She hasn't been betrothed yet, and if comments from Xiu Yaojun somehow compromise her reputation, it would not bode well.
So, in front of everyone, Wei Ruo made it clear that she and the Xiu family's son were not betrothed, and Xiu Yaojun's comments were merely a jest.
Though Wei Ruo had no intention of marrying into a prestigious family, she did not want to be burdened with an undeserved reputation.
"How was I speaking recklessly? Everything I said was true. Or could it be that being betrothed to my brother is an inconvenience for you?" Xiu Yaojun was somewhat displeased.
Wei Ruo said calmly, "Marriage is no child's play. Without the exchanging of betrothal gifts or formal inquiries, it cannot be considered a betrothal. The elders' jests should not be taken seriously."
Xiu Yaojun's face instantly darkened, feeling offended.
Seeing Xiu Yaojun's gloomy expression, everyone else dared not speak further.
