"......"

I didn't expect my mother to be so humorous.

That day, Zhong Lai was driven out of the house, and all he had left was a single layer of clothing. But Manager Lin was still not satisfied, and he sent someone to beat him up secretly. Although he did not confiscate all his money, he still could not fill all the gaps.

A few days later, Hua Yuerong came over.

"Miss Hua is here again. It seems to be about Zhong Lai's matter."

Jin's mother was also annoyed. She had felt sorry for Hua Yuerong because she lost her mother at an early age, but now she realized that Hua Yuerong was confused and didn't know how Zhong Lai could make Hua Yuerong willing to help him.

Tu Yufan speculated that at this time the heroine and the hero were probably already in love with each other, and the heroine saw the hero's predicament and wanted to do her best to help her.

"Send her away. She has already been engaged to the Chen family, and Yufan has returned home. If something happens, it will be bad for both of their reputations." Jin's mother said to the maid.

"yes."

After saying this, Jin's mother no longer cared about the matter.

.......

On this side, the Hua family was in an uproar.

Before, after Zhong Lai left Jin Mansion, he was put in a sack and beaten, resulting in both legs being broken.

The Zhong family had no money for treatment, so Hua Yuerong came to Zhong Lai's house in person and called a doctor for him. After some treatment, although he was still unable to walk, he could walk slowly.

Hua's mother was almost furious. She asked, "How can you be so shameless that you secretly went to see a man outside of your family? You are engaged now. If the Chen family knew about this, what would they think?"

Hua Yuerong defended herself aggrievedly: "My daughter felt that Zhong Lai was too pitiful. He was driven out of the Jin Mansion and was penniless. His legs were also broken by thieves. When my daughter was in the Jin Mansion, he also took care of me."

Hua's mother snorted coldly, "What does it have to do with you if someone else is pitiful? Why are you pretending to be a bodhisattva? You must have taken a fancy to his boy. I heard he's a scholar, so he can at least give you some money. Do you really need to come and get close to him? You have no shame."

"I know my mother doesn't like me, so why should I slander my daughter and belittle her as being good for nothing?" Hua Yuerong's eyes dimmed and she lowered her head and bit her lower lip.

Hua's mother felt very upset. It was such a pity for Hua Yuerong's face. Although Hua's mother did not come from a poor family, she would not be so petty. After all, her biological mother died early and there was no one to discipline her.

The two parted unhappily. Hua's mother knew that she had said too much and she would have to cry to the master again. She was about to marry into the Chen family and nothing could happen. Hua's mother ordered the servants to keep a close eye on her in the next few days and not let her do anything out of line.

......

These few days, Butler Zhang Xingyi came over and wanted to invite Tu Yufan to come over for a chat.

When Tu Yufan mentioned Zhuangzi, Zhang Xingyi asked directly, "When are you going to the Ji family in the capital to propose marriage?"

"What happened?"

Why does everyone think that she will never get married, including herself?

"Niece Suzhi is not young anymore. I think the Ji family must be trying to find a boyfriend for her."

Tu Yufan said helplessly: "Will a mother harm her own child? Sir Zhang, can you give me a clear answer?"
