Chapter 1676 - 1678: A Woman’s Heart Is as Deep as the Sea (Happy Dragon Boat Festival!!)
The First Madam Luo’s voice was soft, not expecting Yang Chuxia to hear, leaving her a bit embarrassed for a moment.
"Last time, Old Madam Luo and the First Madam came over, saying they missed their granddaughter and were eager to bring Linyu back. Yes, Linyu didn’t want to return." Yang Chuxia directly addressed First Madam Luo, "Now, hearing you say this, even if Linyu wanted to go back, I wouldn’t allow it."
"I find it strange too, hearing you talk about how much you miss Linyu, anyone would think you care so deeply for her and have such a profound relationship. But now I understand that’s just empty talk. While Linyu lives in my Ye Family, nobody says anything, yet it’s your Luo Family that starts suspecting first. Is this something an aunt should say? Linyu is just a young girl who hasn’t reached adulthood; what could she be thinking? Clearly, it’s a beautiful sibling relationship, yet in First Madam Luo’s mouth, it becomes something sordid. If that’s the case, when Linyu returns to the Luo Family, even speaking a few words with a servant will make First Madam Luo suspicious."
"Madam Ye, please calm down." Princess Consort Le was also secretly irritated that First Madam Luo couldn’t watch her words. "Let’s be objective. Although First Madam Luo’s words are unpleasant, it’s also a kind of concern. Who can know the thoughts of a young girl?"
At this moment, Princess Consort Le’s mind turned, thinking perhaps it would be best to guide Yang Chuxia according to First Madam Luo’s intentions, so that once she had thoughts of her own, she naturally wouldn’t keep Luo Linyu.
After Luo Linyu returns to the Luo Family, if things go poorly, it’s likely that General Luo would also hold resentment against the Ye Family. Even the strongest feelings can fade away over little matters.
If discord arises within Prince Zhuang’s faction, it would be most beneficial to our lord.
"It’s said, a woman’s heart is a needle at the bottom of the ocean, no matter how young she is. Lord Ye is young and handsome, having girls from influential families seek marriage since he was young. As he grows older, he becomes even more extraordinary. Should a young girl have any thoughts, it’s not impossible."
Pausing, Princess Consort Le continued, "Madam Ye, this consort knows you’re worried about Miss Luo’s well-being in the Luo Family, but you must also make plans for yourself. I’ve heard that Lord Ye and Madam Ye were childhood sweethearts, deeply in love. Yet, if someone else comes in between, it might not be so blissful. Don’t you think so?"
"Nonsense!" Yang Chuxia no longer cared about the Princess Consort’s status or face.
What kind of people are these!
"Linyu grew up under my watch, I know her character best, and I know what kind of person my husband is even better. Just because Princess Consort Le is a spokesperson for Old Madam Luo doesn’t justify such remarks. You’re insulting not only my husband but also a young girl’s reputation, and me, Yang Chuxia. Do you think my judgment is that poor? Would I keep some vixen in my home?"
Yang Chuxia touched her sleeve and said, "I might make you laugh, but I have a bad temper, I like to use my hands rather than words. Back then, women tried to surround my husband, but none of them had a good ending. I often beat them black and blue, which was common. If Linyu were really that kind of person, do you think I would let her be fine until now? Princess Consort Le, please be careful with your words. Today it’s you speaking, so I won’t fuss over it. If it were someone else, they’d have gotten a slap from me a long time ago."
