But halfway through her scolding, she remembered that this was her own daughter, who had already lost her reputation and probably wanted to die, so she couldn't bear to do it.
"You specially invited everyone to admire the flowers, and then you let these two roll around in a mess here. This is your Wei residence! Without the host's arrangement, how could they have accomplished this!"
"Alright, that's embarrassing enough. I don't want to say anything more to you. Ladies, I apologize for offending your eyes, but please go outside and wait a bit, and save them some face." Cen Ying snorted coldly and gestured for them to leave.
No one lingered any longer; they'd already seen the excitement.
"Madam, Madam, a wandering Taoist priest has come to the manor. He says there is a very bad omen for our manor today and wants to have his fortune told." A maid rushed in from outside.
Cen Jie was already overwhelmed with worries when she heard this, which only made her more agitated. It was like adding insult to injury.
"Send them away. If you can't, go and fetch the master!"
"The master is drunk and has already retired for the night. That Taoist priest can't be driven away at all. He keeps saying it's an ominous sign, and we can't ignore it."

When her daughter and son both made mistakes, she clearly favored her son.
"Mother, what can you do? I've mentioned it to you before, but you wouldn't budge and even scolded me. Isn't it all because you and Aunt don't get along? In the end, you're still going to marry me off to someone else, aren't you?"
After everyone else left, Wei Jiao finally snapped.
At this moment, she was filled with regret and shame, wishing she could find a rope to hang herself, but at the same time she was still resentful towards her own mother.
If Cen Jie hadn't delayed arranging a marriage between her and her cousin, she wouldn't be in this predicament, in such an embarrassing situation!
