Now that they were all living at the Gu Mansion it was very easy for him to get close to her. What he needed was to make the girl fall for him. Then he could ask his father to make the proposal so that they could get married.
At that time, they were going to obtain lots of dowries. With that amount of money, he would be able to buy a huge mansion, hire many maids and some stores.
When they went through the difficult period, he was going to marry a real wife, and live an excellent life.
With that idea in mind Zhang Mingyuan became somewhat excited. He did not think that it was necessary to argue with aunt. The argument would only worsen the relationship.
So he said with a look of flattery, "Aunt, I apologize for what my mother said. Since we are all living at the Gu Mansion, we should all obey your words, Aunt, in every aspect."
