Daohua saw Madam Li leisurely tending to the flowers and plants, glanced at the darkening sky and said, "Mother, father has gone to Shuangxin Courtyard."
Madam Li did not turn around, continuing to prune the potted plants, and indifferently said, "Isn't it normal for your dad to stay overnight at Shuangxin Courtyard? What's so important about that?"
Daohua was silent. She didn't believe that Madam Li did not understand what she meant, "Mother, you refused Madam Zhu today. Aunt Lin and the third sister will surely talk to father about it."
Madam Li was unmoved, "Let them talk. It's not as if it's something scandalous."
Daohua tilted her head and looked at Madam Li, wondering if she really didn't get her point, or if she was just pretending not to know.
"Mother, what if father, influenced by the people at Shuangxin Courtyard, agrees to let Zhu Xiuyun come to our family for her studies?"
