Qiao Wanyue stood at the door, craning her neck to watch the commotion inside.
"Qiao Wanyue".
Qiao Shanshan, with her sharp eyes, spotted Qiao Wanyue sneaking around the doorway at a glance.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked towards the door.
Qiao Wanyue: I was careless...
She patted off non-existent dirt from her body and timidly entered the courtyard. The people from the Lu family who came were Lu's mother, Lu's eldest brother, and his wife.
Before she even stepped into the courtyard, she heard Qiao's mother say something.
"Mother-in-law, I'm so sorry. I only found out yesterday that Wanyue changed Shanshan's household registration to her own. She wanted to climb the social ladder by marrying into your Yunzhou family, but now that the two children are already married..."
"Let's just go with the flow..."
Snap
Lu's mother slapped Liang Xiu hard across the face, turning her face to the side, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She spat out a mouthful of blood, along with two large teeth.
Lu Mu's chest was throbbing.
She raised her finger, gritting her teeth, "Liang Xiu, you said your youngest daughter graduated from high school, was gentle, and that if she married into my family, Yunzhou would definitely be obedient and manage the household affairs. I wrote to Yunzhou informing him that he entrusted me with the decision of his marriage. I believed your lies!"
Now that your youngest daughter has registered her marriage with the Yang family, you're telling me that your eldest daughter is trying to climb the social ladder by marrying into my family's Yunzhou, hoping to enjoy a life of luxury, and that she used underhanded tactics to arrange a marriage.
"Liang Xiu, you're kidding me."
She narrowed her eyes. "Which of your statements is correct?"
Liang Xiu said, "Wanyue, look what you've done! Come here and kneel down to beg your future mother-in-law for forgiveness."
Qiao Wanyue looked at her with a half-smile.
What a brilliant example of turning a mistake into an opportunity.
Qiao Wanyue looked at Liang Xiu with a half-smile.
Feeling guilty under her gaze, Liang Xiu disregarded her missing tooth. If she didn't handle this matter promptly, how could she, Liang Xiu, live in the Qiao family brigade afterward? She went over and pinched Qiao Wanyue's ear. "Wanyue, Mom can't help you anymore. You liked Yunzhou, you should have told Mom earlier. Mom isn't biased, I would have definitely persuaded your future mother-in-law to accept you. How could you do something like this, deceiving your superiors and hiding things from your family?"
Your sister had no choice but to marry into the Yang family in your place. My original plan was to force you to go to the Lu family to apologize after the wedding, but now that things can't be kept secret any longer, you'll have to explain things to your future mother-in-law yourself.
Liang Xiu pushed Qiao Wanyue in front of Lu's mother.
Looking at the little girl in front of her, Lu's mother saw her bright eyes and remained calm and composed. Even though Liang Xiu had placed all the blame on her, she stood there neither humble nor arrogant.
She's a good girl, though.
Although she didn't attend high school, Lu's mother didn't care about that. What she valued was her child's character. Qiao Shanshan dared to break her promise before marriage, and she would never want a woman like that.
She looked closely at the girl in front of her, and the more she looked at her dark eyes, the more she liked her.
But Lu's mother did not forget the purpose of her visit today.
"Liang Xiu, don't try to fool me with a scapegoat. Your youngest daughter is spreading rumors about my son's sacrifice; she doesn't want to be a widow."
"Did you know about this?" Lu's mother covered her face with a gloomy expression, suppressing the anger in her chest.
Liang Xiu was stunned.
She really does know.
Shanshan had a dream in which Lu Yunzhou died on the battlefield, and she became a widow. The Lu family bullied her, leaving her all alone. Lu's mother even tried to seize Lu Yunzhou's allowance, falsely accusing her of sleeping with a man and sending her to prison.
She squatted by the fence for eighteen years.
Upon hearing this, Liang Xiu trembled. Although she was not superstitious, she preferred to believe it rather than not. Lu Yunzhou's job was dangerous, and Shanshan's dream might actually be true, so she tacitly approved of Shanshan's marriage to Yang Huaiyuan.
Although it was a good deal for Qiao Wanyue, the thought of her being the one who would end up with a lover and be stuck in a rut made her feel much better.
But it's one thing for them to talk about Shanshan's dream in private; if they bring it up in public, the Qiao family will always be in the wrong.
