full of longing, his gaze fixed on her face.
“Is there something dirty on my face?” Ye Muyu blushed slightly under his gaze and could not help but ask in a low voice.
Chu Heng nodded as if he was serious. His eyes were full of smiles.
As he spoke, he reached out to wipe her face.
Ye Muyu obediently let him wipe it.
When Luo Qingxue followed Chu Hongmei, she saw this scene.
Chu Hongmei’s expression changed instantly and she cursed in her heart, ‘This b*tch, she actually seduced Chu Heng in public. She’s too shameless.’
Luo Qingxue’s eyes darkened, looking at the two of them meaningfully.
She bowed very sensibly. “Third Aunt, Cousin Heng, Cousin-in-law Heng.”
Ye Muyu saw her and quickly grabbed Chu Heng’s hand.
Chu Heng saw her red ears and bright eyes. His gaze deepened as he grabbed her hand and refused to let her go. The two of them leaned against each other. Others could not see their hands, but their posture was very intimate, making Ye Muyu blush.
Madam Liu coughed lightly. She felt helpless about her son’s anxious behavior in front of outsiders.
Chu Heng had never liked Ah Yu that much in the past. It had only been a short time, and they were already stuck together.
Madam Liu smiled and shook her head. She looked at Luo Qingxue, “Qingxue, things are inconvenient in the village. You can only get used to it.”
Luo Qingxue smiled very gently and said, “Third Aunt, your words are too much for Qingxue. Cousin Heng passed the high scholar exam, which means that this place is blessed. I’m lucky to be here, so please don’t mind.”
“That’s good.” Madam Liu nodded with satisfaction.
“Third Aunt, I haven’t seen Cousin Heng for many years. Does Cousin Heng have time to talk to Qingxue?” Luo Qingxue laughed softly, her eyes occasionally falling on Chu Heng.
Ye Muyu sighed in her heart. It was another one of his admirers.
She was a little angry and pinched his palm hard.
However, the man grabbed her fingers and spun them around her palm.
The slight itch made Ye Muyu’s ears turn red.
“I don’t have time.” Chu Heng coldly refused.
Luo Qingxue clenched her fists tightly, her eyes showing a touch of embarrassment.
