The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2894: Silly Woman (Part 1)

Ye Family’s wife was a little surprised. "Relatives of the Chu Family?"

Du Chengxiu nodded. "Not just the Chu Family. That concubine has all sorts of tangled connections with our Second Branch, and she’s even linked to Hanzhong as well. All these years, you think madam’s intelligence network was set up for nothing? There are some things I’m not at liberty to spell out for you, but the grievances between the Chu Family and the Duo Family have dragged on for decades, while madam’s relationship with the Duo Family is extremely close."

"This..." Ye Family’s wife was a bit dumbfounded.

"Then what did you think made them so eager to get in touch with you?" Du Chengxiu shot his wife a sidelong glance. "Don’t forget, that son of theirs passed the Scholar exam; they say he’s going into officialdom. In the past he said more than once that merchants reek of the stench of copper."

Ye Family’s wife wasn’t stupid; she instantly understood the twists and turns in it, and couldn’t help drawing in a sharp breath. "So are they coming for us, or for madam?"

"You silly woman, can the Du Family be separated from madam?" Du Chengxiu let out a derisive snort. "At any time, our Du Family and the Yang Family and Gu Family are inseparable. Without madam and the General’s support, do you think we could have toppled the Second and Third Branches so quickly? Developed this fast?" By the end his tone even carried some fire.

"I understand, don’t work yourself up." Ye Family’s wife and Du Chengxiu were a couple who had weathered hardship together for many years, so naturally she knew each other’s temper. "I was just feeling a bit anxious because Qingqing is getting older. Besides, I didn’t agree to anything."

"It’s a good thing you didn’t just accept on the spot, otherwise our daughter would end up hating you."

"I wouldn’t. I’m not that stupid." Ye Family’s wife pouted.

"Better that way." Du Chengxiu exhaled. "Don’t start wagging your tail just because life has finally gotten good. I’m warning you, some things are best discussed with me before you do them. Otherwise, if we chill everyone’s hearts, we’ll both look bad."

Ye Family’s wife shivered. Life had indeed gotten better these past years, and she had floated up a bit, but now this blow to the head had thoroughly sobered her. "How could I be someone who doesn’t know good from bad?"

From his wife’s expression, Du Chengxiu could see she had thought it through, and his tone eased. "Madam probably saw through your thoughts long ago, which is why she spoke before you could. She also wanted you to hold your tongue, come back, and give it some serious thought and comparison."

"I know." Ye Family’s wife nodded. "How could I not understand madam’s temper? She’s extremely protective of her own, and she’s especially good to Qingqing." She paused. "Right, that Madam Liu asked me out for tea the day after tomorrow. I’ll reply to her in a bit."

"No need not to go. You should go. Just say we can’t be the ones to decide Qingqing’s marriage."

Ye Family’s wife nodded.

Yang Ruxin naturally didn’t know about the conversation between Du Chengxiu and his wife. She took her two daughters back to their room, and at this moment she was already missing Gu Qingheng and Hei Dou a little. They hadn’t even spent Mid-Autumn Festival properly.

"Mother, did you send a message to Father?" Lun Dou asked Yang Ruxin.

"I did." Yang Ruxin nodded. "By now your father should have received the message. Go to sleep. In a few days, your father will be here."

The two Dou girls went to sleep at ease.

The next day, Yang Ruxin decided to pay a visit to Duo Tianlin and Chu Rui. Back then, after Chu Rui died, Duo Tianlin buried her on Peach Mountain in the outskirts, then handed the Duo Family over to his younger brother Duo Tianwen and his adopted son Duo Hui, while he himself remained on Peach Mountain.
