Having experienced such matters many tis before, Big Sister Dani had grown used to it, and just like earlier, she once again expressed to Wu’s her desire not to marry for the ti being.
However, this ti, Wu’s did not stop there, and for the first ti showed displeasure regarding her daughter’s marriage prospects, "Big Sister Dani, that family is a very good one, and even if I wanted to find fault, there is nothing to criticize. What exactly are you dissatisfied with?"
"Mother, your daughter..." Seeing that Big Sister Dani wanted to say sothing, Wu’s interrupted her and continued, "You don’t need to use the excuse of not wanting to marry for the ti being to appease anymore. Aren’t you my daughter? Don’t I know you? You’ve been sensible since childhood, never causing any worry. I rember when you were seven years old, you went up the mountain to chop wood and accidentally cut your leg. You walked all the way ho bleeding, and I was almost scared to death, but you comforted by saying it didn’t hurt... You didn’t want to worry about you, and even if you didn’t want to marry, if I told you to, you would obey and marry obediently. But now, when there is a suitable family, you would rather have worry than get married. What is the reason? Even if you don’t say it, I can guess... Do you, do you have soone in your heart?"
Knowing her daughter better than anyone else, Wu’s could see all of Big Sister Dani’s peculiarities. She had not asked before, thinking that since her daughter was grown up, she would naturally have her own private thoughts and it wasn’t right to interfere too much. If it were not for Big Sister Dani’s stubbornness, which was now affecting her future happiness, Wu’s would still not have brought the matter into the open.
Big Sister Dani looked at Wu’s in shock, clearly not expecting her own secrets to be seen through by her mother. Her mind went blank, wanting to find an excuse to cover it up, but facing her mother’s worried gaze, she couldn’t utter a single word in rebuttal.
Wu’s raised her hand, gently caressing her daughter’s increasingly pale face, and said softly, "Tell Mother who he is, please? If you do, Mother can decide for you. If you don’t, I can only choose a suitable family for you to marry into. You’re already nineteen, you can’t delay any longer!"
Big Sister Dani’s tears just started falling down like that, without warning, "Mother, your daughter’s heart hurts so much, your daughter doesn’t know what to do. I just don’t know, I really don’t know..."
Telling her mother what then? Could her mother possibly marry her off to that man? No, that was impossible. Even if she beca a concubine, that man would probably not give her a second glance. Her mother would not allow her to be a concubine for a lifeti, beneath others, and she herself would not be soone’s concubine, making her own children call soone else mother. It would be better to just keep this feeling, and slowly forget that man.
When the day cos that she forgets, lets go, only then can she follow her mother’s arrangent and marry soone suitable. Only this way can she be true to that feeling, and be fair to her future husband.
Looking at her daughter, who was lying in her arms crying uncontrollably, tears of heartache rolled down Wu’s own eyes, "Big Sister Dani, please tell Mother who he is. As long as he is good, and his intentions towards you are true, Mother will not be against it."
But Big Sister Dani could only shake her head, unable to say a word. She knew it was impossible, and speaking about it would only cause her mother unnecessary worry.
As soon as Mo Yan ca in, she saw the mother and daughter embracing and weeping, and was montarily startled, thinking so major event had occurred.
Seeing Mo Yan, Wu’s eyes brightened, and she hurriedly said, "Yan girl, please help persuade Big Sister Dani. This silly girl has soone in her heart and keeps it hidden from , and she doesn’t want to listen to and get married. If this continues, her lifelong happiness will be delayed."
Mo Yan had co precisely for Big Sister Dani’s matter and, seeing that Aunt Wu indeed knew, she felt relieved. However, she wondered how to ask when even Aunt Wu couldn’t find out who the man was.
But given the circumstances, she couldn’t not ask. A girl in love could easily beco muddled. If in confusion, she did sothing regrettable, it would be too late to ask.
Having made up her mind, Mo Yan decided it was best to clarify the matter.
Wu’s, sharing the sa concerns as Mo Yan, was worried that her daughter might do sothing foolish that she would regret forever, so she resolved to clear things up that day.
In the end, Big Sister Dani couldn’t withstand their combined persuasion, and perhaps she thought that opening up to the two people she trusted most to help her decide might be better. So, casting aside the shyness in her heart, she finally divulged the man who had captured her heart, yet it was soone none had expected, "Mother, Yan girl, the person you know, it’s Young Master Yan. I know I’m not worthy of him, but I really have tried my best. I can’t control my own heart!"
Mo Yan could hardly believe her ears, but seeing Big Sister Dani’s bashful face, and hearing her utter the words "Young Master Yan," she had no choice but to believe.
Disaster, that man was simply a disaster!
"No wonder, no wonder Big Sister Dani has been visiting our house more often recently. So this is why, this is why..." Mo Yan murmured to herself, her gaze toward Big Sister Dani turning sowhat complicated.
Duke Wu’an’s Mansion was the Empress Dowager’s maternal ho, acknowledged as one of the top noble clans in the capital. Even without the Empress Dowager, based on Duke Wu’an’s prestige in the court, no one dared to belittle them.
Yan Junyu seed unruly, disregarding social status, but as the heir to Duke Wu’an’s Mansion, even he probably couldn’t decide on his own marriage, otherwise, he wouldn’t have hidden away in Liu Yang Village this ti.
She was sure that Yan Junyu had no feelings for Big Sister Dani. Even if he did, their statuses were too different; being together was nearly impossible. Unless one day, Big Sister Dani—like her—could fight for her own status, then there might be a slim possibility.
