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

"Wife, what do you think... should we tell Aunt Qi and Da Hu the truth?"

Xin Ye was a little hesitant. Some people would rather live in deception and lead a life of self-deception, while others would do anything to get the truth and justice.

Aunt Qi and Hu Zi...

He didn't know the mother and son very well, so he couldn't make a choice from their perspective.

Yan Yiyi was silent for a moment, then let out a long breath: "When we return to the village, I will try to find out what Aunt Qi is thinking and then decide. If she wants to know the truth, she will tell her the truth."

Xin Ye thought this was a great idea.

Five days later.

Hua Murong and his group traveled a long way and finally returned to Sand City in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Hua Murong, Fei Yuning, Mu Xiong and Zhong Jing separated at the city gate and went back to their homes.

They did not inform the officials in Shacheng or their families about their trip, and returned home in a low-key manner, without any of the pomp and circumstance of a newly crowned top scholar or second place scholar returning home in glory.

The main reason was that they had been traveling all the way, were tired and didn't want to socialize. The second reason was that they also brought Yan Zheng, the prince who was secretly hunted by his stepmother.

In Sand City, Hua Murong was not afraid of Princess Wei's killer at all, but this guy still planned to follow her to Dashan Village. If she did not reveal her tracks before arriving at Dashan Village, Hua Murong was sure that she would not let Princess Wei's men find Yan Zheng.

Therefore, before this, Yan Zheng had to stay hidden. They were accomplices, so they had to keep a low profile without exposing him.

"Master, Madam, the eldest young master, the eldest young lady, and the son-in-law are back!"

This sound of communication that could not conceal the joy was like dropping cold water into hot oil, and the whole Hua Mansion was boiling.

Upon hearing this, Chen Youyou immediately rushed out, without any of her usual dignified and elegant demeanor.

Hua Feifan, who originally wanted to wait for the little bastards to come back and pay a visit to their old father, saw his wife running away and followed her without a second thought, forgetting all about his role as the head of the household and his identity as an old father.

Hua Murong saw her mother rushing out in a hurry. This was the first time she had seen such a situation. Could it be because she had passed the imperial examination and her salary had increased?

Just as she was secretly rejoicing and preparing to receive her mother's warm welcome, Hua Murong watched her rush past her without even glancing at her.

When I turned around, I saw that my mother was hugging my sister.

This...is not surprising at all.

But, seeing Xin Ye also receiving gentle greetings from his mother, he suddenly felt jealous.

"Snapped!"

"Hiss——" Hua Murong couldn't help but gasp when she was suddenly attacked hard on the shoulder. She didn't even need to turn around to know who the culprit was.

"Well done!" Hua Feifan patted Hua Murong's shoulder affirmatively again, but with much less force.

Hua Murong could feel the recognition and pride from her father, and she was very happy to receive her father's approval.

But Hua Feifan's next sentence made Hua Murong's slight smile freeze on her face.

"You are worthy of being my son!"

Hua Murong couldn't help but roll her eyes and ruthlessly brushed away Hua Feifan's big hand.

It’s true, the feeling of being touched can’t last more than a moment.

He thought that since he got the top score in the exam, the treatment would be different, but the result was still the same. He shouldn't have had such expectations.

Having such a narcissistic father, really, he was used to it.

Of course, he was not the only one to enjoy this treatment. All his three brothers and sister were no exception.

Thinking of this, Hua Murong felt relieved immediately.
