Tong Xuean said, "When Young Master Liu came, he brought his cousin with him, and then..."

Tong Xuean briefly recounted the story, and after listening, Shu Mulu frowned. After a while, she sighed and said, "I was being too attached to appearances. From now on, you don't need to bring Cheng'er with you when you go out with Liu Shaoyi."

This statement indicates that she will no longer try to matchmake Liu Shaoyi and Tong Cheng'er.

Tong Cheng'er stood to the side, and upon hearing this, smiled and said, "Thank you, Mother."

Shumulu glared at her: "You really can laugh."

Tong Cheng'er asked in confusion, "Why can't you laugh?"

Shumulu couldn't understand her daughter's thought process, so she stopped responding and said to her son, "I never brought up the matter of matchmaking between Liu Shaoyi and Cheng'er in the open, so let's just drop it now. The Liu family has indeed been kind to our family. Even if Liu Shaoyi did something wrong to my cousin, his character is fine. We don't need to be too distant in the future; let's treat him as an ordinary friend!"

Tong Xuean: "Yes, son understands."

That evening, Shumulu told Alhatu about it.

After hearing this, Al-Hatu fell silent for a while. He had been quite satisfied with Liu Shaoyi's performance, but after hearing this, he realized the problem.

To be fair, Liu Shaoyi couldn't be said to have done anything wrong. He also acknowledged that what Yu Sirou did was wrong and apologized for it.

He had already chosen to help his cousin, who was family, but he might have feelings for Cheng'er. Subconscious choices don't lie.

Al-Hatu gave Liu Shaoyi another definition: he was somewhat indecisive and lacked the ability to judge character.
