As Madam Zhang was speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open. Qingxiang pushed the door open and came in from outside. Her eyes were red and she looked stubbornly at the elders. She did not bow and said in a stern voice, ‘Mother, I want to marry Song Lu. I won’t marry anyone else.”
“You child!” Madam Zhang was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to slap her, but she could not bear to. She could only hug her and pat her lightly, saying that her life was bitter.
“Alright, let’s see what Ah Heng has to say.” Madam Liu frowned as she looked at the mess in front of her.
Madam Liu had long expected Chu Qingxiang’s choice.
She did not exactly feel disappointed. It could only be said that it was the result of a rational analysis based on Qingxiang’s personality.
However, Qingxiang barged in so forcefully, which showed that her personality was too demanding. If she was like this toward everything, it might not be a good thing.
After all, she had not married over yet and could still be taught. Madam Liu could only think in the right direction.
“Have you ever wondered why the Song family’s attitude changed so drastically?” Chu Heng asked after everyone had quietened down. “Since Song Lu was the one who backed down before, is he not backing down now, or is there something else?”
“Aren’t they threatening us with Qingxiang’s reputation?” Madam Zhang was slightly startled. Even Chu Qingxiang felt the same way. Hearing Chu Heng’s words, she was slightly surprised.
Madam Liu frowned.
She had an ominous feeling.
Chu Heng crossed his index fingers and tapped them lightly. “Did anyone witness it?” he asked.
“Do me and Madam Huang count?” Madam Zhang was a little nervous. At this moment, she was full of regret for letting her daughter meet Song Lu alone. Because she was worried, she could not help but think too much. She did not know if the Song family had deliberately arranged a witness.
“Not really.”
“Do they have any physical evidence?” Chu Heng was very calm from the beginning to the end.
Madam Zhang was affected by him, and her somewhat flustered heart finally calmed down a little. She quickly tilted her head to look at Chu Qingxiang at the side.
“Qingxiang, you didn’t give Song Lu any personal items that he shouldn’t have, right?” Madam Zhang did not care that there were people around and directly asked. It could be seen that she was also anxious.
Chu Qingxiang’s voice was very soft. “No, we only said three sentences before we parted. He did give me a few pastries.”
“There’s no witness, and there’s no physical evidence. It won’t be effective to use the girl’s reputation. With your family background, it’s not impossible for you to arrange another marriage for Qingxiang.”
“Moreover, if it’s really for two taels of silver and the money for the banquet, it doesn’t seem to be in line with the Song family’s character.”
“I suggest that you go and ask what happened to the Song family recently before you consider other things.”
“At the very least, we have to understand why the Song family suddenly changed their mind. Only by knowing the root cause can we have a strategy to deal with it.”
“There’s still a month left, so there’s no hurry.”
After Chu Heng finished speaking, he stood up. Chu Cai, who was drinking tea halfway, also hurriedly put down his teacup. He choked and stood up.
“Father, Mother, I’ll go back first. Lil’ Jin still needs tutoring at home,” Chu Heng said.
Madam Liu also understood that Chu Heng’s words made sense. It was because they had been confused by the sudden visit of the Song family today that they had forgotten this crucial point.
After all, it was something that could not be rushed, and it would not delay Chu Heng’s studies.
Madam Liu nodded. “Then you should go back quickly. You need to go to the capital city for the examination. You have to deal with it properly.”
In other words, they could not affect Chu Heng’s studies..
