At Xie Ying's age, it is already late to discuss marriage proposals. Only because the Xie Family spoils her has she been unmarried to this day.
"Right! My grandparents and my parents told me that I can choose whoever I like, whether he is a high-ranking official or a lowly peddler, as long as I love him. They have no objections, as long as the man treats me like my father treats my mother, with fondness and respect, and he remains monogamous."
Even though Madam Xie is very affectionate toward her daughter, she can't keep her by her side forever.
"That's quite nice, just choose someone you like," Wei Ruo said.
"I want to be like you, choose someone who is short-lived, preferably who would die immediately after I marry him. Then I could live freely and honorably by myself," Xie Ying said.
"No, no, no," Wei Ruo hurriedly responded. "Don't learn this from me. If Madam Xie and the Xie Family's sons knew, they would be coming at me with a knife!"
