"You little rascal. I've had my eye on you since last night—you've been acting all sneaky. Tell me, what are you sneaking off to do now?"
The old woman grabbed Chen Wanyue, who was shouldering a basket and about to head out. She looked her up and down, a sharp glint in her murky eyes. "You girl, you're definitely hiding something. Tell me the truth. What are you up to?"
Chen Wanyue clutched the engagement token in her hand, feeling a mix of satisfaction and resentment.
Her engagement to Li Cun was finally settled.
But her betrothal to Zhao Jing hadn't been formally broken off yet. Mrs. Li was also worried Li Cun would find out prematurely if they finalized things with her. So, the matter was handled in secret. Including Mrs. Wang the matchmaker, only four people knew.
It was all so secretive, like they were thieves.
