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

Xiao Liu kept saying that she was doing it for their family, and she admitted that she had selfish motives, but there was some truth to what she said.

The old patriarch looked at Lin, and everyone followed suit and looked at Lin. Lin was so angry!

She really thought so, and she deliberately turned a blind eye to let Xiao Liu make a fuss, but she would not admit it.

Lin's frail face was very haggard, she held back her tears and said hesitantly, "Yes, I shouldn't have told you to accompany me in the backyard because I felt sorry for you.

In previous years, when Thirteenth Cousin-law came to visit, the backyard was always deserted. She was always in low spirits, and the sisters had no chance to make friends with her.

Due to the difference in status, I have always forbidden you to have any contact with Thirteenth Cousin's wife, for fear of offending her.

I usually don't put on airs of status and have always interacted with all the sisters sincerely. A few years ago, my thirteenth cousin's wife accepted a man from the same country as her son-in-law. I thought I had misunderstood my cousin's wife, so I notified all the sisters to go over and talk to her.

Unexpectedly..." Lin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Dad, I was self-righteous and asked the sisters to come over to talk to my cousin's wife, but I never said that I wanted to find a girl for Murong!

Dad, you know me well. If I really wanted to do this, why didn't I choose a girl from my mother's family a few years ago so that the young people could get to know each other? Why wait until Murong was about to reach adulthood?"

Xiao Liu didn't expect that Lin would refuse to admit it. That's right, if it were her, she would not admit it either. However, if this continued, she would become the culprit!

Xiao Liu started brainstorming, thinking of ways to remedy the situation.

It was not difficult for the old patriarch to guess what they were thinking. They all wanted to give Hua Murong women, climb up the power of the Hua family, and thereby consolidate their status in the family.

They do have selfish motives, but for him, these motives have both advantages and disadvantages. If they can have a marriage relationship with the Hua family, their family's position in Huajia Village will be more solid. Don't think that he doesn't know that those old men want to take the opportunity to pull him down so that they can become the patriarch.

Furthermore, although they are all from the Hua family, their relationship with the Hua family has been passed down to the present day, and his grandfather and Hua Feifan's great-grandfather are only cousins, so his relationship is already beyond the five degrees of mourning.

To be precise, the entire Huajia Village is Hua Feifan's relative within the five generations. After all, ever since his great-grandfather moved to Sand City, his brothers and children also followed him to live in Sand City.

They all bought small courtyards in the city. With the support of the Hua family, they became city dwellers early on. Except for the Qingming Festival, they rarely returned to Huajia Village.

The old patriarch didn't mind his daughter-in-law recommending her family to Hua Feifan. With this relationship, their family could have a closer relationship with the Hua family.

But, that's just his idea.

If he were Hua Feifan, he would definitely not be willing to let his son marry a country girl. So, Thirteenth wife would be angry and leave. Was it also on Thirteenth Lang's behalf?

If this is the case, it is understandable that they would be so angry, but, isn't it a bit too much to be so angry that they refuse to let you in?

After some questioning, the old patriarch was sure that it was just a little thought between women, and, not many words were said, and it was not that they said anything wrong. It was probably that the Thirteenth Daughter-in-law was dissatisfied with their plan to introduce a country girl as a daughter-in-law to her son.

After deep thought, the old patriarch finally decided on the punishment: "All of you will be grounded for half a year, and fined one year's salary. Also, without my permission, you are not allowed to have any contact with your mother's family. Otherwise, go back to your mother's family!"

After saying that, the old patriarch glanced at the people who were not involved and said, “As for you, you are also not allowed to have any contact with your mother’s family without my permission.

During the period when the eldest daughter-in-law is under house arrest, the third daughter-in-law will be in charge of the household. Okay, everyone go back, Dayong stay."

After they left, the old patriarch ordered the butler to prepare generous gifts, and then asked Hua Jiayong to go along. He went to apologize to Hua Feifan in person, as he didn't believe that Hua Feifan would be so cruel as to turn him away.

Hua Jiayong thought it was feasible when he heard it. Besides, since his father said so himself, he just needed to obey.

As it turned out, the old patriarch still overestimated his importance in Hua Feifan's heart, and he was also turned away.

The old patriarch thought he had heard wrongly and confirmed again: "Is Thirteen really not in the mansion?"

"Yes, the master and his wife left an hour ago." Zhao Tong was the one responsible for stopping people today. He had a stern face and spoke in a businesslike tone.

"Do you know where he went?"

"I don't know."

"Can you help me ask him? I need to see him for something urgent. If it's not convenient for him to come back, then we will go find him."

The old man in front of him was the patriarch of the Hua family. Zhao Tong knew him. If such an old man got into trouble in front of the Hua Mansion, it would have a bad impact on the head of the family.

So, Zhao Tong responded to the request to go down and ask about the whereabouts of the head of the family, but still did not let the person go.

The old patriarch returned to the carriage to warm himself by the fire; it was still quite cold outside and his old body could not stand it.

Hua Jiayong was very dissatisfied and complained to the clan leader in a low voice: "What kind of attitude is that? He is just a small guard, but he is using chicken feathers as a token of authority. He is a mean person who is successful."

The old patriarch glanced at his son, whose temples were already gray, with a sullen face, and felt even more upset. However, no matter how stupid his son was, he had to teach him, otherwise what future would their family have?

"His duty is to follow the master's instructions. There is no need to bother with him. If you were the master, would you be willing to have such a servant if he let someone in without authorization?"

Hua Jiayong choked. He definitely wouldn't want such a servant.

It's just that I was treated coldly and I felt a little unhappy.

After an incense stick of time, the housekeeper came out with Zhao Tong and explained, "Patriarch Hua, our master and his wife went to visit a good friend. As for which friend they went to, they did not tell me. I hope you can forgive me."

"So when will they be back?"

"The owner said that he is unsure about when he will return, but he will be back before the Lantern Festival."

The old patriarch's face darkened, and after thinking for a while he asked, "What about Mu Rong?"

"The eldest son has made an appointment with his classmates to go on a study tour, and the second son has gone to take care of business matters. He also said that he will be back during the Lantern Festival. The eldest daughter will be in charge of the mansion for the time being."

The old patriarch felt very unbalanced when he learned that the Hua Mansion was being managed by a person who had no blood relationship with him and was a married daughter.

He had reason to suspect that Hua Feifan deliberately left the Hua Mansion to avoid him, and was determined not to accept their apology!

At this point, he was completely helpless since he couldn't see anyone.

The clan leader led his son away with a gloomy face. Hua Jiayong huddled aside, not daring to make a sound, for fear that his father would vent his anger on him, especially since the one who caused the trouble was the woman in his backyard.
