She used her Qinggong to swiftly return to the small courtyard where she lived. After entering the courtyard, she stood there for a long while, still feeling that this matter simply could not wait until tomorrow to find Liu Chenglin.
So, with a light leap, she scaled the wall and jumped into Liu Chenglin’s courtyard. When she landed, she didn’t dampen her force, hoping the person inside would hear the commotion and save her the trouble of knocking.
However, even when she reached the door, no one came out from inside. As she approached, she discovered the door wasn’t locked. It was obvious, even without looking inside, that no one was home.
Today’s matter is too important, she thought. I don’t want any complications and only want to discuss it with someone trustworthy.

Old Master Qin glanced unhappily at his eldest son. "When our two families arranged this marriage, many people knew. Even if she voluntarily broke off the engagement and took the compensation, it’s ultimately our Qin Family that is in the wrong."
"And don’t think I’m unaware that your wife goes around town disparaging that girl, Yunyi. Tell her to watch herself and not make the Qin Family a laughingstock."
Qin Hongling knew his wife was somewhat snobbish, but who wouldn’t want good in-laws for their son? He could understand that. "Dad, the Long Family has been waiting for our reply. What are your thoughts?"
