"Are you here to add to the chaos?" Meng Yuhuai glanced at him coolly, "How are we supposed to intervene in this matter? Zhou Qing is Yunyun's biological father. If Yunyun were still an apprentice, perhaps Xiaomai could say a thing or two, but now that she has completed her apprenticeship, are we not to allow her father to seek another path for her? I thought that if nothing else works, we'd have to pay out of our own pocket to buy Yunyun's indenture contract and immediately give it back to her, so she wouldn't enter into servitude, thus it wouldn't affect her at all—but do you really feel comfortable giving Silver to a man like Zhou Qing?"
Meng's mother came out with a dish of braised meat and placed it on the table; hearing this, she gave Meng Yuhuai a stern look, as if blaming him for his lack of tact, shook her head, and turned back into the kitchen.
