Chapter 643: Speak Bluntly
After informing Chu Lin, she took a basket of pecans from home and called Chu Cai and his wife to go to the old residence to get some cloth.
After leaving Chu Cai’s house, Madam Zhang gritted her teeth and went straight to Chu Heng’s house.
“Madam, Madam Zhang is here.”
When Madam Zhang arrived, Ye Muyu was in the study, planning the planting of trees and raising chickens and ducks. Chu Jin was doing his homework while Chu Ziluo was reading.
“Sister-in-law, why are you here?” Ye Muyu put down her pen and looked up at Madam Zhang who had just entered the study.
Madam Zhang was still a little embarrassed and felt that she was too ashamed to face Ye Muyu. She had just found out that the Wang family was not letting her go. It was her daughter’s words that offended Third Miss Wang.
With Maddam Liu’s words, she could not use the excuse of the Wang family’s Third Miss being stingy.
Sometimes, although the truth was hard to accept, it could not change the truth.
“Lil’ Jin and Ziluo are reading a book?”
“These are the pecans that my maiden family sent over. I dried them and peeled them all. I heard that the rich families in the county use pecans to make some dishes. It’s good for scholars to eat them.” Madam Zhang smiled fawningly.
Ye Muyu looked at her in surprise. “Why are you suddenly sending pecans?”
She already had some guesses in her heart.
“I… I…” Madam Zhang pinched her sleeves, she was so nervous that her face turned red and she did not know what to say.
“Let’s talk in the central room.” Ye Muyu looked at Madam Zhang and said.
Madam Zhang quickly nodded. The two children in the room looked over curiously, and she was even more embarrassed to speak.
When they arrived at the central room, Madam Hu had just prepared tea and poured it for Madam Zhang before leaving.
Ye Muyu took a sip of tea. “Sister-in-law, you can speak now. There are only the two of us here. No one will disturb you.”
“I… I’m sorry.” Madam Zhang closed her eyes and finally said what was in her heart.
“Are you apologizing on your own or on behalf of Qingxiang?” Ye Muyu asked.
“I’m… I’m apologizing for myself. I didn’t manage Qingxiang well. I… I wanted to bring her here to apologize, but I was afraid that you would be angry…”
Madam Zhang did not have the confidence to say that. She was really guilty. What she was wearing was either given by Chu Heng or bought with the money from selling pickled cabbages. She and her husband farmed, plus the money earned from the rent collected by the county shop, it was not even as much as selling pickled cabbages.
“If you apologize to me, I’ll accept it.” Ye Muyu could understand how Madam Zhang loved her daughter. She did not look like she knew anything. In fact, she had suspected it from the beginning, but she did not have the chance to prove it.
Ye Muyu also knew what Madam Liu knew about it.
Unexpectedly, Madam Zhang actually came over at this moment.
According to her understanding of Madam Liu, she should have already spoken to them after she returned home.
Madam Zhang still took the initiative to apologize, which was quite sincere.
“About Qingxiang… Third Sister-in-law, are you angry with Qing Xiang?” Madam Zhang opened her mouth, struggling to find a way to explain this matter.
“Sister-in-law, what do you think?” Ye Muyu looked up and stared at her. “Lil’ Jin was almost taken away by the Wang family. I protected him with all my might. If I didn’t prepare in advance, I don’t think he would have come back.”
“This is a human life. I don’t blame you for doting on your daughter. I don’t expect you to think that Lilt Jin and my life is more important than your daughter’s, but in my heart, my children are my life.”
“I will protect these two lives even if I have to offend everyone, Sister-in-law,” Ye Muyu’s eyes were filled with a rare sense of dominance. “If Qingxiang tries to harm my family again, I won’t let her off easily..”
