Rong Rong, however, said, "Uncle, I... I already have a marriage arrangement..."
The head of the eldest branch of the family sighed, "Rong Rong, your engagement to Doctor Xu isn't official yet, so it doesn't count as a marriage arrangement. I believe you would be willing to do this for the family, right?"
Just as Rong Rong was about to speak, Lady Rong came over, took her hand, and wept, "Rong Rong, your uncle and I have not been stingy with you. When the Shens ran into trouble and you went to give money to Miss Shen, we contributed as well. When your affairs caused a stir and many people pointed fingers at the Rongs, we stood by you and didn't blame you at all. Little Rong, since childhood you've been clothed in silk and fed the best food. Before our households split, we raised you like our own legitimate daughter. For the sake of the clan, please consider this your aunt's plea!"
Having said this, Lady Rong actually started to kneel before Rong Rong!
