The room fell silent for a while until Old Lady Qiao was the first to break the quietness. Sitting on the kang bed, she burst into howls of crying, "What kind of situation is this? What kind of sin did the Qiao family commit? Not to mention the constant troubles, but now even my son's marriage is jeopardized! Oh my, I can't take this!"
Qiao Dazhi was also furious. He was completely unwilling to marry off to a "money-losing" daughter-in-law, but seeing Qiao Yuanzhen's attitude today, it seemed that he had no other choice but to marry her.
He understood Qiao Yuanzhen's character. His sudden insistence on marrying Li Qinghe today must have an unspeakable reason. As for what it was, Qiao Dazhi naturally would not disclose it, but everything was considered for Qiao Yuanzhen's sake. Even if Qiao Dazhi was reluctant, there was nothing he could do but to comply. In a few days, it would be the imperial examination, which he absolutely must not take lightly.
