“Heng, don’t say such inauspicious words.” Chu Zhiwen also spoke up.

However, Chu An understood what he meant. He looked at Chu Heng, who had been very rational from the beginning to the end. He felt a little ashamed of himself. No wonder he had failed to become a scholar after taking the exam many times. His way of thinking was indeed not as open-minded.

“Father, Ah Heng is right. Although we all know that he can definitely pass, the situation from the first two times might happen a third time.” Although it was somewhat inauspicious, Chu An understood Chu Heng’s intentions. He was also willing to help the other party. In fact, in the end, if it was not for him saying this, would Chu Heng have allowed himself to be wronged today to end the Cao family’s matter?

He felt that it was unlikely. It was better for him to enlighten his father. At least he could save his face.

“If Ah Heng passes the high scholar examination, it’ll naturally be like what you said, Father. There will be times when the Cao family will regret it. Naturally, we won’t have any worries.” Although it was his maternal grandfather’s family, Chu An had never been close to them since he was young. It was also because he had seen through the nature of the Cao family when he was young.

He had long treated his uncle’s family, who only wanted to take advantage of his own family, as ordinary relatives who needed to interact with them.

Hence, Chu An remained calm from the beginning to the end. “But if he doesn’t pass, the first person to stand up and mock Ah Heng will be my aunt.”

“Father, you should know better than me what Eldest Aunt’s personality is like.”

Chu Yonghua’s face twitched and he frowned slightly. He did not like Madam Xu’s personality.

However, he was a man and a little chauvinistic. Even if he did not like Madam Xu, he had never thought of being calculative with women. Usually, he avoided Madam Xu as much as possible and basically did not interact with her.

It was just that in private, Madam Xu would take advantage of his wife from time to time. Although he knew about it, seeing that his wife did not say anything, he felt that it was just an ordinary interaction and did not care.

“Then Ah Heng, how do you plan to deal with this matter?” Chu Yonghua had a place in Chu Heng’s heart. Since he could not understand, he might as well ask directly.

“Uncle, your idea is not wrong, but you’ve left yourself with future troubles,” Chu Heng said.

“Since it’s trouble, we should get rid of this trouble. Why should we give the other party a chance to choose?”

“It doesn’t matter if I pass the high scholar examination or not. I want the Cao family to never dare to provoke the Chu family again. There’s nothing to discuss.” Chu Heng’s words were not polite at all, showing his indifference toward the Cao family.

“I heard that Madam Xu often comes to look for Eldest Aunt.” “Every time she comes over, she would take a lot of things away.”

“I wonder if Eldest Uncle has considered whether Madam Xu is taking a betrothal gift from the Chu family in advance?”

“Ah?” Chu Yonghua was a little stunned and did not even react. What did he mean by taking so many things from his wife?

Could it be that Madam Xu did not just come over to talk to his wife?

Chu Yonghua frowned and turned to look at Chu An.

Chu An nodded at his father. However, it was his mother’s maiden family who had done such a stupid thing. He was too embarrassed to say it in front of Madam Liu and the others. He knew that his mother cared about her face. Losing face in front of Madam Liu was worse than getting beaten up.

After all, she was his mother. Chu An wanted to protect her for once.

“Eldest Uncle, my meaning is very simple. Either Madam Xu will personally come to apologize and the Cao family will punish her according to the rules, or the Cao family will marry a daughter to the Chu family to repay the benefits that Madam Xu has taken from the Chu family over the years..”
