I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.

"But what can we do?" Liu Nanjia paced back and forth in the room, lost in thought.

"Why don't we just go to their house and explain things clearly? The scholar in Canghe Village has a daughter of marriageable age. With this information, it should be easy to find out."

“It’s one way, but this way this family won’t be able to succeed. What if they continue to use this method to cheat other families?” Song Chen was also thinking.

"Then let's spread this word, including about that unscrupulous matchmaker, and make everything they did clear."

Liu Nanjia continued pacing back and forth.

"It's still not a good idea. This matter is still quite private, not many people know about it, and there's no evidence. Besides, this would also expose the girl's affairs, which wouldn't be good for her reputation. Her family probably won't be willing to cooperate."

Song Chen thought for a moment and shook his head.

"This won't work, that won't work, what do you suggest we do!" Liu Nanjia said anxiously.

Reputation, reputation, this ancient time is such a hassle. You have to consider your reputation for everything you do, and it can be ruined so easily.

In modern times, this would be considered a clear case of marriage fraud, and would be condemned by millions. Everyone would support the girl who stood up to expose the scumbag. But here, there are so many concerns. It's infuriating.

"Don't rush." ​​Song Chen pulled Liu Nanjia, who was still pacing back and forth, and pressed her down onto a stool.

"This matter definitely needs to be dealt with, but there's no need to rush. We're still in the betrothal stage, so information is very tightly controlled and won't be easily leaked. The Liu family is even less likely to say anything, fearing that Liu Anhe's true identity might be revealed. Didn't you see that Aunt Wang has been asking around for so long and hasn't heard anything? Besides, there's that twenty taels of betrothal gift; it's not something that can be easily given out, otherwise... they wouldn't have done what they did back then. The father and son trying to steal money a while ago was probably related to this, so they probably don't have enough money right now."

Liu Nanjia was forced to sit down. After listening to Song Chen's analysis, she gradually calmed down, but she was still muttering: "That old man, can't he even come up with twenty taels? Where did all the money that my parents earned go? And why does he have to marry the daughter of a scholar? He's willing to spend twenty taels on betrothal gifts, but he doesn't even look at the character of his grandson."

She felt that Old Master Liu must know about this, and Liu Song and Fang Shi probably wouldn't dare to do something so daring without his knowledge.

Song Chen wanted to laugh as he listened to Liu Nanjia's mutterings, but he felt it was inappropriate and forcibly held it back.

Liu Yanxi has finally calmed down. The news he learned today must have been the biggest shock to him.

But seeing that her younger sister's reaction was even stronger than her own, she comforted her, saying, "Yes, let's not rush. We still have time to think of a solution."

"Ugh, this is so annoying. Why does their family have so many problems? I just don't understand. If they really care about their image, they shouldn't do such shameful things. Or do they think everyone else is a fool and they can be fooled by them?" Liu Nanjia was still quite annoyed.

Liu Sirou had been quiet while they were talking, but now that her sister had sat down, she came over and tugged at her hand. "Sister, don't be angry. Didn't you say that it's not worth getting sick over those people?"

Looking at her little sister's serious expression, Liu Nanjia chuckled, "You're such a little kid, why are you acting like a little adult? Okay, listen to your little sister, I won't be angry anymore."

This time it was Liu Sirou's turn to mutter: "Adult is adult, why add the word 'little'? I'm not little anymore, I feed the chickens at home very well."

"Yes, yes, our Sirou is the best." Liu Nanjia finally regained her composure.

Song Chen thought to herself, "They're only 12 themselves, yet they accuse others of acting like adults. These two sisters are really alike."

With Liu Sirou's intervention, the matter was finally over. Indeed, at this point, no amount of anger could solve the problem.

The problem needs to be resolved, but life must go on.

In the following days, apart from doing her daily routine, Liu Nanjia spent the rest of her time thinking about how to arrange Huang Liuanhe's marriage.

She racked her brains but still couldn't come up with a solution. She's always been straightforward and wanted to rush out and expose their ugly faces.

However, reality did not allow her to do so.

The result was that I didn't expect the right method, and I ended up with dark circles under my eyes from staying up all night.

Aunt Wang, who often visited, naturally noticed her change and asked in surprise, "Nan Jia, what's wrong with you these past few days? Did something happen to your business? You look so haggard."

Liu Nanjia sighed, thinking that she had such a good relationship with Aunt Wang, and that she should be fine. She then told Aunt Wang everything that Aunt Zhao had said that day.

Then he said, "If all else fails, we plan to go to Canghe Village on our day off and tell them the truth. We can't let them be deceived. We'll save one family at a time."

"Such a thing?! Oh dear, it's my fault too. I knew they were arranging a marriage for Liu Anhe, but I didn't think of it this way. I was just thinking that she was of marriageable age." Aunt Wang was also extremely surprised when she heard this, and she angrily scolded the eldest son's family for a long time.

Finally, Liu Nanjia had to persuade her, "Alright, Aunt Wang, I was furious that day too, but getting angry won't solve anything. Calm down, calm down. Not only you, but we also met matchmakers when we were around, but we didn't know any specific details back then, let alone you."

Aunt Wang then stopped and joined in the suggestion, "We have to tell them, otherwise, once they find out they've been scammed, Liu Anhe's reputation will be ruined, but it won't do if Yan Xi gets involved."

"However, it's not really appropriate for you to go by yourselves," Aunt Wang added.

"Why? You can't just tell other people about this kind of thing!" Liu Nanjia asked, puzzled.

"Hey, don't you know the people in this village? They can find out where a strange dog is from just by walking by. You guys, strangers, running around in their village and asking around, are attracting a lot of attention. They might find out what's going on, which wouldn't be good for Yanxi or the girl."

Liu Nanjia recalled how, every time she returned from town, the uncles and aunties in the village would wish their eyes were X-rays so they could see through the baskets and find it rather speechless.

It was her oversight; it really was just as Aunt Wang said.

In such a small village where everyone knows each other, there is almost no privacy.

Moreover, Canghe Village is quite far away, and it would be risky for just the two of them to go. They would have to bring Song Chen along; with his size, he could easily pass for an adult.

Who knows what kind of gossip might spread if a strange man like Song Chen goes to a girl's house?

Luckily, I told Aunt Wang, otherwise they would have gotten into trouble.

Alas, women were truly treated unfairly in ancient times.

"What should we do then?" Liu Nanjia frowned again.

“You’re still children, so there’s someone who would be perfect for this,” Aunt Wang said with a smile.
