But judging from her frantic and frustrated attitude, she was probably upset about something to do with Tong Sanlang and Tong Tiehu.

This development came a bit quicker than Qiao Xiaomai had anticipated.

The Zhang Family’s matriarch had always been prejudiced against her, and changing her attitude wasn’t something that could be done overnight.

But now, only a few days had passed, and she’d actually taken the initiative to come propose a marriage.

However, the manner in which she had done so was brash, to say the least.

She didn’t invite the Matchmaker along, nor did she bring any gifts—she just came.

Not to mention, she had a grim expression on her face, like someone owed her a debt.

Just how little did she think of Qiao Xiaomai?

I won’t marry.

With that attitude, I definitely won’t get married.

Seeing the matriarch still standing there, Xiaomai pointed at the door and said, “Mother, please leave.”

At her words, the matriarch deeply inhaled and through gritted teeth said, “You’ll regret this!”

“What’s there to regret?” Qiao Xiaomai laughed lightly.

“You think you can find a husband better than Sanlang?”

“Sanlang is very good, but unfortunately, I have no feelings for him.”

“Fine,” the matriarch pointed her finger towards Qiao Xiaomai, “Remember what you said today.”

“I’ll remember,” Qiao Xiaomai nodded.

The matriarch gave Xiaomai a dirty look before storming out of the yard towards the gate.

After leaving Qiao Xiaomai’s house, she held her anger in as she walked home.

All the way, she mumbled insults about Qiao Xiaomai under her breath.

She was infuriating her!

Once she got home and saw Zhu Hongyun, she directed her rage onto her.

She had already had her doubts about making Qiao Xiaomai her daughter-in-law. Zhu Hongyun was the one who kept encouraging her, and look what happened—she’d lost face!

She’d lost all her respect!

Zhu Hongyun took a few hits, and through the pain, she tried to understand the specifics. After hearing what happened, her eyes darted around in thought as she said, “Mother, something’s not right. Why do the three of them sound like they’ve conspired together?”

“Looking at their usual relationship, it’s harmonious as hell, but these three are now contradicting that. Are they intentionally manipulating us?”

“Huh?” The matriarch frowned at Zhu Hongyun’s words, “Manipulating us for what?”

“Benefit, of course.” Zhu Hongyun’s mind was racing, trying to figure out what unknown secret might be hidden in this scenario.

“At this point, what benefit could she possibly gain from us?” Asked the matriarch.

“Something is definitely off. Do they believe we’ve been blind all this time and can’t see through it?” Replied Zhu Hongyun.

Hearing these words, the matriarch decided not to hit Zhu Hongyun anymore, she sat down on the bed to mull over why all three would be singing from the same hymn sheet.

One wanted to marry and the other wanted to receive, but now they were both denying it.

What on earth were they up to?

“Could it be that Qiao Xiaomai has really managed to attach herself to a noble figure and thus looks down on Sanlang?” As she remembered the scene of students coming over to Qiao Xiaomai’s house for meals, Mrs. Zhang started to speculate.

While Qiao Xiaomai might not be able to marry a prince, it was still possible for her to find a well-off student at the academy.

“That couldn’t be…” Upon hearing her mother’s words, Zhu Hongyun started to feel anxious.

“How could it not be? Didn’t you hear your grandfather say that those students have even made reservations for meals during winter! She’s talented and fairly good-looking. After coming and going, it’s definitely possible for her to snag someone of status!”

“What should we do then?” Zhu Hongyun became even more flustered with this realization—it was indeed possible!

She had been counting on Qiao Xiaomai to help her return to their once affluent lifestyle!
