"If Taotao and Young Master Zhao truly love each other, I believe it could be a good match."
"Furthermore, you hold an official position, and he's a common citizen. We still have a significant stake in the perfume workshop! If he were to ever disappoint Taotao, we wouldn't let him get away with it."
"If you're concerned about Taotao, there's only so much you can do. Taotao will eventually marry. Regardless of which family she marries into, there will always be worries. No family is without its complexities."
Shao Yunduan's countenance softened as he fell silent.
Qiao Xuan smiled and continued, "However, speaking of Young Master Zhao, he does seem rather mysterious. Let's set this matter aside for now. When we return from Qingdi, I'll go back and inquire about what's happening."
Shao Yunduan agreed, saying, "I believe that's a prudent approach. We'll discuss it when we return. If Mom consents, Taotao… well, it may not be out of the question."
