Although the Cui family did not show it in person, Madam Qu still felt that the Cui family was not as friendly towards them as before.

In particular, Qu Liangyu and Qu Lianghua, who were studying at Qinghe Academy, sensed it the most.

The cla.s.smates who were originally on good terms with them also started to ignore them.

Previously, Qu Liangyu could still speak to Chu Tianbao. Now, when he was in front of him, he would only see his cold face.

Bai Wutong’s thoughts were Chu Tianbao’s thoughts. Chu Tianbao hated whoever Bai Wutong hated.

Even if the others looked better than Chu Tianbao, they would not be close to

Seeing that his big brother, who had always been respected, had been treated coldly because of him, Qu Lianghua blamed himself. “If only I hadn’t come, Big Brother would definitely be like a fish in water here.”

Qu Liangyu comforted him. “Let’s just study in peace. I came here to study.” As for the rest, there was no need to force it. But he was also regretful that the Cui and Qu families, who should have been close, had become like this.

Qu Lianghua wanted to leave on his own, but he could not bear to part with the teachers whom he had learnt so much from Qinghe Academy, let alone Cui Lingyi, whom he was yearning for.

Finally, he sighed weakly. “It’s been hard on Big Brother.

Qu Liangyu smiled. “We’re a family. Why are you being so polite?”

Qu Lianghua blamed himself even more.

The adults could understand each other, but the children would not restrain their emotions.

Qu Lianghua’s son, Qu Sheng, was ostracized by the children of the academy. Fortunately, they were twins and could talk to each other.

Qu Xin’er had snuck out herself and was teased by the children in the village by singing nursery rhymes.

She was so angry that she scolded them for being a group of country b.u.mpkins. This clearly showed that she was uneducated, so Madam Qu, who felt that she was embarra.s.sing, locked her up. It was useless even if Qu Lianghua pleaded.

Madam Qu did not feel good either. When she first arrived, the wives of the 30 families in Qinghe were each more enthusiastic than the other. They took turns inviting her to tea and chat.

Ever since Qu Xin’er caused trouble at Bai Wutong’s house, this group of women had disappeared.

Madam Qu thought that they were afraid of the Cui family and did not dare to hang out with her. She made up her mind to move out as soon as possible.

However, there was no news of the house.

She couldn’t stand the feeling of living under someone else’s roof after only a few days. How could she let her son and grandson suffer for several years? Madam Qu decided to take the initiative to buy a house!

At the thought of buying a house, the beautiful courtyard of Bai Wutong’s house appeared in her mind.

Although Bai Wutong was very annoying and sharp-tongued, her house was the most eye-catching to Madam Qu.

In this countryside, one could earn a few taels of silver a year.

Bai Wutong’s husband would probably need more money to take the imperial examination in the future.

Madam Qu did not believe that Bai Wutong would not be tempted by a large sum of money.

Madam Qu dressed up herself and came to Bai Wutong’s house door.

Chu Tianbao had gone to school. Bai Wutong was in casual clothes and practicing martial arts with Qingfeng.

Madam Qu brought the maidservant to the door in a mighty manner. Through the door railing, her eyes were filled with disdain when she saw the slovenly-dressed and ferociously attacking Bai Wutong.

She was indeed a country b.u.mpkin. She was not presentable at all.

How could Cui Lingyi be obedient when she was on good terms with such a woman?

Madam Qu had been waiting at the door for a long time, but Bai Wutong and Qingfeng were still exchanging moves fiercely.

Their valiant figures made the maidservants admire them, but Madam Qu was very angry. How dare they ignore her and leave her at the door?

However, looking at this house and the courtyard, the dissatisfaction in Madam Qu’s heart was suppressed again.

With Qingfeng personally guiding her as a sparring partner, Bai Wutong had improved rapidly. Now, she could even withstand more than ten moves from Qingfeng.

After the battle, Bai Wutong wiped the layer of sweat from her head and glanced at the door.

Madam Qu, who was still waiting, had a gloomy expression.

Bai Wutong stopped in her tracks and pretended not to see her as she entered the house with Qingfeng.

It was until Madam Qu could not hold it in anymore and gestured for the maidservant to call for her. Bai Wutong changed into an exquisite white dress.

The material of this set of clothes was a gift from Sheng Huaixuan. It was called Cloud Brocade. It was made of a special material that was soft and comfortable, and it shone under the sunlight.

Bai Wutong quite liked it and was shocked to know the price. A roll of cloud brocade actually cost 20 taels of gold, and she might not even be able to get it.

There was limited stock for cloud brocade. Just like the special Phoenix Feather Wine, it was specially supplied.

However, Sheng Huaixuan was giving out cloud brocade to every family. Regardless of whether they were specially supplied, he would definitely be able to supply them in huge quant.i.ty.

Her tall and graceful figure, beautiful face, and unique temperament made her look like a G.o.ddess.

Madam Qu was instantly stunned by her beauty.

In the next second, her gaze was firmly fixed on the white dress.

She felt that the s.h.i.+mmering fabric was a little familiar, but she couldn ‘t remember.

Madam Qu thought that it was probably some unpopular fabric, but it looked quite good. She would get someone to ask around and buy a few back.

Bai Wutong politely invited them into the house and even served exquisite snacks and tea. It was as if the cold treatment that Madam Qu had suffered previously had been her own imagination.

“What’s the matter, Madam Qu?”

Madam Qu entered the house and was even more satisfied with it.

Whether it was the sofa under her b.u.t.t or the decorations in the house, they all aligned with her aesthetics.

If she could buy the place for 200 taels, she did not have to redecorate it, and it would be worth it even if it was more expensive.

“Madam Bai, I like this house very much. I wonder if you can part with it?’ With that, the maidservant took out 200 taels of silver from her sleeve and placed it on the table.

Madam Qu wanted to use 200 taels to buy the house that Bai Wutong wanted to use as her home for the rest of her life. Anger instantly brewed in her chest.

Seeing the dark expression on Bai Wutong’s face, Madam Qu leisurely raised her teacup, her eyes filled with smugness.

The anger she had suffered from the previous day seemed to have been recovered and she felt comfortable.

Unexpectedly, Bai Wutong was not afraid of her status as the wife of the county magistrate of Pingyang County. She said aggressively, “Madam Qu, are you trying to force me to sell the house?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Qu’s expression changed drastically.

Before she could scold Bai Wutong, she heard her mocking laughter again. “Madam Qu doesn’t look like it’s the first time she’s forced a sale. I wonder if

Lord Qu knows.”

She was smiling, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Madam Qu was shocked.

Qu Yuanxian was upright, so Madam Qu naturally did not dare to do so openly. However, she would not refuse a New Year gift from someone else.

Otherwise, with Qu Yuanxian’s salary, how could he have helped Youjia Village?

It was all because of the money she had worked hard to save up that allowed them to survive.

It was thanks to her that Youjia Village managed to survive the winter. She was their savior.

This was also the reason why Madam Qu thought highly of herself in Youjia Village.

Madam Qu denied in panic, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m asking you if you’re selling the house for money! Did I force you?”
