He yelled at the servant, "Are you dead? Close the door right now!"
The servant obsequiously replied, "Yes!"
Then he immediately pushed the person at the door away, closed the door, and stood guard at the door with Shi Lingqiao's two maids.
After the door to the private room closed, Shi Lingqiao's eyes welled up with tears of grievance, and she punched Huo Jiwen a few times, "It's all your fault! Your aunt suddenly pulled this stunt, do you even care about my reputation anymore?"
Huo Jiwen let her hit him, then hugged her, saying, "I didn't expect my aunt to suddenly rush in."

He believed that as long as he persisted with some methods, his mother would eventually give in.
Shi Lingqiao threw herself into his arms, "I believe you, you're so good to me."
She now has only one way out, which is to get Huo Jiwen to marry her as soon as possible.

So what if we used underhanded tactics?
After she married into the Duke's mansion, she used that old woman to regain her reputation.
Moreover, once she becomes the head of the household in the Duke's mansion, no one can say what they are thinking; on the contrary, they have to flatter and fawn over her.
