Chapter 851: I Guessed It

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Daughter, are you done?” Old Madam Ye probed and looked at her face.

“I’m fine.” Ye Muyu shook her head lightly.

The air outside was cold. Her face was not as hot as before when she walked out.

Old Madam Ye saw that she was expressionless and was relieved. She pulled Ye Muyu to the corner. Her eyes were full of curiosity. “My daughter, let me ask you something.”

“What?” Ye Muyu looked at her mother’s mysterious movements and subconsciously thought that something had happened.

“Is Song Qing’s matter related to the Chu family?” Old Madam Ye asked.

“Mother, why are you asking this?” Ye Muyu did not intend to tell her family about this. After all, things were yet to be confirmed. If it were spread from her family, it would be a bit of a loss to the Ye family. She should not do such a stupid thing that offended others.

“Just tell me, isn’t that right? I’m telling you, I’ve already noticed that Song Qing and her sister-in-law aren’t on good terms. Isn’t Chu Qingxiang from the Chu family?”

“Every time I meet the two people outside, they are either at loggerheads or mocking each other. They quarrel more fiercely than outsiders.”

“By the way, I also heard that Song Qing found an excuse to burn Chu Qingxiang. After that, she didn’t let Chu Qingxiang go to the county and accompany Song Lu while he studied. You know, Song Lu is already a scholar and he’s studying in the county school. There’s no one to take care of him usually. Besides, he has to carry on the family line. If this woman doesn’t have any children and Song Lu really becomes successful in the future, he’ll have to marry other girls.”

“I knew the two of them were going to fight, but Song Qing got into trouble not long after.”

“If you ask me, Song Qing is also crazy. Back then, the Song family followed the Wang family. After Landlord Wang died so tragically, they still didn’t accept it. Chu Qingxiang started making a fuss the moment she married into the family. I don’t know what she’s up to.”

“However, Chu Qingxiang isn’t a good person. Since the two started arguing, things ended up like this.”

Ye Muyu looked at her mother’s confident tone. She did not even need to say anything to her for her to guess more than half of it.

“Mother, more or less. It’s just that we don’t have any evidence to prove it. Don’t tell anyone else. The other people in the Chu family aren’t like that either. Those unmarried girls are innocent.” Ye Muyu reminded worriedly.

Old Madam Ye clapped her hands. “Hey, your mother isn’t stupid. I definitely won’t tell anyone. Besides, my Ziluo is a good child. We can’t let these bad people affect her reputation.”

Seeing that his mother understood her meaning, Ye Muyu was relieved.

“Mother, my husband and I are going to take a look at the Lu estate. If you have nothing to do, you can follow us to the estate for a stroll.”

“Sure, I’ll go take a look. If there’s someone who’s lazing around, I’ll help you keep an eye on them., Old Woman Ye said with a smile.

When the mother and daughter returned to the central room, they talked about going to the Lu estate.

“Sis, what can I do to help?” Ye Zhao quickly asked.

“You can do your own thing. I’ll just go take a look. It should be fine.”

“Then I’ll go too.” Ye Dejiang was bored and wanted to see a landlord’s estate. He had never seen it before.

Su Yan had to stay at home to take care of the child, so she did not go out.

The group got on the carriage and walked about ten miles out of the village before they arrived.

After getting out of the carriage, they saw a courtyard with white walls.

Han Zhuang jumped off the carriage and knocked on the door.

After knocking for a while, an old man in coarse clothes came to open the door.
