Due to the commotion caused by the Poetry Competition, the next day Kui Shou went to Hui Zi's house to propose, and many people in Kyoto secretly laughed for quite some time. Hui Zi didn't go out for a long time afterward, and some even spread rumors that she was pregnant.
On the other hand, Fangzi's family soon invited Bai Ruozhu over as a guest. Fangzi's parents personally thanked Bai Ruozhu, saying that if Bai Ruozhu hadn't stopped Fangzi that day, Fangzi would have been tricked by Hui Zi's maid into going to such a place, which would have been troublesome.
"Who knows what that scoundrel would have done," Fangzi's mother couldn't help but curse, but in her agitation began to cough again.
Fangzi's father quickly soothed her and gently said, "Don't be angry, it's not worth it for such people. Fortunately, we saw through it early, didn't let her in the door, and didn't let our Fangzi marry Watanabe."
