Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Qingxiang’s eyes were red as she looked up at Madam Liu with trembling eyes. “Grandma, it must be Third Miss who deliberately framed me.”

“Framed you?”

“Why would she frame you?”

“To her, you’re just a country girl who angered her. Why would she lie to me on purpose to deal with you?” Madam Liu’s expression was still indifferent, but Chu Zhiwen understood her. She was truly angry, or even disappointed.

He could not help but frown. Could it be that there was a secret in this matter that he did not know? Did Qingxiang really lie to them?

Chu Zhiwen looked at Chu Qingxiang with an inquisitive gaze.

After listening for a while, coupled with the reactions of both parties, Chu Lin finally understood.

“Madam Zhang, tell Mother honestly, what exactly happened.”

“Mother, I really don’t know.” Madam Zhang did not know why Madam Liu would say that. She felt extremely wronged.

“She’s so stupid. She was deceived. You don’t have to ask her.”

Chu Lin’s face also turned ugly. He scolded Madam Zhang and told her not to speak.

“Qingxiang, what happened?!” Chu Lin glared at her.

Chu Qingxiang knew that she could not hide it anymore. She could only lie on the ground and cry. “Grandma, I only said that even if she wanted to marry Song Lu, Song Lu wouldn’t agree to it. She had a divorce previously, and she has a bad temper. Song Lu isn’t a man who wants to rely on his wife’s family.”

“Since you’re still not being honest, then I’ll be direct. The original words that you said to the Third Miss were: since the Third Miss has money and status, why is Song Lu still unwilling to marry you? It can be seen that Song Lu cares about the Third Miss’ situation. You’re not a virgin and… Third Miss, why don’t you give up? Actually, my Third Uncle knows many young talents. Perhaps there are some who don’t mind Third Miss?”

Madam Liu used an extremely calm voice to narrate what Chu Qingxiang had said that day.

Madam Zhang and Chu Lin were both stunned. They stood rooted to the ground and looked at Chu Qingxiang with doubt in their eyes. Was this their daughter, who had always been sensible?

Why would she say such outrageous words?

Chu Qingxiang’s face instantly turned pale. She subconsciously wanted to defend herself. “Grandma, I was just too angry and spouted nonsense…”

“You know best whether it’s nonsense or not.”

“That day, your grandma asked you to see if there was any room for negotiation in this marriage. Did she ask you to mock the third daughter of the Wang family?” Chu Zhiwen also said angrily.

“I’m not talking about whether or not you did something wrong, but have you forgotten what happened to Wang Chuan and his son?”

“It was just the lackeys of the Wang family’s Third Young Master that caused them to have no choice but to sell their houses and move out of the county to the unfamiliar Lin County.”

“How did you get the guts to take the initiative to offend the Wang family’s Third Miss?!”

Chu Qingxiang’s face turned pale from the criticism, but her eyes were filled with unwillingness. She closed her eyes and only cried, not saying a word.

“Qingxiang, are you trying to borrow your Third Uncle’s power on purpose?” Madam Liu asked coldly.

“Did you think that your marriage was in trouble because your third uncle did not help you?”

“But, what have you helped your third uncle with? Why must your third uncle help you get what you want?”

Chu Qingxiang finally raised her head. She cried out unwillingly. “I just want to marry Song Lu. Besides, it was you and Mother who arranged this marriage for me in the first place.”

“I’ve worked so hard for this marriage. Why can any random person ruin the happiness that is within my reach?”

“Besides, when I marry Song Lu, it will be of help to Third Uncle. He won’t lose out.”

“No loss?” Madam Liu narrowed her eyes. “Why did your third uncle leave home early to take the examination? Do you really think that he was just going to take the examination?”
