Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

“Qing’er, what did you say?” Madam Huang stood up in shock.

“Did Chu Qingxiang harm you?”

The village chief was also shocked and wanted to cover his ears. If this news was true, one could imagine how big a matter it was.

Ye Muyu’s pupils constricted. She suddenly understood where Song Qing’s confidence came from.

If this matter were really done by Chu Qingxiang, the Chu family would not be able to ignore it unless the reputation of the other girls in the clan was also disregarded.

As such, Chu Heng had no choice but to agree to her conditions.

It was her again!

Ye Muyu was already a little angry, but she did not show it on her face. She even picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly. “Miss Song, do you have any evidence?”

“Yes. I snatched this handkerchief when someone covered my mouth,” Song Qing seemed to have expected her to ask this question.

“If you buy the two types of medicine on it, there must be traces. I’ve already asked my younger brother to tell my eldest brother the news and ask him to investigate. Chu Qingxiang rarely goes out, and it’s difficult for her to go to the county alone, so she must have found a doctor to buy medicine.”

“Since you’ve already asked Song Lu to investigate this matter, we’ll talk about it after you’ve investigated it thoroughly.” Ye Muyu felt that Song Qing was not a kind person, and Chu Qingxiang was also strong and ruthless. She was not surprised that something like this would happen when the two of them met.

However, evidence was needed for crimes.

“That’s right.” The village chief quickly nodded. “This is your one-sided statement. It can’t be used as evidence.”

“Alright, as long as you promise me that you won’t side with Chu Qingxiang with the evidence in front of you, I won’t make a scene.” Song Qing stated her request.

Ye Muyu knew that she must have wanted some benefits. However, if it was really Chu Qingxiang who did it, it would not be good to spread it.

“I can agree, but if it’s slander, you have to accept it.” Ye Muyu reminded her.

Song Qing said hatefully, “I saw what she did with my own eyes. How could it be slander? Don’t worry. As long as High Scholar Chu is fair and just, it’s fine. Don’t be biased.”

“It’s not your place to question my husband’s actions. If you don’t believe in his character, you wouldn’t be saying this to me.”

“As for your hatred, you should hate whoever harmed you. I believe you are a smart person,” Ye Muyu said a few words and did not say anything else.

The fight between Chu Qingxiang and Song Qing was inevitable, but Chu Heng should not bear the consequences. Otherwise, with so many clansmen, it would be impossible to clean up the mess.

The only way was to have strict family rules so that the clansmen would not dare to bully others. Of course, if their own family members were bullied, it was necessary to support them.

When Song Qing heard this, her cold smile faded. No matter how arrogant she was, she was still a young lady. She knew that Chu Heng and his wife were not to be trifled with. She knew how the Wang family had been taken care of.

“Sure.” She lowered her head.

“Mother, let’s go back.”

Madam Huang was so shocked by this news that she did not know what to say. She only kept crying. Her daughter-in-law had harmed her daughter. How could she not be sad?

After the two of them left, the village chief hurriedly promised, “Mrs. Chu, about that, I will definitely not spread the news of what happened today. However, I will definitely come up with something to tell the villagers so that they won’t be too curious and guess what happened.”

“Since it’s the Song family’s matter, let them handle it themselves,” Ye Muyu said.

When the village chief heard this, he nodded. This was a good reason. It was their private matter, so it was fine if he did not say anything.

After Song Qing and Madam Huang left, and the other villagers were chased away by the village chief, the entire Ye family fell silent.
