After a good cry, Gou Dan's mother felt a little better. She pleaded with Yang Family, "Sister-in-law, you have to help me keep this a secret. Otherwise, people will think my Meizi did something scandalous—first promised to Qingmu, then breaking it off for Changming. It's all my fault. I'm so foolish. I saw she was upset lately and always coming to see Juhua, so I took it upon myself to think, 'Could it be she likes Qingmu?' That's why I asked Grandma Huang to approach you. Who knew I'd be so wrong? She might have had the idea in her head, but she never did anything. It's all my fault for making such a mess."
Yang Family quickly assured her, "Don't you worry. Am I the type to gossip?" 'That time I had that huge fight with Liu'er's mother, I never blabbed about Liu'er's situation,' she thought. 'I'd be even less likely to talk about Meizi.'
