“What happened?” Ye Muyu asked. Zhang Cong heard her voice and quickly walked to the kitchen door. He panted and said, “Madam, it’s like this. There’s a rumor in the village that the Old Madam of the fifth branch fought with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cao family. I heard that it was because of
Master.”
Zhang Cong told Ye Muyu the news he had heard.
Ye Muyu was silent for a moment after hearing that. She had never thought that Fifth Aunt Qian would fight with Madam Xu to protect Chu Heng’s reputation.
However, she was very satisfied.
Ever since the incident at the name change banquet, she had never treated the Cao family as family. She treated them like complete strangers. Even when they met in the village, she had no intention of greeting them. Now, the other party was actually trying to smear Chu Heng’s reputation?
There must be a reason.
“Zhang Cong, help me find out about the Cao family and see how they react to this matter.”
After instructing Zhang Cong, she called Madam Hu over. She placed the cooked vegetables into the Oden soup pot and cooked them slightly before they could be eaten.
“Madam, should these be sent to the villagers who spoke up for Master today?” Madam Hu confirmed, and at the same time, she placed the bowl of Oden into the basket.
There were quite a number of families quarreling today, so he had to send more than a dozen of them away.
“Yes, there’s no need to say much about sending it over. Just say that my family made some new food and wanted to let everyone try it.” Saying too much would only lead to more mistakes. Ye Muyu would not let anyone have a hold on her, lest the Cao Family found an opportunity to frame her.
Of course, she could not let go of the other party.
Zhang Shu, Madam Hu, and Nenya carried a basket in their hands and gave a portion to the families who had helped Chu Heng in the previous quarrel.
The news quickly spread throughout the village.
Madam Xu’s eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Fang, had just returned from hiring a doctor to take a look at her mother-in-law’s face. She passed by Lady Liu’s house.
She was stopped by Lady Liu.
Lady Liu was holding the Oden that Madam Hu had just sent over.
“Oh, Lady Fang, did your Cao family receive the fresh food from the scholar’s wife?” Lady Liu deliberately held the bowl and walked around in front of Madam Fang. The fragrance ran straight into Madam Fang’s nose.
She understood the meaning behind Lady Liu’s words and instantly had an ominous premonition.
Could it be that the Madam Ye had given food to the villagers who beat up their mother-in-law today?
Then she definitely would not give it to the Cao family!
This was too embarrassing.
Madam Fang had a thin face. She did not answer Lady Liu’s words at all. She hurriedly replied,” I still have something to do at home. I’ll leave first.” Seeing the other party flee, Lady Liu smiled happily.
Madam Fang staggered and her face turned red. Especially after this, she realized that meeting Lady Liu was just the beginning.
“Lady Fang, is Madam Xu really beaten until her face is swollen?” This was what the villagers who heard the news asked later.
“Sister Fang, I heard that Lady Ye sent fresh food to many families. I heard that it was delicious. Your Cao family…”
Madam Fang was afraid that the other party would ask if the Cao family had it.
However, if she said yes, she would be lying!
“The food made by Lady Ye is too delicious. It’s all thanks to Madam Xu of the
Cao family. Otherwise, this old woman wouldn’t have such good fortune.”
“That’s right. Lady Ye is generous and open-minded. She only helped to speak up for him and even sent something to thank him.”
“Grandma, Lady Ye is so nice. I heard that Ziluo entered the top 100 in this competition. I’ll play with her in the future..”
