Mingzhu didn't find out about her son being engaged to Miss Peng until early May. Staring at Niu Yanghui, who told her the news, she said, "Are you joking with me?" There was a slight delay in the message Bai Yi sent, and it didn't reach Mingzhu promptly. Now that Mingzhu knew, it was unfortunately too late to change anything, as the engagement between the two children was already set.
Niu Yanghui initially didn't plan to tell Mingzhu, but after some thought, he realized there was no way to keep it a secret. If he didn't tell Mingzhu now, she would find out in a few days, and by then, she would definitely blame even him. Niu Yanghui said helplessly, "Why would I joke about my son's marriage?" He could somewhat guess why his father had done this; it was likely because something Yueyao did in Suzhou had gotten back to his father, who was worried about bad influences. Fearing that Kexin would follow suit, he hurried to settle Little Bun's marriage.
