The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2676: Chapter 7: Marrying Xiaoyu

Mu Shuang’s mother, Ms. Fan, asked, "How is this related to Rongqing? Could it be that Rongqing caused some trouble?"

Hearing this, Mu Shuang shrank her neck, thinking how sharp her mother’s instincts were.

"Maybe," Mu Shuang responded vaguely, "I heard the servants talking about some Xiaoyu."

"Xiaoyu, who is this again?"

Mu Shuang waved her hand, "I don’t know, I didn’t ask. Who knows who, anyway?" she said with a yawn, "Mother, Aunt, I’ll return to my courtyard first. I woke up too early this morning and haven’t had enough sleep."

Dongyang noticed the dark circles under her eyes and nodded, "Then go ahead. Let the maid serve you some ginseng soup before you sleep."

"Ah, thank you, Aunt," Mu Shuang curtsied and said, "Mother, Cousin-in-law, I’ll take my leave."

Qi Yunqiao watched her leaving back with a thoughtful look.

Resting her chin on her hand, she thought to herself, there’s something off about this little sister-in-law.

The way she spoke and her gait seemed unusual.

Her eyes were quite sharp and had never deceived her before.

"What are you looking at? Why are you staring so intently?" Dongyang patted her.

Qi Yunqiao came back to her senses, recalling the earlier matter, and after a moment said, "Mother, I’ll go and have someone find out what made my third aunt so angry. If it’s serious, I’ll try to calm things down."

After speaking, she hurriedly left.

"Hey, this child!"

Ms. Fan laughed, "Like a child who hasn’t grown up."

"Indeed, going to the relatives’ home just to watch the drama." Dongyang shook her head helplessly.

Ms. Fan said, "Once she has children, she will be better."

Inside Prince An’s Mansion, the atmosphere was very tense. Servants moved quickly, not daring to make a sound.

Because two days ago, all the people in the guest courtyard were driven out, and they were afraid they would be next.

In Bamboo Courtyard, Yang Chuxia’s face was severely gloomy.

"Madam, that Xiaoyu is threatening to kill herself again."

"Hmph, if she wants to die, let her die. If she makes a fuss, no one should stop her," Yang Chuxia sneered coldly. "A bunch of useless people, not a single one saw it. They were supposed to look after the guest courtyard, but couldn’t even do their job well."

She still wanted to use the truth to slap that girl’s face. Now, it seemed she was slapping her own face instead.

Qingqing said there was indeed a girl at that time. Xiaoyu was inside the room when she woke up in the morning, so that girl must be Xiaoyu.

"Madam, why bother with the details of the matter?" Ming Lan suggested, "We just need to focus on the outcome we want."

"You just need to decide whether to keep Xiaoyu in the mansion or if you want her to become our third lady," she paused and added, "The third young master said he is willing to marry Xiaoyu, but it’s just a sense of responsibility as a man. As a mother, from the perspective of protecting your son, whatever you do is justified."

"This Xiaoyu is clearly a troublemaker and must not be kept, so it doesn’t matter whether she lives or dies, just find an excuse to drive her out," Ming Lan whispered. "It’s often said that noble families bully others. Our Ye Family, for so many years, has never done such a thing. But to maintain the peace of the household today, there’s no harm in bullying just this once. Forcefully drive her out; would she really dare to come back? Even if she does, a stick can chase her away. Whatever happens in our mansion, isn’t it all under our control whether it’s true or false?"

"You’re right, I was thinking too much." Yang Chuxia nodded. "That little bastard really pisses me off. I don’t know what’s wrong with him, coming to me first thing in the morning saying he wants to marry Xiaoyu again."
