The Zhao family got the word that they could start discussing marriage and immediately prepared gifts to negotiate the wedding date with Old Pei's House.
Twenty-seven months after mourning, Lady Fang passed away in December and by this March more than twenty-seven months had passed. Once the mourning period was over, Pei Qin would be able to discuss marriage and be married off.
Sun Xiujin visited her maternal home to catch up with relatives and came to talk to Pei Qin, asking about her marriage plans, "By March, you all should be ending the mourning period too, and marriage is a matter of utmost importance. Don't let Old Pei's House take advantage of any loopholes!"
