Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1476: Revised: Chapter 1473 Doubt

“You child, why have you been so stubborn since you were young, never considering yourself.”

Huo Hongyan just smiled, saying nothing more, as long as Grandmother didn’t send her away, she was fine with anything.

After calming Old Madam Huo, Huo Hongyan returned to her own courtyard.

As soon as she came back, a few younger sisters came over, each holding handmade gifts to give her.

Huo Hongyan felt even more resolute; no matter what, her family still needed her protection.

The Liu Family.

Madam Liu hurriedly went to the front courtyard to find someone after Liu Zhe returned from the banquet.

“Where is the young master?” Madam Liu stood at the courtyard gate asking, continuously looking inside.

The servant boy at the gate respectfully said, “Madam, the young master just came back and is changing his clothes in the side room.”

Madam Liu said sternly, “Then I will wait for him inside.”

The servant boy didn’t dare stop her and let her in, while another quickly ran to the side room to inform Liu Zhe.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Zhe came out quickly.

Madam Liu had already had a cup of tea; when Liu Zhe came out, she looked him up and down and asked with concern, “Ah Zhe, I heard that something happened to the Miss Huo at the banquet this time?”

As soon as Liu Zhe heard his mother’s words, he understood what she was getting at.

“Mother, it’s nothing. Why are you looking for me?”

Madam Liu snorted softly and said with concern, “Ah Zhe, don’t lie to me, I’ve had people keep an eye on it, so I know that the Miss Huo fell into the water and almost bumped into a man. Is Duke Zheng still insisting that you get close to the Miss Huo?”

“Mother, I know you’re worried, but my marriage is a small matter, and you needn’t worry about me not getting married in the future. As for Miss Huo, she’s innocent.”

“I know she’s innocent.” Madam Liu, being kind-hearted, couldn’t bring herself to slander or blame Miss Huo, considering it had always been her own son pestering Miss Huo.

The other party was rejecting them, and now that something had happened, she felt sorry for her son and didn’t want him to actually marry Miss Huo. Even Madam Liu knew that her actions today were unreasonable.

She met Liu Zhe’s eyes, making it even harder for her to speak.

Liu Zhe understood inside, looked at Madam Liu, and asked, “Mother, may I ask, do you dislike Miss Huo as a person, or do you dislike our family being coerced by Duke Zheng into doing this?”

Madam Liu was taken aback by his question, frowning and pondering his words.

Liu Zhe wasn’t in a rush, he leisurely organized the books on the table, patiently waiting for Madam Liu to speak.

Madam Liu didn’t let him wait too long, feeling somewhat guilty as she looked at him, stood up, tidied her dress, and said in a low voice, “Mother understands, be more careful. As long as you’re well, I’ll be at ease, nothing else is urgent.”

“Mother, don’t worry, nothing will happen to me.” Liu Zhe responded.

Madam Liu said no more and turned to leave.

Seeing her hastily leave, Liu Zhe finally felt relieved. Although he understood his mother’s temperament well and knew she would figure it out, he couldn’t be one hundred percent sure when it came to Huo Hongyan.

At the door, Ru Mo watched the lady leave and heard the young master call him from inside, so he quickly stepped in.

When Liu Zhe saw him come in, his face had resumed its cold expression.

Liu Zhe instructed him, “Find out who informed Madam and control that person.”
