PEASANT WOMAN'S DECREED LIFE AS A WIFE

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1161: Persuasion

She nodded and promised Madam Huo not to act recklessly anymore.

Ye Muyu chatted with her for a while, and somehow, the topic shifted to the day when Huo Kewen heard Qi Rong personally talking about the Qi family’s and Luo family’s marriage discussion.

“When I went over that time, Qi Rong definitely saw me, that’s why she intentionally said those words for me to hear.”

“It was the same at the Princess’ Mansion, when I went to ask her, Qi Rong not only ignored me, but she deliberately disregarded what I was asking and started arguing with a few young misses from the Liu family instead.”

“I got angry and just pulled her aside.”

“Little did I know that Qi Rong suddenly got very angry, pushed me away, and said I was sick, always pestering her, saying it was just a joke at the time.”

“I asked her why she was joking, and she said it was just to make me unhappy, Mother, don’t you think Qi Rong is too much?” Huo Kewen almost burst into tears at that time, and now that she brought it up again, she was even more indignant.

“Joking?” Ye Muyu always felt there was something suspicious, blinked her eyes.

“Yes, she said it was just a casual remark, who knew I would take it so seriously that when I went to apologize a few days ago, she still created a scene and didn’t forgive me.”

“She said I ruined her.”

Madam Huo frowned, “Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?”

Upon hearing this, it was clear that there had been a misunderstanding, and Qi Rong might have been used as a pawn from the beginning.

“I’ve already fallen out with Qi Rong, even if I told you, Mother, it wouldn’t change the fact that she dislikes me, and I thought I could never properly discuss marriage again, so why would I still think about these things.” Huo Kewen’s voice became quieter as she spoke, and suddenly, looking up at Madam Huo, she said, “Mother, did the Qi family and the Luo family really talk about marriage?”

“I will find out about this matter, but right now, you haven’t recovered your health, and if you propose a marriage directly to the Luo family, Madam Luo will not agree. The only thing you can do now is to heal, and then there will still be hope,” Madam Huo said bluntly and coldly. Didn’t she love her own child? On the contrary, she did; previously going to propose marriage to the Luo family, before they could even respond, rumors spread about the Luo family becoming entangled with Duke Zheng and the Lin family. Then, the Qi family came along, and after that, her own daughter was injured. A succession of events, just within two to three months, caught the Huo family off guard. Initially, she had some hope for the Luo family, but now that her daughter was injured, how could the Luo family possibly still be willing? She hoped her daughter could have the courage to keep living on; as time passed, one could always forget Luo Ting. When people grow up, their mindsets change too.

Who would genuinely love someone to the extent of life and death?

“Mother, I know, I will take good care of my injuries, but could you please tell Luo if he’s willing to wait for me…” Huo Kewen didn’t even have the courage to finish her sentence.

Even in the capital, a woman couldn’t just marry whoever she wanted.

Besides, now that she had injured her health, what right did she have to ask someone to wait for her?

Huo Kewen’s face turned instantly pale as if struck by a thought, and she suddenly fell silent.

“What nonsense are you saying, for men, marriage is also about parental orders and the matchmaker’s words.”

“Mother, I’m tired,” Huo Kewen’s voice suddenly became flat, as if her energy had been sucked out in an instant.

Madam Huo, unable to do anything with her, spoke a few words, then walked out with Ye Muyu.

“Ah Yu, that child, Kewen, is too stubborn. I was hoping that since you are of similar age, you could chit-chat, but who knew she would be so bold, speaking such nonsense,”
