Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

“Yes.”

Matriarch Chu said lightly, “She’s a very good girl. Be it her looks or etiquette, she has a lot of knowledge and ability.”

Mdm Jiang was surprised. She had rarely seen Matriarch Chu praise others.

Was Miss Lu really that good?

“Matriarch, Han Er rushed all the way here because he’s hungry. Let’s eat first.”

Mdm Chu did not like to mention Lu Sheng, so when she heard Matriarch Chu praise her, she felt even more vexed.

“Yes.” Matriarch Chu nodded slightly. “Let’s eat.”

“Come, Linger, try this lotus seed pork ribs soup.”

Shangguan Linger happened to be sitting on the right side of Mdm Chu. Seeing that the soup Chu Sihan scooped for her was no longer hot, Mdm Chu hurriedly served it to Shangguan Linger.

She felt that since Chu Sihan allowed Shangguan Linger to follow them today, she probably had a chance to be her daughter-in-law.

“Thank you, Auntie!”

Shangguan Linger received it with a faint smile.

Mdm Chu looked at her kindly with a gratified smile.

Matriarch Chu frowned slightly, but with Chu Sihan around, she could not say anything. She could only turn a blind eye.

When Mdm Jiang and Chu Silin saw this scene, they looked like they were watching a show.

They were looking forward to Mdm Chu’s performance later.

Chu Sihan picked up the soup expressionlessly and took two sips, ignoring Mdm Chu’s kindness to Shangguan Linger.

After dinner, the servant hurried to bring some water to wash up. After the masters washed up, they brought tea over.

Matriarch Chu was still thinking about the big matter Chu Hongqing mentioned. She hurriedly asked, “Hongqing, you said there was a big matter just now. I wonder what it is?”

Chu Hongqing said, “It’s about Silin’s marriage.”

“Silin?”

Matriarch Chu was slightly stunned. “Which girl is it?”

When Chu Silin heard that, he stood up and bowed. “Grandmother, it’s Linger.”

“What?”

Matriarch Chu and Mdm Chu spoke at the same time.

However, one was surprised and the other was in disbelief.

Mdm Chu suddenly looked at Shangguan Linger with an inquiring gaze.

Shangguan Linger did not look at her but sat on her seat with her eyes lowered.

“Linger, didn’t you… come with Sihan?”

Mdm Chu did not expect Shangguan Linger to have any interaction with Chu Silin.

After all, she used to hate Chu Silin from the bottom of her heart.

“Aunt, you must be joking.” Chu Silin said, “Cousin has a fiancée. Why would he bring Linger to his house? Wouldn’t that lead to gossip?”

Chu Sihan picked up the teacup and tapped the tea leaves lightly with the lid. His face remained indifferent, and no one could tell if he was happy or angry.

It was only then that Chu Hongqing remembered that his sister-in-law had indeed intended for her nephew to marry Shangguan Linger.

For a moment, it was inevitably a bit awkward.

Seeing Mdm Chu’s forbearing expression, Mdm Jiang lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

Shangguan Linger stood up and stood beside Chu Silin. She said in a low voice, “Linger and Brother Silin are in love. I hope that the Matriarch can fulfill our wishes.”

“In love?”

Mdm Chu smiled coldly. “Didn’t you say in the past that you wouldn’t marry anyone else but my son? Why did you fall in love with Silin so soon?”

Half a month ago, she even came to find her to discuss how to get Fu Xianyun to persuade Chu Sihan to take her in as his concubine.

In the end, it had only been half a month and Shangguan Linger and Chu Silin were already together?

Wouldn’t what she had done in the past for Shuangguan Linger be a joke?

Shangguan Linger smiled faintly. “That’s in the past. One has to look forward. Don’t you think so, Auntie?”

If Chu Sihan had not forced her, why would she compromise and marry the person she hated the most?
