The marriage proposal was not agreed upon, as their excuse about the house collapsing blocked further discussions about taking Xie Yi and Xie Ze away, and so the negotiations came to a halt.
Before leaving, Second Madam Zheng called Xie Yi over for a talk.
After boarding the carriage, Xie Yi listened to Second Madam Zheng and Old Lady Zheng for quite some time, her face turning alternately red and white.
First Madam was busy buying snacks roadside and didn't join them. Seeing Xie Yi's abnormal complexion coming down from the carriage, she couldn't help but remind her, "Pei Wendong sincerely wants to marry you, that's truly your good fortune. Don't be indecisive, or you might end up with nothing and ruin your reputation!"
Xie Yi's gaze sharpened, and she slightly bowed her knee, "Thank you for your guidance, Aunt First Madam."
First Madam didn't say much more, she picked up the snacks and boarded the carriage.
