The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2687: Chapter 18: A Blessing in Disguise

"Yun Qiao, no matter what, we must thank you for this matter," Yang Chuxia said, "Rest assured, we will handle this appropriately and will not let Miss Shuang suffer any grievances."

"Then I am relieved, farewell!"

As she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and said, "Third Uncle, jade needs to be carved to become a fine vessel. You must not be lenient in disciplining the youngest just because of your indulgence."

"This child..." Ye Zi’an looked helplessly at Ye Rongqing, "This is all your doing."

"Father, I know I was wrong."

Ye Rongqing shrank his head; he didn’t notice the fleeting joy in his heart upon knowing that the young lady was Mu Shuang.

"Mother, what should we do about this?" Ye Haoxuan said, "This needs to be handled quickly, the sooner the better. The longer it drags on, the angrier the Mu Family will become when they find out."

Yang Chuxia frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Send someone to invite Abbess Qingning, and say I have become cautious because of this issue with the jade, fearing similar matters might ruin Qingqing’s future. Ask her to divine the marriage for Qingqing."

Ye Haoxuan realized what his mother intended to do.

"Mother, this is an excellent idea. Abbess Qingning is not someone that just anyone can invite," Ye Haoxuan said with a smile, "Her marriage divinations are accurate. With her reading, proposing to the Mu Family wouldn’t seem abrupt. It’s best to hint that both families had this intention for a long time, and now it is just right."

"Mother still has a way with handling matters."

With no sordid affairs remaining, Yang Chuxia felt much better, "Stop flattering me. Almost being deceived by a maid, this incident is a blemish in my life."

"Now that Yun Qiao has come, the Mu Family won’t be kept in the dark for long. However, we must wait for Abbess Qingning to finish her reading before we proceed, or going there at this time will arouse suspicion. As for your wives, don’t mention this matter, just believe it truly was Abbess Qingning’s reading of a good match."

In the morning, Xiao Yu’s family came over, and to avoid any awkwardness, Mu Huaen and Li Luru did not come.

"Understood!"

"Mm!"

Ye Haoyang thought for a moment and asked, "Qingqing, that night, which young lady first helped you? Do you really not remember at all?"

Ye Rongqing thought hard but still couldn’t recall, "No impression, I was in a daze, I even thought it was a maid from the residence."

"This needs to be investigated. Fortunately, Mu Shuang saw it; otherwise, it would be even more chaotic now. A Xiao Yu, though troublesome, can still be dismissed, but if it were someone else’s young lady, you’d definitely have to marry her."

Ye Haoxuan said, "Check the guests who came and see who brought their daughters, and examine them one by one." After a moment’s thought, he added, "It might be better that it’s Mu Shuang, as we are familiar with her temperament. A bad situation has turned into a good one."

After settling matters, the family went about their respective businesses.

Ye Rongqing was in a daze, Mu Shuang’s face flickering in his mind.

He wanted to do something for Mu Shuang, but he didn’t dare act rashly at this moment, fearing it would disrupt the family’s arrangements and complicate matters further. This made him feel deeply frustrated, as if he was the most useless one in the family.

Meanwhile, after Qi Yunqiao returned home, she first went to see Dongyang, then returned to her own courtyard.

With the matter resolved, she seemed even happier than in the morning.
