With little choice but to agree, Li Yuhua finally relented and told Liu Jinhui everything at least, everything she was willing to share.
Even then, her best friend found it hard to believe, her expression shifting between shock and disbelief as she listened.
By the time Li Yuhua returned home, the matter had already spread throughout the clan.
The moment she stepped inside, the first person she saw was her daughter, Li Zhiyan, who was clearly waiting for her.
"Mother… is what they're saying true?" Li Zhiyan asked, her voice trembling slightly. "You spent the night with Young Master Lin Feng?"
The news had become the talk of the clan by morning, spreading faster than wildfire.
It was obvious to anyone with sense that the matriarch had played a role in this, likely hoping to tighten the bond between the Li Clan and Lin Feng even further.
Li Yuhua remained silent for a few breaths, her expression calm but unreadable.
Then, slowly, she nodded.
