Despite saying so, Muniang still felt somewhat distressed, yet she now understood Yu Ze's predicament and didn't want to make things difficult for him, so she decided to keep it to herself.
Yu Ze wrapped his arms around Muniang, apologizing, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
When it came to the matter of He Suxue, he had already caused Muniang sorrow far too many times, and this time, faced with such a grave situation, Muniang had kept it from him. His initial anger stemmed from this, but now that he thought about it, he seemed to have pushed her to this point himself.
"I didn't let He Suxue get hurt, I just scared her a bit and, incidentally, ruined her reputation. I didn't act too harshly, not because I don't have the courage or because I'm compassionate, but because I don't want you to feel bad. After all, she means something to you because of Yu Jin's promise."
Yu Ze tightened his arms: "I know."
