[Sixth Miss really believed it? What kind of perfect match is this? Someone must have misheard and made it all up.]
Shen Yu was disappointed, and the faint smile on her lips vanished. Her mother's denial of the match made in heaven must have been because she had found out that the young man destined for her was Liu Yu.
It seems that Mother still opposes the marriage alliance with the Duke's family.
Cuizhu grew anxious, only thinking of Chenyu's best interests and failing to grasp Madam Mu's thoughts. She quickly reminded her, "Madam, since Young Master Gu is unwilling to marry the young lady, why don't you seek a match made in heaven? It's what Master Suiyuan mentioned..."
Madam Mu flew into a rage, slamming her hand on the table and shouting, "How dare you! How dare you speak so recklessly about the master's affairs! Slap yourself!"
Cuizhu hurriedly knelt down, but Rong Momo stepped in front of her and slapped her across the face.
Chen Yu was terrified and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy. Cui Wei followed suit and knelt down. Gu Xiaoliu was so frightened that she stood up and stood aside.
"Mother, please spare Cuizhu, Yu'er begs you..."
Madam Mu has always been kind and lenient with her servants, and has never punished Cuizhu. Just now, she heard that the Gu family was unwilling to form a marriage alliance with the Mu family.

Shen Yu had contact with Liu Yu repeatedly, at the Zuo family's residence, the small courtyard in the south of the city, the Duke's mansion, the Grand Tutor's mansion... Madam Mu would never believe that Shen Yu had no feelings for Liu Yu.
Even if the Gu family is unwilling to form a marriage alliance with the Mu family, it cannot be the Duke's mansion. They can only try to appease the situation and let it pass. Slapping Cuizhu is a way of making an example of her, to shut everyone in the mansion up.
"Don't stop! Keep hitting! You think you're so great just because the girl dotes on you? What kind of match is this? You can't just make up stories about a girl's marriage..."
Chen Yu was utterly devastated. She clutched at Madam Mu's robes and pleaded, "Mother, please spare Cui Zhu. I will obey your orders..."
Just then, the plump nanny rushed in to report, "Madam, Imperial Physician Wen has come to visit with people from the Duke's mansion. Master invites you and Miss to the hall."
