Actually, Meng Linlang had several regrets.
If they had taken Xiao Xi home sooner, they would have arranged a suitable marriage for her.
From an objective point of view, Lu Tingxiao's status was one of the best.
However, that was also what worried her. With Xiao Xi's personality, she might not be able to face such a huge and complex family on her own.
By comparison, the Li family was a suitable one.
Their position was stable enough for the Zhuang family. It was not too high up for Xiao Xi to feel too much pressure.
Most importantly, the family relationship within the Li family was much simpler.
The Li family was the richest merchant in Province S and Li You was the only daughter of the Li family. Lu Muyan was Li You's only son as well. Not only did he inherit the career as a diplomatic officer from his father, he also had the strong financial support of the Li family, smoothening things over the path of his career.
