The two were playing around in the carriage when, by chance, the carriage ran over a stone, causing it to lurch and Yindi to fall headfirst into Liu Rufeng's arms.
Liu Rufeng was worried that Yindi would fall, so he quickly wrapped his arms around her. It was just a subconscious action, but the actual situation was far too ambiguous.
Both of them were a little flustered, and the car fell silent. Yindi could hear Liu Rufeng's rapid heartbeat, and Liu Rufeng could feel Yindi's slight trembling. Although they were flustered, the feeling of being moved touched their hearts.
Whether it was intentional on Baogen's part or purely coincidental, just as Yindi was struggling to get up, the carriage jolted again, and Liu Rufeng took the opportunity to pull Yindi into his arms once more.
Liu Rufeng suggested, "I think you'd better not move. I've found that whenever we encounter this situation, the more we move, the worse it gets."
Yindi retorted defiantly, "I don't want to get so close to someone as glib as you!"
Liu Rufeng didn't know if Yindi was shy or if she really thought he was a lecher. He quickly comforted her, "Girl, I've been very careful around you before because I didn't want to ruin your reputation. Now that we have your mother's permission, we're on the right track, so I dare to hold your hand and tell you how much I miss you!"
The car was dimly lit, and Yindi could barely see Liu Rufeng's face, but she always felt that Liu Rufeng's burning gaze was fixed on her, making her blush.
"Stop talking!" Yindi said shyly.

"Okay, that's enough!" Liu Rufeng hugged Yindi and stopped talking.
The two of them nestled together quietly, not daring to move, feeling both joy and excitement.
“Mr. Liu, we’ve arrived at the private school,” Bao Gen’s voice broke the silence.
The two were startled and quickly jumped back. However, because their movements were too sudden, they both bumped into the car.
Ignoring his own pain, Liu Rufeng rushed over to ask Yindi, "Girl, are you alright?"
Yindi was afraid that Baogen would lift the carriage curtain, so she quickly hid behind him, waving her hands and saying, "You should get off now!"
Liu Rufeng had no choice but to get out of the carriage, thank Baogen, and then lift the curtain to say goodbye to Yindi before leaving.
Before leaving, he turned back to Bao Gen and said, "Brother Bao Gen, please slow down the car. It's too bumpy for Yin Di in the back."
Bao Gen agreed with a smile, but Liu Rufeng felt that the smile had a deeper meaning.
He had just been riding in the same car with Yindi and felt that time had flown by. Little did he know that Baogen had deliberately taken a detour around the outskirts of the city so that they could talk more.

Now that the person has been delivered, he naturally wants to ride back as fast as he can along the main road.
Baogen still spoke to Yindi through the carriage curtain: "Second sister, sit tight. It's getting late, I'll hurry up!"
Yindi naturally remained noncommittal.
Back at Tang's place, everyone rested. Yindi thanked Baogen, but involuntarily walked to Xu Lanzhi's room and saw that the light inside was still on.
She wanted to go in, but was afraid of disturbing her mother. She wanted to go back inside, but felt uneasy and uncomfortable, so she stood at the door in a daze.
Xu Lanzhi asked gently from inside the house, "Yindi, is that you back?"
Yindi took a deep breath and said, "Mother, it's me back. Are you asleep?"
Xu Lanzhi didn't answer Yindi's question, but said directly, "Come in!"
Yindi mustered her courage and went inside, only to find Xu Lanzhi still sitting under the lamp doing needlework.
Yindi walked over, put her hands on Xu Lanzhi's shoulders and asked, "Niang, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? Why did you decide to do needlework again?"

Xu Lanzhi reached out and tugged at Yindi's hand, saying, "You haven't come back yet, so I can't sleep! My second daughter must be tired too, go to sleep!"
Yindi leaned on Xu Lanzhi's shoulder from behind and said, "Mother, won't Qiqi sleep with you tonight?"
Xu Lanzhi laughed: "I'm going to share a bed with Niandi and Pandi!"
Yindi said coquettishly, "Can I sleep with Mother tonight? I haven't slept with Mother in so long!"
Xu Lanzhi smiled kindly: "You're almost getting married and you're still sleeping with your mother, aren't you ashamed!"
Yindi blushed and said, "I won't get married. I want to stay with my mother for the rest of my life!"
"You said it yourself, so when Mr. Liu comes to propose, that's what I'll tell him!"
Yindi stamped her foot and said, "Mother, you're joking with your daughter too!"
Xu Lanzhi tidied Yindi's hair and said, "Alright, Mother won't tease you anymore. Go wash up and go to bed!"
Yindi really stayed in Xu Lanzhi's room and wouldn't leave. The two of them lay in the same quilt, and Xu Lanzhi felt a long-lost warmth.

She felt increasingly guilty towards her three eldest daughters. In order to have a son, she had one child after another, either pregnant or breastfeeding. She really didn't take good care of the first few children.
Especially the younger sisters Zhaodi, Yindi, and Jiedi, who were still children themselves, had to help take care of their younger sisters and share the housework. They suffered so much hardship and pain.
Later, when life got better and the children were able to eat and dress warmly, the three sisters were busy helping with the family business and drifted further and further away from their own lives.
Xu Lanzhi patted Yindi like a little child and said, "Second daughter, you sisters have worked so hard all these years. I'm sorry for making you shoulder the burden of the family so early!"
Yindi was thinking about how to apologize to her mother, but she couldn't bring herself to speak. Then she heard her mother apologize to her first, and tears involuntarily rolled down her cheeks.
Yindi could no longer hold back; she turned around, hugged Xu Lanzhi, and burst into tears.
Xu Lanzhi hugged her and comforted her, saying, "Don't cry, Er Yatou. I know you've been wronged. I've made up my mind. I'll visit you and your sisters more often from now on, so my Er Yatou won't have to suffer so much!"
Yindi cried for a while before she stopped. She sobbed, "Mother, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have talked to you like that. I shouldn't have gotten angry at you before you finished speaking. And I shouldn't have said anything about you and Erzhuzi. I'm sorry, Mother. Please don't be angry with me anymore!"
Xu Lanzhi hugged Yindi and said, "Silly child, how could a mother be angry with her child? It's my fault for jumping to conclusions without properly understanding Liu Rufeng. Please don't blame your mother!"
Yindi nestled in Xu Lanzhi's arms and said, "Mother, are you really not going to? I made up the story about Uncle Erzhuzi. Please don't take it to heart, okay?"

Xu Lanzhi sighed and said, "It was Mother's fault for doing that, how could Mother blame you!"
To put Xu Lanzhi at ease, Yindi said, "Mother, I know you and Uncle Erzhuzi are completely innocent. Mother and Father have such a good relationship, I believe you would never look at anyone else."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lanzhi felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Yindi knew that her mother was not angry with her, and her anxious heart finally relaxed.
She tilted her head and asked, "Mother, what did you say to Liu Rufeng? No matter how I ask, he won't tell me. He just says that you are the best mother in the world!"
