Liu's words were meant for everyone to hear. From the bottom of her heart, she agreed with He Zong.

Although she is the aunt's mother, she is not He Yufen's biological mother after all. It is her duty to marry He Yufen mainly because it is her duty to marry well. If she does not marry well, she will inevitably end up complaining.

Even if there are no complaints like He Yufang's, when outsiders mention it, they always have to mention that it was her, the aunt's mother, who was in charge.

Now that He Zong was determined to take over the job, she was of course happy and relaxed.

After all, it wasn't her who gave birth to him, it was just a layer away.

It may be beneficial for He Yufen to marry well to the He family and her son. Of course, everyone is happy to hear and see this.

But in Aunt Li's heart, she still felt it was inappropriate. How could a woman run around and be serious at home?

The old man pondered for a long time and asked his son, "What do you mean by your wife?"

He knew what his son was like, but when it came to his daughter's marriage, how could he, a man who was busy with business all day long, take care of it?

"She listens to me." He Zong said.

He Zong only took this matter on himself, and he wanted everyone to know what he meant.

"Didn't you tell me to pay more attention to Yufen's marriage before? Now you have seen the situation. There are not many suitable families in Ye City."

He Yufen was his biological sister, so he was somewhat partial and didn't want her to get married to anyone she chose.

The old man thought for a while and asked someone to call He Yufen, "You two brothers and sisters, just talk, I don't care."

Everyone here understood, the old man had agreed, and now Aunt Li was even more anxious.

Mrs. Liu looked sideways at her, thinking that she would be anxious now.

In the past years, I had never seen her worry about the child. When He Zong was a child, he secretly went to find her and asked her to send her back. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg He Zong not to go to her again.

Later, He Yufen was born. Although the child was raised in her yard, she did not kiss the child, and she never even nursed the child.

She takes He Yufen to her yard every day, saying that she wants He Yufen to come and say hello to her mother. What can a child like that understand?

Anyway, Mrs. Liu has never seen her care about these two children. He Yufen is closer to herself than to her.

Later, she changed somewhat after having Lin'er, but in Liu's opinion, she was not close to the children.

So far, what has she done?
Only Aunt Li herself knew that in addition to the rules and regulations that women should not go out, there was also the loneliness in her heart.

She gave birth to two children. The eldest young master left, and he also took the fourth young lady with him. They were all gone.

Something buried deep in her heart had no choice but to come out, and she panicked.

He Zong asked He Yufang to come over, "Her sister-in-law had something to give her, and she just gave it to her in front of everyone."

Everyone thought it was something about the shop that Ruan Jiaojiao and He Yufang had discussed to open. They were surprised when He Yufang came and He Zong took out the land deed.

He Zong said it was an additional dowry, but now He Yufang has not remarried, and this additional dowry is too expensive, and it has to catch up with the dowry she received when she got married.

Looking at the content on the land deed, He Yufen felt hot, "It's too much, I can't take it."

"Your sister-in-law gave it to you, keep it safely."

He Zong spoke loudly, and there was no possibility of taking back what was given.

Holding the land deed, He Yufang looked to her father and mother for help. Liu didn't say anything. The old man took a deep look at his eldest son and made the decision for her to accept it.

"Since it was given to you by your eldest brother and sister-in-law, you can keep it with peace of mind. We are all members of the same family, so you don't have to be polite."

The old man said the word "family" a little too hard, but He Zong was not moved at all. He knew exactly what a family was.

However, in the past few months, he seemed to have had too much contact with the old house, and it was all because of his wife.Thinking to himself, He Zong subconsciously looked at Mrs. Liu, and when he saw Mrs. Liu looking at him, Mrs. Liu smiled.

She said, "Don't let down your elder brother and sister-in-law."

Aunt Li, who was standing next to her, squeezed her hand where no one saw it. What's the use of giving so many things to a woman who will eventually get married? It's more serious to leave them to the young master.

She didn't say anything, she just looked at He Zong fiercely.

But He Zong never looked at her, as if she didn't exist.

In my ears, I heard Mrs. Liu's voice talking to He Yufen. It sounded unreal, like I was dreaming and in the fog.

He Yufen has never had her own opinion on major matters. In the past, she always listened to her aunt, and she would do whatever her aunt arranged for her.

She has some ideas of her own, but she won't bring them up as long as they are irrelevant.

But now her aunt asked her if she wanted to go to Yongzhou with her eldest brother and sister-in-law. She looked at her aunt and then turned to her eldest brother in a daze.

This is not going out to attend a banquet, or staying at a racecourse for two days. Is it truly leaving home, or is it far, far away?

She doesn't know what to do, can she make up her own mind?

Standing with her, He Yufang, who had been trying to persuade others just now, advised her, "You can go if you want to, and don't want anything else."

He Yufang thought that if possible, she would also want to go out.

But she can't ignore it now, she still has Sheng Yang.

In the end, He Yufen nodded and said she was going, and He Zong asked her to pack her things as soon as possible and leave after the Lantern Festival.

After He Zong left, everyone else dispersed and went back to their rooms. Aunt Li and her daughter went back together.

On the way, Aunt Li looked at her fiercely and asked, "Who did you learn to be so unruly from? It was the Ruan family, right?

It's not the eldest young master who wants you to go, it's Ruan's idea. She is trying to harm you. "

Aunt Li lowered her voice, making her words sound even more depressing and unpleasant. The strange joy that He Yufen had just felt about going out was dashed away by a basin of cold water.

She turned to look at her aunt, trying to see some concern in her angry expression, but there was no one.

A feeling of powerlessness suddenly arose in her heart, as if all her strength was drained from her body.

Still outside, she didn't want to cause trouble with her, so she raised her feet and quickened her pace. When she returned to her residence, she said to her aunt at the door, "Auntie, please take care of yourself in the future."

Aunt Li watched her thin figure disappear into the door frame, and the panic in her heart became even more intense.

Something was flowing away from her. She wanted to grab it but couldn't.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when Ruan Jiaojiao and the others set off.

The He family sent them out of the city, and even Wei She came, with red eyes, telling her to pay attention to safety on the road and write more letters.

Several ladies who were good friends with her also came to say goodbye, and their eyes were red and they couldn't hold back tears.

Ruan Jiaojiao remembered the same scene half a year ago when she left Yangzhou.

Wei Yan didn't come to see her off. He went to Baoning City in person in advance and came to her home to say goodbye and have a drink with her before departure.

Before leaving, Ruan Jiaojiao looked at everyone who came to see her off. Her eyes fell on Aunt Li, and she didn't think she could see the sadness of the semi-parting separation on her face.

She wanted to squeeze He Zong's hand, but He Zong was riding a horse and she couldn't.
