Chapter 532: No. Scholar's Residence

"His aunt, you haven't adapted yet. It will be fine after a few days." Chu Qingmeng smiled gently.

"Mom! Who's here?" Aunt Guihua's three daughters-in-law all came over.

Aunt Guihua smiled at Chu Qingmeng and introduced them one by one. "These are my three daughters-in-law. This one is from the eldest daughter-in-law. Do you remember her? I met her during the Lantern Festival. This one is from the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law. The one from the fourth daughter-in-law should be out. You three, this is our benefactor. You can just call her aunt."

Chu Qingmeng's mouth twitched slightly. She was only nineteen years old and had become the aunt of a group of people in their twenties and thirties.

Seeing how young she was, everyone hesitated and called her aunt, except Aunt Guihua's eldest daughter-in-law, who rolled her eyes and said nothing.

The room was full of women, and Cheng Feiying stood up and went outside. Aunt Guihua was puzzled. Seeing this, Chu Qingmeng explained, "There are differences between men and women. There are many women in the room, so you should stay away."

The air was quiet for a moment, and Aunt Guihua said in surprise, "Does this wealthy family have so many rules?"

Chu Qingmeng smiled and shook his head, "I am the most unruly one."

Isn't this a rule?! Aunt Guihua's third daughter-in-law asked in confusion, "Aunt, what do those two people do?"

"My guard." Chu Qingmeng spoke gently.

"My goodness, this wealthy family has to bring guards with them when they go out." Aunt Guihua's second daughter-in-law muttered softly.

Chu Qingmeng's mouth twitched again. Could she say that ordinary people don't have bodyguards?

"Auntie, your cloak looks new. Where is it made? How much did it cost?" Aunt Guihua's third daughter-in-law originally wanted to just ask where it was made, but she was afraid her mother-in-law would misunderstand that she wanted it, so she quickly added, "I want to save one for my daughter!"

"..." Chu Qingmeng was silent for a moment, then said tactfully, "This was given to me by my family. I don't know the details."

"Hey, Third Sister-in-law, come on, your little girl doesn't deserve this fine thing! You'd better save up money for your son's betrothal gift!" The eldest daughter said sarcastically, "She comes from a wealthy family. You can't afford this cloak even if you save for years! Can't you see that she hasn't even taken it off since she entered the house?"

"..." Chu Qingmeng was speechless. She didn't want to take it off because she was afraid of the cold, and because her clothes would be exposed, and they would have to kneel down to talk.

"Old man, if you can't speak, just shut up your shithole!" Aunt Guihua scolded. "If you really have nothing to do, go and cook!"

"Mom, am I wrong? You think they are good, but maybe they are looking down on you in their hearts!"

"You..."

"His mother! Dashan's mother!" A slightly old voice came from outside the house, and then the curtain was lifted to reveal an old man with half white hair. "Dalin sent a message saying that a high-ranking official will be coming soon. You should quickly arrange for someone to cook and clean up!"

"Oh! Okay, okay, I'll do it right away!" Aunt Guihua responded.

Chu Qingmeng stood up and said goodbye, "Aunt, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving first."

"No, no, no, we agreed to have dinner at my place tonight." Aunt Guihua was reluctant to let her go. "Don't listen to the old lady's nonsense. This little slut thinks she's superior because her father is a scholar. So what's the point?"

"Aunt, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't eat here. The children at home are waiting for me to go back for dinner." Chu Qingmeng made an excuse and walked out.

"No, no, my sister said we should go together..."

"Mom, why are you stopping me? How could I care less about our food? I..."

"Master and Madam, the master is almost at the door!" the doorman came running to report.

"Ouch! Go out and answer it!" Dad Dashan raised his leg and walked out with trembling hands.

Chu Qingmeng also took advantage of the fact that everyone was going out to welcome the "big official" and walked out.

When they reached the gate, Chu Qingmeng said goodbye again and left, but Aunt Guihua was determined to keep her for dinner.

While they were pulling, the carriage arrived at the door. Murisong and Liu Changyi got out of the carriage, but they were stunned as soon as they got off.

Chu Qingmeng twitched his lips and spoke first, "Third brother, Master Liu, are you guys here... to 'drop by'?"

The two of them were puzzled for a moment, and then Murisong reacted and put down his hand that was about to salute. "Sister, why are you here?"

"I just came back and met Lord Wang's mother on the way. We chatted for a while." Chu Qingmeng glared at Liu Changyi who wanted to salute.

Liu Changyi coughed dryly, then mustered up the courage to follow Muruisong and called out, "Sister Chu."

Liu Changyi's heart trembled when he heard Master Jiu calling her sister.

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave. Third brother, Lord Liu, you guys discuss things." Chu Qingmeng was about to take his leave and go back again.

"Sister! It's a deal. I'm going to treat you to dinner today. You can't leave..." Aunt Guihua grabbed Chu Qingmeng's arm tightly.

Wang Dalin finally reacted and took two steps forward to pull Aunt Guihua's hand away. "Mom, we can talk, but don't push us. Even if you want to keep someone for dinner, you should send an invitation in advance. You can't just ask them to stay so suddenly."

Aunt Guihua had no choice but to give up her idea of ​​inviting Chu Qingmeng to dinner. Wang Dalin bowed to Muruisong and Liu Changyi, then said to Chu Qingmeng, "Mrs. Chu, can you please excuse me?"
