“You don’t have to be so polite. I won’t accept this gift. Just go in and eat. There’s no need to be so formal. Otherwise, I’m worried that this banquet won’t be enough to entertain you.” Ye Muyu immediately shut them up.
Luo Dahai’s smile froze for a moment before he quickly recovered. He handed the gift box to the servant behind him and did not continue to give it to her. Instead, he nodded with a smile. “Alright, alright. I won’t stand on ceremony with my niece-in-law.”
This time, Chu Hongmei did not say much. She followed Luo Dahai quietly.
However, her steps did not look natural.
“Cousin-in-law, this is…?” Luo Qingxue’s eyes fell on Xiang Ling’er and could not help but ask.
“This is First Aunt’s daughter, Ling’er.” Ye Muyu wanted to see what kind of tricks she was up to. She was not afraid of her tricks, but she was afraid that she would play dirty tricks. If they talked a little more, she might be able to get some information out of her.
“So it’s Cousin Ling ‘er…”
Xiang Ling’er saw that Ye Muyu was not friendly, so she was not friendly either. “I remember Mother saying that I should be younger than Second Aunt’s daughter.”
“What year was cousin born?”
“My birthday is in December of the 38th year of Hefeng.”
“It’s me who’s rude and didn’t ask clearly. You should be my younger cousin.”
“Oh, hello, Cousin. My name is Xiang Ling ‘er.”
Luo Qingxue reached out to shake her hand. “Hello, Ling’er. My name is Luo Qingxue. You can call me Cousin Qingxue in the future.”
“Alright.” Xiang Ling’er nodded and withdrew her hand without saying anything.
Ye Muyu just smiled and waited for the two to finish talking. Then she said, “Qingxue, why isn’t your father here? Is he busy?” I’m not sure what kind of business your family does and why is your uncle here. I’m curious and just asking.”
Luo Qingxue’s heart skipped a beat. She did not know what Ye Muyu meant. Was she dissatisfied?
Her own father did not come, but she brought an uninvited uncle. She had already offended Ye Muyu, her cousin-in-law, so she was afraid that Ye Muyu would mind even more now.
“Cousin-in-law, I’m sorry. My father went out to buy some goods. Mother and I waited at home for a long time, but we didn’t see him return. That’s why we called Uncle to follow us. We’re afraid that Cousin-in-law and Cousin Heng will think that we’re not sincere enough.”
“I see. I heard that your family runs a grocery store? I think there are a lot of goods that need to be imported usually. Could it be that they are all goods that are imported by yourself?” Ye Muyu asked curiously.
Luo Qingxue’s expression changed slightly, but it was still caught by Ye Muyu.
“There’s no need for that. My father would only make a trip personally to see the new goods. Usually, the Luo family’s big ship would bring the goods over directly. My father would just hire people to move the goods from the dock.”
“I see. It seems that it’s still convenient.”
“Then go in. I’ll get Ling’er to send you.” Ye Muyu smiled.
Xiang Ling’er was a little surprised. Her cousin-in-law had never asked her to entertain a guest alone. However, she was very obedient and did not ask much. “Cousin, I’ll bring you in.”
Ye Muyu watched them leave.
She believed that she had given Luo Qingxue a chance. If Luo Qingxue really had any intentions, she would definitely ask Ling’er for information. As long as she asked, she would expose herself.
“Ah Heng’s wife…” Over here, relatives soon arrived.
Although there was no room in the courtyard, most of them were there to see Chu Heng. Naturally, Ye Muyu brought them into the courtyard. After they finished talking, they would go to the sunning field next door to sit.
