Develop Feelings?
Only then did he say, “Mother, Madam Ye is right. Tang Rou really did come to my study.””
“Her thoughts are clear. I’ll have to trouble mother to help me deal with this matter.” Chu Heng was a man, after all. If he went to deal with Tang Rou, she would probably cling onto him.
Chu Heng did not need to show up for this matter. It would be easier to handle if he didn’t.
Madam Liu quickly nodded and replied, “Of course. I didn’t expect the Tang family to actually have their eyes on you. It seems that the previous rumors have affected the harmony between you and your wife. It has caused the Tang family to have thoughts that they shouldn’t have.”
“Don’t worry, Mother will find your Eldest Aunt and go see the Tang clan’s patriarch together. If they still want face, then they should do what is right.”
Madam Liu had her own selfish motives when she said this.
The first was to deal with Tang Rou.
Secondly, she was deliberately hinting to Chu Heng not to have any thoughts of divorcing his wife again. Otherwise, there would be more such chaos in the future. Besides, Madam Ye had already said that they would change in the future. How could Madam Liu not give her a chance?
Although Madam Ye was stupid in the past, it was because she were inexperienced. After all, experience could always be slowly gained.
Divorce was a big deal.
Even in the countryside, they would not easily make such a decision.
Therefore, it was very difficult for Chu Heng to divorce his wife unless he sacrificed something under certain conditions to let the clan understand his determination.
Chu Heng understood what his mother meant, but he was not in a hurry. Whatever he wanted to do, he could always do it. Right now, he was just informing his parents and the clan in advance.
“Mother, I’ve already told Madam Ye that Ziluo and Chu Jin will go to your house to study tomorrow. I wonder if the house has been cleaned up yet.” Chu Heng changed the topic and asked in front of Ye Muyu.
Madam Liu looked at him disapprovingly. She felt that her son should not think about the divorce anymore.
“Mmhm, we will definitely not mistreat the two children.” Seeing that her son did not accept her hint, Madam Liu felt helpless and wanted to talk about it in private.
Chu Heng nodded and sat still, flipping through the book, as if he was going to read in his sleeping room.
Madam Liu still wanted to talk to Ye Muyu, but seeing that her son was not moving, she coughed a few times and frantically hinted to Chu Heng that he could leave.
Chu Heng acted as if he did not hear her and even raised his head to ask with concern, “Mother, is your throat uncomfortable? Remember to get the medicine from the doctor.”
Madam Liu was speechless. Chu Heng was so smart. How could he not know what she meant?
“Alright, then I’ll go back first. You two husband and wife get along well. Madam Ye, cook more delicious food for Chu Heng tonight. It’s rare for him to come back, so he should nourish his body.”
Ye Muyu felt that Madam Liu’s words were too ambiguous. At most, she and Chu Heng were just lying on the same bed, covered in a quilt, and chatting. Why did it sound so different from what Madam Liu said?
Ye Muyu pretended not to understand her mother-in-law’s exhortation to cultivate a relationship with her ‘hubby’, Chu Heng, and nodded obediently. “Mother, I understand. He loves meatballs the most. Tonight, I’ll make it for him.”
“Right, right. Then you two husband and wife can talk. I’ll leave first.”
Madam Liu walked out of the door and did not let Ye Muyu send her off. When she saw Chu Jin practicing calligraphy and memorizing in the courtyard, she nodded in relief and praised, “Lil’ Jin, studying is good. In the future, you have to work as hard as you did today.”
“Grandma, I understand.” Chu Jin felt bitter in his heart, but could not say anything. He could only reply weakly.
