Mrs. Dong Sr. was genuinely imploring.
Sister Hui had not spoken at all until she saw her grandmother stop talking, then she finally spoke, "Grandmother, I can understand your feelings. I have thought a lot about this matter since it happened, and I feel it's better to call off the engagement. I am not doubting Cousin's character, but rather, because I understand Cousin too well and know what kind of person he is, I feel it's best to call off the engagement. Cousin is not a careless person, nor is he frivolous. His actions toward Sister Jian clearly show that he has feelings for Elder Sister, so in this situation, I want to help him fulfill his wishes. Grandmother has also seen the life my mother leads; others envy her for being Madam of the Dingyuan Marquis, but who knows what her life is truly like? Grandmother wouldn't want me to have the same life as my mother after marrying into the Marquis Mansion, would you?"
