Chapter 10 - 10: Daughter In Law?

Sima Ziyi was sitting on her bed, thinking about something, when she suddenly heard someone knock on her door. She walked over and opened the door. She then saw a beautiful girl standing there, holding Long Chen's hand.

Since she had seen the girl before, she knew who this girl was. Sima Ziyi knew that it was Long Xue Ying, the only daughter of the Grand Elder of the Long clan, but she couldn't imagine what was happening in front of her.

Long Xue Ying couldn't help but turn even red. In the backdrop, Long Chen was enjoying seeing her turn red and this conversation, although he knew that his mother was probably just teasing her.

"I am just teasing you, little Ying," Sima Ziyi said with a smile as she finally ended the charade.

"So tell me, why are you here today?" Sima Ziyi asked in a gentle tone.

"Aunt Ziyi... I am here to apologize to you. I am sorry. Actually, what happened was that there was an accident. This morning, near the treasure Hall, Long Tian tripped and fell on me, I didn't
