Upon hearing the news that Fei'er had privately committed her life to the legitimate son of Duke Li Guo's Mansion, Lady Du and Mu Zhongqing couldn't remain seated; they stood up together and vehemently opposed their daughter's decision.
"Fei'er, at your tender age, how could you decide such a major matter on your own?"
"A young master from a prestigious family, especially one that a little girl like you can control? What's more, the deep courtyard of Duke Li Guo's Mansion isn't a place our kind of people can reach. You better abandon this thought quickly!"
"Your sister was much more capable than you and did the same thing, keeping it from us parents and choosing her life partner herself. What resulted from it? Assassins chased her down to our home to kill, and now our entire family is hiding here like rats, still not knowing when this will end!"
