Chapter 1407 - 1410 The means have changed now_1
One of the ladies from the Wang Family said to Ms.Wang, "Madam Yang, this is really not proper of you. You didn’t even tell us about your son’s wedding. How could I have the nerve to come and invite you to my son’s wedding in the future?"
"Exactly, exactly, Madam Yang, you don’t consider us sisters." Another lady from the Wang Family also chided Ms.Wang.
Such familiarity and intimacy made Ms.Qian of Wang Family quite uncomfortable, thinking to herself how her sister-in-law had become increasingly different, now mingling with the truly wealthy families.
As for Qian Xiaoqing, she was delighted. She had changed her tactics, realizing that being forceful was ineffective, so she had turned to a softer approach—directly targeting Yang Qingrui. As long as she treated Yang Qingrui well, she believed that one day he would be moved to agree. Today, she was here to deliver clothes to Yang Qingrui, but she hadn’t expected to encounter the Ye Family’s baptism ceremony.
Right then, she thought that moving Yang Qingrui would surely take more than a moment, so before that happened, she must ensure that Yang Qingrui wouldn’t get married.
Also considering that the Ye Family’s baptism would surely be attended by many relatives and friends, she wanted to make an impression. She aimed to let everyone know that Yang Qingrui was "taken" by her, so that families with eligible daughters should not consider marrying into the Yang Family, and those thinking of matchmaking for Yang Qingrui should refrain from doing so.
Thus, without waiting for Ms.Wang to respond, she said with a shy demeanor, "I’m not yet married to Qingrui."
The crowd exchanged puzzled looks. The future bride of the Yang Family’s Eldest? What was going on? Just a few days ago, the Yang Family was still arranging a match for their Eldest. How come it had been settled so suddenly?
She looked decent enough, but her words were rather frivolous, making it clear that the taste of the Yang Family wasn’t all that great.
A couple of ladies felt it was a pity. The Yang Family had considered their daughters not long ago. It was regrettable that such a good household as the Yang Family, although residing in the village, was served by maids and servants.
"You’re not married to my younger brother yet!" Just as the crowd was speculating, the voice of Yang Chuxia rose, "Not only are you not married, but you also shouldn’t even dream of marrying my younger brother in this life."
"Last time, out of respect for my second uncle, I invited grandparents and second uncle. I didn’t expect to miscalculate. I thought their presence would keep you and my second mother-in-law in check, but I didn’t expect you would dare defy even my second uncle and grandparents."
Yang Chuxia snorted coldly, paused, and then addressed everyone, "I need to explain this matter to all of you. My younger brother is currently a free and unattached man. If any families have suitable daughters, remember to introduce them to my younger brother. As for this woman here, I’m not afraid of being laughed at—she is my second uncle’s wife’s niece, not a close relative of our family. She’s a widow who followed my second uncle’s family here and took a liking to my younger brother and then shamelessly insisted on marrying him."
After saying this, she didn’t care whether Qian Xiaoqing’s face was red or white, and directly sneered, "Should I call you Miss Qian or Madam Qian? Why have you come to our house? What do you want here?"
When Yang Chuxia decided not to show any respect to someone, she was determined to completely expose them.
Ms.Qian of Wang Family, however, was protective of her niece and naturally wouldn’t let her be humiliated.
She retorted, "How can you speak like that, you brat? How can there be no connection? She is my niece, I am your second aunt-in-law, and she came with me. Besides, what do you mean by my niece being shameless? It was Qingrui, that young lad, who sent my niece the purse."
