Thus, Chu An’s wife sat at the main table, and Madam Liu’s arrangement was considered appropriate.

“Sister-in-law, don’t stand on ceremony. You’ve been busy for so long and are already hungry,” Madam Liu said with a smile.

The others only greeted him politely before starting to eat.

Old Madam Ye whispered to Ye Muyu.

“Daughter, are you okay?” Old Woman Ye asked hesitantly.

Ye Muyu had just picked up a piece of meat for her and looked at her in confusion. “Mother, what’s wrong?”

“You don’t know?” Old Woman Ye was stunned for a moment.

Seeing her reaction, Ye Muyu asked, “Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

At this moment, it was noisy all around. Everyone at the table was talking to each other. Madam Liu had received Chu Heng’s instructions and would naturally take good care of the guests, so she spoke enthusiastically.

Therefore, although the others saw Ye Muyu whispering to Old Madam Ye, no one listened. After all, it was rare for the mother and daughter to meet. It would be strange if they did not talk when they had the chance.

Only Madam Cao was somewhat absent-minded, her gaze occasionally glancing at the table next to her.

“Didn’t you go to the ancestral hall of the Chu family just now?”

“I followed behind to join in the fun. Just as I was feeling happy, I heard someone behind me say that my son-in-law had told the clan that he wanted to divorce.”

“I instinctively wanted to scold the person who was spouting nonsense, but when I turned around, I could not find who it was. However, I remembered what you told me before. I couldn’t scold anyone casually, so I held back. Besides, I’m not stupid. This is your good day. If I make a scene, it won’t be good for you.”

Ye Muyu suddenly felt an unknown fire in her heart. It was fine that Madam Cao had deliberately schemed against her before, but now that her plan had failed, she was using Old Woman Ye?

It seemed that there was someone behind Madam Cao. Once they found this person, they would know the reason why the other party did this.

Ye Muyu calmed herself down and looked at Old Madam Ye. “Mother, it’s only right that you didn’t cause a ruckus. I guess the person who said that was jealous. If Chu Heng wanted to separate from me, why would he do this today?”

“Those people are jealous, so they want you to cause a ruckus and ruin today’s matter.” Ye Muyu did not plan to tell Old Woman Ye too much. After all, there were too many people here, and she had not figured out what was going on.

“As expected, they have ill intentions.” Old Madam Ye was instantly furious, but she was reminded of what had just happened. She restrained her temper and asked Ye Muyu, “Daughter, what do you think we should do?”

“Mother, let me figure out what’s going on first,” Ye Muyu said.

“Alright.” Old Woman Ye turned her grief and indignation into appetite and ate a lot of meat. Ye Muyu was worried that her stomach would not be able to take it, so she kept pouring tea for her.

Thus, after a while, Old Madam Ye could not stand it and got up to go to the toilet.

Cao Shi also left.

Ye Muyu took a look and noticed that she had gone to see her family. Ye Muyu found Nenya who was taking care of Ziluo and whispered to her before sitting down at the table and continuing to eat.

Ye Muyu only stood up after everyone else had left the table.

Madam Liu invited everyone to the guest room for tea, including Chu Yun.

When Chu Yun saw Ye Muyu, he looked her up and down for a while. In the end, he snorted coldly and followed Madam Liu into the house.

Ye Muyu did not follow him in. She found an excuse and went back to the east wing.

Nenya was already waiting inside.

“How is it?” Ye Muyu asked.

“Madam, I followed the clan leader’s wife and saw her meeting with the Cao family’s Eldest Madam. I didn’t hear their private conversation clearly. I only heard the Cao family’s daughter, Cao Juan, making a fuss about Madam Cao. She asked if Madam Cao was lying and why she didn’t react..”
