Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1257: Chapter 1254: Slapping the Face Chapter 1257: Chapter 1254: Slapping the Face “Hurry, or it will be quite early by the time we reach the next post station,” Madam Zhao the Second urged unexpectedly.

The Maiden in Pink gripped her handkerchief tightly, hiding her thoughts, quickly got off the carriage, and left with the maidservants.

Meanwhile.

Ye Muyu had finished speaking with Zhao Qingqing.

Madam Zhao came over to talk to her alone.

“Madam, your personal visit today and the gift of recipes are much appreciated,” Madam Zhao sincerely looked at her, then her tone shifted, “The sun has set, and you’re not feeling well, we mustn’t keep you any longer. Please go back, your kindness will always be remembered by Qingqing and myself.”

“Lady, you are too polite,” Ye Muyu knew that the sun was setting and that no banquet lasts forever.

She said goodbye to Zhao Qingqing and returned to the carriage with Madam Liu.

She watched as the Zhao family’s line of carriages moved further and further away.

“Ah Yu, shall we head back?” Madam Liu asked.

“Alright.”

Ye Muyu was unaware of the happenings in the Zhao family.

As the Maiden in Pink was forcibly sent back to the carriage by Madam Zhao’s nanny, the nanny did not hesitate to scold Madam Chu the Second, “Madam the Second, Madam knows the situation within the Zhao family now. If you still harbor those inappropriate thoughts, think about why you have ended up in your current state.”

“Had it not been for pursuing what does not belong to you, the Zhao family would still be able to live well in Jing City.”

“If you continue to be deluded, the Senior Lady will ask the master to decide and have the second household split from the family.”

“Madam the Second, you better watch yourself,” the nanny ignored Madam Zhao the Second’s angry expression and meaningfully glanced at the Maiden in Pink.

The Maiden in Pink’s face was covered in tears, her head bowed as she wiped them away, her clothes slightly wrinkled and hair a bit disheveled. On closer examination, one could see a faint slap mark on her cheek.

Once the nanny had left.

The Maiden in Green clenched her handkerchief, angrily said, “Great Aunt is already starting to bully us, Mother, you better think of something quickly, I don’t want to live under her thumb.”

“Shut your mouth,” Madam Zhao the Second, who had just been humiliated by her sister-in-law with whom she always had a strained relationship, was frustrated that her daughter, too foolish and only adept at being domineering, did not understand the difficult position of the second household.

The Maiden in Green was angrily silent.

Madam Zhao the Second ignored her and directly asked the little girl, “What did you just do?”

The Maiden in Pink paused her crying, unwilling to tell, but was forced to lift her head by Madam Zhao the Second, who then reprimanded her pointedly.

The Maiden in Pink cried out, “I just wanted to go and talk to Mrs. Chu, but before I could get there, I was stopped by Great Aunt’s people. Then, there was a quarrel behind me, and Great Aunt slapped me without reason.”

“What did you say to her?” Madam Zhao the Second was not easily fooled.

The Maiden in Pink shivered, hesitating before she finally murmured, “I asked if Great Aunt was planning to send Third Sister to the Chu family as a concubine and took the opportunity to ask her to find me a good marriage prospect.”

Madam Zhao the Second scoffed deeply, giving the young girl a piercing look, “You’ve grown up, starting to consider marriage,”

“But do you think your Great Aunt will genuinely consider your interests?” Madam Zhao the Second’s expression filled with resentment, “Dream on, remember how you used to treat her.”

The Maiden in Pink grew panicked, and even the Maiden in Green became anxious. After all, she had just reached marriageable age and, with the trouble in the Zhao family, the other party had backed out of the arranged marriage.

“Mother, what should we do?” The Maiden in Green asked anxiously.
