Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Muyu’s body trembled slightly. When she suddenly heard this, her breathing stopped instinctively. Her fingers dug into her palm without realizing it.
“Is that so?” Ye Muyu asked.
She knew that Chu Heng might hate the original Madam Ye, but she did not expect him to have the intention to break up with her.
She frowned slightly. She knew that it was something that had happened before. It was Chu Heng’s thoughts about the original host. However, she was his wife who had been married to him for eight years and had children. Could Chu Heng really divorce her just like that? Did he really not have any feelings for her at all?
In this case, why did he treat her kindly? Was it a final compensation or for something else?
Ye Muyu knew that she was not happy in her heart, but she instinctively rejected this kind of inexplicable emotion and quickly regained her composure.
Seeing her reaction, Mrs. Cao raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Looks like Ah Heng didn’t tell you, but that’s normal. He probably changed his mind. You don’t have to overthink.”
Ye Muyu was calm and did not react to Madam Cao’s words.
If she were to say that she had previously doubted why Madam Cao would say this news now…
She instantly understood Madam Cao’s plan when she saw the disappointment in the other party’s eyes. Madam Cao wanted her to know about this and cause a ruckus.
According to Madam Ye’s previous personality, she would definitely cause a ruckus.
However, it was the time to worship the ancestors. Other than New Year’s Eve and the Qingming Festival every year, the ancestral hall would not be opened unless it was a major event.
If it was not for the fact that Chu Heng was the only Elementary Scholar in the clan, his status was high, and he had given the clan benefits, this matter would not have been so easy to achieve.
If she were to make a fuss now, the result would be very simple. As long as a few clansmen opposed her, and she had done something wrong first, even if
Chu Heng defended her, her name would not be added today.
This honor would naturally be gone.
Ye Muyu thought to herself.
However, the other party’s rank was not high, and she was only throwing out a
big piece of news for the sake of her face. she did not say anything else, which made Ye Muyu feel relieved.
She was not afraid of someone who did not like her. She was afraid that the enemy not only did not like her but was also very smart. That would be difficult.
Ye Muyu did not say anything after that.
Seeing her calm and composed, Madam Cao was anxious, but her identity made her not dare to say anything more.
In the end, she watched as Ye Muyu entered the ancestral hall, offered incense, kowtowed, and wrote her name and surname on the genealogy. Everything was settled.
Madam Cao could only watch helplessly.
Ye Muyu left the ancestral hall.
She received envious looks from a group of Madams and unmarried girls.
In the past, these people were envious of her identity as a scholar’s wife. Now, they were envious that she could marry a suitable husband and that their hearts were connected.
Ye Muyu did not guess it, but he heard it from the women in the crowd. She was also surprised. She thought that only modern people pursued love. She did not expect the ancient women to be the same, but they were just more reserved.
Back home…
The banquet continued and the dishes were served. The atmosphere instantly became extremely lively.
Since they were all family members, there was no need to entertain them. Ye Muyu and Madam Liu sat at the main table, while the other elders of the other branches of the Chu family sat at the other seats.
Madam Cao sat in the main hall, next to her was Madam Sun from the second branch, and on the other side was Madam Liu.
Beside Madam Liu sat Ye Muyu, beside Ye Muyu was Old Madam Ye, and the other seat was occupied by Madam Cao’s eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Zheng.
Even though Chu An did not pass the Elementary Scholar examination, he was still educated and was the next clan leader of the Chu clan..
