Ziyang and Tianxin admit their relationship after Ziqian physically confronts Ziyang. Tianxin's mother, Ping, learns of their relationship and grapples with the implications, though she ultimately finds herself accepting of their feelings. Ziqian and Ping discuss Ziyang's actions and their relationship.

The only difference between them is Ziyang's age, being older than Tianxin; otherwise, they are perfectly suited.

Their compatibility is undeniable!

"What ridiculousness are you spouting! How could they possibly be together!" Ziqian's voice was sharp as he reprimanded Ping, impatiently shaking off her hand. Ziyang and Tianxin absolutely must not be together!

"Why can't they be together? Just state your reasons!" Ping was furious, her stomach churning with anger at his harsh tone. This man was utterly unreasonable, stubbornly defiant! He refused to heed her opinion, truly so unreasonable!

"This matter doesn't concern you; you don't need to involve yourself."

"Fine, it doesn't concern me! And you don't concern me either!" Ping stomped her foot in anger, storming away. His words were incredibly hurtful; how could Ziyang's affairs have nothing to do with her? She is Ziyang's sister-in-law – how could it be unrelated to her?!

Ziqian's brow furrowed. He quickly stepped forward, attempting to grasp Ping's hand, but she pulled away the moment he opened his mouth to speak. She walked off without a backward glance, unwilling to pay him any mind!

"Wife, I didn't mean it that way..." Ziqian rushed to block her path, gripping her shoulder to explain himself. "Handle it yourself; it's between you and Ziyang, it has nothing to do with me!" Ping stated coldly, her heart aching. "I didn't mean that; it's just better if you don't get involved in this matter..." Ziqian fumbled through his explanation, at a loss for words. In any case, he absolutely did not want Ping to learn of those cruel rules. If Ziyang wished to be with Tianxin, a heavy price would need to be paid.

"I don't want to speak with you!" Ping shoved him away, her emotions now a torrent of sadness. His words had wounded her deeply; he actually declared it had nothing to do with her! "Ping, I..."

Just then, Ping's phone rang. She answered, "Madam."

"Ping, I've arrived at the farm. Come find me in the hotel lobby."

"Understood, Madam." Ping paused before ending the call, wondering how Madam had arrived so swiftly... She had contacted Madam less than an hour ago, hadn't she? Yet Madam was already at the farm! The only logical explanation was that Madam had been in Lin City all along. This allowed her to reach the farm so quickly. Madam undoubtedly already knew about Tianxin and Ziyang. What should she do...? So worried, would Madam become enraged and strike Miss...? No, she had to hurry over; in case Madam's anger led her to hit Miss, she could intervene!

Tucking her phone into her bag, she lifted her foot to leave, but Ziqian grasped her arm. She turned her head and fiercely said to him, "What? Let go!"

"Madam is here?" Ziqian inquired seriously. Hearing Ping's words, it was clear Madam had arrived. This meant Madam must already be aware of Ziyang and Tianxin's union. Does Master know? This is alarming! He had intended to resolve this matter discreetly, but he hadn't anticipated Madam already knowing! "Yes, she knows everything!" Ping retorted angrily.

The couple hurried towards the hotel. The first person they spotted upon entering the lobby was Tian Xingyun. She was seated on a sofa, sipping water, with several bodyguards standing behind her. The moment they saw Tian Xingyun, she also noticed them. Tian Xingyun set down her cup and stood up, smiling as she awaited their approach.

Upstairs in the room.

Tianxin was using a towel to tend to Ziyang's wound, the fabric becoming stained with blood. "Brother Ziyang, we really should go to the hospital for a check-up!" Tianxin gazed at his face with deep concern; the corner of his mouth was terribly swollen.

"There's no need; it will heal in a couple of days." Ziyang held her hand to reassure her; this kind of injury was trivial to him. Elder Brother was angry, but he hadn't truly struck him with significant force.
