Chapter 416: Chapter 416: That sister should get married soon

Chu Lian had stayed holed up in the Academy for several days, thinking that the matter of his rejection would not be discussed by the common folk for more than a few days and the heat would die down soon.

However, what he did not expect was that when he left the Academy, his affair was still being talked about on the streets, and was even escalating.

"I never thought that the Chu Family would be so persistent in wanting to marry Miss Wang."

"Exactly! They’ve proposed for five consecutive days, and each time Miss Wang has turned them away at her door."

"..."

"..."

Chu Lian was startled in his heart, what on earth was going on, his family was still proposing marriage, now it was done for, that willful girl would hate him again.

Unable to listen any further, he quickly found a carriage and headed straight to Shibao Town.

Upon entering the front hall of his home, he saw his family lounging leisurely.

He directly challenged, "She has already turned down the proposal, why are you still sending marriage gifts?"

However, his challenge was met with no response; those people, as if they had arranged it beforehand, continued their tasks undisturbed and completely ignored him as if he were air.

Anxious, he called out, "Mother."

"Oh, my son is back. I thought you didn’t want this family anymore?"

"..." His mother was putting on airs again, he was immensely frustrated and asked again, "Why are you still sending marriage gifts?"

Mrs. Chu’s eyes beamed with joy, "Son, this daughter-in-law is good, Mother likes her. She is beautiful, has a pleasant voice, carries herself like a lady from a prominent family, genteel and poised. Most importantly, she has a kind heart."

"..." What was his mother talking about? A lady from a prominent family? Genteel and poised? Was she talking about that willful girl?

"She even massaged Mother’s feet. Your future wife is very gentle," boasted Mrs. Chu.

"..." Massaged feet? What had his mother done? He suddenly had a bad premonition.

Perplexed, he looked towards Chu Huan, who catching his brother’s glance, promptly said, "Mother dressed as a beggar to test her out. That sister passed the test, Mother likes her."

Upon hearing this, Chu Lian’s anger surged. How could his mother do such an excessive thing, the willful girl would surely be heartbroken upon knowing it, and would hate him to death, he didn’t want to see her crying face, as pitiful as a pear blossom battered by the rain.

He yelled at his mother, "Mother, you have gone too far."

At that moment, the usually silent Mr. Chu roared back, "How dare you speak to your mother like that?"

Chu Lian sneered; his father always sided with his mother. His mother had gone too far, couldn’t he vent his frustration even a little?

"From now on, don’t interfere in my affairs, stop the marriage proposal immediately," he continued shouting, determined to end it; he could no longer cause her any more trouble.

Seeing their son’s stance, Mr. Chu swung his hand, "Someone, pass the order to stop sending marriage gifts."

Upon hearing this, Chu Lian’s eyes lit up—excellent. Now the willful girl shouldn’t be troubled anymore.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Chu sighed and said, "I thought you felt differently about Miss Wang than other girls and that your parents were just trying to help, but since this is your attitude, we might as well forget it. Anyway, Miss Wang from the Wang Family does not agree."

Mrs. Chu continued with her affected grief, "Such a good girl, soon to become someone else’s daughter-in-law. We are not fated to be mother and daughter-in-law."

"..." What was his mother talking about?

Seeing her brother’s puzzled expression, Chu Huan explained, "That sister told Mother that she is looking for a matchmaker to find an ideal husband for her. The sister will likely marry soon."

"..."
