Muniang curved her lips, “Yes.”
Seeing Muniang so certain, Qingya also felt relieved. For some reason, she never doubted anything Muniang firmly believed in. In fact, Qingya had reached a point of complete trust. This strong sense of trust and dependency was comforting.
“Right, Lady, you’re so good, the master must be blind not to want you!” Qingya harrumphed.
“Hmm, that’s not a bad idea.”
“What idea?” What did she say?
“If he dares not to want me, I’ll poke out his eyes,” Muniang said with a hint of menace in her tone.
Qingya shivered, almost spilling her cup.

“My Lord Marquis, I have found out that the heir has been recuperating in Qinghua City for the past year, fortunately taken care of by a family. As for who they are, the trail ends there. The heir probably doesn’t want anyone to investigate, she’s well-protected,” a guard reported to Marquis Qi Yu Guang with clasped hands.
Yu Guang pondered for a moment before saying, “Ze’er has always been prudent and never makes decisions lightly. Since he has already spoken of marrying that girl, we should not make it difficult for them. Otherwise, we would only alienate him from us.”
Jian Yue sighed, “I’m well aware of this principle, but, but this marriage is indeed too hasty, and as for the He Family, it really is a tricky situation to address.”
Yu Guang glared at Jian Yue, “What’s so tricky about it? Is the Yu Family going to marry someone without honoring the marriage agreement? Ze’er broke off the engagement with He Suxue three years ago. She insisted on waiting, and now that Ze’er doesn’t want her, can the He Family really impose that on us?
Besides, I see that Ze’er cares quite a bit about his wife, protecting her so well that he even guards against his own father. In these past ten-plus years, he has never mentioned a single request from home, and now, he finally speaks of marriage, and you’re not happy? Knowing Ze’er’s temperament, do you think he is now seeking our opinion?”
Jian Yue said with a gloomy face, “I know he harbors resentment towards us in his heart, and now I desperately want to make amends, but he won’t accept it. He’s finally willing to open up to a woman, and naturally, I’m overjoyed, but we haven’t even seen the girl, and know nothing about her character—”
Yu Guang snorted coldly, “Ignorance. Do you think an ordinary woman could catch Ze’er’s eye? What about He Suxue, the most talented girl in the Capital City? What feelings does Ze’er have for her? She is probably an extraordinary woman. Moreover, the very fact that she saved Yu Ze when he was seriously injured shows at the least her benevolent nature. Even if her family background is poor, we can’t dismiss this marriage.”
Jian Yue understood Yu Guang’s point, the person who could catch Yu Ze’s eye must be rare, or else why would a man of twenty-five not have taken a wife yet? They had finally found one, so don’t be picky and quickly agree. Moreover, she knew very well Yu Ze’s character: the so-called glory of Marquis Qi’s Mansion was actually all on account of his face. With great influence in the military and the ability to turn the situation in the court, once he had made a decision, there would be no room for others to question it.
Jian Yue muttered, “We haven’t even met our daughter-in-law yet, but everything’s good about her already. I at least have to see her in person.”
Despite saying this, she had accepted it in her heart. Jian Yue and Yu Guang were not people who cared about social standing, and they both felt a perpetual guilt towards Yu Ze. It was his first request; how could they refuse?

“Lin Yang! Guess what I heard today?” Mrs. Chui burst in, excitedly shouting with a big smile on her face.
Mrs. Chui had been sulking these past few days, occasionally taking it out on Lin Yang. Now that she was suddenly in a good mood, Lin Yang was caught off guard, but he was happy nonetheless. His life was easier when his wife was happy.
“What’s going on? Why are you so happy,” Lin Yang said.
Mrs. Chui plopped down on the kang bed and then, squinting her eyes, said, “You have no idea, I was just having a chat at Mrs. Wang’s place, and I didn’t expect to hear some big news! She has a relative living in Tupo Village who rarely comes over, but he stayed at her house overnight a while back. He mentioned their village’s Qiao Muniang, and how her foolish husband has abandoned her!”
Lin Yang was momentarily stunned, “What do you mean?”
“Oh, you brainless thing, her foolish husband, after that murder incident last time, suddenly got his wits back, and then, he ran away. Now it’s been a month, and there’s been no sign of him. Qiao Muniang, afraid of being gossiped about, pretended to go visit relatives. It’s all over Tupo Village now.”
“So, Qiao Muniang didn’t come out to explain anything?”
Mrs. Chui let out a cold snort, “Her, come out and explain? She’s probably too scared to even step out the door, too ashamed to show her face. With her fierce demeanor, which man could stand her? He definitely ran off. Qiao Muniang has been as quiet as a mouse, hasn’t responded at all. If that’s not a guilty conscience, what is?”
Lin Yang said, “What’s it got to do with us?”
“Are you stupid? Her murderer of a husband is finally gone. Shouldn’t we take this chance to go and seize her? How can we let that Lin Kexin slip away? Our family is in dire need of money right now. We should grab her and marry her off to collect the betrothal money. We’ve raised her for so many years, it can’t be for nothing!”
Mrs. Chui just couldn’t let go of the matter with Lin Kexin. We’re talking about dozens of silver taels, after all. Why not take it if it’s free!
Lin Yang, remembering Muniang’s capabilities, was somewhat afraid, “But she even beat Zheng Duobin in a fight, she’s not easy to deal with, we—”
Mrs. Chui poked Lin Yang on the forehead, “See, I said you’re stupid. If they dare to detain her again, we’ll just go to the Village Head. Lin Kexin is a member of our Lin Family. Tupo Village must give us an explanation, or else, I will accuse them of human trafficking!”
Lin Yang quickly praised, “Wife, you’re so smart.”
Mrs. Chui raised her head proudly, “Of course.” Now that the insane murderer was gone, there really wasn’t much to fear.
The next morning, Mrs. Chui took Lin Yang with her to Tupo Village.
By midday, they finally arrived at Muniang’s doorstep. Just as they were about to knock on the door, they saw a carriage approaching from the gate. Mrs. Chui, feeling somewhat guilty like a thief, instinctively found a place to hide.
Muniang had just delivered some new dishes to Dongxing Building and was returning at that moment. The young servant had already set up a footstool under the carriage, and Qingya, supporting Muniang, said, “Lady, take it slow.”
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Chui’s mind gave a jolt. Lady? Wasn’t Qiao Muniang a maid? Why does she look like a lady of high status now?
Mrs. Chui, observing the respectful attitude of those young servants and maids towards Muniang, suddenly understood everything!
Well then, this little wretch, she actually deceived her, a maid? This estate is hers!
