“Oh right, there’s something I need to tell you.” Madam Liu hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Muyu asked quietly.

“Actually, it’s like this. I wanted to talk to your eldest sister-in-law after I went back yesterday afternoon. But I found out that Qingxiang had scalded the back of her hand with hot water.” Madam Liu sighed.

Ye Muyu did not answer. She did not want to care about Chu Qingxiang at all.

Madam Liu also saw her attitude. She said softly,” Don’t worry. Madam Zhang and Qingxiang didn’t say anything about needing help. They just mentioned this matter. I think you should understand it so that you can at least know what it is.”

Ye Muyu thanked her for her kindness.

“I asked her what exactly happened,” Madam Liu continued.

“Qingxiang said that the day before yesterday, she was boiling water in the kitchen. Song Lu’s sister, Song Qing, knocked over the hot water when she passed by the earthen stove, and it just happened to drench the back of Qingxiang’s hand and body.”

“Not only was the back of her hand burned, but her thigh was also burned.”

“In addition, Song Lu wasn’t at home, and the Song family had a grudge against Qingxiang. They did not even invite a doctor for her. In the end, Qing Xiang took her dowry and went to find a doctor to get medicine.”

“But the burns are a little serious. Even if she sees a doctor, scarring will still form after she recovers.”

“Song Lu went back at night. He had an argument with his family and said he wanted to live separately.”

“However, they disagreed. There are still two elders in the Song family. Song Lu’s grandfather and grandmother are still alive. How can they live separately? Unless both elders have passed away.”

“I think Qingxiang seems to hate her sister-in-law, but there’s nothing to worry about. Qingxiang has been smart since she was young, and it’s not difficult for her to deal with the matter in the back residence. It’s just that she will definitely suffer this time.”

Ye Muyu was not surprised at all. The elders of the Song family had accepted the bracelet given by the third daughter of the Wang family. It was obvious that they did not take Chu Qingxiang, their future granddaughter-in-law, seriously.

In the end, the third daughter of the Wang family was gone, and Chu Qingxiang married over. Naturally, the relationship between the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law was more or less problematic.

She even suspected that Chu Qingxiang had been put in a difficult position after she married him, but it was not as serious as this time.

However, Ye Muyu did not intend to ask further. “It’s fine as long as she doesn’t regret it,” she said.

“Sigh, this child. She won’t listen anymore, so we might as well let her marry Song Lu. Her family has done their best for her. However, since Ah Heng has passed the imperial examination, she will more or less get some benefits. I’m afraid the Song family won’t dare to bully her in the future.”

“I’ve already told her that. I’ll let her understand that even if she marries into the Song family, her well-being is still related to her family.”

“I think she’s clear in her mind and has figured out her previous mistake. She originally said that she wanted to come over and apologize to you, but I stopped her.” Of course, Madam Liu did not want her family to have conflicts, so she deliberately told Ye Muyu about it.

Ye Muyu was quite satisfied. She did not get close to Chu Qingxiang at all and had a different attitude. When she heard Madam Liu reject Chu Qingxiang’s offer to apologize, she was a little surprised.

She had thought that her mother-in-law would want the family to be harmonious.

She did not expect Madam Liu to choose to respect her in the end.

Ye Muyu felt very comfortable. She said, “Mother, I understand what you mean. What Chu Qingxiang did has nothing to do with Big Brother. The relationship between my husband and Big Brother should be decided by the two of them. I won’t interfere.”

“Don’t worry, I know you know what’s good for you.” Madam Liu was not lying. However, seeing Ye Muyu’s serious tone, she was worried that Ye Muuyu would be dissatisfied.
