Chapter 344: Not a Bad Thought

Madam Fang hesitated for a moment but did not say anything.
She pulled Madam Xu and entered the central room with Ye Muyu.
Although Ye Muyu did not have a good impression of Madam Xu, she was still polite and asked Madam Hu to serve tea.
Chu Heng handed a bookcase to Lu Chuan and told him to bring it into the study.
Worried, he entered the central room.
Seeing Chu Heng come in, Madam Xu’s body involuntarily trembled, while Madam Fang felt somewhat uncomfortable.
However, she thought that her purpose for coming here today was to apologize to Chu Heng.
With him around, it would be more convenient.
Madam Fang nudged Madam Xu. It was not a big move, but it was enough to remind her.
There was no smile on Madam Xu’s face. She ignored Ye Muyu and looked at Chu Heng. “Scholar Chu, I was wrong to speak without thinking. You don’t have to argue with a woman like me. I won’t make you lose face.”
“I don’t think you’re thinking before you speak,” Chu Heng said indifferently, pouring himself a cup of tea and slowly drinking it.
Madam Xu was angered by his words. Just as she was about to make a scene, she was grabbed by Madam Zhang.
Madam Zhang’s actions were a little too big.
Ye Muyu and Chu Heng could not ignore it.
“Mother, you must apologize sincerely.” Madam Fang did not care if she offended Madam Xu. At this moment, she had already scolded Madam Xu several times in her heart. She had already bent over to apologize. Who in the village did not see her coming?
No matter what she said now, in the eyes of outsiders, the Cao family had lowered their heads.
Since they had already been laughed at, why did they have to offend others again? If Chu Heng had not forgiven them this time, the clan would not be able to explain themselves. Could it be that they still wanted to make a big deal out of this matter?
It was something that could be resolved with an apology.
Thinking of this, Madam Fang began to suspect where Madam Xu’s shrewdness had gone. She was just being a fool now.
Chu Heng waited for a while.
Before Madam Xu could apologize…
“Madam Xu doesn’t seem to be here to apologize willingly,” he said calmly.
“Then you can go back.”
Madam Xu’s stiff old face flashed with a hint of success. She was an elder. How could an elder apologize to a junior?
She thought that Madam Fang, her daughter-in-law was the dumb one. As long as she did not speak, could Chu Heng force her to speak?
Little did she know that Madam Fang’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She quickly said, “Scholar Chu, Mother and I are here to apologize sincerely.”
“Lady Ye… I apologize to you on behalf of Mother.” Madam Fang raised her teacup and looked at Ye Muyu with a fawning look in her eyes. She suddenly remembered the rumor in the village that Chu Heng treated Madam Ye very well.
Presumably, as long as Madam Ye spoke up for them, today’s matter would be settled.
Madam Fang’s idea was right.
However, the prerequisite was that Ye Muyu would agree with her.
Ye Muyu did not intend to let it go. With Madam Xu’s personality, they might maliciously slander the Chu family or even Chu Heng in the village in the future.
She could not always look for the clan to settle things.
It was too troublesome.
“Sister-in-law Fang is too polite. Since this was done by Madam Xu, let Madam Xu apologize herself.”
“My husband and I don’t like to make things difficult for others. As long as Madam Xu is sincere, this matter will be over. You can also explain it to the clan, right?” Ye Muyu took a sip of tea.
She had a faint smile on her face and was gentle. Even though her tone was not domineering, the meaning behind her words was clear.
When Madam Xu heard Ye Muyu mention the clan, she felt a surge of anger in her heart, but she could not refute it..
