Chen Yuling couldn't understand it at all.
Since when did a common man become so important in her mother's life?
Surely her mother isn't that scandalous?
Chen Yuling's face turned red and her ears steamed.
『NO! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!』
She shook her head and slapped her cheeks until they were red enough to hide her blushing.
That's when she recalled Chen Jingshu's words.
『Mother considers him a close friend…』
Yuling held her chest with a relieved smile.
"That explains it. I shouldn't judge so readily. Junior Brother Li is truly righteous—different from other men. He would never do anything shameless with Mother. And Mother is too pure and faithful to Father's memory…"
She clasped her hands.
『Mother is like untouched snow. No man can ever lay hands on her beauty. Innocent and noble. I'll come back later so as not to disturb their friendly catch-up.』
But then Gao Yue muttered something about tidying her scroll room and departed.
Chen Yuling tapped her chin.
