Uncle Qing nodded in agreement. "That's exactly what I was going to suggest! It's better to address it sooner rather than later. Lord Shao and Madame Shao are reasonable individuals, and I doubt they will have any objections."
"Indeed. Procrastination might make us appear insincere, and it could even irk Lord Shao. He may appear gentle, but when angered, he can be quite formidable."
"Absolutely."
Zhao Shu responded with a nervous expression. "…"
A tingling sensation ran down Zhao Shu's spine, and he instinctively contemplated a hasty retreat. He meekly questioned, "Must we discuss it now? I'm not fully prepared yet. How about we wait until Lord Shao returns from Qingdi?"
"Who said it's not too late?" Aunt Qing remained resolute, offering a warm smile. "By then, it will indeed be too late! Discussing such matters sooner rather than later demonstrates your sincerity. Young Master, why don't you prepare for it tomorrow? We can converse in two days!"
