Free Web NovelChapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Our Whole Family Agrees
Xiao Shuang took a hit and cried out, falling to the ground.
Madam Chu was startled and quickly had the maids pull the sisters apart.
"Alright! Alright! Let’s just drop this matter. If you have any thoughts in the future, if you don’t like something, just tell me directly."
"Xiao Shuang was just speaking for you, stop hitting."
Xiao Shuang covered her mouth, crying and sobbing.
She said, "I didn’t mean to say it, my mouth spoke on its own!"
Second Madam Chu’s face twisted in anger: "You’re still babbling nonsense here. No breakfast for you, go back to your room and reflect on your actions!"
Xiao Shuang, crying and whimpering, was helped away by the maid.
Second Madam Chu’s chest heaved as she clutched her forehead, slapping her thigh in grievance: "What kind of sister-in-law am I? I’ve been so good to her, yet she stabs me in the back."
Madam Chu didn’t have the mind to comfort her at this moment.
She only gave a dry laugh: "Let’s eat."
Lord Chu unhappily glanced at Second Madam Chu, and if his own wife hadn’t held him back, he would have surely scolded this sister-in-law.
It’s always said that the elder sister-in-law is like a mother, yet she shows not a bit of respect for his wife, which makes him angry!
Currently in the Chu Family, Lord Chu holds the highest official position, with his younger brother, Second Old Master Chu, working under him.
Therefore, Second Madam Chu frequently checked Lord Chu’s expression, afraid he would be displeased.
Meanwhile, Xiao Shuang, sobbing and sniffling, made her way through the garden towards her own courtyard.
The maid, puzzled, said: "Cousin Miss, you were wrong to say those things today." freēwēbnovel.com
"Usually, whatever you discuss privately with Second Madam is fine, but how could you speak like that in front of Madam and the Master?"
Xiao Shuang wished she could slap herself.
She stomped her foot in frustration: "How was I supposed to know?! I told you, it wasn’t me speaking, my mouth was out of control, insisting on speaking!"
The maid, having served Second Madam for a long time, considered Xiao Shuang one of her own.
But hearing Xiao Shuang’s words, the maid looked at her as if she were sizing up a fool.
Had it not been apparent before that the Cousin Miss might not be very bright?
The more Xiao Shuang thought, the angrier she became. Why was she acting so strangely today?
While she was crying in sorrow, Chu Ping approached her.
"What’s wrong, Sister Xiao Shuang?" Chu Ping, who had night duty today, was about to head to the palace to escort Qingmei for some sightseeing.
Xiao Shuang, brought by his aunt, was treated like a sister by him.
Seeing her cry, he couldn’t resist asking.
Xiao Shuang lifted her tear-filled eyes, about to say it was nothing, but unexpectedly, her mouth spoke other words!
"Brother Chu Ping, how dare you ask, it’s all your mother’s fault."
Chu Ping’s face immediately turned cold: "What?"
The maid was shocked and quickly said: "Young Master, the Cousin Miss is ill and just now spoke nonsense, upsetting Second Madam. Let me help her back to her room first."
However, Chu Ping was unwilling: "Stop right there! Speak clearly, what happened, why blame my mother?"
Xiao Shuang, unable to control herself, said: "Your mother agreed to let a palace Servant marry into your family as the Young Madam."
The maid was stunned, struggling to cover Xiao Shuang’s mouth in time.
Chu Ping’s eyes instantly turned icy cold!
"Xu Xiaoshuang, Xiao Mei is marrying into my family, with my consent and my parents’ approval. Who are you to criticize here?"
"My mother agreed because she is open-minded, what’s it got to do with you? You’re staying in our home as a guest of my mother’s hospitality, not a reason for you to cause trouble!"
Xiao Shuang bit her tongue, but still, her mouth continued to blurt out her previously hidden thoughts.
"Why marry a palace Servant and not me? In what way am I inferior to her?"
