Only then did Yun Yao notice that there was a cup of cold green tea on the table, but she didn't care too much.

"Zeng Fang, what's the matter with you suddenly looking for me?"

"Yes, there is something."

Zeng Fang looked at her without any emotion, "Yun Yao, let's make a deal."

Before coming, Yun Yao had thought of many things. Perhaps Zeng Fang would ask her to keep a secret, or perhaps she would seek comfort from her. But she never expected that Zeng Fang would come straight to the point and ask her to make a deal.

However, she could probably guess what the deal Zeng Fang was talking about was. It was nothing more than trying to bribe her with benefits.

Yun Yao said confidently, "Zeng Fang, don't worry, I haven't told anyone about your situation, and I won't tell anyone in the future..."

"Then how did your father know?" Zeng Fang interrupted her calmly.

Yun Yao quickly explained, "I was too anxious at the time, worried that something might happen to you, but don't worry, only my dad knows about this..."

"What about your mother? Doesn't she know either? She even came to my house."

Yun Yao: “…”

After being slapped in the face repeatedly, Yun Yao was extremely embarrassed and had no way to defend herself.

"Yun Yao, you should know how important chastity and reputation are to a girl. If this matter gets out, I won't want to live anymore. If I say something I shouldn't, Yun Yao, I believe you can understand me."

"Zeng Fang, why can't I understand what you are saying?"

Zeng Fang didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the story of how Yun Yao stole money, ruined Huang Yu's marriage, and indirectly caused Yang Xinghua to break her leg.

When Yun Yao heard that Yang Xinghua broke her leg while going up the mountain to dig herbs to pay off her debts, her face changed.

Once the news of stealing money spreads, her character will be questioned. That's fine, after all, there are reasons for stealing money. But if she is also accused of almost killing her elders, then she will be unfaithful and unfilial. By then, she will surely become a white wolf eye that everyone despises. Not to mention the engagement with the Su family, she may not be able to gain a foothold in the upper class circle of Jiang City.

"Zeng Fang, how do you know all this? Yun Mo told you, right?!"

Zeng Fang lowered her eyelashes and did not directly answer Yun Yao's question, "Yun Yao, if I am doing well, I will naturally keep your past a secret."

Yun Yao was angry and anxious, "Zeng Fang, don't trust Yun Mo. She just can't stand seeing me doing well. Don't let her use you!"

"It doesn't matter if I benefit from it or not. I only have one request now. If I can survive, I will naturally leave a way for you to survive. We can all live better. Otherwise, we will sink together."

"What if someone else spread it? Can you blame me for it?"

"Then I don't care. Anyway, if I can't survive, I will definitely drag someone down with me. Yunyao, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for your bad luck. No, it should be me who is unlucky. I shouldn't have known you, let alone gotten close to you!"

"Zeng Fang, you are so unreasonable. How can you blame me for this?"

"I don't blame you? Wasn't it you who dragged me to the Ling family? Wasn't it you who left me and ran away when you realized the problem? Wasn't it you who stood by and watched him die without helping? Yun Yao, I don't want to say anything more now. As long as this matter hasn't been spread out, I will naturally help you conceal your shame. Otherwise, no matter whether you spread it out or not, I will only look for you."

"Zeng Fang, you really disappoint me. You will regret it sooner or later if you get involved with Yun Mo!"

After saying this, Yun Yao left angrily.

Seeing the door of the private room being slammed shut, Zeng Fang's straight back suddenly bent, and she slumped in the chair like a deflated ball.

Yun Mo pushed the door open and Zeng Fang subconsciously stood up to greet her, looking very excited, "I did everything you said."

Yun Mo smiled and nodded, "Well, how do you feel?"

Zeng Fang exhaled lightly, "It's not as difficult as I thought, but can this really stop the rumors?"

“I dare not say it is 100%, but it can largely prevent someone from deliberately spreading rumors and slandering you. You were with Yun Yao when the incident happened. As long as she is willing to conceal it for you and take care of it, even if outsiders hear any rumors, they will just treat it as a rumor.

Zeng Fang, this is not your fault. You were just bitten by a vicious dog by accident. There is no need to feel inferior, let alone belittle yourself. If anyone dares to make fun of you or humiliate you with this incident, you should beat her hard until she is afraid of you and dares not to gossip about you anymore."

"But……"

"It's wrong to hit someone, but to allow others to trample on your wounds is to be cruel to yourself. Zeng Fang, remember one thing, some things are not worthy of occupying your emotions. Life is short, enjoy it to the fullest and do whatever you want."

Zeng Fang woke up as if from a dream, with excitement on her face, "Yun Mo, you are right."

"Yun Mo, what should we do next?"

Zeng Fang didn't realize that the look in her eyes when she looked at Yun Mo was sparkling, just like a little fan girl looking at her idol, full of admiration and trust.

Yun Mo snapped her fingers, "Of course we're going to settle accounts with the culprit."

Yun Mo brought Zeng Fang to the hotel where she was staying. The two of them stayed in the room and discussed for a long time. Afterwards, Zeng Fang went home, and Yun Mo went back to the Ling family's small courtyard early the next morning.

Li Li was not at home, probably because she went out to buy groceries. Ling Chunhua was cleaning the house.

"Spring flowers."

"Aunt!"

Seeing Yun Mo, Ling Chunhua dropped the broom and ran over happily, hugging her legs affectionately and acting coquettishly.

Compared with her previous shyness, Ling Chunhua is now much more open in front of her.

Yun Mo touched the other's soft and furry head, and like a magic trick, she took out a pair of pink bow hairbands. On the bows hung a string of beautiful tassel beads, which made crisp sounds when shaken.

Probably due to malnutrition, Ling Chunhua's hair is sparse and very soft. Usually Li Li doesn't take care of her daughter. Every day Ling Chunhua combs her hair with a comb and ties a ponytail behind her head with red wool.

While running around outside these days, Yun Mo noticed that many little girls on the street were wearing this kind of hairband. She thought it was very suitable for Ling Chunhua, so she bought a pair.

"Hey, this is for you."

Ling Chunhua stared at the hair tie for a long time, then slowly put her hands behind her back and looked at Yun Mo with her big eyes like black grapes, "Aunt, I don't want it."

"Why not? Don't you like it?"

"This costs money, and I can't always spend my aunt's money."

Yun Mo was very pleased and distressed by her little niece's understanding.
