Had Not Returned At Midnight

 Now that Qing Qing was leaving, Mrs. Zhou personally sent her back to her home. It was also for her to get to know where Qing Qing stayed. If she was worried about Qing Qing in the future, she could still come over to take a look.

 "If you have any difficulties, just come and tell me. I don't have much ability, but I will definitely help you if I can."

 Qing Qing nodded gratefully. "I understand. Thank you, Aunt."

 There was no one at home. Qing Qing's father might have gone out to gamble. At first, Mrs. Zhou wanted to say a few words to him, but there was no one at home. Thus, she could only give up.

 Qing Qing only closed the courtyard gate after Mrs. Zhou had walked far away.

 The moment the courtyard door was closed, a mocking voice rang out from behind her. "You seem to be quite reluctant. Why? Do you really want to be someone's daughter-in-law?"
