Chu Qingyue didn't know how long she stood there. Her skirt had become wet and her delicate embroidered shoes were stained with dust.
The maid Lu He advised from the side: "Miss, let's go back. Since Chu Qingwan has made it clear that he doesn't want to see you, there's no point in waiting any longer."
Chu Qingyue refused to listen, rubbed her hands and said, "No, I must see her today."
Lu He was worried: "But you are almost wet. If you catch the cold, my wife and the young master will feel so distressed."
Chu Qingyue said: "It is for them that I have to wait until Chu Qingwan."
Lu He wanted to persuade her again, but inadvertently raised her eyes and saw Chu Qingwan.
She hurriedly touched her young lady's arm: "Miss, where is Chu Qingwan!"
Chu Qingyue turned around, took two steps forward, and said: "Sister, please let us go!"
Chu Qingwan was confused: "What's wrong with you?"
Chu Qingyue held her hand and said pitifully: "It's certainly wrong for me to hit your child, but didn't you repay it on the spot? Why did you end up hurting us like this?"
Harmful?
Chu Qingwan was confused after hearing this, and turned to look at Yanran, who also had no idea.
At this moment, Ling Han came out, and Chu Qingwan asked.
Ling Han reported to her in a low voice: "Miss Chu has been coming here in the past few days, but you have told me not to disturb you, so we have not reported back to you."
Chu Qingwan walked towards the eaves: "Why is she here?"
Ling Han said: "For the Chu family's business."
It turned out that after the old man returned to Taoranju, the Chu family's business was targeted inexplicably. Either the goods were intercepted, or the customers who had negotiated suddenly ran away.
In just a few days, the Chu family suffered heavy losses.
They couldn't find out who did it, so they took it for granted that it was Chu Qingwan's malicious revenge.
For this reason, Chu Huaian and Liu had a big quarrel.
Chu Huaian believed that the reason why Chu Qingwan was so merciless was because Mrs. Liu refused to apologize, so he forced her to apologize to the three little ones.
But Ms. Liu insisted that she had done nothing wrong and said nothing.
Under the stalemate, Chu Qingyue volunteered to come instead of Liu, hoping that Chu Qingwan would stop there.
Chu Qingwan touched his chin: "Who did it?"
Ling Han had no way of knowing.
Chu Qingyue raised her eyes: "Sister, if you have done it, why should you hide it? We are a family after all. As long as you stop it in moderation, your parents will not blame you."
Chu Qingwan found it funny: "Who is your family?"
Chu Qingyue bit her lip, feeling aggrieved: "Sister, I really regard you as my sister."
"No, I don't care." Chu Qingwan waved her hand.
"As for the business you are concerned about, I can tell you responsibly that this matter has nothing to do with me. It may be that your family has done many unjust things and offended people who shouldn't be offended."
Chu Qingyue just thought she was quibbling: "So, sister is unwilling to give up?"
Chu Qingwan felt that it didn't make sense to her, so he simply ignored her.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qingyue suddenly raised her voice and said, "Does my sister have to force my mother to bow her head and admit her mistake? She is an elder, how can my sister be so unfilial!"
Unfilial?
It was clear that Ms. Liu was the one who was wrong about the whole thing, but in the end she had to be slapped with such a big label!
She never thought of asking for that insincere apology, they just had to rush it!
Chu Qingwan raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "So what? Go back and tell Mrs. Liu that there is no substitute for apologizing and let her come in person."
After saying this, she called Wei Zhan and ordered: "Send Miss Chu back and let the people in Chu Mansion keep an eye on their golden branches and jade leaves, so that no one will rely on me indiscriminately."
After saying that, she walked into the yard.
Wei Zhan stood in front of Chu Qingyue coldly: "Miss Chu, please."
Chu Qingyue gritted her teeth: "I can leave by myself!"
She got into the carriage with Lu He's help.
She wanted to go back to her house and pretend to be sick to gain sympathy and sow discord between Chu Qingwan and the Chu family, but unexpectedly something happened that made her resentful.
