"My parents might think that Sanfu will have great prospects in the future," Pei Dongyu continued.
"They also said that if Sanfu had great prospects, he would help me to be more successful in the officialdom. Naturally, I didn't agree with my parents' idea, but it's true that my sister should be betrothed to someone worthy.
"Other people are already married at my sister's age, but I'm afraid that she won't marry well and suffer grievances in her in-laws' family. Even if my parents had a few people they liked before I became an official, I didn't agree with those people.
"For me, I think Sanfu is very reliable. I've seen him a few times in the past, and he's part of your family. I thought that if she really married Sanfu, Sanfu would treat her well and not let her suffer. No one in your family would bully her, so I naturally felt at ease. I only have this one sister after all."
Xue Yan understood.
