The madams were gossiping in a low voice. Cheng Yujin’s looks and temperament were in line with their preferences, and now she had become a poor victim in their eyes. And for Huo Changyuan, who had done all the things the madams were afraid their sons might do, he naturally became the target of all kinds of criticisms.

Behind every man who had a change of heart, there was a shameless vixen. The madams couldn’t say for sure whether second Miss Cheng was indeed in the wrong or not, so they just talked about Huo Changyuan.

The madams glanced at Huo Xue-shi. Their eyebrows were raised silently. Huo Xue-shi’s complexion wasn’t pretty. The former daughter-in-law didn’t put her on the eye, and was now showing her ability in front of many guests. Huo Xue-shi secretly suspected that Cheng Yujin was deliberate.

Lian Qiao didn’t quite understand why Cheng Yujin looked gloomy. She put down the pastry tray and said: “Miss, Huo family’s matter has nothing to do with you. Why do you care about the second branch? Although marrying during the early mourning period is acceptable, but it is not praiseworthy either. Anyone who pays attention to courtesy and rules will never let their daughters to get married before the mourning ended. When people talk about it in the future, they will also point out how the second Miss was very impatient to get married that she didn’t even want to observe the mourning for her grandfather. In the end, the second branch will have to bear the ill reputation, so why Miss has to care about them?”

After the servant came out to report the Old Master’s death, cries broke out in the courtyard. Whether it was the madams or the young misses, they all bowed their heads and wept. Old Madam Cheng’s body shook heavily, and she almost fell backward. The womenfolks were stunned and hurriedly shouted: “Old Madam!”

The night was getting deeper and deeper. Qingfu has been checking the account books for hours. She knew that no matter how much she wished, the numbers written wouldn’t increase. She could only stand up regretfully and slowly moved her stiff back: “I spent all night checking the books, how exhausting. But it’s a pity. Even after so much effort, in the end, I still let others profited off my effort.”

When it comes to money, it was hard for the mama to comment. She tentatively said: “This old servant doesn’t understand these things. But if Madam thinks there is a problem, why don’t you discuss it with Eldest Master? Eldest Master spent most of his time outside. His knowledge should be extensive, and he must understand this kind of matter.”

However, after dividing, their share only amounted to around five to six thousand.

Cheng Yujin carefully counted twice. But because it was only a rough estimation, she was afraid that she might remember wrong, and deliberately used her hand to weighted the whole box for a while.
