Kapitel 199: Envy

Seeing that her son was well-prepared, Madam Liu was happy and satisfied.

She nodded. "I understand. You don't have to send me off. It's just a short journey."

Chu Heng did not insist.

When Madam Liu returned home, the sky had just turned dark. She had not had dinner at home yet. She could only hear Madam Zhang herding the chickens and ducks into the nest.

"Mother? You're back? Have you had dinner?" Madam Zhang closed the wooden door and patted the apron in front of her. She curiously came over and asked. As for whether she had eaten, it was just a casual question.

Madam Zhang was very envious of tomorrow's banquet. She had already tried to tell Chu Lin something two days ago, but Chu Lin only said that it was not suitable. He also said that he was the eldest son and had to be down-to-earth. If he did this, outsiders would only say that he was fooling around. Moreover, his third brother was a scholar, so doing this would be a good thing.
