Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Hua Jiayong stayed overnight in the brothel and left only when it was dawn.

After returning, he went to the inn, booked a room, took a shower and changed clothes, then went to the pharmacy to pick up Lin and go back to the village together.

Lin woke up in the middle of the night yesterday and learned that she had been abandoned in the clinic by her husband. She felt very disappointed, but she did not dare to complain. If her father-in-law made a fuss about it, she would not get any benefits. She could not anger her husband at this time, otherwise he would be the first person to deal with her.

After returning to Huajia Village, Hua Jiayong had Lin helped back to her courtyard, while he took the initiative to go to the clan leader's courtyard to apologize.

They did not return all night, and the old patriarch thought they were staying overnight at Hua Mansion. However, as soon as his son came back, he knelt down to him. The old patriarch immediately understood something and his face darkened.

Hua Jiayong stole a glance at his father's gloomy face from the corner of his eye. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly lowered his head. However, the matter was beyond his control. Even if he was scolded or beaten, he had to tell his father everything.

After hearing what Hua Jiayong said, the old patriarch's expression did not ease, but it did not become even uglier either. He just didn't say a word, and Hua Jiayong felt uneasy.

It’s not that the old patriarch didn’t want to talk, but he couldn’t understand why Hua Feifan was so angry that he actually turned them away. Was he planning to abandon their Hua family?

Without Hua Feifan, Huajia Village would inevitably be retaliated against. He dared not imagine what the situation of Huajia Village would be like then.

The old patriarch was silent for a long time, then he said coldly: "Go, gather all the people who were in the backyard that day. I want to interrogate them personally."

When Hua Jiayong heard his father use the word "interrogation", his heart seemed to be hit hard by something, but he could only respond with "yes" and personally go and order everyone to be gathered.

After one stick of incense, all the people who were in the backyard that day appeared in the old man's yard. Even Lin, who had just been carried back to the mansion, was brought over.

Seeing that she was really seriously injured, the old patriarch asked her to sit aside and everyone else stood.

In addition to them, the men of these women also came with them. Except for the children, almost all the masters in the family came to the old man's yard.

When Hua Jiayong ordered people to gather together, he did not specify what the matter was, but since the old man was looking for them, they did not dare to delay.

The old patriarch looked at his descendants and grandchildren in front of him. There were no less than thirty people in the whole family, not counting the children.

Obviously, they were a large family with a large population, but they were no match for Hua Feifan's family of less than ten people. The old patriarch felt very complicated.

He is of the same generation as Hua Feifan's father. He cannot compare to Hua Feifan's father because he does not have enough resources to support his study hard.

The village had a clan school at an early age, so it could be said that all his children were educated. However, the bad boy in his family, whether he was a legitimate son or a illegitimate son, could not be compared with Hua Feifan. Even the seven brothers combined could not compare with Hua Feifan.

The only thing about him that is better than Hua Feifan's father is that he has more children than him. He also has more children than Hua Feifan.

Facts have proved that having many children does not necessarily mean a prosperous family. Of Hua Feifan's sons, one has already become a juren and will take part in the imperial examination next year, and the other has already become the famous "Second Young Master" of Shacheng at a young age and is in charge of the entire Hua family's business. Although the third son has no future for the time being, his martial arts skills are obvious to all. With his martial arts skills, he may not be bad in the future.

What made him most unwilling was that he adopted a daughter and carefully cultivated this daughter who had no blood relationship with the Hua family. Until last year, he still complained that Hua Feifan would rather spend his money and resources on outsiders than give any to the girls in the clan.

The outsider whom he had always regarded as a money-losing commodity actually chose a man whose potential was no less than any nobleman in Sand City. Moreover, that man treated Hua Feifan and his wife as his own parents and gave the prescription to Hua Feifan without paying for it.

The only thing that makes him more successful than Hua Feifan's father is that he lives longer than him, but is such a life really meaningful?

The crowd waited for a long time for the old man to speak, and they didn't dare to breathe. They all lowered their heads, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

When the old patriarch saw this scene, his heart choked again. He wished he could just let them go and pretend that they didn't see it.

But it won't work. If Hua Feifan can't be calmed down and he starts to think about leaving the Hua family, not only him as the clan leader, but the entire Huajia Village will cease to exist.

Over the years, they have relied on the support of the Hua family to do countless things that have caused resentment and revenge. Once the Hua family spreads the news, those people will definitely pounce on them and tear a piece of flesh and blood from them!

"I want to know what happened in the backyard yesterday and why the Thirteenth Daughter-in-law left in anger?" The old patriarch glanced at everyone present with a sharp gaze, "If anyone dares to conceal it, I don't mind dealing with all of you."

After the people present understood what the old man meant, the women couldn't help but shudder. What happened in the backyard would definitely be blamed on them, and the way out for them would be nothing more than divorce or selling.

"Clan leader, I don't know. I just learned that the noble person was visiting your house, and the lady ordered me to attend and talk to him, but I didn't say a word. I hope the clan leader can check it out." A young woman knelt down to explain.

She was the wife of the old patriarch's youngest son, who had been married for less than a year. Her family had some money and land, so she had read some books and spoke differently from ordinary country women.

After the first person stood up, others knelt down one after another to prove their innocence. These people just served as a background wall.

To be precise, most people were just there as a background wall. The only ones who dared to speak to the nobleman were the grandmother Lin, who was in charge of the family, and little Liu, who had always relied on Hua Jiayong's favor, and said a few more words.

Soon, Xiao Liu was pushed out by everyone.

Hua Jiayong also thought of what Lin had mentioned at that time, that Xiao Liu wanted to give Hua Murong a woman, so he raised his hand and slapped her. Xiao Liu fell to the ground, but she didn't dare to make a fuss.

Compared to the pain on her face, she was more afraid that the old patriarch would put all the blame on her.

Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, Xiao Liu decisively chose to drag Lin into the water: "Patriarch, I was confused for a moment, but I am also doing this for our family!

People with the same surname in the Hua family cannot marry each other. If I want to have a closer relationship with the Hua family, I can only be related by marriage. It just so happens that my niece is of good age and looks good, so I...

Moreover, this was tacitly agreed by the Madam. Otherwise, how could I, a mere concubine, bring outsiders to meet the noble with openness?

I only became interested when I heard Madam and her maid discussing this matter. I admit that I had selfish motives, but everything I did was for our lineage!"
