Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 370 - 370 369 Fell into the Water

?Chapter 370: Chapter 369: Fell into the Water Chapter 370: Chapter 369: Fell into the Water Mrs. Jiang found herself in a quandary. Here, her husband held a lowly status, and hence, she usually refrained from speaking much in such gatherings. Moreover, she contemplated forging marital ties with the He family. But Mrs. He’s targeted criticism of Chen Afu compelled her to speak up. Now, her fate was intertwined with Chen Afu’s—they would share in glory or in defeat.

She reluctantly said, “Fu’er is my daughter, and our family, the Chens, indeed come from humble origins—we have little to boast about.” She then smiled at Mrs. Fu and said, “But without bragging, I can say that my daughter Fu’er is always well-behaved and sensible. She treats the child of her husband’s late wife as if she were her own. Not only is her husband satisfied with my daughter, even my son-in-law’s grandfather too commends Fu’er as a virtuous daughter-in-law, hard to come by.”

Mrs. Fu smiled at Mrs. Jiang and said, “Yes, I also heard from my son that General Chu, Marquis Chu, Mr. Chu, and Mrs. Chu are all highly impressed and satisfied with this young daughter-in-law—they describe her as intelligent and virtuous. This is all thanks to the good upbringing by Mrs. Chen.” Then turning her head toward Mrs. He, she tittered, “Mrs. He, you shouldn’t overthink things. How old is Madam Chu? She is just a teenage girl. She hasn’t experienced the hardships that we women have gone through, so naturally, she’d be unaware.”

This old lady not only knew how to mediate but also how to shift perspectives subtly. No wonder Mr. Fu, who was courted by the Chu family, the Wang family, and the Sun family on behalf of the Ninth Prince, Second Prince, and the Third Prince respectively, managed to keep good relations with all, without offending any party.

With her words, neither Mrs. Jiang nor Mrs. He could say much further.

At this point, Mrs. Fu led Fu Lingshan, the eldest daughter of the Fu family, into the room.

Mrs. Fu chuckled and said, “Madam Chu, you should go and play with the other young ladies and check out the bride’s dowry. Keeping the company of us old women will only bore you.”

Chen Afu was eager to leave, so she rose to her feet, exchanged smiles with the ladies, and left with Chu Hanyan and Mrs. Fu and her daughter.
