However, this only further convinced Wang Youbao that Li Wuyu was not the daughter of a respectable family. After all, which daughter of a respectable family would still be without a betrothal at this point? Li Wuyu was already sixteen years old.
Despite this, Wang Youbao said, "Asking you to wait another year for me, your father would certainly be unwilling. In the coming days, I will visit your residence to settle the matter between us. Once my mourning period is over, I will formally go to your residence to propose."
From these words, it can be seen that Wang Youbao did not think Li Wuyu's father would oppose their marriage.
In Wang Youbao's view, since Li Wuyu was not the daughter of a respectable family and was already of such an age, her father would surely be eager to marry her off, thinking it good enough that someone wanted to take Li Wuyu as a wife.
