Chapter 709 - 703: Found a Match for Youyou
"But I..." Jie’s second son looked at himself with utter disgust and said, "In my current state, how am I worthy of her? I dare not see her, nor do I have the face to!"
Master Jie snorted, his tone anything but pleased, "At a time like this, you still care about your face? If you really cared about your dignity, could you have let the family end up in such a state? Go out and ask around; does the second son of the Jie Family have any face left?"
The heartbroken Jie’s second son was left speechless by his own father’s rebuke.
...
The Jie Family had been troubling the Lin Residence with constant issues recently, seeking help time and again. Madam Lin, who always valued propriety, was quite furious, complaining to Xingyi, "What on earth is going on with the Jie Family? Every day it’s either someone getting hurt or attempting suicide. It’s bad enough during the day, but now they come to our place before dawn to drag someone away. Oh, so it seems Youyou is their servant, always at their beck and call? Youyou is your only niece, and even I have never ordered her around like this. What exactly does the Jie Family mean by this?"
Lin Xingyi replied helplessly, "Youyou is a doctor; can you prevent a doctor from making house calls?"
"There has to be a limit, though. I say nothing of the day, but she is an unmarried girl, visiting other households before dawn—how is that proper? Xingyi, I’ve recently been matching Youyou with suitable families. If word of this gets out, would anyone agree to it? Tell me, who would want their daughter-in-law running off to another’s house at night?"
"What? You’re looking for a match for Youyou?" Lin Xingyi was so surprised that he nearly fell off his chair.
