Upon hearing this, Zhen Shu reached out fearfully and affectionately patted Shangguan Li on the shoulder, "Silly child, you silly child, it's all my fault for not truly understanding you. Don't worry, I won't be like that anymore. You and Xiao Rou don't need to elope, stay home and protect our family business until your second brother returns. We absolutely can't let that mistress and her illegitimate child get a single penny from us!"
"Yes, yes, Mom, rest assured. Starting tomorrow, I will work harder and definitely won't embarrass you." Shangguan Li nodded quickly, with a serious expression.
For the first time, Zhen Shu felt that her typically irresponsible third son suddenly showed such responsibility.
She was overjoyed, but thinking of her guilt towards this third son and the girl he liked, Wen Rou, she smiled and said, "Xiao Rou probably hasn't had dinner yet either. You should go accompany her. I want to go have dinner with your elder sister."
