Mrs. Zhao had been about to mention that Zhao Jing's mother, upon hearing about the Chen family promising one daughter to two families, had become sick with anger. Otherwise, she would have joined them today to ask for Wanqing's hand in marriage.
But then she abruptly stopped herself. 'Wouldn't saying that sound like I'm trying to coerce them?'
Chen Song and Xu Suying were a principled couple. It wouldn't be right if they hastily agreed to the marriage out of guilt.
And so, Mrs. Zhao held her tongue, swallowing the words she was about to say.
As soon as Mrs. Zhao finished, Second Aunt-in-law spoke up. "Don't think we're being hasty, and please don't be offended by our proposal. The truth is, this marriage needs to be settled quickly. Otherwise, both our families will face a world of trouble."
And what kind of trouble?
