Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

“But what should we do? Our Han Er likes this country bumpkin.”

A deep and hoarse voice traveled over, causing Shangguan Linger to subconsciously take a step back behind Mdm Chu.

At a corner, an old woman was walking towards them with the help of two servants.

“Mother!”

Mdm Chu hurriedly broke free from Shangguan Linger’s grip and bowed to the old woman.

Ever since Chu Siyun died from poisoning, Matriarch Chu had been worshiping Buddha in the temple. She rarely came out, and even handed over the family’s authority to Mdm Chu.

She felt that if she had not been selfish and let her son marry Mdm Jiang, her grandson would not have been poisoned.

Although the Chu family was wealthy back then, they could not compare to Mdm Chu, Fu Ting, who came from an official family.

In front of her, the entire Chu family felt inferior.

At that time, Mdm Jiang had a deep affection for Chu Hongzhong. Compared to Fu Ting’s forcefulness, Chu Hongzhong unknowingly developed feelings for the gentle and affectionate Mdm Jiang.

Matriarch Chu felt that Mdm Jiang’s entry might dampen Fu Ting’s spirits.

Indeed, after Mdm Jiang married over, Chu Hongzhong stopped visiting Fu Ting.

As time passed, fear grew in Fu Ting’s heart, and she became more restrained.

After that, Chu Hongzhong slept with her again, and Chu Siyun was born.

It was a pity that Chu Siyun died in the hands of Mdm Jiang.

“This Shangguan’s family upbringing is only so-so. Calling people a farm girl. That girl seems to be more disciplined than you.”

Matriarch Chu stared coldly at Shangguan Linger.

Although Mdm Chu liked Shangguan Linger, she disliked her a lot.

Although this girl looked gentle and obedient on the surface, she was not an easy person to deal with.

She was an old woman with one foot into the coffin. How could she not see through a girl?

The person that Shangguan Linger was most afraid of was Matriarch Chu. She kept feeling that Matriarch Chu’s eyes could penetrate one’s skin and see through one’s heart.

“Han Er once said that he will only marry one wife in this lifetime.”

After reprimanding Shangguan Linger, Matriarch Chu said to Mdm Chu with a gloomy face, “Han Er has good judgment. The person he chose is naturally outstanding. Furthermore, Miss Lu is the wife the State Minister specially chose for Han Er. She’s Haner’s destined partner. Don’t destroy his good marriage because of some bad person’s words.”

Matriarch Chu’s indirect scolding made Shangguan Linger blush.

She gritted her teeth secretly, hoping that Mdm Chu could retort on her behalf.

Who knew that Mdm Chu obeyed the matriarch and said, “Mother is right. Han Er has his own ideas since he was young. As his mother, I naturally won’t make things difficult for him.”

Ever since Chu Sihan mentioned Mdm Jiang, Mdm Chu had thought it through.

Since his son was unwilling to marry Shangguan Linger, forget it.

“It’s good that you understand.”

Matriarch Chu nodded in satisfaction. Without even sparing a glance at the pale Shangguan Linger, she said to the two servants supporting her, “Let’s go and see our future Young Madam.”

“Mother, take care!”

After Matriarch Chu left, Shangguan Linger looked at Mdm Chu with a pale face and said, “Auntie, I… I really like Brother Sihan. I can give up my status!”

Mdm Chu sighed softly and shook her head. She said to Nanny Kong, “I’m a bit tired today. Send Miss Shangguan back for me.”

“Yes!”

Nanny Kong agreed in a low voice.
