Chapter 23

Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Meet

Of course, this should be pride and not arrogance.

When she arrived at Chu Heng’s house, she saw that the courtyard was clean and tidy. Madam Liu nodded her head in satisfaction.

She knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened. It was Chu Ziluo.

“Ziluo? Where’s your mother?” Madam Liu was not surprised that it was Chu Ziluo. She knew that her granddaughter was the most sensible. It was just that Madam Ye was a little stupid and did not know how to cherish this child.

“My mother is making shoes,” answered Chu Ziluo.

“Making shoes? I’ll go in and take a look.” Madam Chu knew that Madam Ye liked to slack off, but she cherished Chu Heng very much. There were flaws in her character, but it was not too serious. It was just a small problem.

Madam Ye was usually afraid of her, and could not change.

Therefore, Madam Liu only regret was that she could not get a reasonable wife for her third son. However, Madam Liu was a woman herself and knew the difficulties of women, so she would not chase Madam Ye away.

Since Madam Ye could not be chased away, she could only be taught.

Therefore, Madam Ye was most afraid of Chu Liushi.

Chu Ziluo was in the courtyard and she quickly called out to her mother.

Madam Liu knew that she was reminding Madam Ye, but she did not say anything.

The courtyard was not big. In just two or three steps, she arrived at the door of the east wing.

Ye Muyu knew when Madam Liu entered the courtyard. She did not get up immediately, but put the last needle in her hand and put the shoe that she had made with great difficulty into the sewing basket before she got up to welcome her.

“Mother, you’re here?”

Ye Muyu naturally welcomed Chu Liushi in, then turned around and said, “Mother, sit down first. I’ll get you some tea.”

As she spoke, she went straight into the kitchen and brewed some tea. She brought it over and even took a teacup.

Madam Liu looked at the shoes in her sewing basket. Judging from the size, it was rare to see that they were not made for her son, but for Ziluo.

What was wrong with Madam Ye today?

Had she been awakened?

Just as Madam Liu was feeling puzzled, Ye Muyu returned.

Ye Muyu was a little suspicious under her stare, but she did not show it on her face. After pouring her a cup of tea, she sat down and asked, “Mother, should I tell my husband that you’re here?”

“No need. I’m just here to talk to you.”

Madam Liu pointed at the shoes in the sewing basket and asked, “Did you make these shoes for Ziluo?”

“Yes, Ziluo will have to trouble you to teach her the rules in the future. A pair of shoes is not enough. I didn’t think it through in the past, but now that I know it’s not easy for children. I want to learn well from you in the future.” Ye Muyu’s voice was sincere.

Madam Liu could not even speak her doubts. She asked suspiciously, “Are you really willing to learn from me? Do you still know that you were wrong?”

If she had been surprised to see Ye Muyu making shoes for Zi Luo, she thought that she was hallucinating when she heard Ye Muyu say that he wanted to learn from her and that he had done something wrong.

She could not believe it.

The bad habits of Madam Liu were brought over from her maternal family.

Since it was said to be a bad habit, how could he suddenly change it?

Therefore, Madam Liu began to suspect that Ye Muyu was up to no good.

Ye Muyu noticed the change in her expression and knew that she did not believe her. She felt a little helpless. The Chu family had a deep impression of the original host’s stupidity in the past. Now that she said that she had come to her senses, it was normal that the other party did not want to believe her.

She did not want to pretend, so she just laid her cards on the table. Anyway, no one knew that she had changed her core. Using enlightenment as an excuse was the most appropriate.
