Mrs. Yang was at her wit's end with her daughter.
When it came to her marriage, she wasn't the least bit shy. Any other girl would have simply done as her parents said and hidden herself away. But not Juhua. Not only had she put both herself and Huai Zi through the wringer, but now that they were discussing the engagement, she was arguing heatedly with her family, insisting they not have a big celebration.

Wouldn't we be doing them a disservice?"
