Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Telling Your Father about Matchmaking!

The Sun Family?

Qiao Xiaomai paused. Although she was familiar with the voice, it had been a long time since the Sun Family had visited.

Qiao Zhaodi stood up, “Sister Mai, should we open the door?”

“Open it,” Qiao Xiaomai nodded.

You can’t avoid dealing with the likes of the Sun Family, you have to face them head-on.

At these words, Qiao Zhaodi quickly went to open the door.

With the gate opened, a familiar old face from the Sun Family appeared. She was dressed in silk clothes, wearing a silver hairpin on her head, silver earrings on her ears, and a silver ring on her finger, holding a banana leaf fan in her hand, standing straight up, the perfect picture of a wealthy old matron.

Seeing Qiao Zhaodi, she immediately furrowed her brows, “Why is it you?”

“Grandmother,” called Qiao Zhaodi as she turned to walk towards Qiao Xiaomai.

In the past, the Sun Family had never treated the sisters with any respect, and both sisters were quite afraid of them.

Seeing Qiao Zhaodi ignoring her, the Sun Family matriarch frowned and entered the courtyard.

Upon seeing Qiao Changshun and Qiao Xiaomai, she quickly forget the sisters.

The sisters were now slaves and had nothing to do with her. She had come to see Qiao Changshun today on serious business!

“Changsun,” she forced a chrysanthemum-like smile on her face and walked towards the tree.

Qiao Changshun held the new clothes in his hand and said awkwardly, “Mother.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai immediately scrunched her eyebrows, “Father, have you forgotten the imperial decree handed down by Emperor Yongan?”

Their ties were severed, and it was done so formally in front of Emperor Yongan’s court!

How could he call her mother!

“Call her Sun Family,” she spoke coldly.

Qiao Changshun clenched the clothes in his hands, his face reddening.

Could he really address her directly as Sun Family?

No, no, no.

He could never do that, even if their ties were severed, in his heart, she would still be his mother, and behaving otherwise was inconceivable to him.

The matron from the Sun Family watched all of this, her smile never leaving her face, “Changsun, since you’re accustomed to calling me mother, then continue to do so. After all, it’s just a formality. We, indeed, have severed our ties.”

Everyone in the courtyard was surprised at her words.

Since when had the matron from the Sun Family become so agreeable?

And so understanding and reasonable!

The sun must be rising from the west!

It was as if she hadn’t noticed the people’s astonishment. She planted herself on a stool and gestured to Qiao Yindi, “Go, fetch me a bowl of water.”

Walking here in the sweltering midday heat had left her parched.

As she spoke, she fluttered the fan in her hand.

The fan was made from white silk, embroidered with a scene of butterflies playing among flowers.

Qiao Xiaomai looked at the fan, scoffed, and said, “Given our situation, the mere fact that I didn’t kick you out immediately is a sign of goodwill. If you have something to say, speak quickly.”

You want to drink water?

The water in her house was all from Spiritual Spring. She’d sooner give it to dogs than let the Sun Family drink it.

Upon hearing these words, the smile on the matron from the Sun Family froze momentarily. However, she didn’t get angry; instead, she smiled even more intensely.

She looked at Qiao Changshun, fluttered her fan, and her smile widened, “Changsun, there’s good news!”

Qiao Changshun stared blankly at the woman from the Sun Family, his face vacant.

He was thinking about when was the last time she smiled at him like this, he didn’t pay attention to her words at all.

Qiao Xiaomai frowned and asked, “What good news?”

“A marriage proposal. I am here to negotiate a good marriage for your father. With your father’s lame leg, we need to find a kind-hearted person to take good care of him,” the Sun Family matron’s face breaking into a smile as blooming as a chrysanthemum.
