One should only keep their enemies hidden. She and the Zhu family simply had different stances; there was no need for them to be at odds and scheme against each other.

As soon as she said that, the surroundings fell silent.

Chen Ying couldn't believe that Li Shu was so brave as to bring up the matter directly!

This embarrassing scene pained her, and she wished she could cover her eyes, but she couldn't ignore it, so she could only look at her brother with a heart full of despair...

Chen Feiqing was equally stunned, standing there dumbfounded, even mentally preparing to break up the fight.

Although his mother wasn't one to hit people, Ah Li's words were too direct and hurtful!

“You’re right, that’s what I think too, Ali. You’re just a child, not even married yet. You don’t know how much a mother loves her child. You’re not my child, but your uncle always hides it from me and gives you what rightfully belongs to my child. You’re a pitiful person who has been bullied so much, and I, as an elder, don’t even have the right to complain…” Madam Zhu was also angry. “Look at your cousins. They know I don’t want to, but they still help you, without considering my good intentions at all! How can I not feel bad?”

Zhu's eyes were slightly red.

Doesn't she want to be a good person? Does she have the opportunity? Does the Chen family have the ability?

“Of course, now that your father is gone, it’s only right that your uncle takes care of you. I have no objection. But regarding the marriage, if your uncle does what he did last time, I will absolutely not agree. And then… don’t say I’m heartless,” Madam Zhu added.

"Mother!" Chen Ying cried anxiously, "Ah Li, that's not what my mother meant, she's just too worried about me..."

“I understand.” Li Shu nodded in agreement. “If my uncle tries to do me a favor in the future, I would rather break off the marriage than accept it. However… returning the Ma family matter to my cousin might not be a good thing.”

Chen Ying has a great personality, and Ma Chengting might like her too.

Moreover, if Ma Chengting doesn't go to the Li family, he won't compare the original owner with Yao Aning, and he might not even fall in love with Yao Aning.

Perhaps none of this will happen.

But the fact that Ma Chengting could do such a thing proves that he has a fundamental problem.

"What do you mean by that?" Madam Zhu asked.

“Ma Chengting didn’t take a liking to me, but instead took a liking to Yao’s daughter, Aning. The couple could have simply broken off the engagement, but they were too arrogant and deliberately arranged a wrong marriage, sending me to the Qi family. Ma Chengting is of bad character, arrogant and conceited. I’ve also met the old lady of the Ma family, and the grandmother and granddaughter are cut from the same cloth. If my cousin really marries into that family, I’m afraid she’ll suffer a lot.” Li Shu didn’t hide anything and told her everything she knew.

She could also see Chen Ying's personality; she was a little proud and somewhat assertive.

Perhaps because of Chen Feiqing's poor health, the brother and sister supported each other. Although Chen Ying was a woman, she had the gentleness of a woman, but she did not appear weak.

She and Ma Chengting don't seem like they can get along peacefully.

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhu turned pale, thinking she had misheard. Her voice trembled as she asked, "What did you say? The wrong marriage… was deliberately arranged!?"

"Ah Li! How could this be? Wasn't it an accident?!" Chen Ying was also dumbfounded.

“The Ma family denies it, but I know what’s going on.” Li Shu nodded with certainty. “I have no reason to lie about this. It’s just that there isn’t much evidence, and the Ma family is deliberately hiding it. Although there are some rumors outside, many people, like you, don’t believe that Ma Chengting is that kind of person.”

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just... it's just too... too shocking." Chen Ying panicked as well.

She wasn't without her anger towards Ali.

Who wouldn't care if their perfect marriage was snatched away? But she also knew that Ali needed it more than she did, so she was able to let it go.

But she never imagined that the carefree life her father promised her was actually a worse outcome from the very beginning!

"Ma Chengtin!" Chen Ying gritted her teeth. "That man is shameless!"

Zhu's body went limp, and she quickly grabbed the door frame for support.

If this marriage is for her daughter...

Ma Chengting might not treat her daughter the same way, but... could she gamble on that possibility?! Her husband was a subordinate of the Ma family; if her daughter was also wronged in this matter, how could she seek justice for her daughter?

So, it was actually Ah Li who... saved her daughter from disaster?

Zhu was shocked, and the Chen siblings quickly went to support her. Zhu was very sad and looked at Chen Ying, saying, "I just want you to not have to live in fear every day like I do. Why is it so difficult!"

"Your aunt married into the Li family back then, thinking she was escaping a sea of ​​suffering. But she gambled on the wrong person. I thought the Ma family had some status and was grateful for kindness, so it must be a good place for her. But I never expected them to be so...shameless! hypocritical!" Madam Zhu was also filled with hatred and spat out her words.

"Mother, I don't really care about these things. Being a military household isn't a bad thing either," Chen Ying muttered softly.

Chen Feiqing glanced at her.

Li Shu glanced over too, and her cousin's expression seemed off!

Zhu felt very distressed and uncomfortable.

Looking at Li Shu now, her feelings were even more complicated. She felt guilty and heartbroken, but she also had the dignity of an elder that she couldn't bring herself to do. As a result, her expression was a little awkward and she couldn't speak. After a while, she forced herself to say, "Aying, you take your cousin to eat. My chest hurts, I need to rest for a while."

“Aunt, after you’ve rested, shall we talk about the Ma family again? I’ve been wanting to tell you about it for a while and see your reaction. I’m so happy to finally see you today,” Li Shu said with a grin.

"..." Zhu's hand trembled, and she turned to look at her.

I was already a little sad, but hearing these words made me even angrier!

What does this little girl mean? Is she doing it on purpose? You naughty girl!

"The Ma family is really despicable. Later, Old Ma even came to me and wanted me to marry a centurion who had divorced his wife! That man is also a military household member. You might even know him. If you have time, could you help me find out more about him..."

Madam Zhu's lips twitched: "Their family is no good! Don't listen to these kinds of things anymore!"

After saying that, Madam Zhu hid.

Zhu did indeed know a centurion who divorced his wife because she had no children!

The families in Wuzhuang are generally quite good, but there are bound to be some oddballs. The family Li Shu mentioned is one of them. However, ever since that man became a centurion, he has moved out of Wuzhuang. The woman in that family is a notorious wicked mother-in-law. The centurion is quite capable, but he doesn't treat his daughter-in-law like a human being!

What kind of matchmaker is this old lady Ma leading?

Old pest!

Zhu had always harbored a grudge, feeling that her daughter had missed out on a fortune, but now that she suddenly realized that the so-called fortune was nothing but a stinking cesspool, she felt both angry and relieved.

She was angry that her family had been deceived, but also relieved that this cesspool hadn't affected her daughter at all.

But at the same time, she felt guilty, because all the blame had been placed on Ali...
