When Qu Lianghua returned to Pingyang County, he could not eat or drink all day. Even Qu Xin'er was in low spirits.
After Madam Qu found out from her husband that Qu Lianghua had fallen in love with Cui Lingyi at first sight and was rejected by her, she was very angry.
In the eyes of a mother, her son was the best. Cui Lingyi should be grateful that he had taken a fancy to a widow.
But she actually rejected him.
Madam Qu felt that Cui Lingyi was either arrogant or playing hard to get. She wanted to take her future mother-in-law down a notch.
Madam Qu did not want her to get what she wanted, so she immediately found the best matchmaker in Pingyang County to find a suitable wife for Qu Lianghua.
She had to find a virtuous daughter-in-law who would catch Qu Lianghua's eye and make Cui Lingyi feel ashamed of herself.
